Tissue specific dmrt1 (A) and sox9 (B) expression in adult lambari. Values are expressed as arbitrary units of both mRNA levels normalized against the expression levels of ef1a amplified from the same template and relative to the expression observed in female gonads (A) and to the average expression observed in gills of male and female (B). The asterisk indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) after a Student’s t test comparing the expression between male and female gonads.
