Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Selenium Treatments on Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Growth and Concentrations of Soluble Sugars and Starch
TL;DR: Results showing elevated starch concentration in Se-treated lettuce justify the conclusion that Se has positive effects also on potato carbohydrate accumulation and possibly on yield formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selenium effects on oxidative stress in potato
TL;DR: The results suggest that Se is an antioxidant or it activates protective mechanisms, which can alleviate oxidative stress in the chloroplasts, and improve the recovery of chlorophyll content following light stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of selenium in different biochemical fractions and raw darkening degree of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers supplemented with selenate.
TL;DR: At low levels, Se improved the processing quality of potato tubers by diminishing and retarding their raw darkening and the value of Se-enriched Potato tubers as a Se source in the human diet was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant availability of soil selenate additions and selenium distribution within wheat and ryegrass
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the Se uptake efficiency of wheat and ryegrass and Se distribution within these plants in two pot experiments, where the behaviour of added selenate in a sand soil under wheat was monitored by sequential extractions during a ten-week growing period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revitalizing the winter turnip rape crop in the northern latitudes
TL;DR: Turnip rape (Brassica rapa spp. oleifera) is an underutilized crop that deserves to be revitalized for use in high-latitude agriculture.
