Our environment is essential for not only the quality, but also the persistence of life on Earth.
Three of the most pressing environmental issues facing modern society are climate change …

High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRCT) is a non-invasive approach to 3D
visualization and quantification of biological structure. The data, based on differential X-ray …

1 H NMR relaxation times (T 1 and T 2) in parenchyma tissue of apple can identify three
populations of water with different relaxation characteristics. By following the uptake of Mn …

The structural features of the pathways followed by solutes and water are described. The
porous nature of the cell walls comprising the apoplasm is described and the difficulties in …

An outline is given of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microscopy and its application to
plant science. An NMR microscope non-destructively detects free water in tissues and …

Background and Aims Water uptake by dry kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris 'Rajma') and
adzuki beans (Vigna angularis) was traced using micro-magnetic resonance imaging in …

Transverse water proton relaxation in parenchyma tissue of courgette, onion and apple
shows a dependence on CPMG pulse spacing characteristic of each tissue. An analysis of …
