文摘Volumetric elastic modulus (VEM) is an important parameter in biophysics and biomechanics of plants for in particular understanding cell growth. This paper proposes a new relation that can be used for precisely determining VEM. With the aid of this relation, it shows that the exponential approximation of the pressure-volume relationship adopted in most of the literatures in this field may lead to serious errors on VEM.
