Genetic and environmental factors regulating the expression of an extended longevity phenotype in a long lived strain of Drosophila.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1993

Arking R, Dudas S P, Baker G T

Abstract excerpt

We have demonstrated that the expression of the ELP in our strains is the outcome of a genetically determined, environmentally modulated, event dependent, developmental process. Given the appropriate genetic and environmental conditions, we observe an early acting temporal progression of alterati...
