Can Palisade Cells Survive Independently?

Question

I have been intrigued by this question. Can palisade cells survive independently from its parent plant in a chemical environment? For example, if we were to separate a palisade cell from a plant and place it in sucrose solution, how long would it survive?

Answer 1

Yes they can. In 1902 Haberlandt reported single palisade cell culture from leaves in knop’s salt solution. Now there are many different methods of plant tissue culture
