This research develops an elastic constitutive model for the mechanical         behavior of soft plant tissue and verifies the predictive relationships         with experiments.  The experiments are specifically designed to measure         the cell turgor pressure and the mechanical response of the tissue.             The findings from this research will provide a theoretical basis for            inferring cell mechanical properties from gross tissue properties.  The         results will help to upgrade the state-of-the-art understanding of the          mechanics of soft tissues and food losses associated with packaging and         transport.
