Caenorhabditis elegans  can enter a diapause stage called “dauer” when it senses that the environment is not suitable for development. This implies a detour from the typical developmental trajectory and requires a tight control of the developmental clock and a massive tissue remodeling. In the last decades, core components of the signaling pathways that govern the dauer development decision have been identified, but the tissues where they function for the acquisition of dauer-specific traits are still under intense study. Growing evidence demonstrates that these pathways engage in complex cross-talk and feedback loops. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge regarding the transcriptional regulation of the dauer program and the relevant tissues for its achievement. A better understanding of this process will provide insight on how developmental plasticity is achieved and how development decisions are under a robust regulation to ensure an all-or-nothing response. Furthermore, this developmental decision can also serve as a simplified model for relevant developmental disorders.
