Molecular and cellular machinery of gonadal differentiation in mammals

Molecular and cellular machinery of gonadal differentiation in mammals.

The direction of gonadal development is established through the predominance of one of two sex-determining pathways in bipotential gonads. When Sry is expressed, the male pathway prevails and a series of prominent changes in morphology and function of the gonad lead to testis differentiation. In the absence of Sry, the female pathway gains control of gonadal development, resulting in a lack of ...

molecular and physiological characterizations of floral scent production in rosa damascena mill.

گل محمدی (r. damascena mill.)مهمترین گونه ای است که در تولید گلاب، عطر و اسانس، در صنعت عطرسازی و دارویی کاربرد دارد. با وجود اهمیت عطر گل محمدی، پژوهش های مولکولی و بیوشیمیایی عطر گل این گونه هنوز در مراحل ابتدایی است. در این پژوهش، ویژگی های مولکولی و فیزیولوژیکی تولید عطر در گل محمدی در آزمایش های مختلف مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. در آزمایش اول، پژوهشی به منظور بررسی تنوع شیمیایی اسانس میان 44 ت...

Sex determination and gonadal development in mammals.

Arguably the most defining moment in our lives is fertilization, the point at which we inherit either an X or a Y chromosome from our father. The profoundly different journeys of male and female life are thus decided by a genetic coin toss. These differences begin to unfold during fetal development, when the Y-chromosomal Sry ("sex-determining region Y") gene is activated in males and acts as a...

Effect of In ovo Injection of Tomato Extract on Sex Differentiation and Gonadal Structure of Broiler Chicks and Their Performance

   In-ovo injection of anti-aromatase compounds have been taken into consideration by researchers in order to achieve a higher male to female sex ratio, higher economic impact, higher growth rates and better feed conversion ratio in broiler industry.  This research was conducted to find out if in ovo injection of aqueous and alcoholic extract of tomato can affect sex differentiation, sex ratio,...
