Removal of methylation marks would lead to widespread misregulation of gene expression. Plants vary in how they undergo senescence. Some live for millennia, like bristlecone pines, while others live until flowering. In the later case, removal of flowers before they bloom can delay senescence but not block it.
Can prevention of methylation in DNA delay senescence in plants?
Not without anapylathic bitropisation.
