Gall Development and Clone Dynamics of the Galling Aphid <I>Schlechtendalia chinensis</I> (Hemiptera: Pemphigidae)

Abstract: The aphid Schlechtendalia chinensis (Bell) induces galls on its primary host, Rhus chinensis Mill. We studied temporal changes in gall and aphid clonal population size throughout the period of gall development. Gall-size changes occurred in four stages: a first slow growth period, a fast growth period, a second slow growth period, and a growth reduction period. Gall volume and surface area increased abruptly toward the end of July, peaking during October, in parallel with an increase in aphid clonal population… Show more

“…Although the biological characteristics of R. chinensis and its herbivore S. chinensis have been examined by different labs over the years 23 , 24 , at present, there are no genomic resources available for R. chinensis . A better understanding of the molecular underpinnings for tannin biosynthesis would potentially benefit the tannin industry, which is currently hampered by the lack of information available on transcriptional, proteomic, and genetic analyses of R. chinensis .…”

“…The three galling aphids in our study are host alternation, so they may readily acquire Wolbachia when they free-living on the secondary hosts by shared the same host mosses or attacked by parasitoid wasps which carried Wolbachia. All aphid samples of our study were collected from closed galls, so they are quite different in their living environments, natural enemy pressures and host plants compared to non-galling aphids 20,21,34 . This is probably the reason why they harbor Wolbachia strains or supergroups different to those in free-living aphids 3,4 .…”

“…chinensis is Rhus chinensis (Sumac tree) and the secondary host is Plagiomnium maximoviczii (moss). In early spring in China, sexuparae migrate from mosses to the trunk of Sumac trees to produce sexually reproductive females and males that subsequently mate to produce fundatrix, which feed on rachides wings and induce the formation of galls [ 16 , 17 ]. Within a gall, S .…”
