A Hymenoptera-restricted gene mediating ant castes co-opts deeply conserved machinery to control organ size

Ruyan Li, Sha Song, Xiafang Zhang…·Guojie Zhang

The paper identifies a Hymenoptera-specific gene, torch, that controls caste-specific organ size by co-opting conserved Hippo signaling machinery across species.
