Abstract：
:Aiming at making the Münch model more adequate to the biological reality we introduce certain modifications and complements. Considering the model within the framework of so-called integrated system of long-distance water transport in plants we present a quantitative analysis based on the Kedem-Katchalsky formalism. A new mathematical description of the reverse osmosis is also utilized. The work is a starting point for further quantitative studies and simulations of the phloem transport of water and assimilates in plants.
