Longevity and temperature at different stages of C.elegans life

Longevity experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans worms under different temperature conditions Pamela L. Larsen (University of Southern California, Andrus Gerontology Center, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0191, USA)

Life expectancies for N2 genotype and daf-2(m41); daf-12(m20) mutants in different experiments

Maximal life span for N2 genotype and daf-2(m41); daf-12(m20) mutants in different experiments

Postponed ageing with low temperature? Proportion of survived worms N2 genotype for post reproductive phase temperature 15?C (black) and 25.5?C (blue and o).

Slowing ageing with low temperature? Proportion of survived among daf-2(m41); daf-12(m20) mutants for reproductive phase temperature 15?C (black) and 25.5?C (blue and o).

Longevity at 15C and 25.5C temperature

Amount of “heat” during life does not predict longevity in N2 and in daf-2(m41); daf-12(m20) mutants
