From the sap, a fraction of the CO2 can either radially diffuse to the atmosphere or be assimilated in chloroplasts present in woody tissues. These processes occur simultaneously in stems and branches making it difficult to study their specific dynamics. Therefore, an 11C-enriched aqueous solution was administered to young branches of Populus tremula L., which were subsequently imaged by positron emission tomography (PET). This approach allows in vivo visualization of the internal movement of CO2 inside branches at high spatial and temporal resolution, and enables direct measurement of the transport speed of xylem-transported CO2 ($v_CO2$). Through compartmental modeling of the dynamic data obtained from the PET images we (i) quantified $v_CO2$ and (ii) proposed a new method to assess the fate of xylem-transported 11CO2 within the branches. It was found that a fraction of 0.49 min-1 of CO2 present in the xylem was transported upwards. A fraction of 0.38 min-1 diffused radially from the sap to the surrounding parenchyma and apoplastic spaces (CO2,PA) to be assimilated by woody tissue photosynthesis. Another 0.12 min-1 of the xylem-transported CO2 diffused to the atmosphere via efflux. The remaining CO2 (i.e., 0.01 min-1) was stored as CO2,PA, representing the build-up within parenchyma and apoplastic spaces to be assimilated or directed to the atmosphere. Here, we demonstrate the outstanding potential of 11CO2-based plant-PET in combination with compartmental modeling to advance our understanding of internal CO2 movement and the respiratory physiology within woody tissues. © The Author(s) 2020.
