Eriophytid mite interaction on leaves of Pongamia pinnata-a histological study

Keywords : abaxial, adaxial, galls, morphogenesis,neoplastic


Abstract

Galls are irregular growth of cells formed as a result of stimulation from Insects Eriophytid mite Aceria pongamiae on leaves of Pongamia pinnata. In the present study different stages of leaf galls were cut and their internal study was carried out. Pouched Galls were found both on adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the leaves which represented neoplastic growth. In this study different day-old leaf galls were cut and undifferentiated mesophyll tissue was seen which was absent in results of anatomical study of non-galled leaves.
