Breeding in the Economically Important Brown Alga Undaria pinnatifida: A Concise Review and Future Prospects

Undaria pinnatifida is the commercially second most important brown alga in the world. Its global annual yield has been more than two million tonnes since 2012. It is extensively cultivated in East Asia, mainly consumed as food but also used as feed for aquacultural animals and raw materials for ext...
