Development of a Genetic Sexing Mechanism in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis Capitata for Isolation of Males in the Egg or Neonatal Larval Stage. Coordinated Programme on Development of Sexing Mechanisms in Fruit Flies Throu

摘要

The use of biochemical markers has allowed a sufficiently detailed evaluation of the genetic variability of the medfly; it has also fostered significant progress in the field of formal genetics. Chromosomal examinations have provided clues for interpreting genetical aspects of sex determination and of occasional recombination of linked factors in heterozygous males. The results obtained are considered a reliable basis for rewarding progress both in basic research and in applied programs. (Atomindex citation 16:002076)
