Gene: natural death IR
natural death
locus: nd
locus_name: natural death
organism_type: B
chromosome_number: I
chromosome_side: R
link_group: IR
cultural_requirements: IR. Between the centromere (15%) and al-2 (20%) (981).Decreasing clonal growth potential under all nutritional conditions, followed by abrupt irreversible cessation of growth (707, 981). Hypersensitive to sorbose. Conidia die rapidly on slants at 4°C (707). Recessive in heterokaryons. An aged strain can be rejuvenated through heterokaryosis or by crossing to nd+. Extracts nontoxic (981). Used to examine hypotheses of senescence based on faulty protein synthesis (607) and lipid autoxidation with free-radical reactions (702). Stocks maintained in balanced heterokaryons. Initial growth rate of the original strain, 2.5 mm/h; however, nd progeny free of modifiers grow initially at 4.5 mm/h (wild-type rate) (707).
