Gonadal differentiation can take many forms in fish, ranging from gonochorism, where individuals directly develop as male or female and finally possess only testis or ovaries at sexual maturation, to hermaphroditism where the same individuals can produce mature male and female gametes at some time in their lives. Hermaphrodite fish are, thus, an excellent model for studying the plasticity of sex determination and differentiation in vertebrates. We have shown that sex steroids play a principal role in sex differentiation and sex change in fish. Our laboratory implements several fish models that undergo sex change from female to male or male to female or in both directions. In this review, we will briefly discuss recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism of sex change in coral reef fish.  相似文献   

阿蒂莫耶番荔枝人工授粉   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

阿蒂莫耶番荔枝(Axnona atemaya Hort)的花有雌蕊先熟现象。花药在傍晚6至8时裂开,人工授粉能提高座果率。其方法是用毛笔直接从花药自然裂开的花上取花粉并立即授在花药没裂开的花上,如果花药在授粉当日保持不裂开,3周后座果率为94.0％。如果花药在授粉后的短期内裂开,座果率为23.8％,与对照座果率(18.9％)没有差别,说明柱头容受性在花药裂开前的短期内完全消失。  相似文献
