Sexual Reproduction of Insects Is Regulated by Cytoplasmic Bacteria

Sexual Reproduction of Insects Is Regulated by Cytoplasmic Bacteria The effects have been considered that the intracellular symbiotic α-proteobacteria Wolbachia pipientis induces in its hosts, such as insects and other arthropods: cytoplasmic incompatibility upon mating, feminization, parthenogenesis, and androcide.

Abstract

The effects have been considered that the intracellular symbiotic α-proteobacteria Wolbachia pipientis induces in its hosts, such as insects and other arthropods: cytoplasmic incompatibility upon mating, feminization, parthenogenesis, and androcide. Specific features of the bacterium genome and possible mechanisms of its action on hosts are discussed.
