- Observations
- Males heterozygous for the null esc4 or the dominant negative esc9 mutation that were progeny of an out-cross to an O-R wild-type strain had median life spans that were, respectively, 47% and 60% longer than the O-R control. When derived from an out-cross to a longer-lived C-S wild-type strain, heterozygous esc9 flies had a median life span that was 43% longer than the C-S control .
- % change in max lifespan
