Seasonal Changes in the Dynamic State of Water for Excised Cherry Branches (Prunus lannesiana) Observed Using Dedicated Micro-Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract:Seasonal changes in the dynamic state of water for cherry (Prunus lannesiana), a deciduous broad-leaved tree, were studied by combined k-space and q-space imaging using dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a 1.0-T permanent magnet. Water amounts, diffusion coefficients and transpiration were examined for excised branches cut from a tree with and without weak light (100-140 µmol m -2 s -1 ) throughout the year. The water amount in the cambium was large in spring and summer, decreased in autumn, and d… Show more
