Morphological structure of salivary glands, alimentary canal, and Malpighian tubules in adult Eurydema spectabilis Horváth, 1882 (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae). [PDF]
Microsc Res TechIn E. spectabilis, the salivary glands are divided into principal and accessory glands. Microvilli and numerous secretory granules were found in Malpighian tubules. Numerous uric acid crystals and bacteria were found in the rectum lumen. Abstract Eurydema spectabilis (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has a piercing‐sucking mouth type and feeds on plant sap ...

Differences between phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae based on the mitochondrial genome. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae were compared and analyzed. And we constructed the phylogenetic trees and the time tree. Our research results provide data supporting for the evolutionary patterns and classification of Pentatomidae.

Antibodies raised against a Sunn bug (Eurygaster integriceps Put.) recombinant protease, rGHP3p2, can inhibit gluten-hydrolyzing activity. [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr, 2020 Sunn pest or Sunn bug salivary gland proteases are responsible for the deterioration of wheat flour quality during dough mixing, resulting from gluten hydrolysis. The present study describes the generation of a specific peptide antibody, raised against the active center of the recombinant gluten‐hydrolyzing protease (GHP3).

Diversity of the Obligate Gut Bacteria Indicates Host-Symbiont Coevolution at the Population Level in the Plataspid Stinkbug Megacopta cribraria. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIllumina sequencing more accurately reflects the composition of the gut bacterial community in Ishikawaella–Plataspidae system. Closely related strains of Ishikawaella are likely to coexist in the same host. Host–symbiont coevolution exists at the population level of Plataspidae stinkbug Megacopta cribraria.

Diversity and distribution of bamboo-feeding true bugs in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThere are 36 genera with 69 species bamboo‐feeding true bugs in China. Their spacial diversity pattern showed preference in South China, with higher diversity areas located in the tropics and its surrounding areas. Abstract The Bambusoideae subfamily, originating in the late Cretaceous, has evolved to include over 1500 species globally.

Identification of Bacterial Proteins in the Gut of Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps [PDF]
Journal of Cell and Molecular Research, 2021 Proteomics is a powerful tool to identify effective proteins in the biochemical reactions of the insect body. Many proteins were reported in the gut lumen and tissues which are essential to complete the physiological role of the alimentary canal of Sunn ...
