We tested the effects of dietary restriction (DR) on the standard w(1118) strain as well as on our previously described Ra and La strains and their reciprocal isogenic 'cybrid' lines containing heterologous nuclear-mitochondrial combinations. The w(1118) and Ra strains, but neither the La strains nor their 'cybrid' derivatives, are DR-inducible. The Ra and La animals are more robust than the w(1118) animals, and...
