Discover the captivating world of algae through the lens of genomics in Ecological Genomics of Algae. This comprehensive resource explores the evolutionary, ecological, and molecular foundations of algal biology. Spanning 21 chapters, it delves into genome evolution, environmental adaptation, energy acquisition, nutrient uptake, environmental sensing and signal transduction, stress responses, defense, and algae-microbe interactions. From unicellular forms to complex seaweeds, this book illuminates how algae navigate their environments and adapt to climate change. Ideal for researchers and students, it provides cutting-edge insights into the genomic mechanisms driving one of nature's most versatile and essential groups of organisms.
