Biological Activity of Selenium and Its Impact on Human Health

Giuseppe Genchi et al.

Summary: Selenium is a vital element for human and animal health, playing a significant role in various bodily functions. However, excessive intake of selenium can be harmful. It supports antioxidant defense systems, hormone metabolism, reproductive functions, and neuroprotection. Optimizing selenium intake is important for preventing diseases related to selenium deficiency or excess.

Improved chemical fixation of lipid-secreting plant cells for transmission electron microscopy

Shingo Kiyoto et al.

Summary: A new fixation method was used to visualize the metabolism of lipophilic naphthoquinone pigments in Boraginaceae, using cultured Lithospermum erythrorhizon cells. The new method improved the visualization of subcellular structures, especially the membrane system, by preventing lipid extraction. This method requires only three additional reagents compared to conventional chemical fixation.

Selenium supplementation improves nutrient intake and digestibility, and mitigates CH4 emissions from sheep grazed on the mixed pasture of alfalfa and tall fescue

Yueting Pan et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that supplementing lambs grazing on mixed pastures with selenium can increase dry matter and energy intake, reduce methane emissions, and enhance nitrogen intake and excretion. Selenium intake is closely related to the chemical composition of forage, highlighting the importance of selenium supplementation in regions with low selenium content for optimal sheep nutrition.

Transcriptomic Characterization of the Effects of Selenium on Maize Seedling Growth

Lingling Dou et al.

Summary: Selenium can have either promoting or inhibiting effects on the growth of maize seedlings at different concentrations. The study found that low selenium concentrations stimulated the expression of DNA replication and GSH metabolism-related genes, while high selenium concentrations repressed the expression of auxin signal transduction and lignin biosynthesis-related genes. This research provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of selenium on maize seedling growth.

High throughput identification of miRNAs reveal novel interacting targets regulating chickpea-rhizobia symbiosis

Manish Tiwari et al.

Summary: Through sequencing and analyzing multiple miRNA and PARE libraries, the regulatory mechanism of miRNAs in chickpea root nodule formation was studied, revealing both conserved and novel miRNAs. Further phylogenetic analysis unveiled the ancestral relationships of these miRNAs. Studying the targeted genes of miRNAs and the changes in nodule numbers laid the foundation for further understanding the nodulation process in chickpea and other leguminous crops.

Uptake Dynamics of Ionic and Elemental Selenium Forms and Their Metabolism in Multiple-Harvested Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)

Zoltan Kovacs et al.

Summary: The experiment investigated the agronomic biofortification of alfalfa with selenium, monitoring the uptake and accumulation dynamics within four consecutive harvests in the same growing season. Results showed that Se (VI) was toxic to alfalfa plants at a rate of 50 mg kg(-1), and the accumulation of selenium in stem and leaf tissues decreased gradually with each harvest. Overall, the study provides insights into the uptake and accumulation dynamics of different selenium forms in alfalfa and highlights the importance of considering multiple harvests in green biorefining.

Effect of harvest dates on β-carotene content and forage quality of rye (Secale cereale L.) silage and hay

Guo Qiang Zhao et al.

Summary: Limited data on forage quality and beta-carotene content of rye from Korea led to an investigation on the effects of two preservation methods. The study found that advanced maturity in rye resulted in higher fiber content and better nutrient retention in silage and hay. Additionally, delayed harvest and prolonged wilting were shown to decrease beta-carotene content significantly.
