Abstract excerpt
In the tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, sex is determined by genetic factors (XX/XY) but temperature can also influence the gonadal sex differentiation. Elevated temperatures of 35 degrees C can generate functional male phenotypes if applied before and during sexual differentiation. The genes and mechanisms by which temperature acts on the cascade leading to sex differentiation have been investigated. Two...
