🌊🔬 Our June-harvest at lofotenblueharvest.com suggests that priming kelp gametophytes impacts sporophyte yield. Next up: testing effects on heat stress, fouling, grazing, biochemistry & epigenetic memory. Thanks AWI Media, @LofotenBlueHarvest, @NIBIO_no & Nord universitet

Congrats to Lydia Scheschonk (Universität Bremen) & Anne Margrete Leiros Nilsen (Nord universitet) on their new #SugarKelp research that shows that chloroplast DNA methylation varies by geographic origin, revealing long-term environmental adaptations. #epigenetics onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

🧬🌳 How does the environment shape evolution? New review article lead by Ewan Harney explores the interplay between the epigenome, genome, & environment, highlighting how epigenetic variation may drive rapid adaptation. #epigenetics #evolution onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

Don't miss this deep dive PhD-level course on plant and algae epigenetics Secure your place in August. The course runs the first two weeks of September: photosyntech.no/course/1667/ #epigenetics #plantscience #algae

#Kelp research alert! 🌊🌡️ Can we make kelp more resilient to rising sea temperatures? The first PhD paper of Clement Gauci shows promising results using thermal #priming to boost growth & heat tolerance in Saccharina latissima. int-res.com/articles/meps_…

Huge thanks to Inka Bartsch & Andreas Wagner AWI Media for the #kelp clonal gametophyte isolation workshop! 🙌 Great learning & collaboration with colleagues from @NordUniversity, Polaralge, Kelpinor & nubia betancourt. Exciting times for #KELPRIME & #DEFY projects! #Seaweed #research

🔬 Cell article on the evolutionary genomics of brown algae: - Explosive genome evolution during early emergence - Gene amplifications driving diversification - Viral genome integrations shaping evolution cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Big congrats to Anne Nilsen on her article exploring the methylome of clonal seagrass shoots! 🌿 This work on Zostera marina offers valuable insights into age-related methylation, tissue differentiation, and stress memory. bit.ly/423W3Rw👏 #Epigenetics #SeagrassScience

Just deployed offspring from high- & low-#biofouled ##kelp! We're quantifying heritability of fouling intensity—a crucial step toward fouling-resistant kelp for #aquaculture & #restoration. Huge thanks to Polaralge AS, Kelpinor & the engaged students at Nord University!

Great days at #ISS2025 in Victoria 🇨🇦! We from @norduniversity, AWI Medien & @Roscoff to share our work. Anne Nilsen, Niko Steiner, Clément Gauci & Griffin Hill presented their PhDs + #KELPRIME project, incl. Leo Minini’s work. Great contacts, learning, & excursions.

I'm now on Bluesky! If you're also exploring alternatives, come find me there: 👉 @alexanderjuterbock.bsky.social I'll still check in here, but updates will now be on Bluesky. Looking forward to continuing the conversation in a new space.
