    Homozygous chico mutation Mutation in chico extends mean, median, and maximum lifespan by 56%, 48%, and 42% in homozygotes. chico mutation produces dwarf, long-lived females at normal nutrition [11292874]. Wild-type and chico mutant females have similar peak lifespan under DR, but the food concentration at which these are achieved is shifted to higher amounts. chico mutation induces a state equivalent to submaximal, DR-induced slowing of aging [11951037]. Male chico homozygous have a shortened lifespan [11292874]. Female chico homozygous recessive mutants are sterile [11292874]. Fly +56 +48 +42
    Heterzygous chico mutation Mutation in chico extends mean, median and maximum lifespan by 44%, 36% and 35% in heterozygotes. chico mutation produces dwarf, long-lived females at normal nutrition [11292874]. Wild-type and chico mutant females have similar peak lifespan under DR, but the food concentration at which these are achieved is shifted to higher amounts. chico mutation induces a state equivalent to submaximal, DR-induced slowing of aging [11951037]. Male chico heterozygous live 13% longer than wild-type [11292874]. chico heterzoygous females have a reduced fecundity. chico heterozygous mutants are resistant to starvation but not oxidative stress or temperature stress [11292874]. Fly +44 +36 +35
    Orco mutation Loss-of-function mutation in Orco (alias Or83b) results in olfactory defects, altered adult metabolism, enhanced stress resistance, and life-extension. Fully fed female homozygous Or83b null mutants exhibit a 56% increase in median lifespan and a 30% increase in maximum lifespan. Males are also significantly longer-lived, though to a smaller degree and maximum lifespan is not extended. Heterozygous mutants of both sexes show an intermediate longevity. Lifespan of homozygous Or83b null mutants is further increased by DR, but the relative increase in median and mean longevity is significantly greater when mutants were maintained in well-fed conditions [17272684]. Fly +56 +30
    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
    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
    Bmcp knockout Bmcp knockout flies live longer on low-calorie diets, have a decreased fertility, and gain less weight on high-calorie diets. Bmcp (ucp5) knockout mutants live longer than wild-type on low-calorie diets, but no longer on starvation or high-calorie diets. Ectopic neuronal expression of Bmcp transgene rescues starvation sensitive phenotype of Bmcp knockout mutants [16387864]. Fly
    aPKC transposition Insertion of a P-based vectors in the structural part of aPKC increase male and female lifespan [22661237]. Fly
    Gadd45 overexpression Gadd45 overexpression in the nervous system leads to a significant increase of lifespan without a decrease in fecundity and locomotor activity. The lifespan extension effect is more pronounced in males than in females. Additional maximum lifespan is also extended. The maximum lifespan is increased by 50% and 59% for females and males, respectively. The median lifespan is extended by 46 and 77% for females and males, respectively [22661237]. Fly
    esg transposition Disruption of esg by insertion of the P{GT1} vector 300 bp downstream of its structural part increases male and female lifespan [22661237]. Fly
    insc transposition insc disruption through an insertion of the P{EPgy2} vector in ts structural part prolongs female lifespan [22661237]. Fly
    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
    LY294002 treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with 5 micromolar LY294002 increases median (by 14%) and maximum (by 16-22%) lifespan (p<0.001) in females and males, respectively [22661237]. Low dose of LY294002 (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +14 +16 to +22
    Wortmannin treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with 0.5 micromolar wortmannin increases median (by 5%) and maximum (by 39%) lifespan in males (p < 0.001), but the lifespan differences in females were statistical insignificant (p > 0.05) [22661237]. Low dose of wortmannin (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +5 +39
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with rapamycin induces increases of median (by 5-6%) lifespan (p < 0.01) in males and females, respectively and increase of maximum lifespan (by 33%) in females (p < 0.01) [22661237]. Low dose of LY294002 (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +5 to +6 +33
    PDTC treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with PDTC increases median (by 11-13%) and maximum (by 11-14%) lifespan in females and males, respectively [22661237]. Fly +11 to +13 +11 to +14
    bchs mutation Loss of function mutation in bchs results in a 40-45% decrease in mean lifespan and is associated with age-related neurodegenerative phenotype with reduced CNS size and altered morphology as well as accumulation of insoluble ubiquinated proteins and amyloid precursor-like proteins along with an increase in neuronal apoptosis. No pronounced developmental defects were observed and young adults have normal behaviours, indicating that the bchs gene is essential for normal adult survival and longevity [12598614]. bchs mutation reduces mean lifespan by 28 - 54% and maximum lifespan by 24 - 46% [17435236]. Fly -28 to -54 -24 to -46
    Increasing JNK signaling Increasing JNK signaling (e.g. via manipulation of puc, hep or hsp82) correlates with increased lifespan and enhanced stress-resistance to oxidative stress [14602080]. Fly
    Cat overexpression Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod1 results in a one-third (i.e. 30%) lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. Targeted overexpression of CAT in the mitochondrial matrix has no effect on lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, slightly shortens lifespan at 29 degree Celsius as is associated with increased resistance to endogenous hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, and cold stress [12521602]. Fly
    Sod overexpression Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod (alias Sod1) results in a one-third lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. General overexpression of Sod (also known as Cu/ZnSOD) alone is sufficient to extend lifespan by up to 48%. Simultaneous overexpression of catalase with Cu/ZnSOD has no added benefit, presumably due to a pre-existing excess of catalase [9858546]. Fly +38
    Cct1 overexpression Overexpression of Cct1 from a doxycycline-inducible promoter results in a 6 - 8% increase in mean lifespan (in the PdL x rtTA; Oregon-R x rtTA strain) [12620118]. Fly +6 to +8
    cher overexpression Overexpression of cher from a doxycycline-inducible promoter results in a 7 - 9% increase in mean lifespan (in PdL x rtTA; Oregon-R x rtTA) [12620118]. Fly +7 to +9
    High sugar low protein diet A high sugar low protein diet increases the lifespan, but not resistance to acute oxidative stress [22672579]. Fly
    Low calorie diet with low-sugar content A diet with low-calorie and low-sugar content increase the lifespan, but not resistance to acute oxiditive stress [22672579] Fly
    p53 mutation Globally lack of p53 decreases lifespan [16303568]. Loss of p53 activity slightly shortens the lifespan. Mutants that lack p53 survive well up to 50 days, but mortality rate increases relative to wild-type at later ages. p53 mutant animals are extremely sensitive to irradiation [12935877]. Fly
    p53 overexpression Overexpression of wild-type Dmp53 during adult life has no significant effect on lifespan [16303568]. Fly
