  1. not comparableBeing a oospore which lacks an ooplast.

    Expersate oospores lack an ooplast and have one to several oil droplets entirely surrounded by protoplasm. […] Dick (1971) has claimed that all known species of Saprolegniaceae possess an ooplast and that the term expersate is therefore superfluous.
