“…Intervein cells on the dorsal and ventral wing surfaces adhere tightly to each other, die at the completion of metamorphosis, and form most of the surface of the wing blade. Wing veins are interesting targets for comparative study (Stark et al 1999 ;de Celis and DiazBenjumea 2003 ;Shimmi et al 2014 ). Vein patterns vary at multiple taxonomic levels, including between closely related species and between orders, and different hypotheses about wing vein homology lead to different conclusions about phylogenetic relationships (e.g., Hamilton 1972 ;Riek and Kukalová-Peck 1984 ).…”

“…The proximal and distal costal sections, which are both referred to as costa by entomologists (Stark et al 1999), are in fact innervated by different marginal nerves (Palka et al 1979;Murray 1984) and are quite different morphologically. Are they regulated by the same set of genes during formation of the anterior margin?…”

“…Traditional Drosophila geneticists tend to take the distal costal section as part of L1 (Garcia-Bellido and de Celis 1992). However, entomologists suggest that this is a mistake (Stark et al 1999), In the opinion of entomologists, L1 should be the vein running from the origin of the radius to the very beginning of 2nd costal section, and 2nd costal section should be taken as part of the costa. de Celis (2003) obviously took this opinion, and redefined L1 as an incomplete vein which does not reach the wing margin.…”

The costae presenting in high-temperature-induced vestigial wings of Drosophila: implications for anterior wing margin formation

It has long been noted that high temperature produces great variation in wing forms of the vestigial mutant of Drosophila. Most of the wings have defects in the wing blade and partially formed wing margin, which are the result of autonomous cell death in the presumptive wing blade or costal region of the wing disc. The vestigial gene (vg) and the interaction of Vg protein with other gene products are well understood. With this biochemical knowledge, reinvestigations of the high-temperature-induced vestigial wings and the elucidation of the molecular mechanism underlying the large-scale variation of the wing forms may provide insight into further understanding of development of the wing of Drosophila. As a first step of such explorations, I examined high-temperature-induced (29 degrees C) vestigial wings. In the first part of this paper, I provide evidences to show that the proximal and distal costae in these wings exhibit regular and continuous variation, which suggests different developmental processes for the proximal and distal costal sections. Judging by the costae presenting in the anterior wing margin, I propose that the proximal and distal costal sections are independent growth units. The genes that regulate formation of the distal costal section also strongly affect proliferation of cells nearby; however, the same phenomenon has not been found in the proximal costal section. The distal costal section seems to be an extension of the radius vein. vestigial, one of the most intensely researched temperature-sensitive mutations, is a good candidate for the study of marginal vein formation. In the second part of the paper, I regroup the wing forms of these wings, chiefly by comparison of venation among these wings, and try to elucidate the variation of the wing forms according to the results of previous work and the conclusions reached in the first part of this paper, and provide clues for further researches.

“…Irregular networks of crossveins, termed archedictyon, provide strong support for their power flight. One of the most derived groups, the cyclorrhaphan Diptera represented by D. melanogaster, generally has two crossveins (figure 1j): the anterior (radial-medial) crossvein (ACV) and the posterior (medial-cubital) crossvein (PCV), and the PCV is lost in some species group [26,27].…”

Insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying diversified wing venation among insects

Insect wings are great resources for studying morphological diversities in nature as well as in fossil records. Among them, variation in wing venation is one of the most characteristic features of insect species. Venation is therefore, undeniably a key factor of species-specific functional traits of the wings; however, the mechanism underlying wing vein formation among insects largely remains unexplored. Our knowledge of the genetic basis of wing development is solely restricted to Drosophila melanogaster. A critical step in wing vein development in Drosophila is the activation of the decapentaplegic (Dpp)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling pathway during pupal stages. A key mechanism is the directional transport of Dpp from the longitudinal veins into the posterior crossvein by BMP-binding proteins, resulting in redistribution of Dpp that reflects wing vein patterns. Recent works on the sawfly Athalia rosae, of the order Hymenoptera, also suggested that the Dpp transport system is required to specify fore-and hindwing vein patterns. Given that Dpp redistribution via transport is likely to be a key mechanism for establishing wing vein patterns, this raises the interesting possibility that distinct wing vein patterns are generated, based on where Dpp is transported. Experimental evidence in Drosophila suggests that the direction of Dpp transport is regulated by prepatterned positional information. These observations lead to the postulation that Dpp generates diversified insect wing vein patterns through species-specific positional information of its directional transport. Extension of these observations in some winged insects will provide further insights into the mechanisms underlying diversified wing venation among insects.
