Abstract excerpt
We used both selection and single-gene mutagenesis studies to identify the mechanisms underlying the genetic control of longevity in Drosophila. The expression of the extended longevity phenotype (ELP) in our forward-selected strains depends on an early and specific upregulation of the antioxidant defense system (ADS) genes and enzymes, which results in decreased oxidative damage levels and a delayed onset of...
