A <i>C. elegans</i> male pheromone feminizes germline gene expression in hermaphrodites and imposes life-history costs

2023-02-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4> A bstract </h4> Sex pheromones improve reproductive success, but also impose costs. Here we show that even brief exposure to physiological amounts of the dominant C. elegans male pheromone, ascr#10, alters the expression of thousands of genes in hermaphrodites. The most dramatic effect on the transcriptome was the upregulation of genes expressed during oogenesis and downregulation of genes associated with...
