Amradiplosis allahabadensis, an insect of order-Diptera induced galls on leaf of Mangifera indica. Quantitative estimation of phenolics and related enzymes in insect induced leaf galls of Mangifera indica were studied. The contents of total phenols, o-dihydroxy phenol, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities in leaf galls and normal counter parts of M. indica were measured. Total phenols, o-dihydroxy phenol and peroxidase were recorded higher in gall tissue while polyphenol oxidase activities were recorded higher in normal counter parts as compared to gall tissues.
