Aging galls of O. robiniae on the R. pseudoacacia leaves. a Transverse, free hand section through the wall of aging gall; fresh material, no stained. Many chloroplasts are visible. Necrotic, dark stained and compact area (n) is located from the side of larval chamber (lc); Bar = 50 μm. b Chloroplasts are rich in starch (s); starch grains on this section are stained violet with Lugol liguid; Bar = 50 μM. c Inside the larval chamber, on the internal surface of the gall wall many hyphae are visible (f); Bar = 50 μM.
