Article Synopsis
- Selenium (Se) is essential for humans, yet global food intake remains low, particularly in rice, where the uptake can be improved by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).
- The study found that the combination of Se and AMF significantly increased rice biomass and Se concentration while altering the ion composition in the plants, and it reduced competition for Se uptake from other elements like nickel and molybdenum.
- Gene analysis revealed that specific hub genes linked to processes such as protein phosphorylation and metal ion binding may play a central role in how rice roots absorb Se in the presence of AMF, paving the way for further research into genetic factors influencing Se uptake.
Effect of Different Forms of Selenium on the Physiological Response and the Cadmium Uptake by Rice under Cadmium Stress.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
September 2020
Cadmium (Cd) is a pollutant toxic to plants and a potential threat to human health. Selenium (Se), though not essential for plants, has beneficial effects on plants under abiotic stress. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of different forms of Se (Nano-Se, selenite, selenate, and SeMet) on accumulation, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms of Cd, as well as oxidative stress in rice seedlings.
