Background Phytoextraction is an in situ technique that can be applied to minerals and
mining wastes using hyperaccumulator plants to purposely bio-concentrate high levels of …

Selenium as an essential trace element for human beings and animals plays a critical role in
human and animal health via various selenoproteins. Recently, the biogeochemical …

Background and aims Proteaceae species strongly acidify their rhizosphere to increase soil
phosphorus (P) availability, which also inadvertently increases the availability of other …

Selenium (Se) hyperaccumulators are a unique group of plants that can accumulate this
element in their aerial parts at concentrations exceeding 100 mg kgDW− 1. These plants …

Main conclusion Micro-analytical techniques to untangle Se distribution and chemical
speciation in plants coupled with molecular biology analysis enable the deciphering of …

This update covers publications from the second half of 2019 to the middle of 2020.
Techniques and applications relevant to clinical and biological materials, foods and …

Abstract Background and Aims Selenium hyperaccumulator species are of primary interest
for studying the evolution of hyperaccumulation and for use in biofortification because …

Background When studying metallophytes and hyperaccumulator plants, it is often desired
to assess the level of tolerance of a specific trace metal/metalloid in a putative tolerant …

Abstract Background The selenomethionine cycle (SeMTC) is a crucial pathway for the
metabolism of selenium. The basic bioinformatics and functions of four enzymes involved in …
