The transcription factor Zfh1 acts as a wing-morph switch in planthoppers

The molecular mechanisms underlying wing polyphenism remain poorly understood. Here the authors use plant hoppers to show that the development of long and short wing morphs is balanced by the relative activities of the Zfh1-FoxO and insulin signaling cascades.
