On the Kinematics and Dynamics of Plant Growthrocess. The irreversible expansion of plant cells is thought to involve an osmotically driven uptake of water and concomitant yielding of the cellulosic cell wall under turgor pressure. For my contribution to this symposium, I emphasize analysis of plant growth in continuum mechanical terms. I will

During the last decade many attempts have been made to use the variations of stem and fruit to schedule irrigation, especially in

No attempt will be made here to review this research, but a few introductory comments on hypoosmotic exposure are in order. The extent to which osmolarity of the surrounding medium

For a sufficiently-large osmotic pressurization, mechanical failure of the cell structure may ensue. This failure can result in immediate rupture of the cell permeability barrier (lysis) and loss of cytosoli
