The relationship between composition and structure of plant primary cell walls, and cell mechanical properties is not fully understood, partly because intrinsic properties of walls such as Young's modulus cannot be obtained readily. The aim of this work is to show that Young's modulus of walls of single suspension-cultured tomato cells can be determined by modelling force-deformation data.
