Normal cells, with few exceptions, cannot proliferate indefinitely. Cell populations-in vivo and in culture-generally undergo only a limited number of doublings before proliferation invariably and irreversibly ceases. This process has been termed the finite lifespan phenotype or cellular senescence.

## Abstract Mouse embryonic stem cells have an unlimited lifespan in cultures if they are prevented from differentiating. After differentiating, they produce cells which divide only a limited number of times. These changes seen in cultures parallel events that occur in the developing embryo, where
We have previously reported that aseptically cultured mesophyll protoplasts of Vigna divide rapidly and regenerate into complete plants, while mesophyll protoplasts of Avena divide only sporadically and senesce rapidly after isolation. We measured polyamine titers in such cultures of Vigna and Avena
