The pressure potential in a plant cell is usually positive. In plasmolysed cells, pressure potential is almost zero. Negative pressure potentials occur when water is pulled through an open system such as a plant xylem vessel

Pressure potential is the hydrostatic pressure exerted on water in a cell. When a cell is kept in a hyptonic solution, the plant cell becomes turgid. In this, the pressure potential is a positive value. When a cell a kept in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell becomes plasmolysed. In this, the pressure potential is negative.
