Plants make galls to accommodate foreigners: some are friends, most are foes
MO Harris, A Pitzschke - New Phytologist, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
At the colonization site of a foreign entity, plant cells alter their trajectory of growth and
development. The resulting structure–a plant gall–accommodates various needs of the …
