An atlas of plant selenium metabolism

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Selenium (Se) is not only a rare and toxic element but also an essential micronutrient for humans and animals that is often in short supply. Terrestrial plants do not require Se, but it can have growth‐promoting or negative effects, depending on the exposure level.

OsPT4 Facilitates Selenomethionine Transport and Biosynthesis to Enhance Seed Accumulation in Rice: Molecular Mechanisms and Biotechnological Potential

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 1992-2008, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient for humans, with important functions for health and anti‐cancer properties. Organic Se shows higher antioxidant activity and much lower toxicity compared to inorganic Se, making it safer for use. Selenomethionine (SeMet) is one of the primary forms of organic Se.

The conserved XPF:ERCC1-like Zip2:Spo16 complex controls meiotic crossover formation through structure-specific DNA binding. [PDF]

, 2019
In eukaryotic meiosis, generation of haploid gametes depends on the formation of inter-homolog crossovers, which enable the pairing, physical linkage, and eventual segregation of homologs in the meiosis I division.

Foliar Application of Nano‐Selenium Enhances Tea Quality and Selenium Biofortification by Promoting Theanine Synthesis and Nitrogen Metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Selenium (Se) biofortification improves crops' nutritional value, while nano‐selenium (nano‐Se) offers enhanced bioavailability over traditional Se fertilisers. The quality of tea (Camellia sinensis) depends critically on nitrogen (N) metabolism and amino acid balance, particularly of theanine.

Selenium Biotransformations in an Engineered Aquatic Ecosystem for Bioremediation of Agricultural Wastewater via Brine Shrimp Production [PDF]

, 2013
An engineered aquatic ecosystem was specifically designed to bioremediate selenium (Se), occurring as oxidized inorganic selenate from hypersalinized agricultural drainage water while producing brine shrimp enriched in organic Se and omega-3 and omega-6 ...

Selenium biofortification: integrating one health and sustainability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1955-1967, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Selenium (Se) biofortification in crops has emerged as a promising strategy to address global Se deficiencies and enhance both agricultural productivity and human health. Increasing the Se content of crops through biofortification improves their resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses and boosts their nutritional value.

Selenomethionine Suppressed TLR4/NF-κB Pathway by Activating Selenoprotein S to Alleviate ESBL Escherichia coli-Induced Inflammation in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells and Macrophages

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Inflammation is the hallmark of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli-induced bovine mastitis. Organic selenium can activate pivotal proteins in immune responses and regulate the immune system.
