0 the part of a plant, especially a fungus, that produces spores (= cells from which new plants grow) --
The outer margins of the sporangia of this specimen are more strongly convex than in the other examples.
Consequently, the experimental design may have led to a unique flash of parasites, while a continuous release of parasite sporangia may occur under natural conditions.
All exhibit open sporangia, and a few spores lying against sporangial walls were observed in light microscopy.
Some of the sporangia have dehisced, whereas others remain entire, and none contain spores.
Spores are not present in any of the sporangia.
Dispersed examples occur in the resin outside the sporangium wall.
Numerous spheres also occur on and between spores and on the inner surface of the sporangium wall.
The fungus was generally distributed throughout the lock in the form of spores, sporangia and short hyphae.
