Morphological changes of Sertoli cells during the male reproductive cycle of the teleost Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887)

Realizou-se uma investigação das mudanças histológicas e ultra-estruturais das células de Sertoli durante o ciclo reprodutivo de machos de Piaractus mesopotamicus. Os resultados mostraram que o desenvolvimento das células de Sertoli está estritamente relacionado à maturação das células gaméticas. Portanto, as células de Sertoli têm algum papel na maturação das células germinativas durante o ciclo reprodutivo dessa espécie, talvez formando um tecido de sustentação para os cistos espermatogênicos em desenvolvimento, ajudando a reorganização testicular para um novo ciclo reprodutivo, além de outras possíveis funções discutidas no texto.

Rhyncophorus palmarum L. (Linnaeus, 1758): A Morphological and Histological Study of the Female Reproductive System

Rhyncophorus palmarum (Coleoptera) is a pest of great economic importance because of the damage caused in the plants of the Palmae family. This study showed that the female reproductive system of this beetle is composed of two ovaries of the telotrophic meroistic type invariably containing two ovarioles per ovary. Each ovariole is home to about 50 oocytes at different stages of maturation. The proximal region of the ovary is rather peculiar because it houses inside it a large quantity of bacilliform structures immersed in a glycolipoprotein substance, which has never before been described in the literature. The function of these structures is still unknown. However, it is suggested that they can function as a method of neutralizing the resistance of the plant because these insects are responsible for the transmission of the red ring disease to the palm plants.
