TL;DR: In this article, a pot experiment was carried out with lettuce (Lactuca sativa) cultivated with increasing amounts of H2SeO4, and the yields harvested 7 or 14 weeks after sowing revealed that a low Se dosage (0.1 mg kg−1 soil) stimulated the growth of senescing seedlings (dry weight yield by 14%) despite a decreased chlorophyll concentration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the toxicity of Se can be attributed to metabolic disturbances, in addition to its pro-oxidative effects, which can be explained by the changes in the total chlorophyll concentration.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of selenium in antioxidation in higher plants has been investigated and the synergistic effect was attributed to the antioxidative function of Se, shown as inhibition of lipid peroxidation and promotion of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity.

TL;DR: Selenium was able to promote the growth of the UV-stressed plants, presumably through protection of chloroplast enzymes, and it also postponed the death of plants subjected to severe irradiation stress.

TL;DR: Seleeni (Se) on ihmisille ja elaimille valttamaton alkuaine, jonka tiedetaan mm. as mentioned in this paper on kuitenkin osoitettu, etta sopivan alhaisina pitoisuuksina Se pystyy suojaamaan myos kasveja UV-sateilyn aiheuttamalta hapetusstressilta.
