Time-resolved fluorescence measurements of malachite green dye molecules doped in onion cells were carried out. The fluorescence decay time was dependent on the individual cell and on the position of the dye in a cell, which reflect the microscopic dynamics of each bound site. Upon cooling, the decay time increased and this increase was accelerated at around the freezing point of the onion cell.
