Microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (£gMRI) is a powerful tool for studying the structure and dynamics of various biological systems in vivo. A particular advantage of£gMRI related to this type of applications is that many different images can be acquired on the same object, each of them being important and meaningful. In this work, we report the results of applying£gMRI to the study of the biological process of a real plant (sesame seed). With weighting of longitudinal and transverse relaxation, diffusion as well as multi-quantum coherences, a series of images of sesame seed in the process of germination, with spatial resolution of several micrometers or tens of micrometers, has been obtained (examples given in Fig.1). The images are analyzed based on the physiological characteristics of the sesame seed. Some insights are drawn from these images obtained with different weightings.
