Item 8.01      Other Events

On July 7, 2009, Senesco Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and ArborGen LLC (“ArborGen’) announced wood quality results from ongoing field trials conducted by ArborGen utilizing technology in-licensed from the Company.  The two companies had previously announced that trees that incorporate technology developed by the Company have shown significantly enhanced growth rates in 3-year-old field trials.

Selected trees from the field trials were harvested and their wood chemistry and density was assessed. There were no differences in key economic characteristics of wood, such as lignin, cellulose, and specific gravity, between the trees with the enhanced growth attributes and untreated control trees.  This is good news as fast tree growth is often associated with lower wood quality.  The results above are preliminary and based on current field trials and may change or vary in the future.  It is anticipated that the Company and ArborGen will continue to collect additional data.

On July 7, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the results of the foregoing study. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
