What's the difference between heterosporous and oophoridium?
Heterosporous
Definition:
(a.) Producing two kinds of spores unlike each other.
Example Sentences:
(1) Axonemes from the heterosporous water fern Marsilea vestita were fixed in the presence of tannic acid and examined by thin-section electron microscopy.
(2) Cytochemical methods are used to examine the distribution and localization of acid phosphatase, non-specific esterase, ribonuclease and peroxidase activity in the walls of the spores of the heterosporous Marsileaceae before and during germination.
(3) The natural ecology of a heterosporous microsporidium, Amblyospora connecticus was investigated at three different salt marsh habitats during 1986-1989.
(4) This situation contrasts with the one described for another heterosporous haploid dioecious pteridophyte, Marsilea vestita, where nucleocytoplasmic interaction has been interpreted as the de novo creation of plastids and mitochondria following the elimination by autophagy of the organelles inherited at meiosis.
(5) This species was found to be heterosporous with two concurrent sporulation sequences in the host larvae, both arising from diplokaryotic meronts and ending with haploid spores.
(6) A new species, Amblyospora trinus, is proposed and its affinities to other heterosporous microsporidia in mosquitoes are discussed.
(7) A microsporidium of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (L.), identified as Nosema aedis Kudo, 1930, was found to be a heterosporous species with 3 sporulation sequences.
Oophoridium
Definition:
(n.) The macrosporangium or case for the larger kind of spores in heterosporous flowerless plants.
