Ultrastructure of Digestive Canal of Aelia rostrata (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

Abstract

Aelia rostrata (Fabricius, 1803) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has a piercing mouthpiece type that is supplied with a plant sap-absorbing nose type. Aelia rostrata mainly consumes wheat but also nourishes wild Gramineae species, making it an important pest known as the wheat stink bug. In this study, A. rostrata samples were collected in August-October 2014 from various fields of agricultural and wild plants in and around the Bala district of Ankara province. Then the structure of the insect digestive canal was investigated using a light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the digestive canal of A. rostrata consists of three distinct regions: foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The foregut consists of the salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, and proventriculus. The midgut has an anterior, median (canal structure of the midgut), and posterior midgut (bulb structure of the midgut). Hindgut has the ileum and rectum. There are Malpighian and gastric caeca depending on the ileum. In the foregut, salivary glands and stomach are composed of cylindrical epithelium, have cylindrical epithelium while the accessory salivary gland and the midgut canal are formed from cuboidal epithelium and also the proventriculus is made from pseudo-stratified epithelium. In the midgut, the cylindrical channel of the midgut causes the cubic epithelium, while the "bulb" causes squamous epithelium. In the hindgut, the ileum occurs as cylindrical epitheliums, and the rectum consists of cubic-cylindrical epithelium. This study will contribute greatly to the scientific world of studies on the digestive tract structure of insects.-
