Hormones and Sex-Specific Transcription Factors Jointly Control Yolk Protein Synthesis in Musca domestica

Table 2

Expression of YP in a milieu with low ecdysteroids levels depends on the presence of Md-dsx^F products: (𝐧) number of adult flies tested for YP prod.

Genotype	Splice products of Md-dsx	Percentage of yolk producers	(𝑛)
𝑀^I/+ males	Md-dsx^F/Md-dsx^M	89.4%	47
𝑀^I/+ males + Md-tra2 RNAi	Md-dsx^M	3.4%	59
XY males	Md-dsx^M	0%	53
XY males + p[hs82::Md-dsx^F]	Md-dsx^F/Md-dsx^M	9.8%	162^a
