Abstract excerpt
Previous work has shown that reduction-of-function mutations in the genes daf-2 and age-1 can increase adult life (Age phenotype) of Caenorhabditis elegans and that certain daf-12 alleles considerably amplify this effect in daf-2; daf-12 doubles. We have measured the light production potential (L...
