Drosophila male Sex Peptide elicits an amazing variety of postmating responses in mated females, some of which are transmitted via a receptor on specific neurons of the female genital tract. New work shows that neurons expressing the sex-determination gene doublesex (dsx) play a pivotal role in the female postmating switch.
果蝇雄性性肽在交配后的雌蝇中引发了惊人多样的反应，其中一些是通过雌性生殖道特定神经元上的受体传递的。新的研究表明，表达性别决定基因 doublesex(dsx)的神经元在雌性交配后转变中起着关键作用。
