Molecular mechanisms of secondary sexual trait development in insects.

Current opinion in insect science - 1 Oct 2016

Prakash Anupama, Monteiro Antónia

Abstract excerpt

Secondary sexual traits are those traits other than the primary gametes that distinguish the sexes of a species. The development of secondary sexual traits occurs when sexually dimorphic factors, that is, molecules differentially produced by primary sex determination systems in males and females, are integrated into the gene regulatory networks responsible for sexual trait development. In insects, these molecular...
