| Research Abstract |
In this study, we have researched the mechanism of complementary chromatic adaptation in marine red algae Porphyra yezoensis. Some visually dramatic changes in pigmentation of P. yezoensis gametophytes that occur during changing light conditions were reversibly. Therefore it was suggested that P. yezoensis gametophytes have complementary chromatic adaptation ability. Moreover, it was thought that the system was regulated by the light responsiveness of genes that encode several light-harvesting proteins in P. yezoensis.
