Selenium accumulation in plants profoundly affects ecological interactions. It pro-tects plants from herbivores via both deterrence and toxicity, as well as from microbial pathogens. High-Se plants do not deter pollinators. Selenium hyperaccu-mulators enhance Se levels in neighboring plants, which can have a negative
Plants take up Se primarily in two forms, either as selenate (SeO 4 2−) or selenite (SeO 3 2), but they have the capacity to take up organic Se compounds as well.However, plants are unable to take up elemental Se or metal selenide compounds (White and Broadley 2009).Selenate is the most common form of Se taken up by plants and is the predominant …
Brazil Nuts. If you feel that you have low selenium levels you may want to start adding Brazil nuts to your diet. They are one of the best sources of this vital nutrient with 544 mcg found in every ounce (6-8 nuts).
Selenium resembles sulfur (S) chemically and shares a similar pathway for uptake and translocation in plants. For example, SeO 3 2− and SeO 4 2− are analogs of SO 3 2− and …

The amount of selenium that men aged between 19-64 years need, is 0.075mg. Women in the same age range need 0.06mg per day. What happens if we have too much Selenium? Too much selenium causes selenosis, which in its mildest form, can result in loss of hair, skin and nails. What does the Department of Health have to say about Selenium?
In Selenium automation, if the elements are not found by the general locators like id, class, name, etc. then XPath is used to find an element on the web page. In this tutorial, we will learn about the Xpath and different …
I. Introduction. Arsenic (As) is a well-known human toxin which has arguably influenced human history more than any other toxic element or compound (e.g. Nriagu, 2002).In recent decades, millions of people have suffered from As poisoning as a result of drinking As-contaminated water extracted from shallow tube wells in South and Southeast Asia …
Plant cell cultures provide an important method for production and supply of a variety of natural products, where conditions can be easily controlled, manipulated, and optimized. Development and optimization of plant cell culture processes require both bioprocess engineering and metabolic engineerin …
Arsenic is introduced to the food chain by its excessive uptake from soil by the crop plants. Irrigation of the agricultural lands with As contaminated water is the principal source of As accumulation in the plants' rhizosphere (Shaji et al., 2021).Several factors, including the physico-chemical nature of soil, water management and As speciation regulates the uptake and …
The goal of these studies was to identify and characterize chloroplast NifS-like proteins, and the possible role of AtCpNifS in plastidic Fe-S cluster formation or in Se metabolism is discussed. NifS-like proteins catalyze the formation of elemental sulfur (S) and alanine from cysteine (Cys) or of elemental selenium (Se) and alanine from seleno-Cys. Cys desulfurase activity is required …
3.1 Introduction to Endophytes. Endophytes are bacteria and fungi that live inside plants, colonizing the roots, shoots, and reproductive portions (Jha et al. 2013).These microbes can either be inherited from the parent plant, introduced via a vector, or can colonize the plant during its life through sites of lateral root emergence or open areas in the plant epidermis …
Major conclusions. Selenium and sulfur share the same primary metabolism. When grown in the same environment, most plant species have similar tissue Se/S quotients. …
2.1. Se Uptake by Plants. The two main forms of bioavailable Se in soils are selenate and selenite. Selenate is mainly found in alkaline and oxidized soils, whereas selenite …
Abstract As an essential trace element, selenium (Se) plays a tremendous role in the functioning of the human organism being used for the biosynthesis of selenoproteins (proteins containing one or several selenocysteine residues). The functions of human selenoproteins in vivo are extremely diverse. Many selenoproteins have an antioxidant activity and, hence, play a …
Selenium resembles sulfur (S) chemically and shares a similar pathway for uptake and translocation in plants. For example, SeO 3 2− and SeO 4 2− are analogs of SO 3 2− and SO 4 2−, respectively.Therefore, they can compete with each other in acidic conditions (Golob et al., 2016; González-Morales et al., 2017).Among the Se species, SeO 4 2− uses SO 4 2− …
Selenium is toxic to plants, but nontoxic metabolites can be produced, especially in selenium hyperaccumulators. Abstract. 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 is a necessary human ...

The function of selenium-binding protein 1 (SBP1), present in almost all organisms, has not yet been established. In mammals, SBP1 is known to bind the essential element selenium but the binding site has not been identified. In addition, the SBP family has numerous potential metal-binding sites that may play a role in detoxification pathways in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, …

Introduction. The breakthrough in selenium (Se) research came into existence in 1957, when Schwartz and Foltz showed that addition of Se in fodder prevented muscular dystrophy and liver cirrhosis in rats (Rayman, 2000).Another turning point in Se research came through the discovery of Se in enzyme Glutathione peroxidase (Rotruck et al., 1973; Behne …
A diet rich in selenium may help keep your heart healthy, as low selenium levels have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.. In an analysis of 25 observational studies, a 50% increase ...
Selenium (Se) and sulfur (S) are chemically similar. Most plants cannot discriminate between the two, with the exception of Se hyperaccumulator species, which preferentially accumulate Se over S. Genetic engineering of various genes from the S/Se assimilation pathway has successfully enhanced plant Se tolerance, accumulation, and …
Pathogens, on the other hand, can deliver mechanisms to target sulfate transport and metabolism of host plant systems to compete for sulfur nutrients (Cernadas et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2022). Specialist insects co-evolved with host plants to evade plant defense mechanisms (Ratzka et al., 2002; Okamura et al., 2022). Our endeavors to explore ...
Selenium, discovered in 1817 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, is known as an element with two faces in relation to human health: as a micronutrient essential for life and a potentially toxic trace element.
Major conclusions: Selenium and sulfur share the same primary metabolism. When grown in the same environment, most plant species have similar tissue Se/S quotients. However, Se …
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. …
Results from genomic studies are beginning to shed better light on Se tolerance and (hyper)accumulation mechanisms, pointing to particular growth regulators (jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, ethylene) and constitutive upregulation of S/Se uptake and assimilation pathways. Selenium (Se) and sulfur (S) are chemically similar. Most plants cannot discriminate between the two, …
