  1. (botany) A combination of biopolymers, observed in the exine layer of the spore and pollen wall.
  2. Examples:

      “Palynomorphs may be composed of organic material such as chitin, pseudochitin and sporopollenin.”
      “After the dissolution of the callose wall, the sporopollenin wall begins to form.”
sporophorocyst
  1. A vesicle, in microsporidians, that contain sporoblasts and spores
sporozoite
  1. (cytology) Any of the minute active bodies into which a sporozoan divides just before it infects a new host cell.
  2. Examples:
    1. “Maturation of the oocysts leads to sporozoite release into the hemocoel.”
      “The sporoplasm, representing the sporozoite, is always single.”
      “Sanaria's mission is to develop and commercialize live, whole sporozoite vaccines against malaria.”
sporinite
  1. An exinite maceral found in coal formed from spores and pollen.
sporophore
  1. A spore-producing organ, especially a fungus hypha specialized to carry spores.
  2. Examples:
    1. “The part of a fungus that is generally visible is the fruiting body, or sporophore.”
      “Most of basidiomycetes are characterized by the large sporophore on which the basidia with its basidiospores are borne.”
      “As compared to the population from xerothermic grasslands, the forest plants are on average 4 cm larger, and the higher the plant, the more exposed is the sporophore.”
sporocyte
  1. A cell that produces haploid spores during meiosis
sporogony
  1. The formation of sporozoites from spores or zygotes.
  2. Examples:
    1. “Africa, as is widely known, is a generally hot continent, and so is particularly susceptible to more rapid sporogony.”
      “Sporozoites, the product of sporogony, migrate to the salivary glands and are injected into the bloodstream when a mosquito bites a person.”
      “The enveloped sporogony is endogenous in spore sacs of sporont origin, daughter cells are formed by vacuolation.”
sporocarp
  1. (mycology) The structure on a fungus which houses the spore-producing organs.
  2. Synonyms:
  3. Examples:
    1. “One of these threads reaches and fertilizes a cell at the apex of the nucleus or solid body of the sporocarp.”
      “In each treatment plot, mycorrhizal production was assessed by measuring sporocarp, root tip colonization, and extramatrical hyphal production.”
      “Each embryo germinates and pushes itself out of the sporocarp to form a plantlet, the sporophyte, that floats to the water surface.”
sporomorph
