TI  - Histological observations on transovarial transmission of a yeast-like symbiote 
      in Nilaparvata lugens Stal (Homoptera, Delphacidae).
PG  - 273-9
AB  - Transovarial transmission of a yeast-like symbiote (YLS) in the brown 
      planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stal, was observed with light and electron 
      microscopy. Light micrographs showed that there was no YLS in testes and 
      spermathecae of the mated females, indicating that sperm is not involved in the 
      transovarial transmission of the symbiote. Both light and electron micrographs 
      showed the processes of YLS transmission from fat body to the oocyte. In females, 
      the symbiotes in mycetocytes moved out of the syncytium, which is formed from a 
      layer of fat body cells, by exocytosis, and released into hemocoel. Then, the 
      free YLS in hemolymph approached to the ovarioles near pedicel and were enclosed 
      by follicle cells. They entered the follicle cells around the primary oocyte by 
      endocytosis at epithelial plug of the ovariole. The YLS aggregated at the 
      posterior end of the mature egg after entering, and finally formed a symbiote 
      ball.
