A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The formation of spores derived from the products of mitosis. Examples of this process are found in Bacterial species. The biological process by which new individuals are produced by either a single cell or a group of cells, in the absence of any sexual process. The process by which oidia, a type of asexual spore found in fungi, are formed. Oidia are borne a few at a time on very simple hyphae that protrude a short distance into the substrate, and are usually presumed not to constitute the main reproductive strategy of the fungus. Formation of asexual, nonmotile spores in fungi, by conversion of hyphal elements or arising from specialized sporogenous cells. The process that leads to the development of an oomycete sporangium, a single-celled or many-celled structure that germinates directly to form an infection hypha or differentiates, through specialized cleavage vesicles, into between 10 and 30 zoospores, which are laterally flagellated. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form an asexual spore wall, the specialized envelope lying outside the cell membrane of a spore derived from a product of mitosis. Examples of this process are found in Bacterial species. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of spore formation from the products of mitosis. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a spore over time, from its initiation to the mature structure. A spore is a structure that can be used for dissemination, for survival of adverse conditions because of its heat and dessication resistance, and/or for reproduction. The formation of a multicellular or syncytial spore via septations derived from mitosis. The formation of a cellular spore derived from the products of mitosis. A cellular spore is a cell form that can be used for dissemination, for survival of adverse conditions because of its heat and dessication resistance, and/or for reproduction. The production by an organism of new individuals that contain some portion of their genetic material inherited from that organism.
