is a genus of filamentous, marine brown algae. Brown algae belong to the stramenopiles, a large supergroup of organisms that are only distantly related to animals, land plants and fungi. Brown algae are also one of only a small number of eukaryotic lineages that have evolved complex multicellularity. For many years, little information was available concerning the molecular mechanisms underlying multicellular development in the brown algae, but this situation has changed with the emergence of as a model brown alga. Here we summarise some of the main questions that are being addressed and areas of study using as a model organism and discuss how the genomic information, genetic tools and molecular approaches available for this organism are being employed to explore developmental questions in an evolutionary context.
是丝状海洋褐藻的一个属。褐藻属于不等鞭毛类，这是一个大型的生物超群，与动物、陆地植物和真菌的亲缘关系非常远。褐藻也是仅有的少数进化出复杂多细胞性的真核生物谱系之一。多年来，关于褐藻多细胞发育的分子机制的信息很少，但随着作为模式褐藻的出现，这种情况已经改变。在这里，我们总结了一些正在探讨的主要问题以及以作为模式生物的研究领域，并讨论了如何利用该生物可用的基因组信息、遗传工具和分子方法在进化背景下探索发育问题。
