Mutant heterozygotes in EcR live on mean 40%-50% longer than controls [12610309; reviewed in 12610294]. Homozygous mutants in EcR are inviable. The developmental time and weight of EcR+/- mutants is the same as control, but resistance to temperature, oxidative stress, and starvation is increased in heterozygotes [12610309].
Mean: +40 to +50
