Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 To gain insight into wasp factors that might be involved in the initial induction of galls on woody plants, we performed high throughput (454) transcriptome analysis of ovaries and venom glands of two cynipid gall wasps, Biorhiza pallida and Diplolepis ...

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 ...

Successful gall induction on wild roses by gall wasps under lab conditions
Ecological EntomologyAbstract Plant galls are unique outgrowths caused by various organisms, including insects, serving as nourishment for the inducer's larvae. Despite the taxonomists and ecologists attempts to elucidate the mechanisms behind plant gall formation, its understanding is ...

Effect of Curcumin on Cholesterol Gall-stone Induction in Rats
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2003 Abstract Panjehshahin, M.R., Owji, A.A., Mehrabani, D., Mirzaee, M. and Vasei, M. 2003. Effect of curcumin on cholesterol gall-stone induction in rats. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 23: 75–80. To study the effects of curcumin on the formation of cholesterol gallstones, 30 female rats were divided into three equal groups.

Insects, 2023 Gall-inducing insects often contain high concentrations of phytohormones, such as auxin and cytokinin, which are suggested to be involved in gall induction, but no conclusive evidence has yet been obtained.

Catalogue of Rose Gall, Herb Gall, and Inquiline Gall Wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) of the United States, Canada and Mexico [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021 Cynipidae (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea) is a diverse group of wasps, many of which are capable of inducing plants to make novel structures, galls, that protect and nourish the wasps' larvae.

A comparative venomic fingerprinting approach reveals that galling and non-galling fig wasp species have different venom profiles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The galling habit represents a complex type of interaction between insects and plants, ranging from antagonism to mutualism. The obligate pollination mutualism between Ficus and fig wasps relies strongly on the induction of galls in Ficus flowers, where ...
