MODULAR BODY PLAN. "Also of special significance for ageing is the body plan. Unlike animals, plants develop by the open-ended repetitive proliferation of homologous structural units. The vast range of plant form and life cycle arises by variations in the spatial arrangement of phytomers, or in the timing of initiation, development and senescence of these modules." https://lnkd.in/dPac2Jv View in LinkedIn

GERMLINE AND SOMA. "Senescence and ageing in plants diverge radically from the equivalent processes in animals because of differences in organization and development. In particular, the animal body comprises distinct germline (gamete-producing) and soma (nonreproductive) cells, whereas there is no differentiation into germline and soma in plants." https://lnkd.in/dPac2Jv View in LinkedIn

LOVE-HATE RACE. "In large part, this coevolution takes the form of the incessant arms race during which the cellular hosts evolve multiple, in some cases highly elaborate mechanisms of resistance and defence to which the parasites respond by evolving counter-defence systems. However, cooperation between hosts and parasites complements the arms race." https://lnkd.in/dwWBEqU View in LinkedIn
