| molecular characterization and localization of the obligate endosymbiotic bacterium in the birch catkin bug kleidocerys resedae (heteroptera: lygaeidae, ischnorhynchinae). | in contrast to specific bacterial symbionts of many stinkbugs, which are harboured extracellularly in the lumina of midgut sacs or tubular outgrowths, the obligate endosymbiont of birch catkin bug kleidocerys resedae (heteroptera: lygaeidae) resides in a red-coloured, raspberry-shaped mycetome, localized abdominally, close to the midgut section. phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16s rrna gene and the groel (chaperonin) gene, showed that the bacteria belong to the gamma-subdivision of the prote ... | 2010 | 20500529 |
| evolution of symbiotic organs and endosymbionts in lygaeid stinkbugs. | we investigated seed bugs of the genus nysius (insecta: hemiptera: lygaeidae) for their symbiotic bacteria. from all the samples representing 4 species, 18 populations and 281 individuals, specific bacterial 16s rrna gene sequences were consistently identified, which formed a distinct clade in the gammaproteobacteria. in situ hybridization showed that the bacterium was endocellularly localized in a pair of large bacteriomes that were amorphous in shape, deep red in color, and in association with ... | 2011 | 21814289 |
| ultrastructure of the midgut in heteroptera (hemiptera) with different feeding habits. | heteroptera have diverse feeding habits with phytophagous, zoophagous, and haematophagous species. this dietary diversity associated with the monophyly of heteroptera makes these insects a good object for comparative studies of the digestive tract. this work compares the ultrastructure of the middle midgut region in the phytophagous coptosoma scutellatum (plataspidae), graphosoma lineatum (pentatomidae), kleidocerys resedae (lygaeidae), and zoophagous rhynocoris iracundus (reduviidae), nabis rug ... | 2017 | 28064339 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of the birch catkin bug kleidocerys resedae resedae, as the first representative from the family lygaeidae (hemiptera: heteroptera: lygaeoidea). | kleidocerys resedae resedae (panzer, 1797) (hemiptera: heteroptera: lygaeoidea: lygaeidae: ischnorhynchinae) is one of the destructive insect pests of birch and alder trees in holarctic. here we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of this pest, also representing the first mitochondrial genome of the family lygaeidae. this genome is 14,688 bp long, with an a+t content of 76.0%, containing 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes and a control region. all genes were arranged in the same gene ... | 2016 | 24725058 |
