| mld heterozygous mutation | Female, but not male, heterozygous mutants display a 42% increase in mean lifespan at 29 degrees Celsius. DTS-3 +/- female adults exhibit a 50% reduced ecdysone titer and reduced fertility [12610309]. Female, but not male, heterozygoutes also exhibit a temperature-dependent increase in starvation resistance. | Fly | +42 | — | — |

| Heterzygous Rpd3 null mutation | Males heterozygous for a null mutation of Rpd3 have a lifespan extension of 41 - 47%. Females carrying a null mutation have only modest increase in maximum lifespan (but not median lifespan). Longevity increases to the same extent in wild-type under low-calorie diet and rpd3 mutants fed normal diet. DR fails to further increase lifespan of rpd3 mutants [12459580]. | Fly | +41 to +47 | — | — |
| EcR mutation | 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]. | Fly | +40 to +50 | — | — |
| mth mutation | Mutants in mth display approximately 35% and 36% increase in average and maximum lifespan as well as enhanced resistance to various forms of stress (including starvation, high temperature, and dietary paraquat) [9794765]. | Fly | +35 | — | +36 |
| Heterozygous hypomorphic Rpd3 mutation | Males heterozygous for hypomorphic (partial loss-of-function) mutation of Rpd3 have a lifespan extension of 33%. Females heterozygous for a hypomorphic allele have a 52% increase in lifespan. Longevity increases to the same extent in wild-type under low-calorie diet and rpd3 mutants fed normal diet [12459580]. | Fly | +33 to 52 | — | — |
| p53 dominant negative overexpression | Expression of dominant-negative versions of p53 in adult neurons extends lifespan by 58% in females and by 32% in males and increases resistance to genotoxic stress and resistance to oxidative stress, but not to starvation or heat stress, while not affecting egg production or physical activity. Dominant negative Dmp53 expression cancels out lifespan extension effect of DR, low calorie-food (5% SY). Muscle or fat body specific expression of a dominant negative form of Dmp53 as well as globally lack of Dmp53 decreases lifespan [16303568].
Expression of dominant-negative (DN) form of p53 in adult neurons, but not in muscle or fat body cells, extends median lifespan by 19% and maximum lifespan by 8%. The lifespan of dietary-restricted flies is not further extended by simultaneously expressing DN-DMp53 in the nervous system, indicating that a decrease in Dmp53 activity may be part of the DR lifespan-extending effect. Selective expression of DN-Dmp53 in only the 14 insulin-producing cell (IPCs) in the brain extends lifespan to the same extent as expression in all neurons and this lifespan extension is not additive with DR [17686972].

| Gr63a mutation | Gr63a loss-of-function in female flies leads to 30% extended mean lifespan, increased fat deposition, and enhanced resistance to some (but not all) environmental stresses. Lifespan of males is not extended [20422037]. | Fly | +30 | — | — |
| Bam mutation | Bam mutants have an extended lifespan due to germ cell loss. Lifespan of females is on average up to 50% higher and that of males on average s up to 27.8% higher [18434551]. | Fly | +27.8 to +50 | — | — |
| 14-3-3epsilon mutation | Loss of 14-3-3ε results in increased stress-induced apoptosis, growth repression and extended lifespan of flies, in a foxo-dependent manner. Mean lifespan of males and females is increased by 25% and 49%, respectively. Increased 14-3-3ε expression also reverts foxo-induced growth defects. No effect of lifespan is observed when overexpressing 14-3-3ε in adipose tissue, indicating that endogenous foxo activity in this tissue is low under normal conditions [18665908]. | Fly | +25 to +49 | — | — |
| alpha-Man-I mutation | alpha-Man-I mutant fly exhibit enhanced resistance to paraquat and starvation an a 60% increase in mean lifespan for both sexes. After outcrossing, the mutant exhibit, under normal conditions, an increase in mean lifespan of 22% for females and 38% for males. Maximum lifespan is increased by 15% [19302370]. | Fly | +22 to +60 | — | +15 |
| Dominant-negative S6k | Ubiquitous overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k (alias dS6K) increases mean lifespan by 22%. Overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k protects mutants from deleterious effects of rich food, as if mimicking the effect of DR [15186745]. | Fly | +22 | — | — |

| Loco mutation | Reduced expression of Loco due to hetero-deficient results in a 17-20% longer mean lifespan for both male and females, besides the fact that the homozygous deficiency of loco is lethal. Several of these long-lived mutants are more resistant to stresses such as starvation, oxidation ad heat. Additional mutant have higher Manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity, increased fat content an diminished cAMP levels. Loco RGS domain is required for the regulation of longevity as deletion analysis suggest [21776417]. | Fly | +17 to +20 | — | — |
| bwa mutation | bwa (alias Dacer) inactivation increases Drosophila pre-adult development time and anti-oxidative stress capacity. Mean lifespan is increased by 16% in females, by 21% in males and by 19% in total. Maximum lifespan of females, males is also extended by 20 and 12%, respectively [20112046].

| Dominant negative Tor | Expression of a dominant-negative form of Tor extends lifespan [15186745]. Ubiquitious overexpression of dTOR with the da-GAL4 driver of UAS-dTOR(FRB) which contains the 11kDA FKB12-rapamycin binding domain led to a mean and maximum lifespan increase of 15% (24%) and 29% at 29°C and of 50% (26%) and 13% at 25°C, respectively [15186745].
Overexpression of the dominant-negative form of Tor specifically in the fat and muscle tissues is sufficient to extend the mean and maximum lifespan by 24 and 19%, respectively [15186745].
Overexpression of UAS-dTOR(WT) or UAS-dTOR(TED) prevents eclosion to adulthood [15186745]. | Fly | +15 to +50 | +13 to +29 | — |

| E(z) mutation | Flies heterozygous for the protein null E(z)63 or the catalytically inactive E(z)731 mutation that are progeny of an out-cross to an Oregon-R (O-R) wild-type strain exhibit a substantially greater median lifespan than the O-R control (71% and 76%, respectively). When derived from an out-cross to a longer-lived Canton-S (C-S) wild-type strain, the median lifespan of E(z)63 heterozygous is 33% longer than the C-S control [20018689]. | Fly | — | +33 to +76 | — |
| puc mutation | Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in puc (either pucA241.1 or pucE69) significantly extend median and maximum lifespan and increase resistance to oxidative stress. Heterzyogosity for puc only modestly extends lifespan in animals carrying a hypomorphic allele of the JNK kinase hep [14602080].
puc heterzyogotes do not differ signficantly from wild-type for body size, reproductive activity or developmental timing, but exhibit increased resistance to oxidative stress and starvation [14602080]. | Fly | — | — | — |

| Ablation of median neurosecretary cells | Flies with an ablation of median neurosecretary cells (which eliminates Ilp2 expression) exhibit a significant increase in mean and maximum lifespan over that of control flies and an increase to oxidative stress and starvation. The mutants also exhibit increased storage of lipid and carbohydrate, reduced fecundity, and reduced tolerance of heat and cold [15708981]. The median and maximum lifespan of females is increased by 33.5% and 40%, respectively. In males the median and maximum lifespan is increased by 10.5% and 27%, respectively [15708981]. | Fly | — | +10.5 to +33.5 | +27 to +40 |
