Abstract excerpt
Conidial survival was measured after incubation in white light at 30 degrees C and 85-100% relative humidity. The heritable median lifespan (MLS) of the wild-type ( age0 ) was 22 days. Spontaneous short-lived mutants (age-) with MLS about 7 days occurred among both sexual and asexual progeny of wild-type at a frequency of about 10%. Radiation of conidia with near ultraviolet light increased the mutation frequency...
