ROW: Development of Molecular Genetics Techniques for Marine Microalgae

女性研究机会奖将用于发展分子技术，研究海洋微藻菌株和物种的进化关系。已经开发了类似的方法并成功地用于高等植物，但它们并不容易适应海洋藻类。成功的适应将极大地促进对这些有机物质的进化研究，这些有机物质在海洋生产力和食物链中至关重要。

This Research Opportunities for Women award will be used for the development of molecular techniques to study the evolutionary relationships of strains and species of marine microalgae. Similar methodologies have been developed and successfully used for the higher plants but they have not been readily adapted to the marine algae. Successful adaptations will greatly facilitate evolutionary investigations on these organims which are of utmost importance inmarine productivity and food chains.
