    act-4 RNAi Knockdown of act-4 started after the animal reached the late L4 stage decreases mean lifespan by 28% [22103665]. Worm
    Activating let-60 mutation The let-60(n1046gf) activating mutation greatly reduces lifespan of wild-type, weakly suppresses constitutive dauer diapause in daf-2 and age-1 mutants and extends lifespan induced by mutation of daf-2 [16164423]. Worm
    age-1 mutation Recessive knockout mutants of age-1 have a 40-65% increase in mean lifespan and a 65-110% increase in maximum lifespan [8608934; 8700226]. age-1(mg44) zygotic null mutants have a mean (99%) and maximum (117%) lifespan extension [18828672]. Even in axenic culture lifespan of age-1 is extended up to 100%. age-1 mutation significantly extends lifespan under AL, but only slightly under sDR [16720740]. age-1 mutants are dauer constitutive [8056303] and display lower brood size as well as increased embryonic lethality [9504918]. Additionally, age-1 mutants have elevated levels of superoxidase dismutase and catalase activities [8389142]. Worm +99 +117
    age-1 RNAi RNAi against age-1 extends lifespan by 30% [8700226; 8608934]. age-1 RNAi increases mean and maximum lifespan by 36-46% and 48-50% [12447374]. RNAi against age-1 increases mean lifespan by 83% [18828672]. age-1(mg44) zygotic null mutants have a mean (99%) and maximum (117%) lifespan extension [18828672]. Worm +36 to +99 +48 to +117
    age-2 mutation Homocygous age-2 mutation increases mean (+43%, +31%, +38%) and maximum (+29%, +36%, +18%)) lifespan by about 20%. age-2 mutant exhibit normal motility, slightly higher swimming rates, reduced fertility and somewhat longer development times and slightly larger size at the first egg laying. Lifespan is extended by reducing the initial mortality rate. age-2 mutation complements other aging gene mutations such as age-1, daf-2, spe-26, clk-1, clk-3 and gro-1. A age-1 age-2 double mutant lives longer than animals with individual mutations and exhibits a longer lifespan at 25 degree Celsius than at 20 degree Celsius [10219000]. Worm +20 +20
    agmo-1 RNAi RNA interference of agmo-1 decreases median lifespan by 30% in wild type animals and 60% in daf-2 mutants [18006689]. Worm -30
    ain-1 RNAi RNA interference of ain-1 decreases median lifespan by 10% in wild type animals, 20% in a daf-2 background and 44% in daf-2/daf-16 double mutants [18006689]. Worm -10
    akt-1 RNAi RNA interference of akt-1 leads to lifespan extension [15998808]. Worm
    alg-1 RNAi Adult-specific knockdown of the C. elegans argonaute-like gene 1 *alg-1* results in shortened lifespan with a reduction in the mean and maximum lifespan by 9 - 16% and 14%, respectively [21810936]. Worm -9.6 to -16.1 -13.7
    alg-2 RNAi RNA interference of alg-2 decreases median lifespan by 24% in wild type animals and 50% in a daf-2 background [18006689]. Worm -24
    amt-2 RNAi RNA interference of amt-2 increases mean lifespan by 20% [17608836]. Worm -20
    ant-1.1 RNAi RNA interference of ant-1.1 increases mean lifespan by 40% [17608836]. Worm +40
    aph-2 RNAi aph-2 RNAi in the adulthood extends the lifespan [New longevity regulators]. Worm
    Apply polyphenol treatment Treatment with 100 microgram/mL apple polyphenol increases mean lifespan of wild-type N2 and FEM-1 by 12.0 and 5.3%, respectively [20717869]. Worm +5.3 to 12.0
    apr-1 RNAi apr-1 RNAi in the adulthood extends the lifespan [99999999]. Worm
    aps-1 RNAi aps-1 RNAi in the adulthood extends mean lifespan by 8% without any apparent effect on maximum lifespan [23144747]. Worm +7.9 0
    aqp-1 mutation Similar to daf-16 and hsf-1 mutants, aqp-1 mutants were short-lived, and their short lifespan was not further decreased by glucose. Overexpression of aqp-1::GFP rescued short lifespan of aqp-1 deletion mutants and partially prevented glucose from shortening lifespan. aqp-1 mutation does not further decrease the short lifespan of daf-16 and/or hsf-1 mutants. Dietary glucose does not cause significant differences in levels of glucose or glycerol in wild-type vs. aqp-1 mutants [19883616]. Worm
    aqp-1 overexpression Overexpression of aqp-1::GFP rescues short lifespan of aqp-1 deletion mutants and partially prevented glucose from shortening lifespan. Worm
    arf-3 RNA RNA interference of arf-3 does not affect lifespan of wild-type but suppresses lifespan extension by isp-1 mutation [22829775]. Worm 0
    arl-8 RNAi RNA interference of arl-8 decreases median lifespan by 35% in a daf-2 background and 9% in daf-2/daf-16 double mutants [18006689]. Worm -35
