However, the conventional measurement tools used in plant science are invasive and require calibration by statistical analysis over a large number of test plants. RI imaging is one of the most powerful tools for conducting research on the distribution and translocation nutrition of water, nitrogen, mineral nutrients, etc., and environmental pollutants in plants, noninvasively. For analysis of carbon kinetics in a plant body, it is possible with the positron-emitting radioisotope C-11, which has a short half-life, and positron imaging systems. The carbon kinetics makes it a strong potential candidate for application to the analysis of physiologies involved in photosynthesis and photoassimilate translocation. The C-11 imaging approach has been used for real-time and quantitative video imaging of tracer dynamics during carbon fixation, photosynthesis, and photoassimilate translocation. In this paper, we describe the latest method to image the dynamics of C-11 compounds in the plant body using RI imaging method and discuss its applicability to investigations of the kinetics of carbon nutrients during photosynthesis and photoassimilate translocation and unloading. Elucidation of the carbon kinetics in a plant body clearly leads to agricultural study on the growth and development of grains and fruits., World Congress on Light and Life (17th Congress of the International Union of Photobiology and 18th Congress of the European Society for Photobiology)}, title = {How to image carbon dynamics of photosynthesis and photosynthetic products}, year = {2019} }
