碩士 / 崑山科技大學 / 機械工程研究所 / 97 / Programmed cell death (PCD) involves a series of biochemical events leading to a characteristic cell morphology and death. Though resulting in death, PCD, often produces advantageous effects to the community the cells belong to. This paper presents a study on PCD examples occurring on coralline algae, which are significant in ecology for their role as reef builder. It is believed that PCD of coralline algae can be induced by nearby coral or other algae and leads to bleaching of coralline algae in patches.
A way to induce PCD may be through interspecific interaction, more specifically, induced by allelopathic chemicals designed to ward off competitors for the same space. Ocean acidification caused by emission of carbon dioxide is particularly detrimental to calcifying organisms. As a result, invasion of completing algae is becoming more serious. This study of programmed cell death on coralline algae wishes to produce useful information for the protection of marine calcifying organisms.
