VL - 59 IS - 10 SE - Soft matter DO - 10.15407/ujpe59.10.0989 UR - https://ujp.bitp.kiev.ua/index.php/ujp/article/view/2018537 SP - 989 AB - <p>The dependence of the turgor pressure on the water content in a cellular structure is studied experimentally. The turgor pressure is found to decrease as the water content in a cell diminished. The experimental result is analyzed in the framework of a two-component cell model. The cell wall deformation is demonstrated to make a main contribution to the turgor pressure, so that a drop of the turgor pressure is a consequence of the stress relaxation in the cell wall.</p> ER -
