r ed Algae in Genome Age book most people reading this book have
childhood memories about being enthralled at the beach with those
rare and mysterious living forms we knew as seaweeds. We were
fascinated at that time by their range of red hues and textures,
and most of all, their exotic beauty. t o a scientist, red algae
represent much more than apparent features. t heir complex forms
have attracted morphologists for centuries; their intricate life
cycles have brought more than one surprise to plant biologists
familiar only with ferns and fowering plants; their unusual tastes
have been appreciated for mill- nia, and their valuable chemical
constituents have been exploited for nearly as long, most recently
by biotech companies; their diversity in marine, freshwater, and t-
restrial environments has offered centuries of engaging
entertainment for botanists eager to arrange them in orderly
classifcation systems; still, the red algae continue to teach us
how many more challenges need to be overcome in order to understand
their biodiversity, biological functions, and evolutionary
histories.
