Journal ArticleDOI
Senescence in podospora anserina: Amplification of a mitochondrial DNA sequence
TL;DR: Using the Southern hybridization technique, it is demonstrated that this SEN-DNA results from the amplication of a sequence of the mitochondrial chromosome, which resembles the process leading to rho- ("petite") mutations in yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial DNA amplification in senescent cultures of Podospora anserina : Variability between the retained, amplified sequences
TL;DR: Electron microscopy, restriction enzyme analysis and Southern hybridization experiments allowed us to establish that SEN-DNAs obtained from independent senescent cultures, both from the same strain and from different strains, can differ in the size of their monomer unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
A sequence of mitochondrial DNA is associated with the onset of senescence in a fungus.
TL;DR: The results suggest that excision and/or amplification of the 2.6 kb sequence is the cause of senescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of the alternative oxidase restores senescence and fertility in a long-lived respiration-deficient mutant of Podospora anserina.
TL;DR: In contrast, overexpression of the alternative oxidase in the long‐lived cox5::BLE mutant, deficient in cytochrome c oxidase, considerably increases ROS production of the mutant, indicating an improved energy level.
Journal ArticleDOI
A site-specific deletion in mitochondrial DNA of Podospora is under the control of nuclear genes.
TL;DR: In the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina, the association of two nuclear genes inevitably leads to a "premature death" phenotype consisting of an early end of vegetative growth a few days after ascospore germination.
