We adopted the "Live-autoradiography" technique with radioactive 
Fe to directly evaluate the uptake rate of Fe by barley cultivars from a nutrient solution containing a very low concentration of Fe. Our observations revealed that the ability to acquire Fe from the low Fe solution was not always the sole determinant of tolerance to Fe deficiency among the barley genotypes.

) plants have porous or hollow organs consisting of aerenchyma, which is presumed to function as a low-resistance diffusion pathway for air to travel from the foliage above the water to submerged organs. However, gas movement in rice plants has yet to be visualized in real time. In this study involving partially submerged rice plants, the leaves emerging from the water were fed nitrogen-13-labeled nitrogen ([
N]N) tracer gas, and the gas movement downward along the leaf blade, leaf sheath, and internode over time was monitored.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：11.10(Physics, Applied)Radioisotope tracer imaging is useful for studying plant physiological phenomena. In this study, we developed an autoradiography system with phosphor powder (ZnS:Ag), "Live-autoradiography", for imaging radioisotope dynamics in a living plant. This system visualizes the element migration and accumulation in intact plants continuously under a light environment. An imaging test was performed on point sources of Cs, with a radioactivity of 10-100 kBq of being observed; this indicates satisfactory system linearity between the image intensity and the radioactivity of Cs. Moreover, dynamics imaging of Cs was performed on an intact soybean plant for four days. The serial images indicated Cs accumulation in the node, vein, and growing point of the plant. The developed system can be used for studying plant physiological phenomena and can be employed for quantitative measurement of radionuclides.

Times Cited Count：15 Percentile：72.96(Plant Sciences)In this study, C-photosynthate translocation into strawberry fruits in individual plants was visualized non-invasively and repeatedly using a positron emission tracer imaging system (PETIS) to assess the spatiotemporal variability in the translocation dynamics in response to increasing daylight integrals. This is the first study to use C-radioisotopes to clarify the spatiotemporal variability in photosynthate translocation from source leaves to individual sink fruits in vivo in response to increasing daylight integrals at a high spatiotemporal resolution.

Times Cited Count：11 Percentile：51.99(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The release of rhizodeposits differs depending on the root position and is closely related to the assimilated carbon (C) supply. Therefore, quantifying the C partitioning over a short period may provide crucial information for clarifying root-soil carbon metabolism. A non-invasive method for visualising the translocation of recently assimilated C into the root system inside the rhizobox was established using CO
labelling and the positron-emitting tracer imaging system. The spatial distribution of recent C-photoassimilates translocated and released in the root system and soil were visualised for white lupin (
) and soybean (
). Our method enabled the quantification of the spatial C allocations in roots and soil, which may help to elucidate the relationship between C metabolism and nutrient cycling at specific locations of the root-soil system in response to environmental conditions over relatively short periods.

Times Cited Count：32 Percentile：73.38(Plant Sciences)We analyzed the directions and rates of translocation of sodium ions (Na
) within tissues of a salt-tolerant plant, common reed, and a salt-sensitive plant, rice, under constant high-salt conditions using radioactive 
Na tracer and a positron-emitting tracer imaging system (PETIS). First, the test plants were incubated in a nutrient solution containing 50 mM NaCl and a trace level of Na for 24 h (feeding step). Then the original solution was replaced with a fresh solution containing 50 mM NaCl but no Na, in which the test plants remained for over 48 h (chase step). Non-invasive visualization of Na movement in the test plants was conducted during feeding and chase steps with PETIS. Our results revealed that Na was absorbed in the roots of common reed, but not transported to the upper shoot beyond the shoot base. During the chase step, a basal-to-distal movement of Na was detected within the root tissue with a velocity of approximately 0.5 cm h
. On the other hand, Na that absorbed in the roots of rice was continuously translocated to the whole shoot. We concluded that the basal roots and the shoot base of common reed have constitutive functions of Na exclusion only in the direction of root tips, even under constant high-salt conditions. This function may apparently contribute to the low Na concentration in the upper shoot and high salt tolerance of common reed.
