Putative pathway of temperature-induced sex reversal of XX females towards phenotypic males taking Nile tilapia as an example. Relationships drawn with solid lines are reported/ demonstrated; dotted lines are putative pathways; arrows indicate up-regulations and lines with dots indicate down-regulations; MPT: male-producing temperature; TSP: thermosensitive period of gonads; DPH: days post-hatching; dmrt1: doublesex- and Mab-3-related transcription factor 1 gene; amh: anti-müllerian hormone gene; sox9: sry-related HMG-box protein 9 gene; foxl2: forkhead transcriptional factor L2 gene; cyp19a1a: ovarian aromatase gene; data refer to D'Cotta et al. [123], Ijiri et al. [73], Baroiller et al. [5] and Wang et al. [139, 144].
