Sporogenesis is the production of spores inbiology. The term is also used to refer to the process of reproduction via spores. Reproductive spores are formed in manyeukaryotic organisms, such as plants,algae and fungi, during their normal reproductive life cycle. Dormant spores are formed, for example by certain fungi and algae, primarily in response to unfavorable growing conditions. Most eukaryotic spores are haploid and form through cell division, though some types are diploid ordikaryons and form through cell fusion.
