We know that tissue culture has made it possible to produce a new plant from any part of a plant. A small part of a plant which is utilized for growing a plant through tissue culture is called explants. So, theoretically; a single cell from a plant can be utilized to produce a thousand plants of the same species. Thus, “Give me a living cell of any plant, and I will give you a thousand plants of the same type” is scientifically possible.
