Wnt Signaling in Sexual Dimorphism.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2016

Deshpande Girish, Nouri Ali, Schedl Paul

Abstract excerpt

The embryonic gonad of Drosophila melanogaster begins to display sexually dimorphic traits soon after its formation. Here we demonstrate the involvement of a wnt family ligand, wnt-2, in the induction of these sex-specific differences. We show that wnt-2 contributes to the survival of a male-specific population of somatic gonadal precursor cells (SGPs), the male-specific SGPs that are located at the posterior of...
