A special apparatus for dispersing spores, which can be morphologically divided into three types. (1) A long, thin cell found among spores in the sporangia of mosses, which is formed when some of the archesporial cells in the sporangia do not develop into spores. (2) Two string-like attachments found in spores of the genus Equisetum, which are formed when the outer membrane of the spore peels off and thickens, and appear to be four because they are attached at the center of each. Both (1) and (2) are highly hygroscopic, and have the property of stretching when dry and curling when wet. (3) Non-protoplasmic hairs found in true slime molds, which are sometimes called elytra, are used to disperse spores.

胞子を散布するための特別な装置をいい、形態学的に3種類に区別される。(1)苔類(たいるい)の胞子嚢(のう)中に胞子に混じってみられる細長い細胞で、胞子嚢中の胞原細胞の一部が胞子にならなかったものである。(2)トクサ属の胞子にみられる2本の紐(ひも)状の付着物で、これは胞子の外膜がはがれて厚膜化したものであり、各中央部で付着しているため4本にみえる。(1)(2)とも吸湿性に富み、乾燥すると伸び、湿ると巻く性質がある。(3)真正変形菌類にみられる非原形質性の細毛体を弾糸とよぶことがあり、胞子散布の働きをもつ。 [安田啓祐] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
