Mechanical factors play an important role in plant tissues growth
and development. Plant growth is tightly connected with cell divisions,
new cell walls appearing and cell volumes increasing caused by turgor
pressure and cell walls loosening and yielding. In biomechanics the
plant tissue is considered as integral porous deformable skeleton of
cell walls filled with viscous incompressible liquid (intracellular liquid
and contents of plant vessels). Xylem sap moves through the xylem
vessels, delivers mineral and regulatory components into cells and
provides increasing of mass of the solid skeleton. The rate of cell
growth is controlled by wall loosening caused by biochemical factors
and wall yielding under the influence of the turgor pressure. The
tissues consist of elements with different geometry and mechanical
properties which are arranged in regular patterns.
