Sugar Contents of Single Cell Clones of Stem and Phylloxera Leaf Galls of the Grape Vine

Abstract

INSECTS induce galls of many sizes and degrees of complexity in plants. The mechanism of gall induction and why growth finally ceases are not clearly understood. Phylloxera induces leaf gall in the grape vine which is typical of such abnormal growth in the sense that it is restricted in its development. Some of the biochemical and physiological changes which occur in these abnormal structures have been investigated by means of the tissue culture technique1.
