Figure 10

Diagram of the organization of a T. castaneum testis. The stem cell niche which is maintained by Stromal hub cells adheres to the apical tip of the testis. Hub cells are surrounded by germ line stem cells and somatic stem cells. Germ cells differentiate into spermatogonia and begin the development of spermatogenesis process to become mature sperm. Relative expression patterns of Tc-β2t, Tc-eno and Tc-rad50 are noted.
