## Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations escalate with increasing age in higher organisms. However, it has so far been difficult to experimentally determine whether mtDNA mutation merely correlates with age or directly limits lifespan. A recent study shows that budding yeast can also lose fu
We have investigated the effects on Succliaronijxes cerevisirie of a novel antitumour agent (FCE245 17 or Tallimustine) which causes selective alkylations to adenines in the minor groove of DNA. Tallimustine, added to wild-type cells for short periods, reduced the growth rate and increased the perce
For a polyploid series of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains ranging from haploid to tetraploid we found that the critical cell size required to initiate a new cell division process was directly and linearly proportional to ploidy, but was not influenced by the information at the MAT locus which deter
