Urediniospore
Urediniospores (or uredospores) are thin-walled spores produced by the uredium, a stage in the life-cycle of rusts.
Development
Urediniospores develop in the uredium, generally on a leaf's under surface.
Morphology
- Urediniospores usually have two dikaryote nuclei within one cell. In mass they are usually pale brown in contrast to teliospores which are generally dark brown.

gollark: But the concept of using that sort of thing for actual real-time chat *is* rather cool.
