Comparison of anterior midgut ultrastructure in soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (IMAGE)
Caption
Comparison of anterior midgut ultrastructure in soybean cyst nematode (SCN) fed on A, wild-type or B, GMB151 (Cry14Ab-expressing) plants. Intestine lumen is expanded in size in the GMB151-fed worm, and it is filled with fibrillar material that is lysate from the microvillus-like structure (MvL) (Figs. 5, 6, and 7). In GMB151 plant-fed nematodes, the loss of MvL cytoplasm by ruptured MvL membranes causes cytoplasm density to be lower compared with MvL lacking ruptured membranes and cytoplasm density in the ground cytoplasm of the epithelial cell to which they are attached (as quantified in Fig. 5B). Scale bars are 0.5 µm.
