Sexual development in Lucilia cuprina (Diptera, Calliphoridae) is controlled by the transformer gene.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2009

Concha Carolina, Scott Maxwell J

Abstract excerpt

Insects use an amazing variety of genetic systems to control sexual development. A Y-linked male determining gene (M) controls sex in the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina, an important pest insect. In this study, we isolated the L. cuprina transformer (Lctra) and transformer2 (Lctra2) genes, which are potential targets of M. The LCTRA and LCTRA2 proteins are significantly more similar to homologs from...
