Augmented Growth Equation for Cell Wall Expansion 1

Joseph K E Ortega 1
PMCID: PMC1074876  PMID: 16664396

Abstract

The Growth Equation representing the relative rate of irreversible wall expansion is augmented with an elastic expansion component. Some of the utility of this augmented Growth Equation is demonstrated through selected applications.
