Abstract
These findings, therefore, are in line with Molisch's “death-by-starvation hypothesis”: extended maximum life span results from reduced production of sink tissues and slow vegetative growth. We conclude that the analysis of plant life span adjustments along gradients of environmental factors can considerably contribute to our understanding of how plants may cope with changing environmental conditions, e.g., due to global change.
