Plant Growth Hormones in Pinyon Insect Galls
BYERS J. A., BREWER J. W. & DENNA D. W. 1976. Plant growth hormones in pinyon insect galls. Marcellio 39, 125-134. Larvae of the midge Janetiella sp. near J. coloradensis Felt (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) cause galls at the base of young needles of pinyon Pinus edulis Engelm. Bioassays of extracts from these galls contained as much as 17 times more auxin activity and as much as 21 times more gibber...
متن کاملDescriptions of two new Species of Goniozus Förster, 1856 (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) associated with insect induced plant galls from India.
Two new species of the genus Goniozus viz., Goniozus inauditus Santhosh sp. nov. and G. kuriani Santhosh sp. nov. associated with insect induced plant galls from South India are described. The parasitic relationship of Goniozus with the nonlepidopteran hosts living in the concealed habitats and their association with insect induced plant galls and its inhabitants are reviewed. The possible hos...
متن کاملPlant polyploidy and insect/plant interactions.
We used flow cytometry and extensive geographic surveys of herbivore attack to test whether repeated evolution of autotetraploidy in the perennial herb Heuchera grossulariifolia Rydb. (Saxifragaceae) has created evolutionary barriers to attack by the specialist moth herbivore Greya politella (Prodoxidae). We found that the moth has colonized tetraploid as well as diploid populations, has coloni...
متن کاملMechanisms of plant–insect interaction
The study of plant–insect interactions continues to be an exciting and fast-moving field that builds upon the more extensive literature available in plant–microbe interactions and offers new and significant insights into both the unique molecular determinants of plant–insect interactions and the wider ecological context. This special issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany brings together a...
متن کاملPlant immunity to insect herbivores.
Herbivorous insects use diverse feeding strategies to obtain nutrients from their host plants. Rather than acting as passive victims in these interactions, plants respond to herbivory with the production of toxins and defensive proteins that target physiological processes in the insect. Herbivore-challenged plants also emit volatiles that attract insect predators and bolster resistance to futur...
