To analyze the relationship between resistance to oxidative stress and longevity, we isolated three novel paraquat-resistant mutants, mev-5, mev-6, and mev-7, from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. They all showed the Dyf (defective in dye filling) phenotype, but not always resistance to heat or UV. Life-span extension was observed only in the mev-5 mutant at 26 degrees C. These results indicate that longevity is uncoupled with the phenotype of paraquat resistance.
为了分析抗氧化应激能力与寿命之间的关系,我们从秀丽隐杆线虫中分离出了三个新的百草枯抗性突变体,即mev-5、mev-6和mev-7。它们均表现出Dyf(染料填充缺陷)表型,但并非总是耐热或耐紫外线。仅在26摄氏度下观察到mev-5突变体的寿命延长。这些结果表明,寿命与百草枯抗性表型无关。
