Changes in tannin concentrations in galls and leaves over the course of gallnut growth. (A) The fundatrix feeds on the winged rachides and initiates gall formation, the arrow pointing the location of early stage of gall on the leaf; (B) hundreds of aphids inside horned gall stimulating the gall growing constantly, the arrow pointing the individual aphid; (C) the change trend of two kinds of tannin contents in gall and in leaves with the growth of gallnut. The horizontal coordinates are the dry weight percentage of tannins; the vertical coordinates are different developmental stage of gallnut from June 21 to October 12.
