Summary

Fine structure of distal dendrite parts in sensilla of the larval cotton stainer (Dysdercus intermedius, 2. instar) and nymphal damselfly (Agrion spec., 8. instar) are described. The dendrite is subdivided into a proximal (I) and a distal (II) part. The latter consists of the ciliary shaft proper (II a) and the section distal to it (II b). In its most apical region part I contains two basal bodies (BK1, BK2), which are connected to rootlets running down the dendrite. Four different types of rootlets can be distinguished. Type 1 and 2 arise from the centre of BK1 and BK2 respectively. Type 3 and type 4 rootlets originate in the periphery of BK1 and BK2 respectively. InDysdercus types 1, 2 and 3 occur, inAgrion only types 1 and 4. The transition from part I to part II is characterized by a narrow neck, transitional fibers and the reduction of tubules from triplets to doublets (termination of tubule C). Part II a of the dendrites displays the 9×2+0 pattern and inDysdercus their length is correlated with modality. At the transition from II a to II b the diameter of the dendrite is enlarged by a factor of 1.5–2 in chemoreceptors and 2–3 in mechanoreceptors. This is the level of the first appearance of microtubules. The B tubules of the doublets terminate here. Microtubules also appear in the middle of the dendrite. These are not connected with the basal body. Results are discussed in comparison with other ciliary complexes.

Zusammenfassung

Der Feinbau der distalen Sinneszellausläufer (Dendriten) von Larven der Baumwollwanze (Dysdercus intermedius, zweites Larvenstadium) und von Nymphen der Azurjungfer (Agrion spec., achtes Larvenstadium) wird beschrieben. Der Dendrit gliedert sich in den proximalen Dendritenabschnitt (I) und in den distalen Dendritenabschnitt (II), der wiederum in zwei Abschnitte zerlegt werden kann, den eigentlichen Cilienschaft (II a) und den distal davon liegenden Teil (II b). I enthält apikal zwei Basalkörper (BK1, BK2), die mit nach proximal ziehenden Wurzelfasern in Verbindung stehen. Vier verschiedene Ordnungen von Wurzelfasern werden unterschieden. Die Wurzelfasern 1. und 2. Ordnung entspringen im Zentrum der BK1 bzw. BK2, die 3. und 4. Ordnung setzen an der Peripherie der BK1 bzw. BK2 an. BeiDysdercus sind Wurzelfasern 1., 2. und 3. Ordnung ausgebildet, beiAgrion nur solche 1. und 4. Ordnung. Der Übergang von I nach II ist durch eine halsartige Verengung des Dendriten, durch Übergangsfasern und durch die Reduzierung der Tripletts zu Doppeltubuli (Tubulus C endet) gekennzeichnet. Der nach dem Cilienmuster 9×2+0 aufgebaute Abschnitt II a hat beiDysdercus je nach Modalität der Rezeptorzellen unterschiedliche Länge. Den Übergang von II a nach II b charakterisieren: 1. Eine erneute Erweiterung des Dendriten (1,5- bis 2fach bei Chemorezeptoren; 2- bis 3fach bei Mechanorezeptoren. 2. Zentrale Mikrotubuli, die nicht mit dem Basalkörper in Verbindung stehen. 3. Der Übergang der peripheren Doppeltubuli in Mikrotubuli (Tubulus B endet). Die Ergebnisse werden vergleichend diskutiert.
