Tissue from Quercus castanea galls induced by Amphibolips michoacaensis and ungalled leaves
Quercus castanea
Two leaves at early developmental stage and seven galls during growth phase of development, were sampled. Galls of different size [7, 8, 11, 13, 18, 25 and 52 mm] were categorized as follows, Early growth: E, intermediate growth: I and late growth stage: L. Total RNA was extracted from galls and ungalled leaves, employing QIAGEN RNA kit protocol. From each gall, larva was extracted and a complete slice of gall tissues was employed to extraction
