Abstract:Identifying the genetic mechanisms that translate information from the environment into developmental programs to control size, shape and color are important for gaining insights into adaptation to changing environments. Insect polyphenisms provide good models to study such mechanisms because environmental factors are the main source of trait variation. Here we studied the genetic mechanism that controls photoperiod-induced wing length polyphenism in the water striderGerris buenoi. By sequencing RNA sampled fr… Show more
