Maintaining a constant growth rate while avoiding cell content dilution, which would progressively stop the inward water flux, imposes the production or import of osmolytes in proportion to the increase of volume. We coin this phenomenon stationary osmoregulation. The article explores the quantitative consequences of this hypothesis on the interaction of a cylindrical cell growing axially against an obstacle. An instantaneous axial compression of a pressurized cylindrical cell generates a force and a pressure jump, which both decrease towards a lower value once water has flowed out of the cell to reach the water potential equilibrium. In the first part, the article derives analytical formulae for these forces and over-pressure both before and after relaxation. In the second part, we describe how the coupling of the Lockhart growth law with the stationary osmoregulation hypothesis predicts a transient slowdown in growth due to contact before a re-acceleration in growth. We finally compare these predictions with the output of an elastic growth model which ignores the osmotic origin of growth: models only match in the early phase of contact for a high-stiffness obstacle.
