Assessing arsenic, cadmium, and lead contents in major crops in Brazil for food safety purposes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the quality of Brazilian food products with respect to non-essential trace elements (TEs) in five major crops grown in Brazil: rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, and potatoes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selenium biofortification of wheat grain via foliar application and its effect on plant metabolism

TL;DR: In this paper, field trials were conducted to investigate the biofortification of selenium (Se) in wheat and also to assess the influence of foliar application of Se (as sodium selenate) on the metabolism of carbohydrates, nitrogen contents, and on the antioxidant system of the plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agronomic biofortification of rice ( Oryza sativa L.) with selenium and its effect on element distributions in biofortified grains

TL;DR: The results suggest that soil application of 47 and 36 g ha−1 of Se (as sodium selenate) may guarantee the production of rice grains with adequate Se levels for human consumption in Brazil and worldwide, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cadmium in potato and soybeans: Do phosphate fertilization and soil management systems play a role?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the Cd contents in potato cultivars receiving up to 560 kilograms of P2O5-ha−1 and in soybeans cultivated under different management systems in soils with records of long-term applications of high doses of P fertilizers.
