Heritable Phytohormone Profiles of Poplar Genotypes Vary in Resistance to a Galling Aphid
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2019 Insect galls are highly specialized structures arising from atypical development of plant tissue induced by insects. Galls provide the insect enhanced nutrition and protection against natural enemies and environmental stresses.

Photosynthetica, 2020 The establishment of the galling insect generates a biotic stress that leads to tissue transformation. However, galls can maintain chlorophyll (Chl) and consequently photosynthesize. Herein, we evaluated the consequences of the biotic stress generated by

ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF GALL INSECTS [PDF]
The Canadian Entomologist, 1878 The natural history of the interesting gall insects is still somewhat mysterious. A large number of observations have been made here and in Europe by prominent Entomologists; nevertheless, a careful study of the most detailed papers always gives the impression that something is still wanting to explain the various facts related by the authors.

Antioxidant defense response in a galling insect [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Herbivorous insect species are constantly challenged with reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from endogenous and exogenous sources. ROS produced within insects because of stress and prooxidant allelochemicals produced by host plants in response to herbivory require a complex mode of antioxidant defense during insect/plant ...

A Preliminary Study of the Insect Galls of Iowa [PDF]
, 1942 The abnormal growths frequently found on plants and known as insect galls have led to much study of their origin and manner of development. These abnormal plant structures may vary from a simple fold-like gall on a leaf to a highly complex structure ...
