androsporangium

Definitions

A sporangium for androspores.

Examples

“The androsporangia produce⟳ the androspores which are special kinds of zoospores and give⟳ rise⟳ to the “dwarf males” as in Œdogonium.”

“The androsporangium is usually produced in the neighbourhood of an oogonium and becomes the mother-cell of a motile ciliated spore known as an androspore, intermediate in size between an antherozoid and a zoogonidium.”

“The androsporangia are formed in a series by the repeated transverse division of any vegetative cell of a large filament. The contents of each androsporangium are metamorphosed into a single androspore.”
