Plants can get cancer

This is a reply to a paper entitled “Why donʹt plants get cancer”, with an opposite opinion, and with arguments. Although there are many similitudes betwen animal and plant cancerous cells and organisms, because plant cancerous cells cannot become circulating metastases, plant cancer at the end of a neoplastic progression has needed a specific definition. The typical plant cancer trait is the irreversible loss of organogenic totipotency, i.e. the capacity of cancerous cells to reorganize primary organogenic meristems.
