Oxidative stress resistance: a robust correlated response to selection in extended longevity lines of Drosophila melanogaster?
Stress resistance is associated with longevity in Drosophila melanogaster and other model organisms used for genetic research. The present study tests for oxidative stress resistance in one set of lines selected for late-life reproduction and extended longevity. Both females and males from the selected lines were appreciably more resistant to oxidative stress than were flies from the control li...
متن کاملRelationship between gender difference in longevity and oxidative stress response in Drosophila melanogaster
Our results clearly show that Dh pretreatment protected Drosophila from gamma radiation induced lethality (Figure 1) and increased survivability of Dh fed Drosophila compared to control group. Therefore, Dh pretreated flies exhibit more radiation tolerance/resistance than the control flies. Our study demonstrates the radio protective potential of the edible roots of Dh, which has implications i...
متن کاملSelection for longevity confers resistance to low-temperature stress in Drosophila melanogaster.
One theory of the evolution of longevity says that improvement in life span is dependent on an increased ability to resist environmental stresses of all kind. Selective breeding of Drosophila melanogaster populations for longevity has demonstrably increased life span and also altered a number of other traits, such as resistance to starvation, desiccation, and ethanol fumes, and the ability to s...
متن کاملLongevity and resistance to cold stress in cold-stress selected lines and their controls in Drosophila melanogaster
Thermal environments can influence many fitness-related traits including life span. Here, we assess whether longevity in Drosophila melanogaster can experimentally evolve as a correlated response to cold-stress selection, and whether genotype-by-temperature and sex-by-temperature interactions are significant components of variation in life span. Three replicated S lines were cold-stress selecte...
متن کاملBiotin deficiency decreases life span and fertility but increases stress resistance in Drosophila melanogaster.
Biotin deficiency is associated with fetal malformations and activation of cell survival pathways in mammals. In this study we determined whether biotin status affects life span, stress resistance, and fertility in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Male and female flies of the Canton-S strain had free access to diets containing 6.0 (control), 4.8, 2.5, or 0 pmol biotin/100 mg. Biotin conce...
