TL;DR: The role of S during the stress response in plants and the relationship between S metabolism and primary S nutrition are highlighted.
Abstract: Sulfur management is an important issue in crop plant nutrition Sulfur has a role in fundamental processes such as electron transport, structure and regulation It is also associated with photosynthetic oxygen production, abiotic and biotic stress resistance and secondary metabolism Sulfate uptake, reductive assimilation and integration into cysteine and methionine are the central processes that direct oxidized and reduced forms of organically bound S into their various functions Sulfur-containing defense compounds that are crucial for plant survival during biotic and abiotic stress include elemental sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, glutathione, phytochelatins, S-rich proteins and various secondary metabolites Formation of these compounds in plants is closely related to the supply, demand, uptake and assimilation of S This review will highlight the role of S during the stress response in plants and the relationship between S metabolism and primary S nutrition

TL;DR: Soybean plants exposed to excess Mn showed reductions in the CO2 assimilation rate and stomatal conductance, which in turn resulted in decreased shoot biomass and high activities of POD and SOD in the presence of high Mn compartmented in the roots was the main physiological responses at high Mn uptake by soybean plants.

TL;DR: This chapter aims to compile some information about research work on essentiality of Se for humans and other mammals, and the need for a sufficient daily Se intake.
Abstract: Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for human and animal healthy due to its capabilities to support antioxidant defence systems. However, problems related to the deficiency of Se are emerging issue for human health worldwide and plant species differ considerably in their susceptibility to high concentrations of Se, and certain plant species can be able to accumulate Se to astonishingly high concentrations. Many factors can affect the content of Se in different foods, including different uptake rate by plants, which can be related to plant type, soil, pH, microbial activity, rainfall and a number of other biogeochemical parameters. Humans Se intake and Se status in the population depends firstly on Se concentrations in soils, and hence the Se concentrations in the harvested edible plants in these soils. Thus, this chapter aims to compile some information about research work on essentiality of Se for humans and other mammals, and the need for a sufficient daily Se intake.

TL;DR: Se accumulation in Brazil nuts generally increased in soils with higher total Se content, but decreased under acidic conditions in the soil, indicating that, besides total soil Se concentration, soil acidity plays a major role in Se uptake by Brazil nut trees.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of Mn as an essential micronutrient and as a toxic element to higher plants as well as their transport and tolerance mechanisms is discussed and the forms and dynamics of this element in soils and the importance of the acidity for this dynamic and availability for plants are also given.
Abstract: Manganese is an essential element for plants, intervening in several metabolic processes, mainly in photosynthesis and as an enzyme antioxidant-cofactor. Nevertheless, an excess of this micronutrient is toxic for plants. Mn phytotoxicity is manifested in a reduction of biomass and photosynthesis, and biochemical disorders such as oxidative stress. Some studies on Mn toxicity and Mn translocation from soil to plant cells in Mn2+ form have demonstrated their importance under low pH and redox potential conditions in the soil. When Mn is inside the cells, mechanisms that can tolerate this toxicity are also observed, being important the compartmentalization of this metal in different organdies of shoot and leaf plant cells. A key role of antioxidative systems in plants in relation to high Mn amounts has also been reported as a defense mechanism. The purpose of this review is to show the role of Mn as an essential micronutrient and as a toxic element to higher plants as well as to their transport and tolerance mechanisms. The forms and dynamics of this element in soils and the importance of the acidity for this dynamic and availability for plants are also given.
