Xenobiotic Monitoring in Plants by 19F and 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy

Abstract

¹⁹F and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy have been used to monitor the uptake of trifluoroacetic acid in stems and leaves of Lycopersicon esculentum. The movement and location of a xenobiotic have been demonstrated in vivo by a noninvasive technique.
