Flight muscles polymorphism in a flightless bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.): developmental pattern, biochemical profile and endocrine control.

Abstract:

:The flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) is polymorphic for both wing length and flight muscle development. The developed flight muscles of macropterous adults of both sexes first enlarge their volume during the first 5 days after adult emergence, but are then histolyzed in all males and females older than 10 and 14 days, respectively. The flight muscles of brachypterous adult males and females are underdeveloped due to their arrested growth. The total protein content of histolyzed dorsolongitudinal flight muscles from 21-day-old macropterous adults of both sexes is lower than that of developed dorsolongitudinal flight muscles in 5-10-days-old macropterous bugs, but substantially higher than the protein content of underdeveloped dorsolongitudinal flight muscles from adult brachypters. Histolyzed dorsolongitudinal flight muscles differ from the developed ones by decreased quantities of 18 electrophoretically separated proteins. Histolysis of developed dorsolongitudinal flight muscles is accompanied by significant decreases in citrate synthase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase enzyme activities and an increase in alanine aminotransferase activity, and can be precociously induced by application of a juvenile hormone analogue. This is the first report of flight muscle polymorphism, histolysis of developed flight muscles and its endocrine control in insects displaying non-functional wing polymorphism.
