Abstract excerpt
Recent genetic analyses of longevity in animals have revealed that long-lived strains are more tolerant to environmental stresses. To investigate whether extended longevity in Arabidopsis also correlates with an increase in stress tolerance, the response was tested of 11 late-flowering mutants to the superoxide radical-generating herbicide paraquat. A tight correlation between flowering time and paraquat...
