Intragenomic conflict associated with extreme phenotypic plasticity in queen-worker caste determination in honey bees (Apis mellifera).

Genome biology - 18 Jun 2025

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Caste determination of honey bees (Apis mellifera) exemplifies developmental plasticity, where differences in larval diet result in identical genotypes yielding either long-lived, reproductive queens or short-lived, facultatively sterile workers. Beyond environmental factors, intragenomic conflict between genes inherited from the mother (matrigenes) versus the father (patrigenes) is hypothesized to...
