Opposite Sex Determination of Gonads in Two Pleurodeles Species May Be Due to a Temperature-Dependent Inactivation of Sex Chromosomes
1995
Journal of Heredity
In the urodele amphibians Pleurodeles waltl and Pleurodeles polretl, a rise from 20°C to 30°C-32°C of rearing temperature of larvae, when their gonads are still undlfferentiated, leads to sex reversal: the primordial gonads differentiate Into testes in P. waltl ZW genotypic females and Into ovaries In P. polreti ZZ genotyplc males. In both cases, sex-reversed gonads produce fertile spermatozoa or oocytes. On the basis of results from Intra-and interspecific crosses, we conclude that sex
