While ruling out programmed aging, evolutionary theory predicts a quasi-program for aging, ... Finally, I discuss that extended life span will reveal new causes for aging (e.g., ROS, 'wear and tear', Hayflick limit, stem cell exhaustion) that play a limited role now, when quasi-programmed senescence kills us first...

Higher numbers of viable progeny are produced by a redistribution of nutrients from the plant to the seed during senescence and several less important reasons. On the level of plant physiology, with many or all species, evidence and theory point to senescence as a two step process.
