New work reveals differences in oogenic gene expression between parthenogenetic and sexually reproducing Drosophila mercatorum strains. Recapitulating those changes in D. melanogaster oocytes induced parthenogenesis in this normally sexually reproducing species, providing molecular insight into how these reproductive modes arise.
新研究揭示了孤雌生殖和有性生殖的黑腹果蝇品系之间卵母细胞基因表达的差异。在通常进行有性生殖的黑腹果蝇卵母细胞中重现这些变化可诱导其孤雌生殖,为了解这些生殖方式的产生提供了分子见解。
