bec-1 RNAi | bec-1 is required for normal dauer morphogenesis and lifespan extension. Knockdown of bec-1 via RNA interference results in a shortened mean and maximum lifespan by 14 and 5% [12958363]. bec-1 RNAi does not significantly change the lifespan of wild-type, but completely suppresses the longevity phenotype of eat-2 mutation [17912023; 18282106] and prevents lifespan extension by daf-2(e1370) mutation [12958363]. bec-1 RNAi causes the formation of abnormal dauers in a daf-2(e1379) background [12958363]. | Worm | -14 | — | -5 |

rict-1 RNAi | C. elegans with mutations in the TORC2 complex gene rict-1 (Rictor) grow slowly and have small body size, and live slightly longer than wild-type when maintained on ârichâ food such as the RNAi feeding strain HT115 and at elevuated temperature (25 degree Celsius) [Soukas et al., 2009 in (Robida-Stubbs et al., 2012)]. rict-1 RNAi at 20 degree Celsius in the adulthood increases mean, median, 75th %ile and maximum lifespan by 12-42, 22-29, 13-32 and 28-54%, respectively, dependent on skn-1. daf-16 is not required for lifespan to be increased by rict-1 RNAi, or when TORC1 and TORC2 are blocked by ragc-1;rict-1 RNAi. rict-1 RNAi extends mean, median, 75th %ile and maximum lifespan in the intestine-specific RNA stains VPS288 by 12-18, 19, 13-18 and 16%, respectively [22560223]. | Worm | +12 to +42 | +22 to +42 | +28 to +54 |

frh-1 RNAi | Complete absence of frataxin is lethal, while its partial deficiency extends animal lifespan in a p53 dependent manner. Frataxin knockdown via RNAi extends mean and maximum lifespan by 19 and 37%, respectively [23247094].
Substantial reduction of frataxin protein expression is required to extend lifespan, affect sensory neurons functionality, remodel lipid metabolism and trigger autophagy. Beclin and p53 genes are required to induce autophagy and concurrently reduce lipid storages and extend animal lifespan in response to frataxin suppression [23247094]. | Worm | +18.75 | — | +37.037037037 |
