摘要
Most vertebrates present two sexes,and females and males are determined via two diverse strategies including genotypic sex determination(GSD)and environmental sex determination(ESD)(Mei and Gui,2015;Ma et al.,2016).The most common form of ESD is temperature-dependent sex determination(TSD).Although several master sex-determining genes and their molecular pathways have been elucidated in vertebrates with GSD,the molecular mechanism underlying TSD remains unclear(Bachtrog et al.,2014;
Most vertebrates present two sexes, and females and males are determined via two diverse strategies including geno-typic sex determination （GSD） and environmental sex de-termination （ESD） （Mei and Gui, 2015; Ma et al., 2016）. The most common form of ESD is temperature-dependent sex determination （TSD）. Although several master sex-de-termining genes and their molecular pathways have been elucidated in vertebrates with GSD, the molecular mechan-ism underlying TSD remains unclear （Bachtrog et al., 2014; Capel, 2017）.
