The name Palisada, which recently was proposed but not validly published for a new genus in the Laurencia complex,is validated by the provision of a Latin diagnosis. Relevant omenclatural changes for several species of Chondrophycus are included.

Inspecting herbaria collections of Laurencia rigida highlighted frequent misidentifications between L. rigida and L. heteroclada f. decussata, two poorly studied taxa from Australia. Recent collections of DNA material, including from topotype material, allowed for re-examination of these two taxa using molecular techniques. Detailed morphological and molecular analyses based on two markers (rbcL and COI-5P) strongly supported these two taxa as being distinct from each other and requiring nomenclatural changes. Comprehensive morphological analyses highlighted features useful for accurate identifications. Interestingly, L. rigida was found to belong to the genus Palisada with evidence from both the morphology and molecular data. Therefore, this study proposed recognizing L. rigida as Palisada rigida comb. nov. Molecular data for L. heteroclada f. decussata on the other hand supported its separation from L. heteroclada, with too great a molecular distance to be considered a variety. Morphological characters that best separated P. rigida from L. decussata included seven characters; number of pericentral cells per vegetative axial segment, the presence of secondary pit connections, the presence of lenticular thickenings, tetrasporangia alignment, the presence of corps en cerise, holdfast morphology, and overall plant shape. Morphologically, L. heteroclada f. decussata was also separated from L. heteroclada, particularly by the following characteristics; ultimate branchlets morphologies, lower order branch lengths, primary axis and holdfast morphologies. Therefore, it was proposed that L. heteroclada f. decussata is recognized at a species level as L. decussata comb. et stat. nov.

Taylor's (1960) floristic treatment of the benthic marine algae of the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic and Wynne's (2011) "checklist: third revision" serve as benchmarks in a review of changes made in the past half-century period. There has been a great increase in the number of recognized taxa of red, brown and green algae at all taxonomic ranks: from 758 to 1,393 species, an increase of 84%; from 231 to 406 genera, an increase of 75%; and from 63 to 106 families, an increase of 68%. In regard to recognized infraspecific taxa, the increase was less dramatic, from 140 to 185, thus a 32% change in the 50-year period. This review addresses the question: What factors were responsible for this proliferation of taxa that are now recognized in this domain of the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic? The answer is that many reasons contributed to these changes. Foremost among these causes have been the advances in gene-sequencing technologies. Revised phylogenetic relationships have led to many genera being divided into more than one genus, as well as new families and orders being delineated. Numerous examples of cryptic species have been discovered by gene-sequence and DNA-bar coding studies. This trend is depicted by case studies. Examples of genera being divided are Galaxaura, Liagora and Laurencia. Tricleocarpa and Dichotomaria have been segregated from Galaxaura. Trichogloeopsis, Ganonema, Izziella, Yamadaella, and Titanophycus have been segregated from Liagora. Chondrophycus, Osmundea, Palisada, and Yuzurura have been segregated from Laurencia. Examples are given of other genera present in this region of the western Atlantic that have been split up. Many genera have increased in terms of the number of species now assigned to them. Taylor's (1960) treatment recognized only two species in Hypoglossum, whereas Wynne's (2011) checklist contained a total of 9 species of Hypoglossum. Taylor's account included only two species of Botryocladia, but this number had grown to 15 in Wynne's checklist. Examples of new genera and species occurring in the region of the western Atlantic are given, and examples of taxa being newly reported for this domain are provided. An increase in the number of phycologists in Latin and South America, exploration of previously unexplored regions, and the increasing use of SCUBA for collecting and at greater depths have all contributed to the increase in the number of algal taxa that are now recognized as occurring in the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic.

본 연구에서는 유자의 미성숙 배로부터 캘러스 유도와 재분화 및 발생단게별 미세구조적 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 유자에서는 배양 5-6주 경에 담황색의 캘러스가 유도되었으며, 배양 6주경의 캘러스 세포에서는 인접하고 있는 작은 액포들이 융합하여 큰 액포를 형성하는 융합현상을 관찰하였다. 배양 12주 경에는 배발생 캘러스의 미분화 세포에서 특이하게 구형의 핵인을 가지고 있는 큰핵과 녹말로 가득차 있는 녹말체를 다수 관찰하였다. 배양 14-16주 경의 배발생 캘러스 세포에서는 활발하게 exocytosis가 일어나므로서 다수의 분배체들이 세포벽쪽에서 관찰되었으며 세포질로부터 작은 입자들이 세포 간극으로 빠져나가는 것을 볼수 있었다. 또한 배양 24주경의 배발생 캘러스에서는 발달된 커다란 구형의 엽록체들이 이중막으로 세포질과 경계되어 있었으며 기질중에 일정하게 전형적인 그라나가 분포되어 있었다. 배양 26주경의 어린 정상 식물체의 미성숙잎에서는 다수의 도관과 반세포들이 관찰되었다. 배양 30주경의 정상식물체의 미성숙잎에는 다수의 작은 반세포들과 사관 그리고 중심액포들이 나타났으며 또한 작은 제2차 액포들이 커다란 중심 액포 속으로 끼어들어가는 현상을 볼 수 있었으며 원형질막 근처에는 신장된 엽록체들이 분포되어 있었다.
