General Environment
This is a marine species.
Description
Similar in
morphology to Fucus vesiculosus L. but distinguished from it by
hermaphroditic receptacles, the presence of a receptacle sterile
rim, monopodial branching, and the absence of bladders; by
shorter thallus and shorter frond length between the holdfast and
the first dichotomy; by less wide apical frond; by higher and wider
receptacles; by higher ratio of receptacle width:length and
receptacle height:length; by higher intertidal zonation and
physiological resilience to air exposure; by differences in the
nuclear protein coding gene transcripts (BiP1, clpB, clpC, clpP,
eIF3l, HSP90_1, HSP90_2, PXMP2/4_2, mpv17l2, TTC1, STI1,
CCT4, CCT-epsilon, PXMP2/4_1) and microsatellite loci (L20,
L78). Also similar in morphology to Fucus spiralis L. but
distinguished from it by the presence of a receptacle sterile rim
and monopodial branching; by longer thallus and frond between
the holdfast and the first dichotomy; by wider apical frond; by
shorter receptacle height; longer receptacle; wider receptacle; by
smaller ratio of receptacle width:length and receptacle height:
length; by lower intertidal zonation and physiological resilience
to air exposure; by differences in the nuclear protein coding gene
transcripts (BiP1, clpB, clpC, clpP, eIF3l, HSP90_1, HSP90_2, PXMP2/4_2, mpv17l2, TTC1, STI1, CCT4, CCT-epsilon,
PXMP2/4_1) and microsatellite loci (L20, L78). [Original description.]
