TLDR
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.

Insect-induced effects on plants and possible effectors used by galling and leaf-mining insects to manipulate their host-plant

TL;DR: Key plant functions targeted by various plant reprogrammers, including plant-manipulating insects and nematodes, are reviewed, and insect herbivore-derived effectors are functionally characterized to provide a broader understanding of possible mechanisms used in host-plant manipulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gall-forming root-knot nematodes hijack key plant cellular functions to induce multinucleate and hypertrophied feeding cells.

TL;DR: Progress in understanding host plant responses is highlighted, focusing on how RKNs manipulate key plant processes and functions, including cell cycle, defence, hormones, cellular scaffold, metabolism and transport.

Dynamics of limited neoplastic growth on Pongamia pinnata (L.) (Fabaceae) leaf, induced by Aceria pongamiae (Acari: Eriophyidae).

TL;DR: Agarwal et al. as mentioned in this paper shed light on the gall inducing habit of a highly host specific eriophyid mite, Aceria pongamiae, on the leaves of Pongamia pinnata leading to the production of abnormal pouch like outgrowths on the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the foliage.

Sink Status and Photosynthetic Rate of the Leaflet Galls Induced by Bystracoccus mataybae (Eriococcidae) on Matayba guianensis (Sapindaceae).

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that high levels of nutrients are accumulated during gall development in response to a local maintenance of photosynthesis and to the galling insect activity, and to supply the demands of gall metabolism, the levels of water-soluble polysaccharides and starch increase in gall tissues.

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.

The dilemma of plants: To grow or defend.

TL;DR: A conceptual model of the evolution of plant defense is concluded, in which plant physioligical trade-offs interact with the abiotic environment, competition and herbivory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resource Availability and Plant Antiherbivore Defense

TL;DR: Resource availability in the environment is proposed as the major determinant of both the amount and type of plant defense, and theories on the evolution of plant defenses are compared with other theories.
Journal ArticleDOI

How many species are there on Earth

TL;DR: Current answers to the factual question posed in the title are surveyed and the kinds of information that are needed to make these answers more precise are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ethylene as a Signal Mediating the Wound Response of Tomato Plants

TL;DR: In tomato plants, one class of wound-responsive genes encodes proteinase inhibitor (pin) proteins shown to block insect feeding, and ethylene and jasmonates act together to regulate pin gene expression during the wound response.
Journal ArticleDOI

The adaptive significance of insect gall morphology

TL;DR: It is suggested that the hypothesis that selection imposed by enemies remains the most probable adaptive explanation for the evolution of diversity in insect galls has yet to be tested explicitly, and the requirements for an appropriate cross-species analysis are discussed.
