Conferring High IAA Productivity on Low-IAA-Producing Organisms with PonAAS2, an Aromatic Aldehyde Synthase of a Galling Sawfly, and Identification of Its Inhibitor [PDF]
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.

Superhost Plants Alter the Structure of Plant–Galling Insect Networks in Neotropical Savannas
Plants, 2019 Host plants may harbor a variable number of galling insect species, with some species being able to harbor a high diversity of these insects, being therefore called superhost plants.

Rich specialized insect damage on Pliocene leaves from the Mahuadanr Valley (India) growing under a warm climate with weak seasonality [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlant‐insect interactions play a crucial role in shaping terrestrial ecosystems, influencing abundance and distribution of plant species. In the present study, we investigated leaf‐mining patterns on fossil leaves from Pliocene strata of the Mahuadanr ...

Molecular Aspects of Gall Formation Induced by Mites and Insects. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2023 Recent publications on gall formation induced on the leaves of dicotyledonous flowering plants by eriophyoid mites (Eriophyoidea) and representatives of four insect orders (Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera) are analyzed. Cellular and molecular level data on the stimuli that induce and sustain the development of both mite and insect galls ...

Widespread Lateral Transmission in Fergusonina Galling Flies (Diptera: Fergusoninidae) and Their Obligate Nematode Mutualists Does Not Preclude an Overall Pattern of Cospeciation [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCospeciation between symbionts or other tightly associated organisms is believed to occur primarily in the case of strict vertical transmission of the interaction from parents to offspring.

Galling insects are bioindicators of environmental quality in a Conservation Unit
Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2014 Galls are well distributed across the World and among plant families. Their diversity can support the status of conservation of an area as an urban park, once inventories are presented. These inventories also help to understand the morphological patterns

Review of gall-associated insects in the Melastomataceae family
Brazilian Journal of BiologyAlthough research on gall-associated insects has increased in recent years in Brazil, little is known about this fauna in the Melastomataceae family. Here, we compiled information on the fauna of insects associated with galls induced in species of the ...
