Project description
A collaborative research project and proposal is planned based on the short-lived isotope 11C. We will use the 11C istope to follow in vivo the internal transport of carbon in plants. A series of preliminary experiments are scheduled. Our proposal will be submitted to the US National Science Foundation. Student mentoring and seminars are also planned.
