ARO7 deletion | Under starvation/extreme DR deletion of ARO7 increases mean chronological lifespan and confers higher resistance to heat-shock, but made cell more sensitive to acetic acid and leads to growth defects. In W303-1A background ARO7 deletion causes an even more severe growth defect and mutants are short-lived [20657825]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
ARP1 deletion | Deletion of ARP1 decreases replicative lifespan by 40% in the alpha strain [18340043; 19030232]. | Yeast | -40 | — | — |
arx-4 RNAi | RNA interference of arx-4 decreases median lifespan by 61% in a daf-2 background and 51% in daf-2/daf-16 double mutants [18006689]. | Worm | — | -61 | — |
asb-1 RNAi | asb-1 RNAi in the adulthood extends the mean lifespan by 7% without changing the maximum lifespan [23144747]. | Worm | +6.4 | — | 0 |
Ascrobate treatment | Hypersensitivity to oxygene and significantly decreased replicative lifespan of SOD1 deletion can be ameliorated by exogenous ascorbate. If acorbate's negative effects of auto-oxidation are prevented by exchange of medium, ascorbate prolongs mean and maximum replicative lifespan in the atmosphere of air and pure oxygene [15621721].

asm-3 RNAi | RNA interference of asm-3 increases mean lifespan by 50% [17608836]. | Worm | +50 | — | — |
asp-3 RNAi | RNA interference against asp-3 significantly reduces lifespan of eat-2(ad1116) mutants, without any significant affect on the lifespan of wild-type. Mean and 75%ile lifespan of eat-2 mutants is reduced by 13-14% and 5-9% by asp-3 RNAi [22810224]. | Worm | — | — | — |
atf1 deletion | Deleting atf1 cancels out DR-mediated chronological lifespan extension and enhanced heat stress resistance[20075862]. | | — | — | — |

atg-7 RNAi | RNA interference against atg-7 shortens mean lifespan by 23% and maximum lifespan by 30% in a eat-2 mutant background but not in wild-type animals. Thus, atg7 RNAi does not affect lifespan of wild-type, but totally cancels out the lifespan extension effect of eat-2 mutation [17912023]. | Worm | — | — | — |
ATG1 deletion | ATG1 deletion reduces chronological lifespan by 70% [19302372]. Deletion of ATG1 reduces replicative lifespan by 20% in the alpha strain [18340043]. | Yeast | -20 to -70 | — | — |

ATG11 deletion | ATG11 deletion extends replicative lifespan under AL and abrogates DR-lifespan extension [18690010]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
ATG15 deletion | Deletion of ATG15 does not affect the lifespan significantly on AL, while DR shortens replicative lifespan of ATG15 deletion mutant by 28% [18690010]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
ATG16 deletion | Under AL atg16 mutation shortens chronological, but not replicative lifespan. 0.5% glucose DR extends chronological lifespan of atg16 mutants, but amino-acid DR does not extend the short chronological lifespan of atg16 mutants (similar to several other autophagy mutants). ADE4 deletion in atg16 mutants results only in a partial extension of chronological lifespan by 0.5% glucose DR. The long chronological lifespan of tor1 mutants requires ATG16 [20421943]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
