Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and animals, although controversial
for different plant species. There exists a narrow line between essential, beneficial and toxic …

Selenium (Se) acquirement from daily diet can help reduce the risk of many diseases. The
edible parts of crop plants are the main source of dietary Se, while the Se content in crops is …

Plant-assisted bioremediation or phytoremediation holds promise for in situ treatment of
polluted soils. Enhancement of phytoremediation processes requires a sound …

Selenium (Se)-rich plants may be used to provide dietary Se to humans and livestock, and
also to clean up Se-polluted soils or waters. This study focused on endophytic bacteria of …

The rhizosphere microbiota contributes immensely to nutrient sequestration, productivity and
plant growth. Several studies have suggested that environmental factors and high nutrient …

While a number of different plants can either breakdown a variety of organic contaminants or
hyperaccumulate metals from the environment, even the most efficient of those plants is …

Uptake of selenium (Se) by plants largely depend on the availability of Se in soil. Soils and
plants were sampled four times within 8 weeks of plant growth in pot experiments using four …

Soybean is a major crop in Brazil and is usually grown in oxidic soils that need high rates of
phosphate (P) fertilizers. Soybean is also very suitable for biofortification with Se, since its …

Some of the plant endophytes have ability to accumulate selenium from soil and provide it to
the plant in turn benefiting plant's growth, such microbes are known as selenobacteria …

Aims The study was aimed to provide better understanding on how plant cultivation affects
Se distribution, transformation, and bioavailabilty in soil treated with exogenous selenite or …
