• Label: Osmotic potential
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0021057
• Type: numeric
• Definition: In a plant tissue [CARO:0000043], the potential energy [ENVO:2000016] of water [CHEBI:15377] molecules to flow [NCIT:C41141] across a semi-permeable [PATO:0000982] membrane [GO:0016020] due to the differences in solute [SIO:010418] concentration [PATO:0000033] across the membrane, such that the osmotic potential becomes more negative as the solute concentration increases or the cell water content decreases. Osmotic potential is equal to negative osmotic pressure [EnvThes:21558] and is also referred to as solute potential.;The potential energy of water molecules to move across a semi-permeable membrane due to differences in solute concentration across the membrane; solute potential
• Additional comments: None
• units: MPa
• allowable range: -10 - 0 MPa
