Agricultural/biological applications of NMR

  • Chapter
Research Instrumentation for the 21st Century

Part of the book series: Beltsville Symposia in Agricultural Research ((BSAR,volume 11))

  • 69 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter is designed to introduce the neophyte to a range of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and experiments that have or will have an impact on the solution of agriculture/biological problems. Throughout the various sections I have attempted to use examples from the recent literature as well as work from our own laboratory to illustrate the diversity of applications. The four main topic areas discussed are: (1) multinuclear high field/high resolution methods including 2-D methods for structure determination; (2) in vivo, multinuclear high resolution studies of plant material; (3) solid state cross polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR which will cover the study of intact polymers, soil matrices, seeds and plant tissue metabolism, and (4) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as it is applied to plant and animal tissues and some examples of how it is utilized in conjunction with spatially resolved high resolution surface coil in vivo techniques.
