The RT of domestic quail from Italian variety showed mainly an albuginic pattern being represented by tortuous channels lined predominately by a simple cubic epithelium. RT channels extended along the testicular albuginea and penetrates into the epididymal region (ER) through its myoconnective matrix. Passageways were continuous to proximal efferent ducts of the ER. Epithelium lining ultrastructure of RT passageways showed some differences between the spring and the inactive phase at middle fall, concerning the quail testicular reproductive cycle. The features observed in RT epitheliocytes in fall were the low cytoplasmic electrodensity, paucity of supranuclear vesicles, which were abundant and variable in form and shape in spring, and some degenerative aspects of cell organelles mainly in ER lamellae. Moreover, presence of apical cytoplasmic extrusions were verified in the fall. No marked features were seen in the RT ultrastructure during the winter and summer comparatively to the active phase of spring.

The swamp eel, Synbranchus marmoratus, is a freshwater protogynic diandric species. Primary males develop directly as males while secondary males arise from the sex reversal of females. Fishes from Argentine and Brazil inland waters were collected, examined and compared for this study. In order to characterize the interstitial testicular compartment, light and electron microscopy techniques and an enzyme histochemical examination for steroidogenic cells detection were used. The interstitial compartment of S. marmoratus is composed of Leydig and myoid cells, collagen fibers, blood cells, macrophages,and amyelinic nerves. At the ultrastructural level, no differences were observed in the interstitial tissue, either between specimens from the different sampling sites or between primary and secondary males. Leydig cells are present in all testes examined throughout the year. A cytoplasmatic reaction of 3beta-HSD was detected only in Leydig cells during sex reversal and in both type of males, mainly during the regressed and early maturation classes (autumn and winter). Leydig cells possess the typical fine structural characteristics associated with steroidogenesis. Furthermore, in both type of males, during sex reversal and after the spawning period, the number of granulocytes and macrophages present in the testes increased, suggesting that they could be involved in phagocytosis and resorption of damaged cells.

The mature testicular vesicles of the species Pseudonannolene tocaiensis have three portions: a peripheral portion; a central portion that is typically secretory and between these two an intermediary portion, a lumen filled with spermatozoa. Both secretory and peripheral portions present the same type of cells. The ultrastructural analysis of the peripheral portion suggests it is involved in hormone synthesis. The secretory portion probably contributes to the production of spermatic fluid, compensating for the absence of male accessory glands in this species. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An analysis of testicular morphology and spermatogenesis in the Heteroptera species Antileuchus tripterus (Pentatomidae) revealed that these traits differ from that recorded for other species of the same family. The testes of A. tripterus have only six lobes, while other species of the same family typically have seven lobes, including a compound lobe, i.e., a lobe containing another in its lumen. A study of meiosis and sperm structure in the different lobes of A. tripterus revealed a conventional meiosis in the lobes numbered one to three. In lobe four, however, prophase I spermatocytes exhibit the morphological characteristics of the so called diffuse stage and are larger than those in lobes 1-3 in this and the remaining phases of meiosis. Thus, the resulting spermatids are not only larger but also their head is morphologically different. Lobe 5 exhibits characteristies known from other Pentatomidae species such as an uneven distribution of chromatin to the daughter cells, which give rise to cells of different sizes. This lobe forms spermatozoa of different sizes. Lobe 6, contained within lobe 5, differs from it by having larger cells at a stage similar to the so called diffuse and spermatid tails with cross divisions, which are not found in other lobes and unreported in the literature.

A germinação de sementes pode ser influenciada pela passagem através do trato digestório animal, que, nesse caso, poderá atuar como dispersor, dependendo de como as sementes são afetadas. Quando a passagem pelo trato digestório animal não reduz a capacidade germinativa das sementes, o agente dispersor é considerado legítimo. Este trabalho aborda a influência da ingestão de sementes de Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, Cajanus cajan (L.) Huth e Calopogonium mucunoides Desv. por Bos taurus Linnaeus (1758), sobre sua germinação e viabilidade, com o objetivo de avaliar o gado bovino como legítimo agente dispersor dessas espécies utilizadas como forrageiras. Amostras de sementes foram misturadas ao alimento oferecido a três fêmeas de B. taurus, cujas fezes foram recolhidas até 36 horas após a ingestão e submetidas à triagem para recuperação das sementes, as quais foram testadas para germinação e crescimento inicial. Como controle foram usadas sementes intactas não ingeridas. A porcentagem de recuperação de sementes não danificadas variou de 12,3% até cerca de 17,5%. A ingestão pelos animais afetou severamente a capacidade de germinação das sementes de Cajanus cajan, enquanto que em Calopogonium mucunoides a redução da porcentagem de germinação ocorreu em menor escala em comparação com a primeira. No caso de L. leucocephala, a germinação não foi influenciada pelo tratamento, o que no caso pode estar relacionado a uma maior dureza do tegumento em sementes dessa espécie. em C. mucunoides e L. leucocephala a velocidade de protrusão radicular foi ligeiramente aumentada em sementes tratadas, ao passo que o IVE da primeira foi reduzido. A ingestão também reduziu a taxa de crescimento em altura de plântulas de C. cajan, sendo o efeito menos acentuado em C. mucunoides. em L. leucocephala, a altura média foi maior em plântulas de sementes tratadas. Os resultados sugerem que o gado bovino não pode ser considerado um legítimo dispersor para L. leucocephala, C. mucunoides e C. cajan.
