Description
Ulvaria obscura is unique in producing dopamine in response to stressors or as a defense molecule against herbivores. We have examined the structure of vegetative cells within this alga through light and transmission electron microscopy methods to analyze specific subcellular components and their potential roles in dopamine production and release.
