The dice of fate: the csd gene and how its allelic composition regulates sexual development in the honey bee, Apis mellifera.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Oct 2004

Beye Martin

Abstract excerpt

Perhaps 20% of known animal species are haplodiploid: unfertilized haploid eggs develop into males and fertilized diploid eggs into females. Sex determination in such haplodiploid species does not rely on a difference in heteromorphic sex chromosome composition but the genetic basis has been elucidated in some hymenopteran insects (wasps, sawflies, ants, bees). In these species, the development into one sex or...
