“…The general procedure for mapping autosomal male-determining factors, AM ,of Musca domestica (Inoue and Hiroyoshi 1984) makes use of a sex-transformation gene, F, marked with Ba, and thus enables one to locate any AM factor by means of female recombination.…”

“…Two novel fourth chromosomal male-determining factors, IVM, of the housefly were mapped using a modification of the general mapping procedure for autosomal male-determining factors, AM (Inoue and Hiroyoshi 1984). On the basis of meiotic female recombination frequencies, the same gene order Barl-ye-M was demonstrated for the two IVM chromosomes.…”

“…Earlier, two laborious approaches have been made to map the AM factors: one approach made use of exceptional male-recombinations (Inoue and Hiroyoshi 1982;Hiroyoshi, Fukumori and Inoue 1982) and the other employed both genetic and cytological analyses (Rubini and Franco 1972;Rovati et al 1983). Recently, we have developed an efficient procedure for mapping the AM factors, and have demonstrated that three IM, four JIM, twelve IIIM and three VM factors of different geographic origins are all located at a single or closely linked site(s) on the respective autosomes Inoue and Hiroyoshi 1984). Until recently, no IVM factors were known to exist.…”

Two novel fourth chromosomal male-determining factors, IVM, of the housefly were mapped using a modification of the general mapping procedure for autosomal male-determining factors, AM (Inoue and Hiroyoshi 1984). On the basis of meiotic female recombination frequencies, the same gene order Barl-ye-M was demonstrated for the two IVM chromosomes. On both chromosomes, male recombination took place although at exceedingly low frequencies. From a comparison between the female and the male recombination maps, it appears that, unlike other AM factors examined so far, the two IVM factors are not located near the centromere.

The multitude of sex determination mechanisms displayed in dipteran insects has usually been described in terms of variations on a single principle in which the primary signal of the primitive pathway consists of a single allelic difference at one locus. Evolution of sex determination mechanisms is thought to have occurred by the addition of genes below the top gene of the pathway. The elucidation of the complex sex determination pathway of Drosophila melanogaster, as well as recent evidence that the basal genes of the pathway seem to be conserved across metazoan genera both in structure and, to a lesser degree, in function, points towards the possibility that sex determination pathways may have evolved from the bottom-up. Further to this is the question of whether the dominant male-determining factor, M, which is found in a number of insect species, represents part of the ancient sex determination pathway or is a later addition to the pathway. This, together with the possibility that the M factors found in numerous dipteran insect species may have a common origin, is discussed. The similarities of the sex determination pathways under the control of M and the implications in relation to the construction of genetic sexing strains for biological control are also discussed.

In Musca domestica, the primary signal for sex determination is the dominant factor M, which is assumed to regulate a postulated female-determining gene F. Presence of M prevents expression of F so that male development ensues. In the absence of M, F can become active, which dictates the female pathway. The existence of F is inferred from FD, a dominant factor that is epistatic to M. We describe a new mutation masculinizer, which has all the properties expected for a null or strongly hypomorphic allele of F: (1) it maps to the same chromosomal location as FD, (2) homozygous man/man animals develop as males, (3) homozygous man/man clones generated in man/+ female larvae differentiate male structures, (4) man has a sex-determining maternal effect. About a third of the morphological males synthesize yolk proteins, which indicates that they are intersexual in internal structures. The maternal effect of man is complete in offspring that derive from homozygous man/man pole cells transplanted into female hosts. In this case, all man/+ progeny become fertile males that do not produce yolk proteins. A sex-determining maternal effect has previously been demonstrated for FD. Like F, maternal man + is needed for zygotic man + to become active, providing further evidence that man is a loss-of-function allele of F.
