Apiology: royal secrets in the queen's fat body.

Current biology : CB - 12 Jul 2011

Yamanaka Naoki, O'Connor Michael B

Abstract excerpt

Royalactin, a component of royal jelly, induces queen differentiation in honeybees. Surprisingly, royalactin has a similar effect on growth in fruit flies, highlighting many unexpected features of growth regulation by the insect fat tissue.
