| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We had shown that brown-winged green stinkbug P. stali has mutualistic bacteria and the symbionts in Okinawa islands were different strains from the mainland of Japan. When I transposed the symbionts in Okinawa into stinkbug in mainland, the stinkbug was died. I researched the reason why the stinkbug was died. One of the reason why the stinkbug was died would be humoral immunity because the symbiont is absent in the symbiotic organ. Therefore, I focused on the humoral immunity of the stinkbug. Further reserch would be needed for relationship between immunity and symbiont but I found interesting phenomenon in humoral immunity in the stinkbug.
