Agronomic biofortification of crops with selenium (Se) is an important strategy to minimize
hidden hunger and increase nutrient intake in poor populations. Selenium is an element that …

Selenium (Se), which can be both hazardous and beneficial to plants, animals and humans,
plays a pivotal role in regulating soil-plant-human ecosystem functions. The biogeochemical …

Selenium (Se), being an essential micronutrient, enhances plant growth and development in
trace amounts. It also protects plants against different abiotic stresses by acting as an …

Plant growth is affected by various abiotic stresses, including water, temperature, light, salt,
and heavy metals. Selenium (Se) is not an essential nutrient for plants but plays important …

Agricultural productivity is constantly being forced to maintain yield stability to feed the
enormously growing world population. However, shrinking arable and nutrient-deprived soil …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide at low concentrations act as
signaling of several abiotic stresses. Overproduction of hydrogen peroxide causes the …

Drought stress restricts the growth of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) by disrupting its
biochemical and physiological functions. The current study was conducted to evaluate the …

Soil salinity is one of the important abiotic stress factors that affect rice productivity and
quality. Research with several dicotyledonous plants indicated that the detrimental effects …

We investigated the mechanistic consequences of selenium (Se)-toxicity, and its possible
mitigation using salicylic acid (SA) in rice. In comparison with control, sodium selenate …

This experiment was conducted to provide a better insight into the plant responses to nitric
oxide (NO) and selenium nanoparticle (nSe). Chicory seedlings were sprayed with nSe (0 …
