| Description |
Seaweeds are assemblage of diverse group of plants predominantly occur in coastal
waters. Owing to their sessile nature, intertidal seaweeds in general developed strategies
to withstand diverse stresses resulting from variations in desiccation, ultraviolet
radiation, salinity, temperature and anthropogenic activities (heavy metal pollution and
other toxicants like Ionic liquids). The capacity of algae to tolerate different types of
abiotic stress has been related to their vertical distribution along the intertidal gradient.
Despite the basic scientific interest in physiological responses of algae to environmental
stresses, the metabolic pathways involved and the fundamental biochemical responses
implicated in the tolerance mechanisms have not been investigated in detail.
