Geny Hox jako regulatory rozwoju zarodkowego i markery molekularne w badaniach filogenetycznych u Heteroptera – stan obecny i perspektywy dalszych badań
Journal Title: Heteroptera Poloniae - Acta Faunistica - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue
Abstract
The Homeotic Complex (Hox) genes are a group of genes, which expression along anteriorposterior body axis of the embryo is required to assign segmental identity. Comparison of wild-type individuals and those with homeotic phenotype has resulted in knowing of the functions of heteropteran Hox genes: Deformed gene expression is necessary for proper mandibular development, Sex combs reduced gene with Dfd specify the maxillae, and with pb – the labium, Antennapedia gene is strongly expressed in thorax and it is required for segmentation of the medial region of the leg, while Ultrabithorax has a major influence on diversification of legs in the adaptive radiation of semi-aquatic bugs. Hox genes are also suitable molecular markers to resolve phylogenetic relationships in Heteroptera, however more studies are necessary.

Nishadana typica Distant, 1889 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Cydnidae) is reported for the first time from Laos. This species was hitherto recorded only in India (three localities), Myanmar (a single locality), and Bangladesh...
Preliminary studies on the usefulness of DNA mini-barcodes for determining phylogenetic relationships within shieldbugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
The paper presents results of preliminary studies on the usefulness of DNA mini-barcodes for the phylogenetic inference within Pentatomidae. Mini-barcodes for six Polish shieldbug species representing three pentatomid su...
