Perennially young: seed production and quality in controlled and natural populations of Cistus albidus reveal compensatory mechanisms that prevent senescence in terms of seed yield and viability

This study evaluated if plant ageing can influence the production and composition of seeds in controlled and natural populations of Cistus albidus. Results indicate that reduced plant size in natural populations can help old individuals escape senescence in terms of seed viability loss
