Genes that control longevity in Podospora anserina.

Mechanisms of ageing and development - 30 Sept 1996

Rossignol M, Silar P

Abstract excerpt

Two genetic methods were used to estimate the number of genes that potentially modulate longevity in the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina. First, life span of strains carrying mutations selected on criteria unrelated to senescence was measured. Second, strains bearing random mutations were g...
