Mechanics of Reversible Deformation during Leaf Movement and Regulation of Pulvinus Development in Legumes

Plant cell deformation is a mechanical process that is driven by differences in the osmotic pressure inside and outside of the cell and is influenced by cell wall properties. Legume leaf movements result from reversible deformation of pulvinar motor cells. Reversible cell deformation is an elastic p...
