The number of fluorescence-positive GGCs observed in recipient embryos was not significantly different among the four possible sex combinations of exogenous GGCs and recipient embryos (P > 0.05). a, b The numbers of fluorescence-positive GGCs with different letters are significantly different between the left and right gonads of the recipient embryos at P < 0.05.
