Sex determination of germ cells in Drosophila.

Ciba Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 1994

Mahowald A P, Wei G

Abstract excerpt

Many lines of evidence indicate that in Drosophila the mechanism for establishing the sex of the female germline is different from that acting in somatic cells. In the soma Sxl has an embryonic determinative role and is required throughout the life of female flies; in germ cells its expression begins only in the larval ovary. Both the mechanism for activating Sxl and the genes controlled by Sxl are different in...
