Gene expression in gut symbiotic organ of stinkbug affected by extracellular bacterial symbiont.

The bean bug Riptortus pedestris possesses a specialized symbiotic organ in a posterior region of the midgut, where numerous crypts harbor extracellular betaproteobacterial symbionts of the genus Burkholderia.
