How do germ cells choose their sex? Drosophila as a paradigm.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Aug 1992

Steinmann-Zwicky M

Abstract excerpt

Sex determination in the germ line may either rely on cell-autonomous genetic information, or it may be imposed during development by inductive somatic signals. In Drosophila, both mechanisms contribute to ensure that germ cells are oogenic when differentiating in females and spermatogenic when differentiating in males. Some of the genes that are involved in germ line sex determination have been identified. In...
