General and Analytic Solutions of the Ortega Equation

Abstract

[Ortega (1985)][1] proposed a simple first-order differential equation to describe plant cell extension and, unlike the Lockhart equation ([Lockhart, 1965][2]), it takes into account elastic deformation of the cell wall. [Cosgrove (1985)][3] and [Ortega (1985)][1] solved the equation for the
