Aging: the fitness-stress continuum and genetic variability.

Experimental aging research - 1 Jan 2000

Parsons Peter A

Abstract excerpt

Assuming the stress theory of aging, longevity depends upon primary selection for stress resistance and metabolic efficiency. Predominantly based upon experimental studies in the insect Drosophila melanogaster, high genetic variability for fitness, especially mortality, occurs under extreme stress. Isofemale strains derived from the progeny of recently collected single inseminated Drosophila females from the wild...
