Definition of spored in English English dictionary

spore
A reproductive particle, usually a single cell, released by a fungus, alga, or plant that may germinate into another
spore
To produce spores
spore
A microorganism used to generate a new individual
spore
In plants, a reproductive cell that is capable of developing into a multicellular adult without fusion with another cell; spores are usually formed as the products of meiosis In land plants the spore is covered by a hard shell
spore
A thick resistant particle produced by a bacterium or protist to survive in harsh or unfavorable conditions
spore
A one-celled reproductive body produced by relatively primitive plants
spore
A general term for small (often MICROSCOPIC) reproductive units consisting of one or a few CELLS Ferns and bacteria , for example, produce spores
spore
A differentiated, specialized form that can be used for dissemination, for survival of adverse conditions because of its heat and dessication resistance, and/or for reproduction Spores are usually unicellular and may develop into vegetative organisms or gametes They may be produced asexually or sexually and are of many types (See 573)
spore
A form taken by certain microbes that enables them to exist in a dormant stage It is an asexual reproductive cell See Asexual reproduction, Dormant
spore
See Spore formation, belw
spore
The reproductive body of an organism which is capable of giving rise to a new organism either directly or indirectly A viable (able to live and grow) body regarded as the resting stage of an organism A spore is usually more resistant to disinfectants and heat than most organisms
spore
an early, latent reproductive stage of plants, fungi and some microorganisms
spore
An embryo sac or embryonal vesicle in the ovules of flowering plants
spore
Particular form of certain microbes that allows the organisms to survive in a dormant stage until conditions improve at which time the spores can germinate and the life cycle resumes
spore
A minute grain or germ; a small, round or ovoid body, formed in certain organisms, and by germination giving rise to a new organism; as, the reproductive spores of bacteria, etc
spore
Spores aren't seeds, but they serve much the same purpose There are two sorts of spores you may need to know about (1) Spores are the microscopic seed-like structures of fungi, which are easily carried away by wind, water, insects, and animals Morels, Boletes, and other mushrooms are all fungi, but there are some fungal species that cause disease in plants (like powdery mildew and rot) (2) On the underside of fern fronds, spores are found in spore cases Fern spores also serve as a sort of seed, carrying in them genetic material that can germinate and grow into another plant
spore
Released by fungi for reproduction; equivalent to a seed, but simpler
spore
A simple reproductive cell that is capable of producing a new plant
spore
a small usually single-celled reproductive body produced by many plants and some protozoans and that develops into a new individual; "a sexual spore is formed after the fusion of gametes"
spore
Reproductive cell that grows directly into a new plant
spore
The resting stage of a fungus capable of propagation Fall is a great time to rid your yard of spores One of the most important aspects of organic gardening is cleanliness All leaves and debris from the spring and summer should be cleaned up and properly composted
spore
One of the minute grains in flowerless plants, which are analogous to seeds, as serving to reproduce the species
spore
Spores are cells produced by bacteria and fungi which can develop into new bacteria or fungi. a cell like a seed that is produced by some plants such as mushrooms and can develop into a new plant (spora, from , , from speirein ). Reproductive cell capable of developing into a new individual without fusing with another reproductive cell. Spores thus differ from gametes, which must fuse in pairs in order to create a new individual. Spores are agents of nonsexual reproduction; gametes are agents of sexual reproduction. Spores are produced by bacteria, fungi (see fungus), and green plants. Bacterial spores serve largely as a resting, or dormant, stage in the life cycle, preserving the bacterium through periods of unfavorable conditions. Many bacterial spores are highly durable and can germinate even after years of dormancy. Fungal spores serve a function similar to that of seeds in plants; they germinate and grow into new individuals under suitable conditions of moisture, temperature, and food availability. Among green plants (all of which have a life cycle characterized by alternation of generations), spores are the reproductive agents of the nonsexual generation (sporophyte), giving rise to the sexual generation (gametophyte)
spore
The reproductive product of a sporangium which germinates to form a gametophyte
spore
reproductive 'dust-like' cells in ferns
spore
A reproductive structure, formed without the union of sexual cells, which can give rise to a new organism Fungi, algae and many other organisms produce spores rather than seeds
spore
the reproductive unit of primitive plants
spore
An asexual, usually single celled, reproductive body of plants such as fungi, mosses or ferns; a microorganism, as a bacterium, in a resting or dormant state (FM3-4)
spore
Molds reproduce by means of spores Spores are microscopic; they vary in shape and size (2-100 micrometers) Spores may travel in several ways-they may be passively moved (by a breeze or waterdrop), mechanically disturbed (by a person or animal passing by), or actively discharged by the mold (usually under moist conditions or high humidity)
spore
{i} reproductive body of many plants and micro-organisms; germ cell
spore
The part of mold that reproduces and causes the mold to spread It is the mold's version of a seed
spore
A general name for a reproductive structure in plants not bearing seeds, e g , algae and fungi
spore
Molds reproduce by means of spores Spores are microscopic; they vary in shape and size (2-100 micrometers) Spores may travel in several waysthey may be passively moved (by a breeze or waterdrop), mechanically disturbed (by a person or animal passing by), or actively discharged by the mold (usually under moist conditions or high humidity)
spore
One of the parts formed by fission in certain Protozoa
spore
The seedlike reproductive unit of a fungus, usually of microscopic size
