Heterospory: Production of two types of spores - microspores and megaspores
Heterospory is the production of two distinct types of spores by plants: microspores (male) and megaspores (female).
Microspores
Smaller spores that develop into male gametophytes
Megaspores
Larger spores that develop into female gametophytes
Heterospory is a significant evolutionary step in plants, leading to the development of seeds. It is observed in genera like Selaginella and Salvinia.
