Microbiome and plant cell transformation trigger insect gall induction in cassava [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Several specialised insects can manipulate normal plant development to induce a highly organised structure known as a gall, which represents one of the most complex interactions between insects and plants. Thus far, the mechanism for insect-induced plant

Reprogramming of the Developmental Program of Rhus javanica During Initial Stage of Gall Induction by Schlechtendalia chinensis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Insect galls are unique organs that provide shelter and nutrients to the gall-inducing insects. Although insect galls are fascinating structures for their unique shapes and functions, the process by which gall-inducing insects induce such complex ...

Transcriptome and phytohormone analysis reveal mechanism of gall formation by Trichagalma acutissimae larvae on oak leaves [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionGall formation caused by plant-organism interactions affects plant development and is essential for the life cycle of gall-inducing insects. Plant hormones like auxins and cytokinins, regulate gall development and defense responses.

Overlooked gall-inducing moths revisited, with the description of Andescecidium parrai gen. et sp. n. and Oliera saizi sp. n. from Chile (Lepidoptera, Cecidosidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 There are still many gall systems associated with larvae of Lepidoptera in which the true gall-inducers have not been identified to species. Reports on misidentification of gall inducers have been recurrent for these galls, particularly in complex gall ...

Gall-induction in insects: evolutionary dead-end or speciation driver? [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background The tree of life is significantly asymmetrical - a result of differential speciation and extinction - but general causes of such asymmetry are unclear.

Parasitic‐Plant Parasite Rewires Flowering Pathways to Induce Stem‐Derived Galls [PDF]
Plant DirectGall‐inducing insects manipulate host plant development, redirecting cellular fate and physiological processes to form novel structures. This phenomenon is even more intriguing when the host itself is a holoparasitic plant with minimal photosynthetic ...

Metatranscriptome Analysis of Fig Flowers Provides Insights into Potential Mechanisms for Mutualism Stability and Gall Induction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A striking property of the mutualism between figs and their pollinating wasps is that wasps consistently oviposit in the inner flowers of the fig syconium, which develop into galls that house developing larvae.
