Bioavailability of selenium in soil-plant system and a regulatory approach

TL;DR: The effect of various soil parameters on the bioavailability of Se, its uptake and translocation in relation to plant species, genotypes, growth stages, and management regimes, and potential methods for regulating the bio availability are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of phosphate and silicate on selenite uptake and phloem-mediated transport in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

TL;DR: In this article, the role of P and Si in phloem-mediated selenium (Se) transport within plant tissue is unknown, however, the ambiguous mechanism that selenite seems to be absorbed by roots via phosphorus (P) and silicon (Si) transporters signifies P and si may affect Se uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leaching behaviors and chemical fraction distribution of exogenous selenium in three agricultural soils through simulated rainfall

TL;DR: Results demonstrated that the Se concentration in leachates of all tested soils decreased rapidly at the beginning of leaching and slowly decreased thereafter, indicating the high risk of Se leaching in the tested soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of selenium combined with zinc amendment on zinc fractions and bioavailability in calcareous soil.

TL;DR: Results showed that Se amendment elevated soil Zn bioavailability at appropriate levels of Se and Zn, and the potential available Zn content in soil and MF and DI values were positively correlated with the Zn concentrations in pak choi, indicating that these indexes can be used to predict the bioavailability of Zn in soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms underlying mercury detoxification in soil-plant systems after selenium application: a review.

TL;DR: In this article, a holistic review focuses on the processes and detoxification mechanisms of Hg in whole soil-plant systems after Se application, and the effectiveness of Se application methods, rates, and species on Hg detoxification is compared.
