- Abstract
The article presents a study on Pleurodeles waltl, a species that displays a ZZ/ZW genetic mode of sex determination and a temperature-dependent mechanism of female-to-male sex reversal. It was found that the deduced protein segregates from the group of anuran and could be more closely associated with amniote. The results indicate that in Pleurodeles waltl, the SOX family of transcription factors could play a role during the late phase of gonad differentiation instead of sex determination.
