“…On the other hand, beta-plus rays originating from shallower tissue underneath the surface are penetrating to the air and have little chance to emit annihilation gamma rays, so that errors of positron imaging increase. Therefore, an imaging technique was developed recently that focused on weak Cherenkov light (Figure 7), which is generated when beta rays pass through tissue [46,47]. Cherenkov light is emitted closer to the RIs than beta rays because of the energy threshold of the light emission.…”

Soil provides most of the essential elements required for the growth of plants. These elements are absorbed by the roots and then transported to the leaves via the xylem. Photoassimilates and other nutrients are translocated from the leaves to the maturing organs via the phloem. Non-essential elements are also transported via the same route. Therefore, an accurate understanding of the movement of these elements across the plant body is of paramount importance in plant science research. Radioisotope imaging is often utilized to understand element kinetics in the plant body. Live plant imaging is one of the recent advancements in this field. In this article, we recapitulate the developments in radioisotope imaging technology for plant science research in Japanese research groups. This collation provides useful insights into the application of radioisotope imaging technology in wide domains including plant science.
