Significant advances in understanding and predicting freshwater algal bloom dynamics
have emerged in response to both increased occurrence and financial burden of nuisance …

Plants, being sessile, face an array of biotic and abiotic stresses in their lifespan that
endanger their survival. Hence, optimized uptake of mineral nutrients creates potential new …

Selenium (Se) is a beneficial element to higher plants. Application of Se at low
concentrations enhances the antioxidant metabolism reducing the reactive oxygen species …

Selenium (Se) is considered a beneficial element for plants; however, in high
concentrations, it causes negative effects on plant physiology and development. This study …

The growing population requires sustainable, environmentally-friendly crops. The plant
growth-enhancing properties of algal extracts have suggested their use as biofertilisers. The …

Low concentrations of selenium (Se) are beneficial for plant growth. Foliar Se application at
high concentrations is toxic to plants due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

The soil is vital for life on Earth and its biodiversity. However, being a non-renewable and
threatened resource, preserving soil quality is crucial to maintain a range of ecosystem …

Selenium (Se) beneficial effect on plants is related to an increase in nitrogen (N)
assimilation and its role as an abiotic stress mitigator by reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

Soil is a heterogeneous reservoir of essential elements needed for plant growth and
development. Plants have evolved mechanisms to balance their nutritional needs based on …

BACKGROUND Selenium (Se) is a nutrient for animals and humans, and is considered
beneficial to higher plants. Selenium concentrations are low in most soils, which can result …
