Brunswick, NJ. Senesco has initiated preclinical research to trigger or

delay cell death in mammals (apoptosis) to determine if the technology is

applicable in human medicine. Accelerating apoptosis may have applications

senescence. Delaying cell breakdown in plants extends freshness after

harvesting, while increasing crop yields, plant size and resistance to

environmental stress. The Company believes that its technology can be used

to develop superior strains of crops without any modification other than

delaying natural plant senescence. Senesco has partnered with leading-edge

companies engaged in agricultural biotechnology and earns research and

development fees for applying its gene-regulating platform technology to enhance

its partners' products.
