The maternal effect gene <i>Wds</i> controls <i>Wolbachia</i> titer in <i>Nasonia</i>

2018-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Maternal transmission of intracellular microbes is pivotal in establishing long-term, intimate symbioses. For germline microbes that exert negative reproductive effects on their hosts, selection can theoretically favor the spread of host genes that counteract the microbe’s harmful effects. Here, we leverage a major difference in bacterial ( Wolbachia pipientis ) titers between closely-related wa...
