Sex-related osmotic adjustment strategies underpin desiccation tolerance in the intertidal seaweed Neoporphyra haitanensis.

Desiccation stress constitutes a significant environmental challenge for macroalgae inhabiting the intertidal zone, in which recurrent tidal cycles shape their physiological tolerance. However, sex-related responses to desiccation in macroalgae remain largely unexplored. In this study, we integrated physiological measu...
