gonimoblastn.

1898 H. C. Porter tr. E. Strasburger et al. Text-bk. Bot. 337 The fertilised egg does not become converted directly into an oospore, but, as a result of fertilisation, numerous branching filaments termed gonimoblasts grow out from the sides of the ventral portion of the carpogonium.

1945 F. E. Fritsch Struct. & Reprod. Algae II. 413 In most Florideae, however, the gonimoblasts do not arise directly from the zygote.

1945 F. E. Fritsch Struct. & Reprod. Algae II. 599 In the life-cycle of Nemalionales the zygote constitutes the only diploid stage, while there are two haploid phases, the ordinary seaweed and the gonimoblast-threads originating from the zygote.
