Phenotypically distinct female castes in honey bees are defined by alternative chromatin states during larval development.

Genome research - 1 Oct 2018

Abstract excerpt

The capacity of the honey bee to produce three phenotypically distinct organisms (two female castes; queens and sterile workers, and haploid male drones) from one genotype represents one of the most remarkable examples of developmental plasticity in any phylum. The queen-worker morphological and reproductive divide is environmentally controlled during post-embryonic development by differential feeding. Previous...
