Genomic dissection of an extended phenotype: Oak galling by a cynipid gall wasp. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Galls are plant tissues whose development is induced by another organism for the inducer's benefit. 30,000 arthropod species induce galls, and in most cases the inducing effectors and target plant systems are unknown.

Gall Wasp Transcriptomes Unravel Potential Effectors Involved in Molecular Dialogues With Oak and Rose [PDF]
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 ...

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.

Phylogeny, evolution and classification of gall wasps: the plot thickens.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Gall wasps (Cynipidae) represent the most spectacular radiation of gall-inducing insects. In addition to true gall formers, gall wasps also include phytophagous inquilines, which live inside the galls induced by gall wasps or other insects.
