Induction of Phlorotannins and Gene Expression in the Brown Macroalga <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> in Response to the Herbivore <i>Littorina littorea</i>

Mechanisms related to the induction of phlorotannin biosynthesis in marine brown algae remain poorly known. Several studies undertaken on fucoid species have shown that phlorotannins accumulate in the algae for several days or weeks after being exposed to grazing, and this is measured by direct quan...
