Item 3.01               Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on June 15, 2007, Senesco Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) providing notification that, the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the AMEX Company Guide (the “Rule”) with shareholder’s equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years.

The notice was based on a review by the AMEX of Senesco Technologies, Inc. Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2007.

To maintain an AMEX listing, Senesco was required to submit a plan by July 16, 2007 advising AMEX of action it has taken, or will take that would bring Senesco into compliance with the continued listing standards within a maximum of 18 months from the date of notification by AMEX.

On July 16, 2007, the Company timely submitted a plan advising the AMEX of action it has taken, or will take, which would bring the Company into compliance with the AMEX continued listing standards.

The Listings Qualifications Department of AMEX will evaluate the Company’s plan, and it has 45 days to determine whether it reasonably demonstrates the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months during which the Company will remain listed on AMEX. If AMEX accepts the Company’s plan, it may be able to continue its listing during the plan period provided that the Company makes progress consistent with its plan and complies with other applicable AMEX listing qualifications. If the AMEX determines that the Company’s plan does not demonstrate its ability to regain compliance with the AMEX’s continued listing standards or the Company fails to make progress consistent with the plan accepted by the AMEX, the AMEX may initiate delisting procedures. The Company may appeal any delisting at that time.  During the plan period, the Company will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the Company’s submission of a plan to the AMEX of action it has taken, or will take, which would bring the Company into compliance with the AMEX’s continued listing standards is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
