11C-PET imaging reveals transport dynamics and sectorial plasticity of oak phloem after girdling

Carbon transport processes in plants can be followed non-invasively by repeated application of the short-lived positron-emitting radioisotope 11C, a technique which has rarely been used with trees. Recently, positron emission tomography (PET) allowing 3D visualisation has been adapted for use with p...
