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: I might be forced to rotate 800 trillion bees, as a result.
gollark: Well, actually, my power is given by P = E/t, as previously stated, and there is a limited amount of usable energy in the universe.
gollark: Did you know? Electrostatic force = 1/4πε_0 \* Q_1 \* Q_2 \* 1/r².
gollark: I agree.
gollark: Did you know? Power = force * velocity = energy / time.
