Tolerance to oxidative stress induced by desiccation in Porphyra columbina (Bangiales, Rhodophyta)
TL;DR: The results indicate that desiccation in P. columbina causes overproduction of ROS that is efficiently attenuated and could be operating as tolerance mechanisms due to the fact that these responses principally prevent biomolecular alteration and cellular collapse.
Diversity, phenomenology and epidemiology of epiphytism in farmed Gracilaria chilensis (Rhodophyta) in northern Chile
Patricia Ines Leonardi,Alicia B. Miravalles,Sylvain Faugeron,Verónica Flores,Jessica Beltrán,Juan A. Correa +5 more
TL;DR: The most common epiphytes infecting the algal host Gracilaria chilensis on a farm in northern Chile were identified and their relative abundance and temporal variability were monitored.

Phospholipases and galactolipases trigger oxylipin-mediated wound-activated defence in the red alga Gracilaria chilensis against epiphytes.
Ulrich Lion,Theresa Wiesemeier,Florian Weinberger,Jessica Beltrán,Verónica Flores,Sylvain Faugeron,Juan A. Correa,Georg Pohnert +7 more
TL;DR: The immediate release of oxylipins can be seen as G. chilensis defence against epiphytes as well as the hydroxylated eicosanoids after wounding.

Identification of cryptic species in the lessonia nigrescens complex (phaeophyceae, laminariales)(1).
Alejandra V. González,Jessica Beltrán,Luciano Hiriart-Bertrand,Verónica Flores,Bruno de Reviers,Juan A. Correa,Bernabé Santelices +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the name Lessonia nigrescens should not be used for the Chilean material and the new combination Lessonia spicata (Suhr) Santelices is proposed for the central lineage and Lessonia berteroana for the northern lineage.

Up-regulation of lipoxygenase, phospholipase, and oxylipin-production in the induced chemical defense of the red alga Gracilaria chilensis against epiphytes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an extract of an epiphyte-challenged alga can trigger a defense response and that neither jasmonic acid nor the algal metabolite prostaglandin E2 triggers comparable defense responses.
