Abstract
Plants must have a dendritic form which pervades a large environmental volume if they are to acquire passively the raw materials they need. Vacuoles enable them to achieve the dendritic form economically, and with cell walls and turgor account for plant rigidity.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
