Understanding the genetics of sex determination in insects and its relevance to genetic pest management

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
In insect sex determination pathways, the primary signals may vary within and between insect orders; however, the relay and terminal genes are more conserved. The upstream components of insect sex determination pathways ensure the downstream components are sex‐specifically spliced to regulate the development of male and female‐specific traits in a sex ...
