Long Life Tree Cells Challenge Life Cycle Theory
In Flagstaff Arizona AP report scientist Dr. D T MacDougall of its Dese Laboratory at the Carnegie Institution reports discovery of baltown cells within trees that cannot enlarge yet remain alive for about 400 years. These cells mature in 201 days and may recuperate after injury while older cells show less dry weight. Some California trees are said to live up to 3000 years and endure 50 to 100000 cell divisions without aging signs, yet the trees die from overgrowth rather than old age as winds topple them.
