Magnetic resonance imaging shows how infection progresses in strawberry crown
Magnetic resonance imaging can be used to visualize plant structures and examine internal damage. Researchers from the Department of Technical Physics and the Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland have used magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, to investigate how the pathogen Phytophthora cactorum affects the growth and development of strawberry plants. This pathogen causes crown rot in strawberries and can lead to significant losses on horticultural crops. The researchers used MRI to investigate differences between healthy and infected
