Totipotent nutritive cells and indeterminate growth in galls of Ditylenchus gallaeformans (Nematoda) on reproductive apices of Miconia

TLDR
Such long-distance effects indicate that D. gallaeformans is a peculiar colonial parasite, which may compensate the damages of gall inducing mechanisms by favoring, at least partially, its host plant fitness.

Anatomical Alterations in Plant Tissues Induced by Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

TL;DR: This paper is centered on cell types or organs that are newly induced in plants during PPN parasitism, including recent approaches to their study based on molecular biology combined with cell biology-histopathology.

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

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).

Antioxidant metabolism in galls due to the extended phenotypes of the associated organisms.

TL;DR: The roles of both associated organisms in host plant-galling organisms systems over gall metabolism is attested, and the neglected determination of gall functionalities over host plant peculiarities is neglected.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive Nature of Insect Galls

TL;DR: The evolution of the galling habit has followed two pathways, one via mining plant tissues and the other from sedentary external herbivores that then modify plant growth.
