Summary ABSCISSION AND SENESCENCE
ABSCISSION AND SENESCENCE Like human beings, plants a1so grow old and undergo aging and then they die. Aging is the sum total of changes in the total plant or its organs. During aging, the plants undergo chemical and structural changes. Aging leads to senescence and later phase of development that u1timately terminates to death. Senescence The deteriorative process which naturally terminates the functional life of an organ, organism or other life unit is collectively called senescence. Senescence is a phase of the aging process. The major characteristic of senescence is that the metabolic processes are catabolic and eventually become irreversible and terminate to death.
