Fungi do not show the same pattern of organismal birth and death shown by animals. For
one thing, the concept of organism is not as clear in fungi as it is in animals and plants. The …

In Podospora anserina senescence leading to cellular death occurs regularly after
prolonged vegetative propagation. However, the life span of this ascomycete may be …

The onset of senescence, ie decrease of growth rate followed by cellular death, is prevented
when inhibitors of mitochondrial function (ethidiumbromide, streptomycin, tiamulin) are …

Aging of post-mitotic cells, the conidia, of Neurospora crassa is defined as the time-
dependent loss of viability under a constant laboratory environment which probably …

A recessive mutant of Neurospora crassa, called natural-death, is characterized by a
decreasing clonal growth potential under all nutritional conditions and the irreversible …

Aging is a fundamental biological phenomenon that is found in virtually all living beings. It is
characterized by degenerations at different levels which finally lead to death. Although the …

A method is described by means of which it is possible to separate phenotypic changes
caused by nuclear mutation from those caused by changes in the cytoplasm, using the …

A sample of 171 natural isolates of Neurospora crassa and Neurospora intermedia was
tested for senescence. Of these, 28 strains senesced within the duration of the experiment …

Individuals of the basidiomycete fungus Armillaria are well known for their ability to spread
from woody substrate to substrate on the forest floor through the growth of rhizomorphs …

It is now ahnost one hundred years since Klebs (1986) laid the foundation of a scientific
