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 ...

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.

Differences in Gall Induction of Flower-like Galls on Haloxylon by Psyllids (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), and the Emergence of Corresponding Parasitoids. [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Saxaul is a kind of dominant perennial psammophyte that widely distributes in arid and semi-arid desert areas, and it has multiple functions in preventing desertification, especially in windbreak and sand fixation. Various gall inducers induce galls on the saxaul, including the flower-like gall.

Genomic Assessment of the Contribution of the Wolbachia Endosymbiont of Eurosta solidaginis to Gall Induction. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 We explored the genome of the Wolbachia strain, wEsol, symbiotic with the plant-gall-inducing fly Eurosta solidaginis with the goal of determining if wEsol contributes to gall induction by its insect host. Gall induction by insects has been hypothesized to involve the secretion of the phytohormones cytokinin and auxin and/or proteinaceous effectors to ...

Phytohormones in Japanese Mugwort Gall Induction by a Gall-Inducing Gall Midge [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 2013 A variety of insect species induce galls on host plants. Liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometric analyses showed that a gall midge (Rhopalomyia yomogicola) that induces galls on Artemisia princeps contained high levels of indole-3-acetic acid and cytokinins. The gall midge larvae also synthesized indole-3-acetic acid from tryptophan.

Phytohormones and willow gall induction by a gall‐inducing sawfly [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2012 SummaryA variety of insect species induce galls on host plants. Several studies have implicated phytohormones in insect‐induced gall formation. However, it has not been determined whether insects can synthesize phytohormones. It has also never been established that phytohormones function in gall tissues.Liquid chromatography and tandem mass ...

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.

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.
