Apospory is the development of gametophyte from a cell of the sporophyte without the intervention of spore. The structure taking part in apospory may be single cell of gametophytic nature, a rhizoid or a gametophyte bearing sex organ or of sporophytic in nature.
Apogamy is a type of plant reproduction in which sporophyte (diploid phase) is produced from the gametophyte (haploid phase) without fertilization. It occurs in some type of ferns.
