Agronomic biofortification of crops with selenium (Se) is an important strategy to minimize
hidden hunger and increase nutrient intake in poor populations. Selenium is an element that …

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for humans and animals and its deficiency in the diet
is a global problem. Crop plants are the main source of Se for consumers. Therefore, there is …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide at low concentrations act as
signaling of several abiotic stresses. Overproduction of hydrogen peroxide causes the …

Understanding the bioavailability of selenium (Se) in the soil–plant system plays a vital role
in phytoremediation and agronomic biofortification strategies. This review aimed to (a) …

Selenium (Se) is a beneficial element to higher plants. Application of Se at low
concentrations enhances the antioxidant metabolism reducing the reactive oxygen species …

Soil depletion with absorbed forms of microelements is a realistic problem leading to the
formation of many human, plant, animal diseases related with micronutrient deficiencies …

Selenium-biofortified wheat can substantially improve human nutrition, by reducing
selenium deficiency in humans. In this study, field trials were conducted to investigate the …

Selenium (Se) is essential to humans and animals due to its antioxidant properties. Although
it is not considered an essential nutrient for higher plants. Many studies show that Se in low …

Selenium (Se) is considered a beneficial element for plants; however, in high
concentrations, it causes negative effects on plant physiology and development. This study …

We investigated the mechanistic consequences of selenium (Se)-toxicity, and its possible
mitigation using salicylic acid (SA) in rice. In comparison with control, sodium selenate …
