Selenium desorption in tropical soils by sulfate and phosphate, and selenium biofortification of Mombaca grass under increasing rates of phosphate fertilisation

Maria Jessica Vieira dos Santos et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of selenate and selenite in two oxidic soils with different soil textures, as well as the competitive effects of phosphate and sulfate on selenium desorption. It was found that selenium adsorption varied depending on speciation, rate, and soil texture, with selenite showing greater adsorption than selenate. In the biofortification experiment with Panicum maximum cv. Mombaca, it was observed that increasing phosphate fertilization rates led to higher selenium content in the plant shoots.

Selenium application influenced selenium biofortification and physiological traits in water-deficit common bean plants

Ruby Antonieta Vega Ravello et al.

Summary: This study showed that agronomic biofortification with selenium can enhance the tolerance of common bean plants to water deficit conditions, with positive effects seen at lower rates of selenium application. The enrichment of common bean grains with selenium demonstrated improved plant defense systems and nutrient accumulation without compromising biomass production under water deficit stress.

Selenium bioaccessibility in native seleniferous soil and associated plants: Comparison between in vitro assays and chemical extraction methods

Fei Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that in seleniferous areas, selenium in soil mainly exists in stable forms, and the selenium content in crops is significantly correlated with organic-bound and phosphate-extractable selenium content in soil. The different in vitro digestion methods showed consistent results in determining selenium bioaccessibility in soil and crops, with PBET method considered as the optimum approach.

Exploring the new dimensions of selenium research to understand the underlying mechanism of its uptake, translocation, and accumulation

Meenakshi Raina et al.

Summary: Selenium is a vital mineral for plants and animals, but plants vary in their physiological response and uptake of selenium. Genetic control determines the selenium content in edible plants, with high concentrations potentially harmful to plant health. Understanding selenium uptake and metabolism in plants can lead to genetic biofortification and phytoremediation.

Fate of selenium in biofortification of wheat on calcareous soil: an isotopic study

Saeed Ahmad et al.

Summary: Selenium biofortification of staple cereal crops can improve the Se nutritional status of populations; however, factors such as residual Se, soil adsorption capacity, and water irrigation can affect the efficiency of Se biofortification. Repeat applications of Se are necessary to ensure adequate Se biofortification each year.

Selenium transport and metabolism in plants: Phytoremediation and biofortification implications

Richard C. Trippe et al.

Summary: This review synthesizes current knowledge on selenium transport and metabolism in plants, emphasizing the importance of selenium for biofortification and phytoremediation. Plant uptake and translocation of selenium are largely achieved through sulfur transport proteins, with selenium metabolism closely following the sulfur metabolic pathway. Unique aspects of selenium transport and metabolism in selenium hyperaccumulators are also discussed, highlighting their potential applications for biofortification and phytoremediation.

Selenium Biofortification: Roles, Mechanisms, Responses and Prospects

Akbar Hossain et al.

Summary: Selenium is a crucial trace element for many living organisms, playing vital roles in immune, reproductive, thyroid, brain functions, and enzyme activity. Increasing plant uptake of selenium is a potential pathway to overcome human deficiencies, with selenium biofortification already established as a pioneering approach. Molecular breeding, genetic engineering, and novel agronomic management approaches are essential for successful selenium biofortification.
