Abstract

The cynipid Diplolepis triforma Shorthouse and Ritchie induces a fusiform, multi chambered stem gall from leaf buds on Rosa acicularis Lindl. in central and western Canada. Galls at all stages of development were fixed and sectioned using botanical histological techniques to illustrate, for the first time, the unique host-modifying abilities of gall-inducing cynipids that distinguish them from other phytophagous insects. Key events in gall ontogeny, whereby D. triforma gains control and redirects the development of attacked host tissues to provide larvae with shelter and food, include proliferation of cytoplasmically dense parenchymatous cells within the strands of the procambium at the point of egg contact, appearance of nutritive cells when larvae first begin to feed, formation of new xylem and phloem extending from un affected vascular bundles to the larval chambers, formation of several layers of nutritive cells during the period of larval feeding, and formation of sclerenchyma cells around each larval chamber. The role of these tissues in galler biology is explained.

Résumé

Le cynips Diplolepis triforma Shorthouse et Ritchie provoque la formation de galles fusiformes à logettes multiples à partir des bourgeons foliaires sur les tiges de Rosa acicularis Lindl. dans le centre et l'ouest du Canada. Nous avons fixé et sectionné à l'aide de techniques histologiques botaniques des galles à tous les stades de leur développement afin d'illustrer, pour la première fois, les capacités exceptionnelles des cynips cécidogènes pour modifier leur hôte, ce qui les distingue des autres insectes phytophages. Les étapes importantes de la cécidogenèse, par lesquelles D. triforma prend le contrôle des tissus de l'hôte attaqué et en dévie le développement pour procurer le gîte et la nourriture à ses larves, inclut la prolifération de cellules parenchymateuses à cytoplasme dense au milieu des bandes de procambium au point de contact de l'oeuf, l'apparition de cellules nourricières au moment où les larves commencent à s'alimenter, l'élaboration de nouveaux tissus de xylème et phloème s'étendant des faisceaux vasculaires non affectés vers les logettes des larves, la formation de plusieurs couches de cellules nourricières durant la période d'alimentation des larves et l'apparition de cellules sclérenchymateuses autour de chaque logette larvaire. Nous expliquons le rôle de ces tissus dans les biologie des insectes cécidogènes.
