Abstract
Water flow and water potential have been measured non-invasively in the stem of an intact gherkin plant in a single, pulsed NMR experiment under various physiological conditions.
Flow can be measured directly by NMR, whereas the water content and water potential has been monitored by the NMR spin-spin relaxation time T2. Based on our experimental results, we suggest that a portable pulsed NMR spectrometer may serve as a sensor in greenhouse climate control.
