New insights into the roles of ethylene and jasmonic acid in the acquisition of selenium resistance in plants

In a recent paper, we reported that both ethylene and jasmonic acid (JA) are important for selenium (Se) resistance in Arabidopsis. 1 Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species were associated with ethylene and JA production in a Se-resistant Arabidopsis ecotype. Here, we further discuss the functions of these phytohormones, and their possible interactions, in plant Se resistance and - accumulation, placing our data in a broader perspective of other recently published papers.
