The DM Domain Transcription Factor MAB-3 Regulates Male Hypersensitivity to Oxidative Stress in Caenorhabditis elegans
24 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Sex differences occur in most species and involve a variety of biological characteristics. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans consists of two sexes, self-fertile hermaphrodites (XX) and males (XO). Males differ from hermaphrodites in morphology, behavior, and life span. Here, we find that male C. elegans worms are much more sensitive than hermaphrodites to oxidative stress and show that the DM domain...
