Strain Genotype Species Description
TM127 daf-2(e1370) III; sod-3(sj134) X. C. elegans High frequency of dauer formation under hyperoxia (90% oxygen) at 20C. Reference: Honda Y, Tanaka M, Honda S, (2008) Exp Gerontol 43:520-9.
TM151 sod-2(sj173) I; daf-2(e1370) III; sod-3(sj134) X. C. elegans Hypersensitive to Paraquat. Growth arrest under hyperoxia (90% oxygen) at any larval stage. Reference: Honda Y, Tanaka M, Honda S, (2008) Exp Gerontol 43:520-9.
TM185 daf-2(e1370) mev-1(kn1) III. C. elegans Daf-c. Maintain at 15C. Sensitive to hyperoxia and paraquot, comparable to mev-1(kn1) alone. High mutation rate. Extended lifespan measured after mid-adult stage is similar to daf-2(e1370) alone. High mortality rate in early adults. Reference: Honda Y, Tanaka M, Honda S. Exp Gerontol. 2008 Jun;43(6):520-9.
