Answer

Munch

Explanation

Solution

Mass flow or pressure flow hypothesis was put forward by Munch (1927,1930)(1927,1930). According to this hypothesis, organic substances move from the region of high osmotic pressure to the region of low osmotic pressure in a mass flow due to the development of a gradient of turgor pressure.
