Microbial bio-transformations of the essential trace element selenium are now recognized to
occur among a wide variety of microorganisms. These transformations are used to convert …

Plants accumulate and tolerate Se to varying degrees, up to 15,000 mg Se/kg dry weight for
Se hyperaccumulators. Plant Se accumulation may exert positive or negative effects on …

The use of arsenic (As) for various industrial and agricultural applications has led to
worldwide environmental contamination. Phytoremediation using hyperaccumulators is a …

It is unknown whether soil microbiota and soil bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of
selenium hyperaccumulator plants can affect selenium absorption by selenium non …

Selenium (Se) is considered a beneficial element in higher plants when provided at low
concentrations. Recently, studies have unveiled the interactions between Se and ethylene …

Earlier studies have shown that Stanleya pinnata benefits from selenium hyperaccumulation
through ecological benefits and enhanced growth. However, no investigation has assayed …

Premise Intraspecific variation in flower microbiome composition can mediate pollination
and reproduction, and so understanding the community assembly processes driving this …

Background Microbiomes, essential to ecosystem processes, face strong selective forces
that can drive rapid evolutionary adaptation. However, our understanding of evolutionary …

Coal mine and coal-fired power plant are the main sources of selenium (Se) and mercury
(Hg) for the collapsed lakes derived from mining subsidence. However, whether and how Se …

Elemental hyperaccumulation protects plants from many aboveground herbivores. Little is
