Abstract
This volume is devoted to the red algae (Rhodophyta) in the genomic age. There has been a demand, with the advance in the biotechnological methods and genomic sequences, for compiling current studies of the rhodophytes. The fundamental books on red algal biology were spaced out with 17 years between each: first Kylin in 1956, then Dixon in 1973, Cole and Sheath in 1990, and now this current book (2007/09), 17–19 years later. Again, it seems like a life cycle of approximately 17 years: just an interesting observation.
