Abstrakt: | The midgut epithelium of Nicoletia phytophila is composed of columnar digestive cells and regenerative cells that form regenerative nests. The cytoplasm of midgut epithelial cells shows typical regionalization in organelle distribution. Two types of regenerative cells havebeen distinguished: cells which are able to divide intensively and cells which differentiate. Spot desmosomes have been observed between neighboring regenerative cells. The occurrence of intercellular junctions is discussed. Themidgut epitheliumdegenerates both in an apoptotic and necrotic way. Necrosis proceeds during each molting period (cyclic manner), while apoptosis occurs between each molting, when the midgut epithelium is responsible for e.g. digestion. These processes of epithelium degeneration are described at the ultrastructural level. Our studies not only add new information about fine structure of the midgut epithelium of N. phytophila, but contribute to resolving the relationships within the Zygentoma. There are no doubts about the very close sister position of Nicoletiidae and Ateluridae. The midgut epithelium characters confirm their close relationship. However we do not recommend classifying the atelurid genera only within Nicoletiidae: Nicoletiinae. |
