The phenomenon of aging in plants is known as Plant senescence. The growth of the storage organs of the plants along with nutrient recycling occurs due to the senescence of the leaves. Naturally, this process is
In looking at hyperaccumulating plants, what happens to the heavy metals in the plant when the plant dies? What is osmosis and why is it important? Explain seed formation in flowering plants. Explain how the lack of phototropism in an adult plant contributes to the initiation of leaf senescence?
In higher plants, TG localized in the cell wall of flower petals appears to be involved in the structural reinforcement as well as senescence and cell death of the flower corolla. In the pollen cell wall an extracellular TG co-localizes with substrates and cross-linked products; it is ...
We first define growth sensu stricto as an irreversible increase in cell number, biomass, plant volume, or a combination thereof. We adopt the term ‘structural growth’ to refer to an increase in structural biomass that is irreversible up to senescence (Pantin et al., 2012). This includes ...

Nonetheless, in this paper, we will consider some of the events from seed germination to the seedling stage, vegetative growth, maturation, flowering, fruit and seed formation, and senescence. This is a work in progress. The development consists of both growth and differentiation involving quantitat...
(Loseva et al.2014). Since senescence is linked to many age-related pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, the increase of senescent cells with a tissue following chronic radiation exposure would be expected to cause premature ageing. However, there is contradictory evidence. First, some ...
Explain what is meant by tree girdling and what happens to a plant when the girdle is removed from the stem just below the branches. Is there some kind of immortality in plants? If so, how does this occur, and how does it protect itself from senescence?
What is nitrogen fixation? Explain with respect to plants. Explain how the lack of phototropism in an adult plant contributes to the initiation of leaf senescence? Why don't plants have high levels of defense compounds all the time? How can seed dormancy be advantageous to a plant? How did...
