Galls are products of anatomical, metabolic, and chemical alterations in host plant tissues,
caused by parasitic organisms named gall inducers. Gall inducers can potentiate chemical …

As natural microlaboratories, galls are elegant models to study plant cell fates. Each gall
morphotype is the product of repetitive patterns in cell division and differentiation, which …

Gall anatomical and metabolic peculiarities are determined by the feeding habit of the gall
inducer, but develop under the constraints of the host plants. The chewing habit of the …

Abstract Marcetia taxifolia (A. St.-Hil.) DC. hosts two gall morphotypes, a pistil-shaped gall
induced by a Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) and a fusiform stem gall induced by a Lepidoptera …

Gall morphotypes depend on continuous chemical and feeding stimuli of the gall inducer,
which promotes specific structural and metabolic changes in plant tissues. The galling insect …

Galls are anomalies in plant development from parasitic origin, and affect cellular
differentiation or growth of plants. This parasite–plant interaction occurs in many …

Galling insects manipulate host plant tissues for their own benefit. Because of feeding
activity of the gall insects, both structural and metabolic changes occur in the host plant …

Galls are anomalies in plant development of parasitic origin that affect the cellular
differentiation or growth and represent a remarkable plant–parasite interaction. B yrsonima …

Plant anatomists perceive the plant body as the dynamic result of complex developmental
processes which may deviate during gall development. Gall development involves local …

Milicia excelsa (Me) is an important timber tree whose establishment has been constrained
by Phytolyma fusca (Pf) attack. A commonly used method of Pf control with systemic …
