Maternal-zygotic gene conflict over sex determination: effects of inbreeding.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2000

Werren J H, Hatcher M J

Abstract excerpt

There is growing evidence that sex determination in a wide range of organisms is determined by interactions between maternal-effect genes and zygotically expressing genes. Maternal-effect genes typically produce products (e.g., mRNA or proteins) that are placed into the egg during oogenesis and therefore depend upon maternal genotype. Here it is shown that maternal-effect and zygotic genes are subject to...
