This open access book is only an introduction to show that
radiation and radioisotopes (RI) are premier tools to study living
plant physiology which leads to new findings. Who had ever imagined
that we could see water in a plant? Who had ever imagined that we
could see ions moving toward roots in solution? Who had ever
imagined that we could see invisible gas (CO2) fixation and
movement in a plant? These studies demonstrated for the first time
that water, ions and gas can be visualized in living plants, which
could be hardly seen by anyone before. This publication summarizes
the results obtained by Nakanishi's lab in The Univ. of Tokyo,
based on her original concept and her original tools or systems. It
is useful for professional scientists, plant physiologist, and
those studying plant imaging. The chapters demonstrates the
innovative imaging work of the author, using radioactive tracers
and neutron beam to follow the absorption and transport manner of
water as well as major, minor, and trace elements in plants.
Through these studies the author developed a real-time macroscopic
and microscopic imaging system able to apply commercially available
gamma- and beta-ray emitters. The real-time movement of the
elements is now possible by using 14C, 18F, 22Na, 28Mg, 32P, 33P,
35S, 42K, 45Ca, 48V, 54Mn, 55Fe, 59Fe, 65Zn, 86Rb, 109Cd, and
137Cs. The imaging methods was applied to study the effect of 137Cs
following 3/11 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant accident, which has
revealed the movements of radiocesium in the contaminated sites.
