New research reveals how Ginkgo biloba<\/em> trees can grow for thousands of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(…) Some forest giants, like the Ginkgo biloba<\/em>, can live more than 3000 years. Now, in the most comprehensive plant aging study to date, researchers have revealed the molecular mechanisms that allow the ginkgo\u2014and perhaps other trees – to survive so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new study provides the first real genetic evidence for something scientists have long suspected: \u201cThe default condition in plants is immortality,\u201d says Howard Thomas, a plant biologist from Aberystwyth University (…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(…) Examining the growth rings, Li Wang, a plant molecular biologist at Yangzhou University, and colleagues discovered that the ginkgos\u2019 growth didn\u2019t slow down after hundreds of years\u2014in fact, their growth rates sometimes sped up. What\u2019s more, the leaf size, photosynthetic ability, and seed quality of the trees\u2014all indicators of health\u2014didn\u2019t differ with age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

organs such as leaves perish, the trees themselves are unlikely to die in old age, they report today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not needing to worry about growing old is \u201csomething that for humans is difficult to understand,\u201d says plant physiologist Sergi Munn\u00e9-Bosch of the University of Barcelona (…). \u201cAging is not a problem for this species,\u201d he says. \u201cThe most important problem that they have to deal with is stress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
