Selenium biofortification in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris): Farmers' field survey and genotype×environment effect

2013-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and animals, however more than one billion people around the world are Se deficient. Selenium helps to prevent several diseases in humans including arsenicosis, a major health problem in South Asia. Lentil is a popular staple food in South Asia; it can uptake Se from soil and is thus a potential source of Se for humans. A farmers' field survey and an on-statio...
