The invention relates to a method for evaluating the anti-shedding capability of
kelp and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
seawater algae culture, the method comprises the following steps: 1)
sample collection and preparation: collecting
kelp samples, dividing the samples into two groups of samples, and counting the
seedling shedding condition on a culture
seedling rope at the same time; 2)
mechanical property testing: applying a tensile load to a group of samples until the samples are fractured to obtain a stress-strain curve; 3) morphological characteristic detection: after
softening the other group of samples in a low-specific-gravity
seawater culture solution, expanding the
rhizoid into a planar form, and measuring and analyzing the morphological characteristics of the
rhizoid; and 4)
data analysis and model construction: performing
principal component analysis on the mechanical and morphological characteristic parameters, constructing a multiple regression model in combination with the
seedling storage rate of the culture seedling
rope, and calculating the comprehensive
score of the anti-shedding ability of the
kelp. Based on the comprehensive
score, evaluating the anti-shedding capability of leaves of different kelp strains, and providing a theoretical basis for breeding of anti-shedding kelp varieties.
