A sex-transformation gene in Drosophila melanogaster.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Fujihara T, Kawabe M, Oishi K

Abstract excerpt

A sex-transformation gene, tra-2OTF, of Drosophila melanogaster is described. The gene is an allele of tra-2 (transformer-2, 7--70+/-), acts only on XX individuals and transforms them into morphologically nearly normal but sterile males. Neither a male-specific lethal gene mle nor the male-killing maternally transmitted infectious SR-agent have any effect on the tra-2OTF transformed flies. External as well as...
