Osmosis is not driven by water dilution.

Abstract:

:There is a misconception among plant scientists that osmosis is driven by the tendency of solutes to dilute water. In this opinion article, we discuss the quantitative and qualitative failures of this view, and go on to review the correct kinetic picture of osmosis as it appears in physics textbooks.

  • Salicylic acid-induced resistance to viruses and other pathogens: a parting of the ways?

    abstract::Resistance genes allow plants to recognize specific pathogens. Recognition results in the activation of a variety of defence responses, including localized programmed cell death (the hypersensitive response), synthesis of pathogenesis-related proteins and induction of systemic acquired resistance. These responses are ...
