摘要
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 generated by insertional mutagenesis. Life span of these strains was then measured. Surprisingly, both methods lead to the conclusion that a large number of genes (between 600 and 3000) can modulate life span. Among, the mutations that affect longevity, 50% increase life span and 50% diminish it.
