Abstract:In plant research, positron emission tomography (PET) is
occasionally employed for physiological studies, offering valuable
insights. However, the generally high cost of PET systems and their
suboptimal design for plant research pose challenges to their
application in this field. To address these issues, we have
developed a new PET system optimized specifically for plant
research.
The PET detector ring was positioned vertically to enable
measurements of plants in their normal upright position.… Show more
