Journal ArticleDOI

Manipulation of host plant cells and tissues by gall-inducing insects and adaptive strategies used by different feeding guilds.

TL;DR: It is predicted that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a role in gall induction, development and histochemical gradient formation and activity of carbohydrate-related enzymes across diverse galls corroborates this hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why do the galls induced by Calophya duvauae Scott on Schinus polygamus (Cav.) Cabrera (Anacardiaceae) change colors

TL;DR: The alterations in gall structure and color were related to the gradual decreasing in galling stimuli, and a notable reduction in the contents of all pigments in the galls when compared to non-galled leaves, especially for total anthocyanins in green galls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feeding and Other Gall Facets: Patterns and Determinants in Gall Structure

TL;DR: The animal-induced galls have a striking anatomical diversity, concerning several patterns, which were reunited herein, and culminates in extant gall structural diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pectin and cellulose cell wall composition enables different strategies to leaf water uptake in plants from tropical fog mountain.

TL;DR: Current data indicate that the composition of epidermal cell walls is a relevant trait for leaf water uptake, and cell wall composition regarding pectin and cellulose are significant for water uptake by the leaf epidermis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revisiting the histological patterns of storage tissues: beyond the limits of gall-inducing taxa

TL;DR: Gall-inducing Aphididae may feed directly on phloem, whereas Eriophyidae and Nematoda feed on cells lining the gall chambers, and the classification of storage tissues into three types: typical nutritive tissues (TNT), common storage tissues (CST), and nutritive-like tissues (NLT).
