The photoassimilate flow in an intact plant stem was imaged in real-time and its dynamics was quantitatively described using the Positron Emitting Tracer Imaging System (PETIS). Radioactive (CO2)-C-11 was fed to a leaf of an intact broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plant, together with air containing an ambient concentration of non-radioactive carrier CO2 gas. Movies of flow of the C-11-labeled photoassimilates in the plant body were captured with PETIS. Here we demonstrate that the average flow speeds and the distribution ratios of photoassimilates in the respective nodes and internodes of the observed stem can be estimated by the transfer function analysis, one of the mathematical modeling, methods. We also estimated the changes in the spatial distribution of the average flow speeds in the same stem when the fed leaf was exposed to enriched carrier CO2 gas.
