Evidence that endosperm turgor pressure both promotes and restricts seed growth and size
In plants, as in animals, organ growth depends on mechanical interactions between cells
and tissues, and is controlled by both biochemical and mechanical cues. Here, we …

Quantifying hydrostatic pressure in plant cells by using indentation with an atomic force microscope
Plant cell growth depends on a delicate balance between an inner drive—the hydrostatic
pressure known as turgor—and an outer restraint—the polymeric wall that surrounds a cell …
