🔬 Lockhart Cell Growth: Turgor, Yield Threshold and Wall Stress (2D)

Side view of a plant cell with a cellulose wall, solutes inside and arrows for turgor pressure. Choose wall extensibility, yield threshold, water conductivity, the osmotic pressure outside, solute supply, the microfibril angle and the wall thickness, and watch the cell lengthen or fatten, stall in drought or burst. Plots show turgor, growth rate, steady growth against the yield threshold and the share of growth along the cell. Four in-page numerical checks.
