      This study provides useful information for the Drosophila ageing community by characterising the auxin-based gene expression system (AGES) and identifying important caveats associated with its use in adult flies. The authors provide solid evidence for sex-, age-, tissue- and dose-dependent variability in transgene induction, as well as effects of auxin feeding and AGES activation on stress resistance, metabolism, and lifespan. While the study would benefit from a broader characterisation of some of these limitations, the findings provide a helpful benchmark for researchers using AGES in ageing studies.
