This thesis investigates the relations between metabolism and anatomy through the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Two model systems are studied: Botryococcus braunii, a green oleaginous algae and Medicago truncatula, a small leguminous plant in symbiosis with Sinorhizobium meliloti bacteria. In order to map the variation of metabolic profiles across tissues, MRI is used extensively, including Chemical Shift Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Diffusion-Weigthed Imaging. Home-built microcoils for ultra-high magnetic field strength are developed for studying the model organisms.
