Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for many organisms, including plants, animals
and humans. As plants are the main source of dietary Se, plant Se metabolism is therefore …

Abstract Background Selenium (Se) is an essential mineral element for animals and
humans, which they acquire largely from plants. The Se concentration in edible plants is …

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for humans and animals and its deficiency in the diet
is a global problem. Crop plants are the main source of Se for consumers. Therefore, there is …

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and animals but at high
concentrations, Se becomes toxic to organisms due to Se replacing sulfur in proteins …

The aim of this review is to synthesize current knowledge of selenium (Se) transport and
metabolism in plants, with a focus on implications for biofortification and phytoremediation …

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for many animals including humans, prokaryotes and
a few green algae. For plants, Se essentiality is yet to be demonstrated. Nevertheless, it is …

The element selenium (Se) is both essential and toxic for most life forms, with a narrow
margin between deficiency and toxicity. Phytotechnologies using plants and their associated …

Hyperaccumulators are plants that accumulate toxic elements to extraordinary levels.
Selenium (Se) hyperaccumulators can contain 0.1–1.5% of their dry weight as Se, levels …

Abstract Background Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient required for many life forms, but toxic
at higher concentration. Plants do not have a Se requirement, but can benefit from Se via …

Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants
represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a …
