Abstract

The complex mechanical behaviour of plant tissues reflects the complexity of their structure and material properties. Modelling has been widely used in studies of how cell walls, single cells and tissue respond to loading, both externally applied loading and loads on the cell wall resulting from changes in the pressure within fluid–filled cells. This paper reviews what approaches have been taken to modelling and simulation of cell wall, cell and tissue mechanics, and to what extent models have been successful in predicting mechanical behaviour. Advances in understanding of cell wall ultrastructure and the control of cell growth present opportunities for modelling to clarify how growth–related mechanical properties arise from wall polymeric structure and biochemistry.
