Quantitative differences detected in the histology of galls induced by the same aphid species in different varieties of the same host

Abstract: Plant galls are abnormal growths caused by an inducer that determines their morphology and anatomy. We qualitatively and quantitatively compared the histological anatomy of five aphid species (Paracletus cimiciformis, Forda marginata, Forda formicaria, Baizongia pistaciae and Geoica wertheimae) that induce galls in Pistacia terebinthus shrubs growing in Israel. We also quantitatively compared these galls to those that the aphids create on the same host in Spain. Histological study was conducted following metho… Show more

“…The anti‐insect properties of the wall in galls induced by aphids have been demonstrated, as has the importance of the permeability of the gall wall to non‐polar volatile compounds for the survival of the aphids inside the gall cavity (Martinez, 2010). The richness of protective structures found in the same galls was histologically described by Àlvarez and colleagues (Álvarez et al, 2009, 2016; Àlvarez, 2012; Martinez et al, 2018), and it is admitted that these structures are avoided by the gall inducers (Wool, 2005).…”

“…Galling insects profit from the gall tissue as a nutrient source (via phloem ducts for example Wool, 2012;Martinez et al, 2018), as a physical barrier (wall thickness, sclereids, schizogenous ducts of sticky resins - Alvarez et al, 2009;Martinez et al, 2018), and through chemical protection (resins rich in terpenoids - Rand et al, 2014). Galls are created by the host plant as a means of anti-herbivore defense (Hanley et al, 2007), but manipulated by the gall inducer for its own advantage (Price & Pschorn-Walcher, 1988;Martinez et al, 2018). At the end of the second growing season, we effectively measured longer current-year apical shoots and internodes in fertilized trees than in control trees, in accordance with SFH, and than was demonstrated in the past (e.g., Dardeau et al, 2015).…”

“…Gall abundance on Mangifera indica leaves was found to be higher in the upper than the lower zone of the plant canopy, which on its turn was higher than in the inner zone [ 20 ]. In a type of aphidic gall, the number/size of the gall is different when a kind of aphid feeding on the different site of the same host [ 21 ]. In addition to size and number, the host plant also affects the morphogenesis of galls.…”
