During the previous two parts I have mentioned two common patterns in negligible and negative senescence species that escape senescence: 1. dormancy 2. modular growth Although such species are encountered in the animal as well as in the plant kingdom, traditionally there has been a lack of interest in studying plants in the gerontology field.…… Continue reading Why do some species escape senescence? part III

Why do some species escape senescence? part II
During the previous post I mentioned dormancy as one of the strategies some species display to escape senescence. Are there any more common patterns? What do these individuals do differently from us? Can we learn something from them, even apply some of their wisdom to escape senescence too? During the periods when species undergo depressed…… Continue reading Why do some species escape senescence? part II
