Metamorphosis of Wing Motor System in the Silk Moth, Bombyx mori: Origin of Wing Motor Neurons

The origin of the peripheral nerve and motor neurons that innervate the adult mesothoracic dorsal longitudinal muscles (DLMs) was examined in the silk moth, Bombyx mori. The anatomical features of the peripheral nerve and motor neurons were investigated by dissection, electron microscopy, and cobalt back‐fill staining at different pupal stages. These studies showed that the peripheral nerve (IIN1c) that innervates the adult DLMs originates from a branch (db branch) of the larval mesothoracic dorsal nerve that innervates the larval DLMs. During metamorphosis the larval nerve shortens or lengthens locally without change in its basic branching pattern, and the db branch moves towards the mesothoracic ganglion to become the IIN1c. All the adult DLM motor neurons are from larval ones. Nine of the 14 larval DLM motor neurons survive during metamorphosis to become adult DLM motor neurons, and 5 disappear in early pupal stages.
