Development of Non-destructive Radioisotope Imaging to Visualize Element Dynamics in Plants

Distribution of nutrients in plants has a significant impact on crop yield and taste; hence, a knowledge of plant-nutrient relationships is important for developing crop production strategies. The dynamics of element transport and accumulation in plants can be difficult to analyze because they are c...

Summary:Distribution of nutrients in plants has a significant impact on crop yield and taste; hence, a knowledge of plant-nutrient relationships is important for developing crop production strategies. The dynamics of element transport and accumulation in plants can be difficult to analyze because they are constantly changing, and the mechanisms underlying element dynamics and distribution control remain unknown. Radioisotope imaging in live plants can be useful for the analyses of changes in element transport and accumulation.
