Sea grapes, known as the "green caviar" of the ocean, are marine green algae that not only possess rich nutritional value but also have unique biological characteristics due to their natural selection and evolution in the coastal reefs over millions of years. These characteristics make sea grapes rich in natural bioactive components such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, and unsaturated fatty acids, which have significant effects on eliminating free radicals, reducing oxidative stress damage, enhancing immunity, and inhibiting inflammation. Therefore, sea grapes are not only regarded as a delicious food but also attract much attention due to their potential biomedical value. Through targeted genetic research and the use of genetic sequencing technology, key genes related to the yield, quality, and function of natural active substances in sea grapes will be deeply explored. These studies will provide scientific guidance and theoretical basis for the subsequent industrial development of sea grapes, helping to accelerate their industrialization process.
