MicroRNA-133 inhibits behavioral aggregation by controlling dopamine synthesis in locusts.

PLoS genetics - 1 Feb 2014

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity is ubiquitous and primarily controlled by interactions between environmental and genetic factors. The migratory locust, a worldwide pest, exhibits pronounced phenotypic plasticity, which is a population density-dependent transition that occurs between the gregarious and solitary phases. Genes involved in dopamine synthesis have been shown to regulate the phase transition of locusts. However,...
