Resumen
El díptero cecidómido Neolasioptera tridentifera Kieffer & Jörgensen, (Cecidomyiinae: Alycaulini) desarrolla agallas en los tallos de heliotropo Heliotropium curassavicum L. (Boraginales: Heliotropiaceae). En inspecciones a campo, se encontró micelio fúngico junto con el inductor en el interior de la cámara larval de las agallas. En este trabajo se examinan los aspectos morfológicos de la agalla madura, la estrategia de vida del inductor y se realiza un primer acercamiento a la identificación del micelio. El estudio se llevó a cabo sobre agallas colectadas en la Laguna Don Tomás, Santa Rosa, La Pampa. Mediante preparados microscópicos se examinó la anatomía de la agalla. En cada estación anual, se realizaron inspecciones a campo de las plantas y se realizó la disección de agallas para investigar la estrategia de vida. El estudio del micelio fúngico fue realizado sobre muestras extraídas del interior de la agalla. La agalla caulinar es tipo fusiforme y globoide, en general, unilarval, la cámara larval a modo de túnel se desarrolla en la médula parenquimática, y la pared de la cámara está tapizada por micelio fúngico. El hongo más abundante obtenido es una especie del género Botryosphaeria (Dothideomycetes: Ascomycota). En el área de estudio, las partes aéreas de las plantas de heliotropo mueren con las heladas y las agallas permanecen sujetas a la planta, sobre la superficie del suelo y semienterradas, con la larva III en su interior. Acorde a esto, la estrategia de vida del inductor es tipo IB. En este trabajo, se constata por primera vez que Neolasioptera tridentifera induce agallas ambrosía en Heliotropium curassavicum y se registra la presencia de una comunidad fúngica asociada, siendo una especie del género Botryosphaeria la de mayor frecuencia.
The cecidomyiid dipteran Neolasioptera tridentifera Kieffer & Jörgensen (Cecidomyiinae: Alycaulini) develops galls on the stems of heliotrope Heliotropium curassavicum L. (Boraginales: Heliotropiaceae). In field inspections, fungal mycelium was found together with the inducer inside the larval chamber of the galls. In this work, the morphological aspects of mature gall, the inducer's life strategy, and a first approach to the identification of mycelium are examined. The study was conducted on galls collected in Laguna Don Tomás, Santa Rosa, La Pampa. The anatomy of the gall was examined using microscopic preparations. In each season of the year, field inspections of the plants were carried out and gall dissections were carried out to investigate the life strategy. The study of the fungal mycelium was performed on samples extracted from the interior of the gall. The stem gall is fusiform and globoid, generally unilarval; the tunnel-like larval chamber develops in the parenchymal medulla, and the wall of the chamber is lined with fungal mycelium. The most abundant fungus obtained is a species of the genus Botryosphaeria (Dothideomycetes: Ascomycota). In the study area, the aerial parts of heliotrope plants die with frost and the galls remain attached to the plant, above the soil surface and half-buried, with third-instar larva inside. According to this, the inducer’s life strategy is type IB. In this work, it is reported for the first time that Neolasioptera tridentifera induces an ambrosia gall on Heliotropium curassavicum, and the presence of an associated fungal community is recorded, with a species of the genus Botryosphaeria being the most frequent.
