I'm doing a project in my AP Biology class that is worth a ton of points dealing with geraniums. It is also a contest to see who can get the most from 3 cuttings and the best quality. Mine are dying, but my teacher mentioned something about crushing the cutting and starting a plant from a single healthy parenchyma cell. I would like to know if this is possible, and if so how can I do it. My geraniums are in pretty sorry shape and I don't think I can save the whole of the cuttings. This is my best shot I think.
Can I start geraniums from a single cell? if so, how?
I think you can, provided that the single cell is a meristem cell. Meristem cells are able to reproduce asexually.
