Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The conchocelis phase is diploid. Under specific conditions of light intensity and quality, day-length and temperature stimulate the production of gametes. These filaments form swollen branches ("conchosporangia") in which the cells develop the plastid features of blade-phase cells (stellate plastids with conspicuous pyrenoid). These branches protrude from the substrate and eventually release their contents as individual cells ("conchospores"). 4, record 2, English, - conchocelis%20stage

Le stade conchocelis est diploïde. Sous des conditions spécifiques d'intensité et de qualité de lumière, la longueur et la température du jour stimulent la production des gamètes. Ces filaments forment les branches gonflées [(«conchosporanges»)] dans lesquelles les cellules développent les caractéristiques plastidiales des cellules du stade lame (plastides étoilées avec le pyrénoïde visible). Ces branches s'éloignent du substrat et libèrent, par la suite, leur contenu sous formes de cellules individuelles («conchospores»). 3, record 2, French, - stade%20conchocelis

Cultivation of [seaweeds(Porphyra species) ] still faces several difficulties due to the complex heteromorphic life cycle that is currently not fully understood... The sexual life cycle... alternates between the bladed gametophyte and the microscopic sporophyte(conchocelis) and is the major reproduction pathway for species in the North Eastern Atlantic... 1, record 3, English, - conchocelis

Le mode de reproduction sexuée du nori [du genre Porphyra] implique l'alternance de deux générations : une phase haploïde macroscopique (le gamétophyte, annuel) qui est la fronde foliacée et une phase diploïde microscopique (le sporophyte) appelée conchocelis. Ce dernier a la forme d'un filament qui, à maturité, émet des conchosphores qui se développent à leur tour en une nouvelle fronde (gamétophyte). 1, record 3, French, - conchocelis
