The Molecular and Genetic Mechanisms of Sex Determination in Poplar
Abstract —The study of molecular and genetic mechanisms of sex determination in the poplar is of interest not only in the fundamental science, but...

XY sex determination in a cnidarian
BackgroundSex determination occurs across animal species, but most of our knowledge about its mechanisms comes from only a handful of bilaterian...

Sex determination mechanisms and sex control approaches in aquaculture animals
Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals...

Evolution of sex determination in crustaceans
Sex determination (SD) involves mechanisms that determine whether an individual will develop into a male, female, or in rare cases, hermaphrodite....

When does the female bias arise? Insights from the sex determination cascade of a flea beetle with a strongly skewed sex ratio
Reproduction-manipulating bacteria like Wolbachia can shift sex ratios in insects towards females, but skewed sex ratios may also arise from genetic...

Gonadal transcriptomes reveal sex-biased expression genes associated with sex determination and differentiation in red-tail catfish (Hemibagrus wyckioides)
BackgroundRed-tail catfish ( Hemibagrus wyckioides ) is an important commercially farmed catfish in southern China. Males of red-tail catfish grow...

Wolbachia titers are relate to sex determination of Trichogramma pretiosum
Once infected with parthenogenesis inducing (PI) Wolbachia , the reproductive mode of Trichogramma pretiosum would change from bisexual to thelytokous...
