| Transduction of Turgor Pressure by Cell Membrane Compression  | | | | Abstract
| It is suggested that turgor pressure sensing in plant cells occurs via compression of the cell membranes; either at the plasmalemma where a pressure gradient exists, or the tonoplast due to the pressure developed inside the cell. Considerations of electro-mechanical forces in electrical breakdown of cells suggests that significant changes in the thickness of som e regions of the mem brane can indeed occur. It is readily envisaged how such changes in membrane thickness can be coupled to changes in active transport processes. | | | |
