| Sumario: | Insect galls are the abnormal growth of plant tissues induced by a wide variety of galling insects and characterized by high concentrations of auxins and cytokinins. It remains unclear whether the auxins and cytokinins affect the bacterial community structure of insect galls. We determined the concentrations of indoleacetic acid (IAA) as an example of auxin, trans-zeatin riboside (tZR) and isopentenyladenine (iP) as cytokinins in <i>Lithosaphonecrus arcoverticus</i> (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) galls and the galled twigs of <i>Lithocarpus glaber</i> (Fagaceae) using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Moreover, for the first time, we compared the bacterial community structure of <i>L. arcoverticus</i> galls and galled twigs by high-throughput sequencing, and calculated the Spearman correlation and associated degree of significance between the IAA, tZR and iP concentrations and the bacterial community structure. Our results indicated the concentrations of IAA, tZR and iP were higher in <i>L. arcoverticus</i> galls than in galled twigs, and positively correlated with the bacterial community structure of <i>L. arcoverticus</i> galls. We suggest the high concentrations of IAA, tZR and iP may affect the bacterial community structure of <i>L. arcoverticus</i> galls. |
