Exempel på turgor

• It is intriguing how the turgor in the single-cell fibre is maintained and regulated.

• Increases in embryo osmotic potential and in the turgor yield thresholds of both the radicle and the endosperm/pericarp envelope contributed to this change.

• This, together with increases in tissue elasticity, had reduced the leaf water potential at which turgor loss occurred.

• Affected cells are characterized by loss of turgor and lack of distinguishable organelles.

• The loosening reduces the turgor pressure and establishes a water potential gradient across the cell membrane.

• Asterisk: space between plasma membrane and cell wall due to turgor loss.

• Reduction of embryo expansion by turgor limitation is one of the most direct.

• The transgenic seedlings were only marginally affected over the 7-h air-drying period and after rehydration, they fully recovered turgor and recommenced growth.

• The dead epidermal cells lack turgor and have heavily folded walls.

• Measures of water content and water and turgor potentials did not reveal signs of a mild water stress in either treatment.

• Available water is required to ensure the positive turgor pressures necessary to expand growing cells during leaf flush, flowering and fruit development.

• Increasing turgor in the growing perivitelline space may even squeeze out the tips of the microvilli over the surface of the vitelline envelope.

• Figure 9c shows an example of mostly intact axis cells covered with a layer of damaged endosperm cells that are characterized by loss of turgor and lack of distinguishable organelles.

• Egg jelly precursor molecules thus seem to penetrate the vitelline envelope, but slowly and after swelling and turgor pressure has set in.

• Ester loading proves to be unsuccessful in most cases and the cell wall and turgor make plant cells difficult to microinject.
