Genetic specification of life span and self-fertility in recombinant-inbred strains of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Heredity - 1 Aug 1991

Brooks A, Johnson T E

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of life-span and age-specific fertility has been analysed using recombinant-inbred strains of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Estimates of narrow-sense heritability range from 0.05 to 0.36 for life span and from 0.36 to 0.49 for total self-fertility. Positive phenotypic and genetic correlations for life span and total fertility were also observed, although in most cases the correlations...
