| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Seven gene sequences were determined from 88-year-old herbarium specimens of L. japonica using Next-generation sequencer (NGS) with limited reference sequence data. This study showed that sequencing of historical specimens using NGS is a powerful tool for systematics and identification of not only model, but also non-model, organisms.
Morphology and molecular data recognized that correct name, some new records, and some new speices of the cosmopolitan red algae Champia 'parvula', Schizymenia dubyi, and Palmaria 'mollis' from Japan.
