Abstract:

Abstract  Wing polyphenism is a common form of phenotypic plasticity observed in insects. In populations displaying wing polyphenism, individuals may exhibit either dispersal or reproduction morphs. Planthoppers and aphids, significant agricultural pests, serve as prominent model organisms for studying wing polyphenism. In this overview, we investigate recent advancements in understanding insect wing polyphenism, focusing on various factors such as IIS signaling, TOR signaling, Wnt signaling, endosymbionts, plant viruses, neuropeptides and neurotransmitters, and wing development. Furthermore, we offer insights into potential directions for future research and suggest the exploration of innovative pest control strategies based on the manipulation of wing polyphenism.
