Louis René Étienne Tulasne, a.k.a. Edmond Tulasne (September 12, 1815 - December 22, 1885) was a French botanist and mycologist born in Azay-le-Rideau. He originally studied law at Poitiers, but his interest later turned to botany. As a young man he assisted botanist Auguste de Saint-Hilaire (1779–1853) with studies of Brazilian flora. From 1842 until 1872 he worked as a naturalist at the ''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle'' in Paris. In 1854 he succeeded Adrien de Jussieu (1797-1853) as a member of the ''Académie des sciences''. He died in Hyères on 22 December 1885, aged 70. Tulasne's specialized study was the science of mycology. His microscopic investigation of fungi, particularly parasitic species, contributed much to the understanding on the complexities of their nature and development. He is credited with introducing the concept of "pleomorphy" in regard to fungi.〔(Biography and Photo; Louis René Tulasne ) Mushroom the Journal〕 Pleomorphy states that an individual fungus, growing in different substrates can have dramatically different forms. In 1853 he introduced his views on the reproduction cycle of ''Claviceps purpurea'' (ergot).〔(Quarterly journal of microscopical science, Volume 5 by Daniel and Eleanor Albert Collection )〕 A number of mycological species, as well as the genera ''Tulasneinia'' and ''Tulasnella'' (family Tulasnellaceae) are named after him. He is credited with providing classification taxa for the following genera: ''Crucibulum'', ''Glomus'', ''Sebacina'', ''Terfezia'', ''Tilletia'' and ''Hypomyces'' (the latter with Elias Magnus Fries).〔 He also produced some important works on flowering plants. For example, in 1855, he published two papers on the magnoliid family Monimiaceae,〔Lisa DeCesare. 2006. "Tulasne Brothers Exhibit" ''Newsletter of the friends of the Farlow'' 47(spring 2006):6-7.

''Archives du Museum d'Histoire Naturelle'' (Paris) 8:273-436.(See External links below).〕 Tulasne published over 50 scientific articles during his career. Some of his best work was done in collaboration with his brother, Charles Tulasne (1816–1884), such as ''Fungi hypogaei'' (1851) and the three-volume ''Selecta fungorum carpologia'' (1861–65). The latter work is known for its superb detailed illustrations, being created by Charles Tulasne.〔 Many of his works were published under the Latinized name "Ludovicus-Renatus". == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmond Tulasne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
