Cloning and functional characterization of the intersex homologous gene in the pest lepidopteron Maruca vitrata.

The International journal of developmental biology - 1 Jan 2009

Cavaliere Daniela, Di Cara Francesca, Polito Lino C, Digilio Filomena Anna

Abstract excerpt

The intersex (ix) gene works in concert with doublesex (dsx) at the bottom of the sex-determination hierarchy to control somatic sexual differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster females. Here we report the isolation and characterization of the Drosophila intersex (ix) homologue in the pest lepidopteron Maruca vitrata (Mvix). The Mvix gene exhibits major complexity with respect to the Drosophila homolog. It is...
