Sex determination in mythology and history [PDF]

, 2005
The history of ideas on how the sexes became divided spans at least three thousand years. The biblical account of the origin of Eve, and the opinions of the philosophers of classical Greece, have unexpected bearings on present-day ideas.

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 ...

The Y chromosome sequence of the channel catfish suggests novel sex determination mechanisms in teleost fish

BMC Biology, 2019
Background Sex determination mechanisms in teleost fish broadly differ from mammals and birds, with sex chromosomes that are far less differentiated and recombination often occurring along the length of the X and Y chromosomes, posing major challenges ...

FGF9 and WNT4 act as antagonistic signals to regulate mammalian sex determination [PDF]

, 2006
The genes encoding members of the wingless-related MMTV integration site (WNT) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) families coordinate growth, morphogenesis, and differentiation in many fields of cells during development.

Impact of Climate Change on Regulation of Genes Involved in Sex Determination and Fruit Production in Cucumber

Plants, 2023
Environmental changes, both natural and anthropogenic, mainly related to rising temperatures and water scarcity, are clearly visible around the world. Climate change is important for crop production and is a major issue for the growth and productivity of

Pattern Does Not Equal Process: Exactly When Is Sex Environmentally Determined?

The American Naturalist, 2003
Of prime importance in evolutionary biology are the description of pattern and explanations of process. Frequently, however, multiple processes can explain a given pattern. Such cases require experimental protocols or research criteria to distinguish among alternatives so pattern can be critically assigned to process.

Sex determination in the Squalius alburnoides complex: an initial characterization of sex cascade elements in the context of a hybrid polyploid genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Sex determination processes vary widely among different vertebrate taxa, but no group offers as much diversity for the study of the evolution of sex determination as teleost fish. However, the knowledge about sex determination gene cascades is

A transgenerational endocrine signaling pathway in Crustacea. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Environmental signals to maternal organisms can result in developmental alterations in progeny. One such example is environmental sex determination in Branchiopod crustaceans.
