Endosymbiotic bacteria can induce parthenogenesis in many haplo-diploid species, but little is known about their role in asexual reproduction in diplodiploids. Bacteria are essential for reproduction in the asexual lineages of springtails and booklice, and possibly some weevils, but whether they are the causative agent of parthenogenesis remains to be proven. This would require comparing unisexual forms and their closely related bisexual species, but such model species are very rare. Empoasca leafhoppers from the Madeira Archipelago provide an excellent case to test whether bacterial infections can cause parthenogenesis. Here we examined the diversity of the sex-distorting bacteria, Wolbachia, Cardinium, Rickettsia, and Arsenophonus, in three apomictic morphotypes (A, B, C) and three bisexual relatives of Empoasca. Wolbachia of group B was present in all unisexual and bisexual species. Rickettsia were the only bacteria restricted to the three unisexual forms, suggesting an association between infection and asexual reproduction. In addition, we found Asaia for the third time in the Cicadellidae, although this may have little to do with the reproductive mode of its host. Adult females of morphotype C reared on plants watered with tetracycline solution did not result in the production of male offspring. To our knowledge, this is the first study to suggest a possible association between bacterial infection and parthenogenesis in apomictic XO/XX diplodiploid bisexual species based on a range of sex ratio-distorting bacteria.

Empoasca(半翅目:蝉科)叶蝉的孤雌生殖和扭曲性别比例的细菌

内共生细菌可以在许多单倍体二倍体物种中诱导孤雌生殖,但对其在二倍体无性繁殖中的作用知之甚少。细菌对于跳虫和书虱的无性繁殖,可能还有一些象鼻虫是必不可少的,但它们是否是孤雌生殖的病原体仍有待证实。这将需要比较单性形式及其密切相关的双性种物种,但这种模式物种非常罕见。来自马德拉群岛的 Empoasca 叶蝉提供了一个很好的案例来测试细菌感染是否会导致孤雌生殖。在这里,我们检查了性别扭曲细菌 Wolbachia、 Cardinium、 Rickettsia 和 Arsenophonus 的多样性,在 Empoasca 的三种无融合生殖形态类型(A、B、C)和三个双性恋亲属中。B组沃尔巴克氏体存在于所有单性和双性物种中。立克次体是唯一局限于三种单性形式的细菌,这表明感染与无性繁殖之间存在关联。此外,我们第三次在蝉科中发现了Asaia,虽然这可能与其宿主的繁殖方式关系不大。在用四环素溶液浇水的植物上饲养的形态型 C 的成年雌性不会产生雄性后代。据我们所知,这是第一项基于一系列性别比例扭曲细菌的研究,表明无性生殖 XO/XX 二倍体双性恋物种中细菌感染与孤雌生殖之间可能存在关联。表明感染与无性繁殖之间存在关联。此外,我们第三次在蝉科中发现了Asaia,虽然这可能与其宿主的繁殖方式关系不大。在用四环素溶液浇水的植物上饲养的形态型 C 的成年雌性不会产生雄性后代。据我们所知,这是第一项基于一系列性别比例扭曲细菌的研究,表明无性生殖 XO/XX 二倍体双性恋物种中细菌感染与孤雌生殖之间可能存在关联。表明感染与无性繁殖之间存在关联。此外,我们第三次在蝉科中发现了Asaia,虽然这可能与其宿主的繁殖方式关系不大。在用四环素溶液浇水的植物上饲养的形态型 C 的成年雌性不会产生雄性后代。据我们所知,这是第一项基于一系列性别比例扭曲细菌的研究,表明细菌感染与无性生殖 XO/XX 二倍体双性恋物种的孤雌生殖之间可能存在关联。在用四环素溶液浇水的植物上饲养的形态型 C 的成年雌性不会产生雄性后代。据我们所知,这是第一项基于一系列性别比例扭曲细菌的研究,表明细菌感染与无性生殖 XO/XX 二倍体双性恋物种的孤雌生殖之间可能存在关联。在用四环素溶液浇水的植物上饲养的形态型 C 的成年雌性不会产生雄性后代。据我们所知,这是第一项基于一系列性别比例扭曲细菌的研究,表明细菌感染与无性生殖 XO/XX 二倍体双性恋物种的孤雌生殖之间可能存在关联。
