Physiological disorders in stored flower bulbs as-sessed by magnetic resonance imaging

In horticultural practice, the forcing of flower bulbs may induce physiological disorders, which are usually not visible externally. The possibilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool to detect such disorders induced by storage con-ditions have been assessed. With the use of T2-weighted images, water concentration maps and T1 and T2 maps, both bud abortion in Hippeastrum and tulip bulbs and water-soaking in lily bulbs could be de-tected and studied.
