In this chapter the significant role of different available XRF configurations for both multi‐elemental bulk analysis and element distribution within vegetal tissues has been highlighted. Some of the main advantages of XRF in the field of vegetation sample analysis over other atomic spectroscopic techniques include the simplicity of sample preparation and the possibility to determine elements such as P, S, Cl, and Br which can be of significance in biological processes. Therefore, at present, the importance of XRF as global analytical technique in different aspects of plant sciences is unquestionable and it is foreseen that forthcoming improvements in XRF systems could offer new possibilities in this field in the years ahead.
