Increased longevity of kinetin‐fed Zaprionus fruitflies is accompanied by their reduced fecundity and enhanced catalase activity

Abstract

Kinetin, a cytokinin plant growth hormone, retards senescence in plants, delays aging in human cells in culture, slows down development of insects and prolongs their lifespan. We have now observed that the increased longevity of Kn‐fed Zaprionus fruitflies was accompanied by an increase in the specific activity of catalase during developmental stages and in adult insects. In addition, the egg laying capacity of Kn‐fed fruitflies was reduced drastically as compared with those kept on a normal diet. These results support the view that improved maintenance of the soma and prolongation of its life is achieved at the cost of decreased reproductive activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
