Abstract excerpt
The longevity of conidia of Neurospora crassa was previously defined as their ability to grow after aging in a constant environment. The heritable median lifespan of the wild type is 22 days. Heritable mutants with lifespans of 5-7 days were previously selected. The pleiotropic colony phenotype of the mutants greatly facilitates genetical analysis of their inheritance. Twenty-eight mutants were mapped by...
