Zinc and selenium as modulating factors of the anatomy and physiology of Billbergia zebrina (Bromeliaceae) during in vitro culture

Photosynthetica, 2020
Deleterious effects induced by high zinc (Zn) concentrations can be alleviated with selenium (Se) co-exposure. Therefore, we analyzed the morphophysiological changes of Billbergia zebrina in response to Zn and Se co-exposure.
