Gall Phenotypes – Product of Plant Cells Defensive Responses to the Inducers Attack

Plant Defence: Biological Control

Part of the book series: Progress in Biological Control ((PIBC,volume 12))

Abstract

The great variety of gall morphotypes found in nature indicates the wide range of associated herbivores as well as the potentialities of the host plant cells to respond to their stimuli. Even though the galls are commonly seen as the extended phenotype of the gall inducers, they are constituted of plant cells. Therefore, these cells must have their developmental program altered towards new shapes and functions. Some signalizing molecules are evidenced since the first contact of the gall inducer with its host tissues. The closest the stimuli is, the most intense are the responses, in such a way that cytological and histochemical gradients may be generated.
