Steroid signaling controls sex-specific development in an invertebrate
2023-12-23
Abstract excerpt
In vertebrate sexual development, two important steroid hormones, testosterone and estrogen, regu-late the sex-specific development of many tissues. In contrast, invertebrates utilize a single steroid hormone, ecdysone, to regulate developmental timing in both sexes. However, here we show that in Drosophila melanogaster, sex-specific ecdysone (E) signaling controls important aspects of gonad sexual dimorphism. Rat...
