Phenotypic plasticity throughout the Pristionchus pacificus life cycle and the gene regulatory network of feeding-structure development. (A) Alternative adult mouth forms in P. pacificus. Eu = eurystomatous, St = stenostomatous. (B) P. pacificus life cycle, including the alternative “indirect life cycle” via dauer development. Note the closed mouth morphology of dauer larvae. bp = buccal plug. (C) Modular gene regulatory network (GRN) controlling feeding-structure development in P. pacificus. (D) Phylogeny of all nhr genes encoded in the genomes of C. elegans and P. pacificus. Tree was re-drawn based on the data of Sieriebriennikov et al. [11]. The zoom-in indicates the location of the branch that harbors the three deeply conserved sister receptors NHR-1, NHR-10, and NHR-40
