Inducing Sex Reversal in Marsupial Mammals.
Marsupials are born with undifferentiated gonads, and their reproductive organs differentiate consecutively, not simultaneously as in eutherian mammals. Thus, in the main marsupial model, the tammar wallaby, Macropus eugenii, the testis forms cords 2 days after birth, the ovary develops cortex and medulla about 8 days after birth, the Wolffian duct enlarges from day 10, the prostate begins to form prostatic buds about 25 days after birth, and the phallus does not become sexually dimorphic until after 50 days postpartum (pp). The brain responses also become sexually dimorphic relatively late in development, after day 25 pp. This relatively elongated period of differentiation has allowed experimental manipulation at each stage of development to induce often dramatic sex reversal of both internal and external genitalia.
