TLDR
The animal-induced galls have a striking anatomical diversity, concerning several patterns, which were reunited herein, and culminates in extant gall structural diversity.Abstract:
Galls are neoformed structures induced by specific animals, fungi, bacteria, virus or some parasitic plants on their host plant organs. Developmental processes are well known in Agrobacterium tumefasciens galls, but the animal-induced galls have a striking anatomical diversity, concerning several patterns, which were reunited herein. Anatomical traits observed in animal-induced galls involve manipulation of plant morphogenesis in convergent ways. Nematode, mite and insect galls usually contain homogeneous storage parenchyma and develop due to hyperplasia and cell hypertrophy. The development of typical nutritive tissues, giant cells, or hypertrophied vascular bundles may occur. Some other anatomical features may be usually restricted to galls induced by specific taxa, but they may eventually be related to the developmental potentialities of the host plants. The combination of distinct morphogenetic peculiarities in each gall system culminates in extant gall structural diversity. Convergent anatomical traits are observed according to the feeding mode of the gall inducers, representing potentiation or inhibition of similar events of host plant morphogenesis and cell redifferentiation, independent of gall-inducing taxa.read more

Histopathogenesis of the galls induced by Nothanguina phyllobia in Solanum elaeagnifolium [Silver-leaf nightshade, perennial weeds, biological control agents]
TL;DR: The histopathogenesis of the foliar galls induced by Nothanguina phyllobia Thorne in Solanum elaeagnilolium Cav. was examined via serial sections prepared from plant shoots at 11 time intervals (0.5-30 days) following inoculation as mentioned in this paper.

Cytological attributes of storage tissues in nematode and eriophyid galls: pectin and hemicellulose functional insights
Bruno G. Ferreira,Bruno G. Ferreira,Gracielle Pereira Pimenta Bragança,Rosy Mary dos Santos Isaias +3 more
TL;DR: Despite their analogous functionalities, the protoplast and cell wall features of TNT cells of nematode galls and of the feeding cells of the Eriophyidae galls are distinct, and work out through different strategies toward keeping gall developmental site active.

Enzyme‐mediated metabolism in nutritive tissues of galls induced by Ditylenchus gallaeformans (Nematoda: Anguinidae)
Bruno G. Ferreira,Mariana de Sousa Costa Freitas,Gracielle Pereira Pimenta Bragança,Ana Silvia Franco Pinheiro Moreira,Renê Gonçalves da Silva Carneiro,Rosy Mary dos Santos Isaias +5 more
TL;DR: Reducing sugars in the TNT are important for the production of new cell walls during the indeterminate growth of the galls, which have increased levels of water-soluble polysaccharides that corroborate such hypothesis.

Hemicelluloses and associated compounds determine gall functional traits
Gracielle Pereira Pimenta Bragança,C. F. Alencar,Mariana de Sousa Costa Freitas,Rosy Mary dos Santos Isaias +3 more
TL;DR: Although cell wall dynamics is peculiar to each gall morphotype in Inga ingoides, the role of xyloglucans as carbohydrate reserve to the gall inducers constitutes a functional trait common the three morphotypes.

Interactions Between Figs and Gall-Inducing Fig Wasps: Adaptations, Constraints, and Unanswered Questions
TL;DR: A review of current knowledge on gall induction by fig wasps and exposes the many lacunae in this area can be found in this paper, which makes connections between fig and gall-inducing wasp traits, and suggests relatively unexplored research avenues.

Interspecific competition among phloem-feeding insects mediated by induced host-plant sinks
TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of exploitation competition for plant assimilates between two insect—induced sinks, mediated by manipulation of plant phloem transport, stands in contrast to the absence of interference competition for galling sites between the two aphid species.

How Many Species of Gall-Inducing Insects Are There on Earth, and Where Are They?
TL;DR: An increased sampling effort in tropical regions should fill the taxonomy gap represented by gall-inducing insects and possibly change the biogeographic patterns described so far.
