Non-canonical function of the <i>Sex-lethal</i> gene controls the protogyny phenotype in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2021-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Many animal species exhibit sex differences in the time period prior to reaching sexual maturity. However, the underlying mechanism for such biased maturation remains poorly understood. Females of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster eclose 4 h faster on average than males, owing to differences in the pupal period between the sexes; this characteristic is referred to as the protogyny phenotype. Here, we aimed to...
