Studies on the control of cell wall extension. Progress report, September 1, 1979-August 31, 1980

Description: The growth rate of plant cells can be defined in terms of five parameters: the hydraulic conductivity of the tissue (L'p), the rate of export from the cell to the wall of a wall loosening factor (dW/dt), the capacity of the wall to be loosened in response to the wall loosening factor (WLC), the osmotic potential of the cells and outside solution (..pi../sub c/ and ..pi../sub o/, respectively), and the yield threshold for wall expansion (Y). The study assesses each of these parameters under cond… more
