Sentences with OOSPORE (2)
The oospore on germination usually gives origin to a zoosporangium, but may form directly a germ tube which infects the host.
The oosperm, zygote or fertilised egg, thus formed invests itself with a dense cyst-wall, as a "oospore" (_k_), its contents form one or more (2, 4, 8, etc.) spores; and each spore forms again one, two, or four sickle-shaped zoospores ("sporozoites"), destined to be liberated for a fresh cycle of parasitic life when the spores are swallowed by another host.
