Genes inhibiting senescence in the ascomycete Podospora anserina

K Esser et al. Mol Gen Genet. .

Abstract

Senescence occurs in all wild strains of Podospora anserina after continued growth. This syndrome can be inhibited by a synergistic interaction of two linked genes, incoloris and vivax. Whereas the wild strain starts to become senescent after 26 d and the mutants incoloris and vivax after 42 and 66 d respectively, the double mutant shows no signs of aging after culture for more than one year.
