Abstract:
Spatial structure and water distribution in branch tissues after mechanical injury were investigated in vivo by three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy. On a beech tree (Fagus sylvatica L.), transplanted in a portable pot, a branch was topped and then MR imaged. High-resolution 3D MR images revealed structures which could not be identified by conventional MR images or by light microscopy. MR measurements confirmed our assumption that moisture content is decreasing towards the wounded part of the branch. This indicates that quick moisture loss from mechanically wounded tissues represents the initial passive response of compromised tissue.
