Type: Term Pronunciation: tŭr′gōr Definitions: 1. Fullness.
Skin elasticity.
[n] - (biology) the normal rigid state of fullness of a cell or blood vessel or capillary resulting from pressure of the contents against the wall or membrane
noun (biology) the normal rigid state of fullness of a cell or blood vessel or capillary resulting from pressure of the contents against the wall or membrane
Rigid condition of a plant caused by the fluid contents of a plant cell exerting a mechanical pressure against the cell wall. Turgor supports plants that do not have woody stems. Plants lacking in turgor visibly wilt. The process of osmosis plays an important part in maintaining the turgidity of plan...
the normal distention or rigidity of plant cells, resulting from the pressure exerted by the cell contents on the cell walls. · the state of being swollen or distended.
