Genetic evidence that the ovo locus is involved in Drosophila germ line sex determination.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1990

Oliver B, Pauli D, Mahowald A P

Abstract excerpt

Zygotically contributed ovo gene product is required for the survival of female germ cells in Drosophila melanogaster. Trans-allelic combinations of weak and dominant ovo mutations (ovoD) result in viable germ cells that appear to be partially transformed from female to male sexual identity. The ovoD2 mutation is partially suppressed by many Sex-lethal alleles that affect the soma, while those that affect only...
