Direct measurements of the volumetric elastic modulus, ε, of cells of a higher plant were performed on the epidermal bladder cells of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum using a pressure probe technique.
Learn how trees make survival decisions, including shutting down food production during water scarcity. Trees are smarter ...
The changes in turgor pressure that accompany the mobilisation of sucrose and accumulation of salts by excised disks of storage-root tissue of red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) have been investigated. Disks ...
Ikoma, Japan – Scientists from Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) have used elastic shell theory to describe how the stiffness of plant cell walls depends on their elasticity and ...
Turgor (hydrostatic pressure within the cell) is a major driving force for cell expansion in fungi and in other walled cells. It is created by the accumulation of solutes inside the cell. The ...
Life scientists have discovered a new method to quickly assess plants' drought tolerance that works for many diverse species growing around the world. UCLA life scientists, working with colleagues in ...
New research is set to change the textbook understanding of how plants breathe. Previous explanations of how plants take up carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen have focussed on thickening of the ...

Too little pressure can cause the cell to shrink. Cells can regulate their turgor pressure osmotic flows that tend to balance the salt concentrations between the interior and the outside of the wall.
