Extensibility and rheology of collenchyma I. Creep relaxation and viscoelasticity of young and senescent cells

Abstract

The extensibility of collenchyma cells was methodologically analyzed; extensibility (elasticity and plasticity) and rheology of this tissue are discussed. Experimental conditions are described. Rheological data for young and senescent cells were obtained; they were found to be not Boltzmannian. The permanent strain is not viscous, and is larger for young cells than older one
