    tub-1 mutation Mutation of tub-1 (alleles nr2004 and nr2044) leads to 20-25% life-extension dependent on daf-16 [16054097]. tub-1 mutation promotes increased fat accumulation [16054097]. Worm +20 to +25
    tax-4 mutation Recessive loss-of-function allele in tax-4 can increase lifespan by up to 100%. Lifespan extension by tax-4 mutation is suppressed by daf-16 and gonad ablation [10617200]. tax-4 mutants are thermotaxis and chemotaxis defective [8893027; 8348618]. Mutants are slighlty dauer constitutive and form dauers at 27 degree Celsius [9486798]. Worm +100
    pgl-1 mutation pgl-1(bn101) mutant animals that are sterile have a approximately 35% longer lifespan. In contrast, fertile pgl-1(bn101) animals have a wild-type lifespan [11799246]. PGL-1 is required for fertility and proliferation of germ line cells [9741628]. Worm +35
    pept-2 mutation Deletion of pept-1 (alias opt-2 or pep-2) results in retarded development, reduced body size and extended reproductive lifespan. It also further extends (60%) the life-extension caused by daf-2 mutations [15155758]. pept-2 mutants exhibit a decrease in fat content. Worm
    pdk-1 mutation Loss-of-function alleles in pdk-1 extend lifespan by 60% [10364160]. pdk-1(sa680) mutants are dauer constitutive (suppressed by daf-16) [10364160]. Worm +60
    osm-6 mutation Loss-of-function mutation in osm-6 increases lifespan by up to 40% [10617200]. osm-6 mutants are dauer-defective, chemotaxis defective [730048; 8348618], dye-filling defective [9475731], have extremly shortened axonemes, ectopic assembly of ciliary structures and microtubules in many sensory neurons [Perkins et al. 1986] Worm +40
    osm-5 mutation Loss-of-function mutation in osm-5 can increase lifespan by 100-150% [10617200]. osm-5 mutants are dauer-defective (suppressed by daf-2) [1732156] and chemotaxis defective [8348618], as well as day filling defective [Starich et al. 1995]. Worm +100 to +150
    osm-3 mutation Recessive osm-3 loss-of-function alleles can extend lifespan by 100%, which is suppressed by gonad ablation but not germ line ablation [10617200]. osm-3 mutants do not form dauers in response to starvation and have defective cilia [1732156] as well as are defective in chemosensory response and chemotaxis [7714894]. Worm +100
    osm-1 mutation Loss-of-function mutation in osm-1 increases lifespan by up to 40% [10617200]. osm-1 mutants are defective in chemotaxis, dye filling and daufer formation, have short axonemes and ectopicassembly of ciliary structures and microtubules in many sensory neurons [2428682]. Worm +40
    nrh-49 mutation A mutant allele, nhr(nr2041) results in a short lifespan. nhr-49 mutant animals accumulate fat, due to decreased expression of enzymes involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation [15719061]. Worm
    mev-1 mutation Loss of function in mev-1 shortens lifespan to 66% of wild-type (i.e. by 34%) and accelerates accumulation of aging-associated biomarkers such as protein carboynls and fluorescent materials. mev-1 mutants are hypersensitive to raised oxygen concentrations and their lifespan decreases dramatically as oxygen concentrations increase [9716135]. Mutation of mev-1 results in paraquat sensitivity, slow grows, and low fecundity. mev-1 mutants have a 50% reduction in superoxide dismutase activt relatively to wild-type [2233820]. Worm
    mes-1 mutation mes-1(bn7) mutant animals that lack germ cells live about 60% longer than fertile mes-1(bn7) controls. This lifespan extension requires daf-16 [11799246]. Homozygous mes-1 mutant progeny from homozygous mutant mothers are sterile [1783292]. Worm
    mec-8 mutation Recessive loss of function allele in mec-8 extends lifespan [10617200]. mec-8 mutations are mechanosensory defective and have defective dye filling of sensory neurons [8625846]. Worm
    hsf-1 mutation A mutant allele of hsf-1 slightly decreases lifespan under AL, but cancels out the lifespan extension effect of bDR. hsf-1 RNAi also prevents lifespan extension by bDR. Glucose or glycerol does not shorten the lifespan of hsf-1 mutants. Glucose treatment completely suppresses the long lifespan caused by hsf-1 overexpression [19883616]. sDR extends the lifespan of hsf-1 mutant with a premature stop codon, that eliminates activation domain, and that of wild-type to a similar extent [19239417]. Worm
    gro-1 mutation Mutation in gro-1 extends lifespan extension by 29% and slows growth. Post-embryonic growth rate is greatly reduced in gro-1 mutants. gro-1 mutant exhibit increased resistance to heat-shock and tends to avoid bacterial lawn [Mutation in gro-1 extends lifespan extension by 29% and slows growth. Post-embryonic growth rate is greatly reduced in gro-1 mutants. gro-1 mutant exhibit increased resistance to heat-shock and tends to avoid bacterial lawn [8638122]. Worm +29
    egl-4 mutation Mutations in egl-4 extends lifespan by up to 55%. Lifespan extension by mutation of egl-4 is suppressed by daf-16. egl-4 mutation results in normal morphology and development, however egl-4 animals are almost twice as big as normal and have weak eff-laying defects [12571101]. Worm +55
    daf-19 mutation Loss-of-function mutations in daf-19 increase lifespan up to 50% [10617200]. daf-19 mutants are dauer constitutive, dye-filling defective, and lack sensory cilia [7219552; 9475731]. Worm +50
    daf-18 mutation daf-18 is required for complete dauer formation. daf-18 mutation partially suppresses the lifespan extension of age-1 and daf-2 mutants. daf-18 mutants are defective for dauer formation and form some dauer-like larvae when starved [7789761; 8601482]. Worm
    hsb-1 mutation hsb-1(cg116) mutation at 20 degree Celsius extends mean, 75%ile, and maximum lifespan by 57-60%, 52-59%, and 37-69%. Worm +57 to +60 +37 to +69
    daf-12 mutation Mutations in daf-2 and daf-12, but not mutations in daf-12 alone, nearly quadruples lifespan [7789761]. Recessive loss of function mutation in daf-12 shortens lifespan. daf-12 activity is required for lifespan extension after germ line ablation [10360574]. daf-12 mutation suppresses the lifespan extension by mutation in daf-28 [8807293]. daf-12 mutants are dauer defective and heterochronic [7219552]. Some daf-12 alleles exhibit synthetic lethality with mutation of age-1 [8807293] or daf-12 [1732156]. Worm
    daf-10 mutation Loss of function mutation in daf-10 increases lifespan by 60% (in Bristol N2) [10617200]. daf-10 mutants are dauer defective, dye filling defective, octopamine deficient and have abnormal chemotaxis and osmotic avoidance. Mutants in daf-10 display abnormal sensory anatomy, especially amophidial neurons and sheath cells, and cephalic neurons. daf-10 mutant males do not mate [2428682]. Worm +60
    clk-3 mutation Mutations in clk-3 slow down development and extend adult lifespan (at 20 degree Celsius in Bristol N2). clk-3 mutation slows growth and rhythms similiar to clk-1a and profounds maternal and zygotic rescue [8638122]. Worm
    che-2 mutation Loss-of-function in che-3 extends lifespan by 50-100% depending on the allele, but life-extension is suppressed by daf-16 (in Bristol N2) [10617200]. che-3 mutations have defective sensory neurons [2428682; 10508861] and are defective in dye filling [2428682; 7705621] as well as dauer defective [1732156]. Worm +50 to +100
    che-2 mutation che-2 recessive loss-of-function mutations extend lifespan up to 50% (in Bristol N2) [10617200]. che-2 mutants are chemotactic defective, slightly small, defective for osmotic avoidance, have ciliated neurons with abnormal stunted ultrastructure, and are dauer defective [2428682; 1732156].
