pests. Therefore, patterns of differential gene expression will be assessed and will
allow identification of major defense-responsive genes whose expression varies in a
population-dependent manner. This will link population genetic variation in stress
responses with identification of traits under possible selective pressure. The future
for these integrated studies includes molecular genetics, microarrays, proteomics,
RNAi assays, and knockouts on a limited amount of marine model algae, combined
with a quantitative organismal approach.

This chapter is dedicated to the memories of Pr. Jean-Yves Floc'h
(1940-2010) and Dr Jean-Pierre Salaun (1945-2011) wonderful mentors and friends who taught
P. Potin so much about the biology and physiology of algae and the biochemistry of algal defenses,
respectively. Research on epiphytism by the Potin group and collaborators has been supported by
the European Commission INCO-DEV Programme (contribution of the joint research effort
INCO-EPIFIGHT ICA4-CT-2001-10021). This study also constitutes a contribution from the
Laboratoire International Associ

(LIA), Dispersal and Adaptation in Marine Species.
