Figure 2.

Comparison of the budding lifespan (a) and the total lifespan (b) of the haploid wild-type yeast strain BY4741, isogenic mutant strains lcl1Δ, lcl2Δ and bud1Δ (rho⁺ and rho°) and clones generates as daughters of an old mother. The values in parentheses are the mean values (for total 80 cells from two independent experiments) of the budding lifespan (a) and the total lifespan (b). Statistical significance was assessed using ANOVA and the Dunnett’s post-hoc test (*<0,01**p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001).
