The Effects of Selenium on Plant Growth,Development and Metabolic Regulation
Selenium is one of the key minerals in living organisms and plants can convert inorganic seleni-um into organic selenium.Organic selenium is effectively utilized by plants and animals to meet their needs for growth,development and metabolism.Appropriate amount of selenium can enhance plant resistance and allevi-ate abiotic stresses.This paper reviews the effects of selenium on plant growth and development,stress toler-ance and metabolic regulation,selenium uptake,accumulation and valence in plants,selenium's role at the protein level,transcriptional level and non-coding RNAs in plants under selenium treatment.This paper lays the foundation for the investigation of selenium enrichment mechanism in plants and provides reference for the development and utilization of selenium-enriched agricultural products.
