abstract = {Carbon transport processes in plants can be followed
non-invasively by repeated application of the short-lived
positron-emitting radioisotope 11C, a technique which has
rarely been used with trees. Recently, positron emission
tomography (PET) allowing 3D visualization has been adapted
for use with plants. To investigate the effects of stem
girdling on the flow of assimilates, leaves on first order
branches of two-year-old oak (Quercus robur L.) trees were
labeled with 11C by supplying 11CO2-gas to a leaf cuvette.
Magnetic resonance imaging gave an indication of the plant
structure, while PET registered the tracer flow in a stem
region downstream from the labeled branches. After repeated
pulse labeling, phloem translocation was shown to be
sectorial in the stem: leaf orthostichy determined the
position of the phloem sieve tubes containing labeled 11C.
The observed pathway remained unchanged for days. Tracer
time-series derived from each pulse and analysed with a
mechanistic model showed for two adjacent heights in the
stem a similar velocity but different loss of recent
assimilates. With either complete or partial girdling of
bark within the monitored region, transport immediately
stopped and then resumed in a new location in the stem
cross-section, demonstrating the plasticity of sectoriality.
One day after partial girdling, the loss of tracer along the
interrupted transport pathway increased, while the velocity
was enhanced in a non-girdled sector for several days. These
findings suggest that lateral sugar transport was enhanced
after wounding by a change in the lateral sugar transport
path and the axial transport resumed with the development of
new conductive tissue.},
