Resumen:
Intact healthy twigs of Quercus suber were compared anatomically with twigs containing larval chambers of the gall wasp Plagiotrochus suberi using different staining techniques. A reorganisation of the tissues close to the larval chamber was found. The most important histological modifications in this zone are the presence of abnormal vessels, a higher frequency of tannin cell bundles, a higher number of cells with lipid inclusions, a highly disorganized cellular structure of the epidermis and subepidermal cortical tissues and the presence of pluriestratified epidermal invaginations. All these peculiarities are commented, compared and discussed.
