Identification of sex determination genes and their evolution in Phlebotominae sand flies (Diptera, Nematocera).

abstract：BACKGROUND:For centuries roses have been selected based on a number of traits. Little information exists on the genetic and molecular basis that contributes to these traits, mainly because information on expressed genes for this economically important ornamental plant is scarce. RESULTS:Here, we used a combination of ...
