Oxygen- sensitive phosphorescent microbeads were injected into the cells and an optical multifrequency phase-modulation technique was used to discriminate the sensor signal from the strong auto fluorescence of the plant tissue. The method was established using photosynthesis- competent cells of the giant algae Chara corallina L., and was validated by application to various cell types of other plant species Y1 - 2005 SN - 0006-3495 ER -
