Understanding Transcription Factors and How They Affect Processes in Cucumber Sex Determination [PDF]
Metabolites, 2023 Plant reproduction is a fundamental process on Earth from the perspective of biodiversity, biomass gain, and crop productivity. It is therefore important to understand the sex determination process, and many researchers are investigating the molecular ...

Sex Determination and Differentiation in Teleost: Roles of Genetics, Environment, and Brain [PDF]
Biology, 2021 The fish reproductive system is a complex biological system. Nonetheless, reproductive organ development is conserved, which starts with sex determination and then sex differentiation.

Sex chromosome evolution mediated by a large inversion and a possible switch of the sex determination gene [PDF]
Genome BiologyBackground Sex chromosomes often evolve faster than autosomes and commonly degenerate after recombination arrest. However, the underlying evolutionary processes are under persistent debate. In particular, it is unclear whether or not recombination arrest

Exposure to Glyphosate and Chlorpyrifos Induces Oxidative Stress, Potentially Impacting Sex Determination in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
Journal of XenobioticsThe widespread use of pesticides in agriculture has increased their levels in water bodies, threatening aquatic ecosystems. Among these, glyphosate and chlorpyrifos are widely used in Mexico and can cause toxic effects even at low doses.

Whole-Genome Methylation Analysis of Female, Male, and Neomale Northern Pike (Esox lucius) [PDF]
AnimalsTo investigate the effect of epigenetic modifications on sex determination and differentiation in northern pike (Esox lucius), we employed Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) to analyze the DNA methylation patterns in gonadal tissues of females ...

Sex determination in honeybees: two separate mechanisms induce and maintain the female pathway. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2009 Organisms have evolved a bewildering diversity of mechanisms to generate the two sexes. The honeybee (Apis mellifera) employs an interesting system in which sex is determined by heterozygosity at a single locus (the Sex Determination Locus) harbouring ...

Evidence for a genetic sex determination in Cnidaria, the Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Sexual reproduction is widespread among eukaryotes, and the sex-determining processes vary greatly among species. While genetic sex determination (GSD) has been intensively described in bilaterian species, no example has yet been recorded among non ...

Comparative RNA-Seq Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes in the Testis and Ovary of Mudskipper, Boleophthalmus pectinirostris [PDF]
AnimalsSex determination and differentiation in teleosts are governed by complex genetic regulatory networks that include evolutionarily conserved mechanisms. In this study, we investigated Boleophthalmus pectinirostris, a Gobiidae species lacking heterogametic
