We present real time Vanadate (V$$^{5+}$$) uptake imaging in a cowpea plant by Positron Emitting Tracer Imaging System (PETIS). Vanadium-48 was produced by bombarding a Sc foil target with 50 MeV $$alpha$$-particles at Takasaki Ion accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application (TIARA) AVF cyclotron. Then $$^{48}$$V was added to the culture solution to investigate the V distribution in a cowpea plant. The real time uptake of the $$^{48}$$V was monitored by PETIS. We measured the distribution of $$^{48}$$V in a whole plant after 3, 6 and 20 hours of V treatment by Bio-imaging Analyzer System (BAS). After the 20 hour treatment, vanadate was detected at the up-ground part of the plant. To know the effect of V uptake on plant activity, $$^{18}$$F-labeled water uptake was analyzed by PETIS. When a cowpea plant was treated with V for 20 hours before $$^{18}$$F-labeled water uptake experiment, the total amount of $$^{18}$$F-labeled water absorption was drastically desreased. Results suggest the inhibition of water uptake was mainly caused by the vanadate already moved to the up-ground part of the plant.

$$^{18}$$F used as tracer to study water uptake and transport imaging of a cowpea plant

We present the water uptake ability of cowpea ($$it {Vigna unguliculata Walp.}$$) which has been regarded as one of the most drought resistant species among the pulse crops. It has been suggested that in the lower part of the stem, parenchymatous tissue for storing water had been developed for the function of deought resistance. We confirmed that in this tissue, water amount was high compared to the other stems by neutron radiography. Then the water uptake manner was measured by positron emitting tracer imaging system (PETIS) using $$^{18}$$F labeled water produced by a cyclotron. Comparing the water uptake manner of cowpea plant with that of common bean, cowpea plant was found to maintain high water uptake activity after drying treatment, suggesting the high drought resistant character.
