| Research Abstract |
It was highly suggested that auxin and cytokinins produced by galling insects are involved in gall formation by expression analysis of marker genes of the phytohormone signalings. It was also shown that insects have auxin biosynthesis ability in general and galling insects further improved the ability for gall formation. We also obtained compounds which inhibit auxin biosynthesis in insects, which must be useful to unambiguously demonstrate the importance of auxin in gall formation.
