GO:0007569 cell aging An aging process that has as participant a cell after a cell has stopped dividing. Cell aging may occur when a cell has temporarily stopped dividing through cell cycle arrest (GO:0007050) or when a cell has permanently stopped dividing, in which case it is undergoing cellular senescence (GO:0090398). May precede cell death (GO:0008219) and succeed cell maturation (GO:0048469). 738
GO:0010259 multicellular organismal aging An aging process that has as participant a whole multicellular organism. Multicellular organism aging includes loss of functions such as resistance to disease, homeostasis, and fertility, as well as wear and tear. Multicellular organisms aging includes processes like cellular senescence and organ senescence, but is more inclusive. May precede death (GO:0016265) of an organism and may succeed developmental maturation (GO:0021700). 702
GO:0008340 determination of adult lifespan The control of viability and duration in the adult phase of the life-cycle. 279
GO:0090398 cellular senescence A cell aging process stimulated in response to cellular stress, whereby normal cells lose the ability to divide through irreversible cell cycle arrest. 21
GO:0001302 replicative cell aging The process associated with progression of the cell from its inception to the end of its lifespan that occurs as the cell continues cycles of growth and division. 10
GO:0001300 chronological cell aging The process associated with progression of the cell from its inception to the end of its lifespan that occurs when the cell is in a non-dividing, or quiescent, state. 7
GO:0001306 age-dependent response to oxidative stress Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of oxidative stress, a state often resulting from exposure to high levels of reactive oxygen species, where the change varies according to the age of the cell or organism. 3
GO:0042697 menopause Cessation of menstruation, occurring in (e.g.) the human female usually around the age of 50. 2
GO:0090400 stress-induced premature senescence A cellular senescence process associated with the dismantling of a cell as a response to environmental factors such as hydrogen peroxide or X-rays. 2
GO:0001320 age-dependent response to reactive oxygen species involved in chronological cell aging Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) occurring in non-dividing cells as they age as a result of reactive oxygen species, where the change varies according to the age of the cell or organism. 2
GO:0090399 replicative senescence A cell aging process associated with the dismantling of a cell as a response to telomere shortening and/or cellular aging. 2
GO:0010150 leaf senescence The process that occurs in a leaf near the end of its active life that is associated with the dismantling of cell components and membranes, loss of functional chloroplasts, and an overall decline in metabolism. 1
GO:0009836 fruit ripening, climacteric A fruit ripening process that involves a burst of respiration and ethylene (ethene) evolution at the onset. 1
