Abstract

We have combined nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging on the microscopic scale with chemical shift selection to demonstrate the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to plant histochemistry. As an example of the method we have obtained separate images of the distribution of reserve oil and anethole in dried fennel mericarps. The technique can be employed to separately image the distribution of aromatics, carbohydrates, oils, water and possibly fatty acids in suitable plant materials.
