Strategies for increasing the selenium content of wheat

2007-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Selenium (Se) is essential for humans and animals but has no known function in plants. Excess accumulation is toxic to both plants and animals. Dietary intake of Se is low in a large number of people worldwide. This is due to low bioavailability of Se in some soils and consequently low concentrations of Se in plant tissues. Both selenate and selenite are taken up by plants and subsequently translocated around the...
