Improved survival at 37C. Dauer constitutive and longer lifespan at 28C. Reference: Hwang HY, et al. Front Genet. 2020 Oct 6;11:566948. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2020.566948. PMID: 33133151

Improvement in thermotolerance at 37C, though weaker than in null mutants. Longer lifespan than to tax-2(gk117937) null mutant. Higher frequency of dauer formation and survival at 28C than tax-2(gk117937) null mutant. Reference: Hwang HY, et al. Front Genet. 2020 Oct 6;11:566948. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2020.566948.
