We developed analytical methods for monitoring carbon translocation and nitrogen fixation in intact plants using short-lived radioactive tracer gases and the positron-emitting tracer imaging system (PETIS). In the analysis of carbon translocation, we fed $$^{11}$$C (half life: 20.4 min)-labeled radioactive carbon dioxide gas to leave blades of rice plants, and serial images of $$^{11}$$C-photoassimilate were obtained non-invasively using PETIS. In order to understand source-sink relations, we manipulated source and sink strength by treating tested rice plants with p-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS), an inhibitor of sucrose transporters. As a result, a decrease in the velocity after the manipulation was successfully detected. In the analysis of nitrogen fixation, we newly developed a rapid method to produce and purify $$^{13}$$N (half life: 10.0 min)-labeled radioactive nitrogen gas and fed the gas to the underground part of nodulated soybean plants. As a result, obvious signal of $$^{13}$$N was observed at the nodules.
