Selenium and Plant: An Invisible Bond
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Selenium is a non-metallic element considered to be an essential nutrient for humans and animals. However, the effect of selenium on plants is controversial as it changes from beneficial to lethal over a range of concentrations. The food systems of few countries deliver an optimum level of selenium to their populations. Thus, knowledge of selenium uptake and metabolism in plants will help us to develop selenium enrich crop cultivars (biofortification) and also for plant mediated removal (phytoremediation) of excess selenium from soil and water.
