The turgor loss point is reached when leaf cells become so dehydrated their walls become flaccid.

- The condition of being swollen and congested. Turgor vitalis: the normal consistence of living tissue.
- Opposite of wilt. Full of water to the point of remaining rigid (or turgid - swollen or distended).
- Describes the water pressure in the cells of African Violets and other plants. It is this pressure which gives the plant enough firmness or turgidity to stand up. Without sufficient turgor, the plant's leaves and flowers would sag.
- The status of water content of a plant cell
- Distension, swelling.
