In simple words we can say if a plant cell is kept in hypotonic solution then it will expand and get turgid due to the process of endosmosis as water concentration outside the cell is more than inside the cell so, in order to  achieve equilibrium the water enters in the cell
& hence the plant (unlike an animal cell) will not burst because it has a thick layer of cell wall present that applies Turger pressure on incoming water if the cell gets filled up completely..

Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution.

hence,cell shrinkage occurs…



If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonicsolution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane and making the plant cell shrink and crumple. A continued decrease in pressure eventually leads to cytorrhysis – the complete collapse of the cell wall. Plants with cells in this condition wilt. After plasmolysis the gap between the cell wall and the cell membrane in a plant cell is filled withhypertonic solution. This is because as the solution surrounding the cell is hypertonic, exosmosis takes place and the space between the cell wall and cytoplasm is filled with solutes, as most of the water drains away and hence the concentration inside the cell becomes more hypertonic…
