This book describes the latest advances in systems biology in four
plant-based marine ecosystems: seaweeds, seagrasses, microalgae,
and corals. Marine organisms that inhabit the oceanic environment
experience a diverse range of environmental fluctuations,
anthropogenic stress, and threats from invasive species and
pathogens. System biology integrates physiology, genomics,
transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics into numerical models
and is emerging as an important approach to elucidate the
functional adaptations of marine organisms to adverse environmental
conditions. This book focuses on how ecophysiology, omics
platforms, their integration (a systems biology perspective), and
next generation sequencing tools are being used to address the
stress response of marine seaweeds, seagrasses, corals, marine
microbe diversity, and micro-and macroalgae/corals-bacterial
interactions to global climate change and anthropogenic activities.
The contents of the book are of special interest to graduate and
postgraduate marine biology students and marine biology
researchers, particularly those interested in marine ecology,
stress physiology of marine macrophytes/corals/phytoplankton, and
environmental microbiology. This book would also be of interest to
marine engineers engaged in the management and conservation of our
valuable marine resources.
