HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The pressure exerted by the osmotic flow of water is called turgidity. It is caused by the osmotic flow of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a volume with a low solute concentration to one with a higher solute concentration is called osmotic flow.

Detailed explanation-2: -In biology, turgor pressure pertains to the pressure that is exerted by the fluid (e.g. water) against the cell wall. It is also referred to as hydrostatic pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pressure of the cell contents on the cell wall is called wall pressure and the pressure exerted by the cell wall on the cell content is called turgor pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Turgor pressure provides structural integrity to each cell and to the tissue as a whole (Fig. 1). At the cellular level, turgor pressure pushes the plasma membrane against the cell wall and causes in-plane mechanical tension within the cell wall (Fig.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant turgidity is a condition in plants wherein the cells are turgid due to turgor pressure, i.e. the pressure that is being exerted by water inside the cell against the cell wall. One of the important features of a plant organism is its cell wall. A cell wall is another layer surrounding a cell.
