Mutations in two independent pathways are sufficient to create hermaphroditic nematodes.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 13 Nov 2009

Baldi Chris, Cho Soochin, Ellis Ronald E

Abstract excerpt

Although the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans produces self-fertile hermaphrodites, it descended from a male/female species, so hermaphroditism provides a model for the origin of novel traits. In the related species C. remanei, which has only male and female sexes, lowering the activity of tra-2 by RNA interference created XX animals that made spermatids as well as oocytes, but their spermatids could not activate...
