Genetic control of sex determination in the germ line and soma of the housefly, Musca domestica.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Sept 1994

Hilfiker-Kleiner D, Dübendorfer A, Hilfiker A, Nöthiger R

Abstract excerpt

In Musca domestica, sex in the soma is cell autonomously determined by the male-determiner M, or by the female-determiner FD. Transplanted pole cells (precursors of the germ line) show that sex determination of germ cells is non-autonomous genotypically male pole cells form functional eggs in female hosts, and genotypically female pole cells form functional sperm in male hosts. When M/+ cells undergo oogenesis, a...
