Map kinases mediate the response of arctic macroalgae to temperature and uv radiation stress
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a group of cytoplasmic phosphoproteins that constitute the central core of the signalling network to respond to stress in most organisms. Their role in stress response in micro- and macroalgae is being studied by our research group in the recent years. I...
