    yata mutation yata mutation shortens the maximum lifespan by 68% and results in progressive deterioration of the nervous tissues and aberrant accumulation of Sec23 [19209226]. Fly -68
    Wings ablation/clipping Flies on DR who could not move or had inhibited fat metabolism in their muscle and do not get an extended lifespan. Flies with ablated wings caused by overexpressing reaper (UAS-rpr) with a wing-sepcific Gal4 enhancer trap (1096-Gal4) exhibit only a 14% extension in lifespan compared to controls which exhibit a 61% extension upon DR. Clipped wing flies exhibit a modest 33% increase, while controls exhibit a 97% lifespan extension upon DR Lifespan reduction upon DR by curtailing movement is specific to control animals as lifespan is not futher reduced with Akh inhibition [22768842]. Control and clipped-wing flies exhibit a similiar level of fat synthesis and breakdown. Muscle specific RNAi of Akh, CG7834, or CG4389 results in a significant reduction in movement of flies upon DR [22768842]. Fly
    Trx-2 mutation Trx-2 mutants have a 25% reduction in maximum lifespan and exhibit lower tolerance to oxidative stress while animals carrying multiple copies of Trx-2 exhibit higher tolerance [17567437]. Fly -25
    Thor mutation Null mutation in Thor (alias d4E-BP) causes a significant decrease in longevity (-25% median lifespan in males). foxo (alias dFOXO) and Thor null mutants are compromised in stress resistant. Stress resistance of foxo null mutants is rescued by Thor overexpression [16055649]. Thor null mutants cancel out DR-induced lifespan extension, because mutants exhibit a diminished change in lifespan when nutrient conditions were varied. Thor null mutants have a wild-type similar reduction in egg production upon DR [19804760]. Fly -25
    Surf1 knockdown Surf1 knockdown results in larval lethality. However, knockdown in the central nervous system (CNS) not only bypasses the larval lethality but it results in an increase in maximum lifespan of about 20-30% [16172499]. Fly +20 to +30
    sun mutation sun mutations increases lifespan and resistance to oxidative stress [15133470] Fly
    Sod2 RNAi RNA interference of Sod2 results in increased oxidative stress and early-onset mortality in young adults [12456885]. Fly
    Sod1 knockdown Sod1 knockdown by RNAi blunts the lifespan extension by a high sugar-low protein diet, but not a low-calorie diet [22672579]. Fly
    Sod mutation Sod mutant flies display infertility and a reduction in lifespan [2539600]. Fly
    Sod knockout Sod knockout blunts the lifespan extension by a high sugar-low protein diet, but not a low-calorie diet [22672579]. Fly
    snz mutation Mutation in snz increases maximum lifespan of both sexes by up to 66%, while the median female lifespan is approximately 85% higher and that of males around 72% [18478054]. Fly +72 to +85 +66
    SNF4Agamma deletion Deletion of SNF4Agamma from the first day of the imaginal stage shortens mean lifespan by 23% and causes morphological and behavioural features of premature aging [18219227]. Fly -23
    Sirt6 RNAi Decreased expression of Sirt6 by RNA interference causes lethality during development. Sirt6 silencing in neurons shortens mean lifespan by 20% [17159295]. Fly -20
    Sirt2 RNAi Decreased expression of Sirt2 by RNA interference causes lethality during development. Silencing in neurons shortened mean lifespan by 20% [17159295]. Fly -20
    Sir2 RNAi Decreased expression of Sir2 and Sir2-like genes in all cells causes lethality during development. Suppression of the Sir2 in neurons decreases the median lifespan by 10-30%, while ubiquitous silencing of the Sir2-like genes shortens lifespan. The effects are server at 28°C that at 25°C [17159295]. Fly -10 to -30
    Sir2 mutation A decrease in Sir2 (alias dSir2) blocks the life-extending effect of caloric reduction or rpd3 mutations [15520384]. Sir2 mutation does not reduce lifespan under AL [15520384]. Fly
    Sir2 knockdown A diet-dependent lifespan phenotype of dSir2 knockdown in the fat-body, but not in muscles, negates the effects of background genetic mutants. dSir2 knockdown abrogates fat-body dFoxo-dependent lifespan extension [23246004]. Fly
    Sh mutation Genetic mutation in Sh decrease lifespan by accelerating the aging proces. At 25 degree mean and maximum lifespan is reduced by 16 and 22%, while by 18 degree Celsius the reduction is 32 and 21% [8582611]. Fly -16 to -32 -21 to -22
    sgg transposition Several insertions of P-based vectors in the structural part of sgg are associated with alterations of male and female lifespan [22661237]. Fly
    sdhC dominant negative overexpression Mutants expressing a dominant negative form of sdhC in the nervous system have a 22% reduced mean lifespan and signs of oxidative stress induction [17854771]. Fly -22
    SdhB mutation SdhB mutants are hypersensitive to oxygen and displays signs of premature aging, including a 66% decrease in mean lifespan and a 17% decrease in maximum lifespan [17056719]. Fly -66 -17
    Scgdelta deletion Deletion of Scgdelta has detrimental effects on the flight muscles of adult animals and heart function. Median lifespan is reduced 15-30% [17855453]. Fly -15 to -30
    ry mutation Loss-of-function mutation of ry reduces mean lifespan by 45% and maximum lifespan by 35% [17435236]. Fly -45 -35
    rut mutation Two rutabaga mutants, rut1 and rut2080, have significantly shortened lifespans [17369827]. Fly
    rho-7 knockout rho-7 knockout flies have severe neurological defects and a much reduced lifespan [16713954]. Fly
