Quantitative genetics of postponed aging in Drosophila melanogaster. I. Analysis of outbred populations.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1991

Hutchinson E W, Rose M R

Abstract excerpt

Selection has been used to create replicated outbred stocks of Drosophila melanogaster with increased longevity, increased later fecundity, and increased levels of physiological performance at later ages. The present study analyzed the quantitative transmission patterns of such stocks, employing extensive replication in numbers of stocks, individuals, and assayed characters. The populations used derived from five...
