<strong>Symbiont-mediated Cytoplasmic Incompatibility:</strong><strong>What Have We Learned in 50 years?</strong>
2020-09-11
Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common symbiont-induced reproductive manipulation. Specifically, symbiont-induced sperm modifications cause catastrophic mitotic defects in the fertilized embryo and ensuing lethality in crosses between symbiotic males and either aposymbiotic females or females harboring a different symbiont strain.
