Selenium (Se) is yet to be confirmed as essential for plants, but it has proven to be an
essential trace element for humans and other animals. However, it is well documented that …

High concentrations of heavy metal (HM) ions impact agronomic staple crop production in
acid soils (pH≤ 5) due to their cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic effects. Among cytotoxic …

Cadmium is a heavy metal that pollutes the environment and affects plants physiologically
and morphologically. Selenium is considered as a beneficial element, with effective roles in …

This study investigated the beneficial effect of molybdenum (Mo) application on rape plants
(Brassica napus L.) grown in a soil polluted by cadmium (Cd). A pot experiment was …

Selenium (Se) is beneficial for plant growth under different stressful conditions. In this study,
we investigated the protective effects of Se supply from Cd-induced damages in tall fescue …

This study is about mitigation of salt stress in Setaria italica L. and Panicum miliaceum L. by
selenium (Se) which is a micronutrient beneficial for plant growth and development, but its …

The persistent nature of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in the environment severely affects
plant growth and yield. Conversely, plants acquire zinc (Zn) from the soil for their vital …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is a Cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator. However, high-level
Cd at the early seedling stage seriously arrests the growth of rape, which limits its …

The co-contamination of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in soils is a common problem.
Selenium (Se) can reduce the uptake of As and Cd in plants, and in practice, the alternate …

Cadmium is considered one of the most important heavy metals contaminant to both soil and
plants that possess a great threat to the whole ecosystem. In the present work, the role of …
