Rotation of genitalia and spermiduct looping in tnc–IR and mysb13 males. (A) Image of a wild type male external genitalia (posterior view with dorsal upwards), showing the position of the anus and penis. The direction and extent of genitalia rotation is schematized by a looping arrow (bottom left). (B and C) Images of a representative tnc–IR and mysb13 males showing genitalia malrotation. (D) Schematic representation (Ádám et al., 2003) and (E) dissected wild type male abdomen showing the rightward (when viewed from the posterior) looping of the spermiduct. (F) Dissected tnc–IR male abdomen with under-rotation phenotype. sp, spermiduct; g, gut; p, penis.
