Dose-dependent role of AMH and AMHR2 signaling in male differentiation and regulation of sex determination in Spotted knifejaw (Oplegnathus punctatus) with X1X1X2X2/X1X2Y chromosome system

Abstract excerpt

Y) remains enigmatic. Through an examination of sex-related genes (dmrt1, hsd11b2, amh, sox9a, sox9b, foxl2, cyp19a), hormonal influences (E2, 11-KT), and histological analyses of gonadal development, we demonstrate that the critical period for sexual differentiation occurs between 35 to 60 days post-hatching (dph). Our multi-omics analysis identified amhr2 as a candidate sex-determining gene, revealing that the...
