PLANT AGING. “In most cases, mortality in perennials seems therefore not to be caused by the progressive deterioration of physiological functions associated with age, as occurs in humans. The unique combination of modular development and dormancy evolved by perennial plants allows them to defy aging. The field of aging and regenerative biomedicine could find inspiration in this combination, which makes the probability of death owing to external factors higher than death caused by physiological deterioration associated with aging at the plant organism level.”
