Hypoxic Conditions in Crown Galls Induce Plant Anaerobic Responses That Support Tumor Proliferation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection of wounded plant tissues causes the formation of crown gall tumors. Upon infection, genes encoded on the A. tumefaciens tumor inducing plasmid are integrated in the plant genome to induce the biosynthesis of auxin and ...

Exploring Plant Galls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A part of the Grab and Go With Science series, this activity leads youth in recognizing and understanding plant galls. A gall is an abnormal growth on a plant. Many galls on plants are caused by insects, and they provide a home for the insects to grow

Occurrence and characterization of insect galls in two areas of tropical dry forest (caatinga) in São Francisco River Natural Monument, Brazil

open access: yesEntomology Beginners, 2023
The caatinga vegetation is an important natural laboratory for the study of how plants and gall-inducing insects interact in highly variable and stressful moisture regimes. Despite this, only five gall inventories have been conducted and its richness of

Effects of structural complexity and habitat type on the gall distribution of Jatrophobia brasiliensis (Rübsaamen, 1907) (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) in two host-species of Manihot (Euphorbiaceae)

open access: yesEntomological Communications, 2020
In the present study, we evaluate the distribution of galls induced by Jatrophobia brasiliensis (Rübsaamen, 1907) in two species of Manihot (Manihot caerulescens Pohl and Manihot sp.).

Antioxidant metabolism in galls due to the extended phenotypes of the associated organisms. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Animal-induced galls are considered extended phenotypes of their inducers, and therefore plant morphogenesis and metabolism may vary according to the species of gall inducers.
