| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sargasum horineri is an annual brown algae, sometimes grows more than 10m in height. In Niigata prefecture, reproductive period of this species lasts from January to June. This study aimed to understand the mechanism to make this long reproductive period and its power as an isolation mechanism.
In the field observations, variation in reproductive period has been confirmed at three sites of mainland honshu (Ichiburi, Kasashima, Kamomegahana). In culture experiments, winter-fertile plants showed no clear photoperiodity in sexual maturation, which is clearly different from spring-fertile plants. Molecular analyses, based on mitochondrial cox3 and nuclear microsatellite markers, showed strong genetic differentiation between the populations being fertile in January to March and those in April to June. Furthermore, the microsatellite markers showed genetic differentiation between sites, which make a complex genetic structure in S. horneri population in Niigata prefecture.
