Abstract excerpt
We have shown that senescence in Kalilo strains of Neurospora, caused by a linear mitochondrial plasmid called kalDNA, is suppressible by existing variants of the nuclear genome. The suppressors are manifested by 4:4 segregation of senescence and immortality in asci from crosses between senescent...
