Abstract
- The mechanism of symbiont-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) has been a long-standing mystery. A new study on Wolbachia’s Cif proteins in PLOS Biology provides supportive evidence for the “Host modification model,” although the alternative “Toxin–antidote model” is still in the running. The mechanism of symbiont-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility has been a long-lasting mystery. This Primer explores a new study on Wolbachia’s Cif proteins in PLOS Biology that provides supportive evidence for the “Host-Modification Model,” although the alternative “Toxin-Antidote Model” is still in the running.
