    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
    foxo mutation foxo null mutants are highly and significantly shorter-lived than wild-type on all food dilutions apart from 0.1 SY and under starvation. foxo null mutants are not more sensitive to starvation than wild-type [18241326]. Fly
    Hk mutation Genetic mutation in Hyperkinetic shortens lifespan through acceleration of the aging process. At 25 degree Celsius mean and maximum lifespan is reduced by 29 and 32%, while by 18 degree Celsius the reduction is 59 and 39% [8582611]. Fly -29 to -59 -32 to -39
    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
    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
    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
    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
    Pi3K92E mutation Heterozyogous mutation in Pi3K92E fails to extend lifespan [11292874] and it is recessive lethal. Fly
    Ilp2 mutation Ilp2 null mutants are significant longer-lived with a 8-13% longer median lifespan [20195512]. Fly +8 to +13
    Ilp3 mutation Ilp3 null mutants have a normal lifespan under AL and a normal DR response. Ilp2 Ilp3 Ilp5 triple null mutants fail to have a normal response to DR. Their response is right shifted, with mutants being shorter-lived compared to wild-type on low but longer-lived on high yeast concentrations [20195512]. Fly
    Ilp2/Ilp3/Ilp5 mutation Ilp5 null mutants have a normal lifespan under AL and a normal DR response. Ilp2 Ilp3 Ilp5 triple null mutants fail to have a normal response to DR. Their response is right shifted, with mutants being shorter-lived compared to wild-type on low but longer-lived on high yeast concentrations [20195512]. Fly
    InrGC25/InrE19 transheterozygous mutation InrGC25/InrE19 transheterozygous animals are short-lived an exhibit an elevated rate of age-independent mortality [11292874]. Fly
    insc transposition insc disruption through an insertion of the P{EPgy2} vector in ts structural part prolongs female lifespan [22661237]. Fly
    aPKC transposition Insertion of a P-based vectors in the structural part of aPKC increase male and female lifespan [22661237]. Fly
    Atg7 knockout Knockouts of Atg7 are short-lived with a 30% reduction in maximum lifespan and are hypersensitive to nutrient and oxidative stress [18056421; 19550147]. Fly -30
    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
    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
    dj-1beta mutation Loss of function mutation in dj-1beta shortens maximum lifespan by 40% and results in increased sensitivity to oxidative stress and motor impairments [17651920]. Fly -40
    hk mutation Loss of function mutation in hk decreases mean lifespan by 58 - 60% and maximum lifespan by 15 - 47% [17435236]. Fly -58 to -60 -15 to -47
    Lnk mutation Loss of Lnk function results in increased median (14% in females and 17.5 in males) and maximum lifespan, reduced female fecundity and improves survival under conditions of oxidative stress and starvation. Heterozygousity does not result in any significant differences in lifespan in either males or females. Moreover, lifespan extension in one of the female homozygous mutant is fully rescued by the introduction of a Lnk genomic rescue construct [20333234]. Fly -14 to -17.5
    car mutation Loss-of-function mutation in car results in reduction of mean lifespan by 34 - 53% and maximum lifespan by 28 - 29% [17435236]. Fly -34 to -53 -28 to -29
    cm mutation Loss-of-function mutation in cm reduces mean lifespan by 43 - 53% and maximum lifespan by 40 - 44% [17435236]. Fly -43 to -53 -40 to -44
    dor mutation Loss-of-function mutation in dor reduces mean lifespan by 70 - 81% and maximum lifespan by 71 - 78% [17435236]. Fly -70 to -81 -71 to -78
    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
    GLaz mutation Loss-of-function mutation of GLaz which decreases its expression of GLaz results in shorter lifespan and decreased resistance to oxidative stress in males [16581513]. Fly
