Calycina conorum
Yannick Mourgues, 01-02-2008 23:49
Yannick MourguesBonsoir.

J'ai observé que Calycina conorum rougissait fortement à la blessure. Est-ce que l'un d'entre vous saurait pourquoi ? Quelle est la réaction chimique responsable de cela ?

I have watched that Calycina conorum becomes strongly reddening when hurted. Do you know why ? What is the chemical process ?

Merci par avance.
Yannick

Re:Calycina conorum
Hi Yannick

I thint this is oxidation of VBs i paraphyses, marginal- & excipulum cells.

Re:Calycina conorum
Yes, it is a wide-spread property in Helotiales and always the result of oxidation of refractive vacuoles. Typical of Lachnum, Bryoscyphus, some of Calycina etc. I think it has to do with benzol rings in which the double bindings change through oxidation and therefore get coloured. It is always a lethal process so that redbrown paraphysis or hair cells are never coloured as long as they are alive.

We have so important vital characters like VBs and we know so little about thier chemical background. It would be an interesting field of research for chemistry.
