      abstract     = {Tracer techniques have been central in studies of transport
                      in plants. In the case of carbon, the only readily available
                      radioactive tracer has been C-14, although C-11 was used for
                      a short time before C-14 could be made. Tracers have usually
                      had to be measured by destructive harvesting of the plant,
                      giving a practical limit to the data resolution in both time
                      and space. A major advantage of the short-lived,
                      positron-emitting tracers, of which C-11 is one example, is
                      that in vivo measurement is possible, giving detailed time
                      series of tracer data in many locations and opening up
                      powerful new techniques of data analysis. Medical
                      applications of these isotopes have utilised both dynamic
                      imaging and time courses of uptake or washout.
                      Unfortunately, few plant biology laboratories have realised
                      the potential of these techniques, possibly because of the
                      large physics infrastructure needed. In this paper we review
                      the concepts behind the use of these short-lived tracers in
                      plant physiology, and illustrate with several cases where
                      C-11 was an essential tool.},
