Manipulation of the phenolic chemistry of willows by gall-inducing sawflies
TL;DR: Analysis of the concentrations of various plant defense compounds in willow leaves and sawfly galls found that the galls are probably nutritionally beneficial for the sawfly larvae, and changes in chemistry occur in a similar coordinated pattern in all studied willow species, which suggests that the insects control the phenolic biosynthesis in their hosts.
