When females produce sperm: genetics of C. elegans hermaphrodite reproductive choice.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 3 Oct 2013

Bahrami Adam K, Zhang Yun

Abstract excerpt

Reproductive behaviors have manifold consequences on evolutionary processes. Here, we explore mechanisms underlying female reproductive choice in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a species in which females have evolved the ability to produce their own self-fertilizing sperm, thereby allowing these "hermaphrodites" the strategic choice to self-reproduce or outcross with males. We report that hermaphrodites of...
