Kelps are founding species of temperate marine ecosystems, they evolve in the intertidal coastal areas where they are often challenged by herbivores. As most of sessile organisms, kelps develop defensive strategies against herbivory. In the kelp Laminaria digitata, elicitation by oligoguluronates in...
