We investigated whether adult sex ratio (ASR) induces transgenerational plasticity in the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus via germline transmission or behavioral parental investment. Although varying ASR treatments significantly altered parental contest and courtship behaviors, utilizing a novel egg‐transplantation protocol revealed no ASR‐induced ...

Multiple Roles of Protamine Kinase SRPK1 and Phosphatase PP1γ in Sperm Development
ABSTRACT Protein phosphorylation regulates key events of male germ cell differentiation. In the testis, SRPK1 and PP1γ are involved in protamine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, respectively, and their deregulation is linked to defective chromatin structure and male infertility.
