Genetic network underlying temperature‐dependent sex determination is endogenously regulated by temperature in isolated cultured <i>Trachemys scripta</i> gonads
16 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
In reptiles with temperature-dependent sex determination, gonadogenesis is initially directed by the incubation temperature of the egg during the middle third of embryonic development. The mechanism by which temperature is transduced into a sex-determining molecular signal remains a mystery, and here we examine the molecular network underlying sex determination in gonads in vitro. We use a whole organ culture...
