The goldenrod gall fly (or Eurosta solidaginis) is a parasite whose life depends upon and revolves around the goldenrod plant. After mating, the female gall fly uses its ovipositor (structure used to inject eggs into a plant) to insert its eggs into the stem of a goldenrod plant. After about ten days, the fly larvae hatch and begin to eat the inside of the plant. The saliva of the larva contains a chemical that causes the plant to swell, creating what is known as a gall; this serves as a food source and a protective shell for the growing larva. When fall approaches, the larva digs an escape tunnel by which it will later exit the gall as an adult; however, the larva does not complete the tunnel, instead it leaves a thin membrane of plant material for protection (Abrahamson & Heinrich, n.d.). E. solidaginis larvae then pupate in late winter or early spring, and leave the gall as adults soon afterwards (Abrahamson, Sattler, McCrea, & Weis, 1989). Once freed from the gall,

In my research paper, I will attempt to determine how the perception of light in phytochromes plays a role in the development of plants. Specifically, I will look at how phytochromes play a role in the growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana. The paper will also look at how light perception plays a role in phototropism and the immune systems of a plant. Finally, my paper will explore how changing light conditions impact perception in phytochromes.

If plants didn’t have chloroplast, life as we know it would not be here. We would all die because we could not get energy from the sun. We get our energy from the sun by either from eating plants or eating animals that eat the plants that get there energy from the sun. The chloroplasts are responsible for harvesting and turning sunlight into energy. Another reason we would all be dead is because plants give us oxygen and if we did not have oxygen we could all get carbon dioxide poisoning.

Larvae defoliate and reduce the yield, quality and stand health, young larvae feed on terminal buds while larger larval feed on the leaflets of plants.

This paper was about the bidirectional anatomical effects of mistletoe-host the sweet gum tree (L. styraciflua) and the Mexican royal oak (Q. germana). The main reason that the researchers wanted to do this study was because while multiple studies have been completed on how a parasite effects the host little has been done to study the effect of the host on the parasite. The researchers used standard techniques for light and transmission electron microscopes to study the effect of mistletoe on the sweet gum tree and the Mexican royal oak and vice versa. The key results for this paper were as follows, the

The air here is always carrying a thick blanket of moisture. Some of the towns people hate it, but I cannot think of anything more comforting. Its best when you venture deep in the forest; there it is so tangible, like it is its own person. My mom used to tell me that is what God feels like, always embracing. After she said that I made more trips into the wilderness; both sides. My town, the only place i grew up in, is called willowdale. It's on the coast and runs right along the 2 climates of Eukaryo: tropical and Temperate Coniferous Forests. They both are pretty enchanting, but i have to say the amount of enchantment is favored by certain parts of the day. I have figured out the best times to be on the sides. When the sun is right over

The report states that, when seen under light microscopy it is revealed that Harmonia carries abundant amount of obligate parasitic microsporidia in its blood stream. This parasitic microsporidia replicates inside the cell after

The photomorphogenic responses were that the no light plants experienced phototropism, however the no light plants magnitude of curvature far exceeded the light plants. This was evident in the curved, elongated shape they displayed. This study also helped to identify etiolated characteristics in the no light plant, from its physical weakness in the stem, a lower forming internode, and no chlorophyll present in its brittle, under-formed, leaves. In comparison, the light induced plant was much stronger, chlorophyll was evident The no light plant demonstrates that in order for a plant to thrive with enough enzymes, sugars and chlorophyll and to gain nourishment it needs light (Holt, 1995). According to (Curtis, 1903) ‘Nearly all plants will endure a surprising amount of stimulation, to enable them to accomplish morphological differentiation that is associated with light’. In saying this, it was observed the etiolated plant grew at fast speeds, however the plant had different priorities to that of the light induced

Two main types of parasitic plants can be identified, are stem parasites and root parasites. Stem parasites occur in several families, and pathogenic members include some mistletoes and dodder. Root parasites are more
