plant spore stage

[planteome-user]

I suggest we add plant spore stage as a subtype of gametophyte development stage. It is analogous to plant zygote stage.

proposed definition, plant spore stage: A gametophyte development stage that occurs during the interval between meiosis and the germination (first cell division) of a spore.

comment: Includes the stage when a megaspore is present before it develops into a megagametophyte or embryo sac and the stage when a microspore is present before it develops into a microgametophyte or pollen.

At the POC meeting, we agreed to add this term, with minor modifications:

plant spore development stage: A gametophyte development stage that occurs during the interval between meiosis and the germination of a spore.
Comment: Includes the stage when a megaspore is present before it develops into a megagametophyte or embryo sac and the stage when a microspore is present before it develops into a microgametophyte or pollen. There may be cell division in a spore before it germinates.
