palisade layer

Palisade cells are cells found within the mesophyll in leaves of dicotyledonous plants.

In plants, it is part of the mesophyll, where it forms a layer next to the palisade cells in the leaf.

"I'm going to wash off the makeup, and maybe this scar as well, if enough palisade cells on the skin of my face have sloughed off.

Cells in the mesophyll layer remain mostly unchanged; there is a slight reduction [chloroplast] number in palisade cells.

After splitting of the peridal layers to expose the gleba, enzymatic conversion of glycogen to glucose increases the internal osmotic pressure and the turgidity of palisade cells in the inner peridial cup.

Specifically, the presence of a thin or lack of a cuticular layer, reduced number of palisade cells, irregular stomata, less developed cell wall and large intracellular spaces in the mesophyll cell layer have been described as some of the anatomic changes associated with hyperhydricity.

Anderson et al. (2005) wrote: "synapomorphic characters that link the fossils seeds [of P. splendens] to extant Aldrovanda include hard testa with an outer epidermis of palisade cells and with a smooth, strongly reflecting surface, short micropylar neck, and extruding, pointed chalazal area".
