Variable organization of symbiont-containing tissue across planthoppers hosting different heritable endosymbionts

Sap-feeding hemipteran insects live in associations with diverse heritable symbiotic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) that provide essential nutrients deficient in their hosts’ diets.
