Funded Activity Summary

Sex and the dominant male determiner in Australia's true fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). A novel method to separate male and female embryos of the Queensland fruit fly will enable discovery of the molecular switch that causes embryos to change from the female to the male developmental pathway when they carry a Y chromosome. The results will lead to major improvements in the control of horticultural pest insects.
