Could the Extended Phenotype Extend to the Cellular and Subcellular Levels in Insect-Induced Galls?
Fig 5
Development-dependent immunolabelling of plant cell wall pectins and proteins during the development of Psidium cattleianum leaves and Nothotrioza myrtoidis galls.
Gray scale labels indicate different ontogenetic tissues and the filling in the perpendicular bars indicates positive binding of low methylesterified homogalacturonans by the JIM5 antibody, medium-high methylesterified homogalacturonans by the JIM 7 antibody, extensins by the LM1 antibody, arabinogalactan proteins by the LM2 antibody, galactans and arabinans by the LM5 and LM6 antibodies, and unesterified HGAs and high methylesterified HGAs by the LM19 and LM20 antibodies. (a) Young leaves, (b) Mature leaves, (c-f) Galls, (c) Induction, (d) Growth and development, (e) Maturation, (f) Senescence.
