“…Since the same situation has been observed in other members of the family Delphacidae, i.e. Laodelphax striatellus (NODA 1977) and Nilaparvata lugens (CHENG & HOU 2001) as well as in the leafhopper, Scaphoideus titanus (SACCHI et al 2008), it seems probable that all hemipterans have developed the same mode of transmission of YLSs to the next generation. Thus, the transmission of YLSs in insects is more uniform than the transmission of bacteria (see Introduction).…”

MICHALIK A., JANKOWSKA W., SZKLARZEWICZ T. 2009. Ultrastructure and transovarial transmission of endosymbiotic microorganisms in Conomelus anceps and Metcalfa pruinosa (Insecta, Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha). Folia biol. (Kraków) #%: 131-137. Endosymbiotic microorganisms commonly occur in fulgoromorphans, as in other plant sap-sucking hemipterans. Large syncytial organs termed mycetomes are present in the body cavities of Conomelus anceps (Delphacidae) and Metcalfa pruinosa (Flatidae), in the close vicinity of the ovaries. The mycetomes are surrounded by a one-layered epithelium. The mycetome cytoplasm is filled with yeast-like symbiotic microorganisms (YLSs). The YLSs are transovarially transmitted to the next generation. The endosymbionts are released from the mycetomes and migrate towards the ovarioles containing vitellogenic oocytes. The YLSs pass through the cells of the ovariole stalk (pedicel) and enter the perivitelline space. Then, a deep depression is formed at the posterior pole of the oocyte. The YLSs accumulate in the oocyte depression and form a characteristic symbiont ball. The mycetome cytoplasm of Metcalfa pruinosa as well as epithelial cells surrounding the mycetome contain small, rod-shaped bacteria.

“…cells surrounding oocytes) or may enter the cytoplasm of follicular cells. In contrast to bacterial endosymbionts, the transovarial transmission of YLSs is poorly known, and there are only three published observations on this process (NODA 1977;CHENG & HOU 2001;SACCHI et al 2008), two of which consider members of the family Delphacidae.…”

Symbiotic microorganisms of the leafhopper Deltocephalus pulicaris (Fallén, 1806) (Insecta, Hemiptera, Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae): molecular characterization, ultrastructure and transovarial transmission

ABSTRACT. The ovaries of the leafhopper Deltocephalus pulicaris are accompanied by large organs termed bacteriomes, which are composed of numerous polyploid cells called bacteriocytes. The cytoplasm of bacteriocytes is tightly packed with symbiotic microorganisms. Ultrastructural and molecular analyses have revealed that bacteriocytes of D. pulicaris contain two types of symbionts: the bacterium "Candidatus Sulcia muelleri" and the bacterium "Candidatus Nasuia deltocephalinicola". Both symbionts are transovarially transmitted from the mother to the next generation.

Abstract. The ultrastructure, distribution and transovarial transmission of endosymbiotic bacteria in representatives of six aphid families: Eriosomatidae (Pemphigus spyrothecae, Prociphilus fraxini), Anoeciidae [Anoecia (Anoecia) corni], Drepanosiphidae [Mindarus abietinus, Sipha (Rungsia) maydis, Clethrobius comes, Myzocallis (Lineomyzocallis) walshii], Thelaxidae (Thelaxes dryophila), Aphididae (Delphiniobium junackianum, Aphis viburni, Cavariella theobaldi, Macrosiphoniella tanacetaria) and Lachnidae (Schizolachnus pineti, Eulachnus rileyi) were studied at the ultrastructural level. The ovaries of aphids are accompanied by large organs termed bacteriomes that consist of giant cells termed bacteriocytes. The bacteriocyte cytoplasm is tightly packed with endosymbiotic bacteria. Ultrastructural observations have shown that the bacteria Buchnera aphidicola (primary symbiont of aphids) present in various species are characterized by significant differences in both size and organization of their cytoplasm. In the aphids, Prociphilus fraxini, Sipha (Rungsia) maydis, Thelaxes dryophila, Aphis viburni, Cavariella theobaldi, Macrosiphoniella tanacetaria, Eulachnus rileyi and Schizolachnus pineti, in addition to Buchnera aphidicola, secondary endosymbionts are also present. The bacteriocytes containing secondary endosymbionts are less numerous than those with Buchnera. In Eulachnus rileyi (Lachnidae), in addition to primary and secondary endosymbionts, there is a third type of microorganism. In all species examined both the primary and secondary endosymbionts are transovarially transmitted from mother to offspring.
