The principal investigator proposes to construct miniature fiber                optic chemical sensors (FOCS) for the in-situ, nondestructive                   analysis of gases and liquids in living plants in their                         microenvironments.  This will be accomplished by using remote                   fiber fluorimetry, a new technology that integrates fiber optics,               lasers, chemistry, optics, and spectroscopy.  The key to this                   approach is the FOCS, a fiber optic with a chemically reactive tip              at its distal end.  Proper selection of the FOCS chemistry                      provides a sensitive, species-specific sensor.  In the proposed                 research, emphasis will be on miniaturizing these sensors so that               they ultimately can be inserted into the tissues of living plants.              Phase one will focus on the carbon dioxide FOCS. In phase two FOCS              for oxygen and water will be researched.  Together development of               these FOCS will enable in-situ measurements during                              photosynthesis.
