Theoretical Analyses of Turgor Pressure during Stress Relaxation and Water Uptake, and after Changes in Expansive Growth Rate When Water Uptake Is Normal and Reduced

Turgor pressure provides the force needed to stress and deform the cell walls of plants, algae, and fungi during expansive growth. However, turgor pressure plays another subtle but equally important role in expansive growth of walled cells: it connects the two biophysical processes of water uptake a...
