Comparison of c-kit special expression in gametogenesis of Aiolopus tamulus (Fabricius) and Trilophidia annulata (Thunberg) (Orthoptera:Oedipodidae)

The special expression of c-kit protein in gametogenesis of Aiolopus tamulus(Fabricius)and Trilophidia annulata(Thunberg)collected from Siping,Jilin,Northeast China was studied by using immunohistochemistry and biostatistics.The results showed that:(1)In spermatogenesis,there were different expression levels of c-kit protein in spermatogonia,primary spermatocytes,second spermatocytes and mature sperms,and the biggest positive granules were found at the end of spermary;(2)In oogenesis,there were different expression levels of c-kit protein from the 1st to 6th stage of oocytes,and the positive granules gradually disappeared in vitellogenesis;(3)The expression of c-kit protein in gametogenesis was significantly different between the two species.
