Studies of trace element transport in plants using high resolution γ-ray spectroscopy and perturbed directional correlation measurements

Two examples are given to illustrate how modern experimental techniques may extend the scope of possibilities of radiotracer applications. The first example refers to the use of a Ge-detector -ray spectrometer to measure the transport in plants of 15 elements simultaneously. The second example presented is an in-vivo study of the binding of Cd-ions in plants using meansurements of perturbed --directional correlations.
