Scientists refine the equations for mechanical stiffness to apply to plant cell walls based on elastic shell theory - Phys.org

Scientists from Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) have used elastic shell theory to describe how the stiffness of plant cell walls depends on their elasticity and internal turgor pressure. By utilizing atomic force microscopy (AFM) combined wit…
