摘 要:Sex reversal is one of the characteristic properties of sexual plasticity in bony fishes wherein both natural and induced sex change happens at various stages of life cycle in different *** determination in gonochoristic species is genetically regulated,wherein the same sex is retained throughout their life span whereas hermaphrodites change their sex during development or *** sequential hermaphrodites,serial sex change occurs at different points of life ***,synchronous hermaphrodites function as both the sexes during *** variables like temperature,pH and social factors can trigger sex reversal in *** reversal through gene mutations and chemicals/hormones,including sex steroids,can be induced mostly at early developmental stages but natural sex reversal can occur at any *** reversal mechanism shows morphological to molecular changes,which are ideal for identification of sex-specific gene *** fact,gonadal transdifferentiation occurs at the molecular level through differential expression of transcription factors and steroidogenic enzyme genes vis-a-vis hormones,thereby imparting phenotypic or structural *** addition,brain shows sexual dimorphism which is mostly consequential to gonadal sex development and occasionally either *** major breakthrough in this line is the identification of sex determining genes such as dmy/dmrt1Yb,gsdfY,sox3 in the Japanese medaka and amhY in Patagonian ***,the induction of mono-sex population by favouring one sex due to sex-specific differences in growth is an important economic boom for *** review comprehensively highlights key molecular factors involved in natural and induced sex reversal conditions to illustrate teleostean sexual plasticity and its application perspectives.
