This paper describes the chip that is used for generating nanosecond surface micron-size discharges, as well as the results of observations of their interaction with surfaces of living tissues of plants: onion shell, leaves of Canada water weed, and day nettle petals. The interaction was observed for the first time in cellular size range. It was identified that the trajectories of plasma discharge channels follow intercellular walls and have a zigzag shape. It was also identified that a single discharge having < 0.5 mJ energy results in destruction of cell wall, which stimulates intensive juice excretion.
