Abstract excerpt
Thrips spermiogenesis is characterized by unusual features in the differentiating spermatid cells. Three centrioles from which three individual short flagella are initially assembled, make the early spermatid a tri-flagellated cell. Successively, during spermatid maturation, the three basal bodies maintain a position close to the most anterior end of the elongating nucleus, so that the three axonemes are...
