Mutant larvae show greatly delayed larval growth.
sun2/+ female flies exhibit an extended lifespan compared with the parental strain (51% increase in average lifespan). At day 6, mortality is minimal for both parental and sun2/+ females. At day 30, the mortality rate diverges significantly between parental and sun2/+ females. No difference in ATP concentrations is observed between the parental and sun2/+ mutant females. As compared to the parental strain, sun2/+ females exhibit an increase in resistance to 20mM dietary paraquat (a free radical generator).
