“…However, its venifical role in broccoli biofortification, and production of crop and/or sprouts has been confirmed by many researchers such as Bañuelos et al (2016), Tian et al (2018), El-Ramady et al (2020), and Mao et al (2020). Selenium biofortification can enhance crop tolerant to heavy metals stress (Ghorai et al 2022). Nanoselenium and selenium have an increase concern especially for managing cultivated plants under environmental stress and improving quality of crops (Hossain et al 2022).…”

UTRIENT deficiency on cultivated plants may lead to human malnutrition when consumes these plants. So, the biofortification is a promising approach in increasing several crops in their contents of essentials nutrients for human health like selenium (Se). The current study focused on using two different sources of Se-fertilizers for biofortifying broccoli under nutrient deficiency stress in sandy soil. The applied doses of selenium in each form were 10, 20, 30, and 40 ppm in the form of mineral and biological nano Se-fertilizers. The vegetative parameters and yield of broccoli were determined. In general, the highest growth and yield components were attained for applying the dose of 30 mg Si L -1 for both the soluble and nano Se-forms. The studied parameters included fresh and dry weight of leaves and broccoli head, head diameter and its length gave the highest values when the dose of 30 ppm from both Se-fertilizers applied. The content of N, P, K, and Se nutrients significantly increased by increasing applied Se-doses till 40 ppm in both Se-fertilizers except P. The harvested yield of head broccoli was obtained after applied dose of 30 ppm in case of both Se-fertilizers, with an increase rate for mineral Se-fertilizer 60.1 and 57.2%, whereas were 51.8 and 47.4% for nano-Se fertilizer for both seasons, respectively. The biological Se-nanofertilizer may be is preferable for a safe biofortification. The most distinguished findings in the current study that producing biofortified broccoli rich in Se for human health can be achieved under grown in sandy soils or nutrient deficiency stress. Further studies are needed to answer more open questions regarding producing a safe and healthy food for human nutrition.

“…I In the current study, different sources of Se-fertilizers were applied for biofortification of onion under sandy soil conditions. Many previous studies confirmed the distinguished role of Se in promoting vegetative attributes of crops including onion, after applying different dose of both forms (mineral and nanofertilizers) such as [29,53] and [54,55] as well under stress conditions [39,56] Indeed, the dry weight of both leaves and bulb as well as studied vegetative parameters of onion increased with increasing foliar application of Se forms. Additionally, Se has vital potential physiological functions in Se plant nutrition, because its contribution as Se-enhanced operation of enzymatic antioxidants [57].…”

Human health depends on the daily supply of fresh vegetables and fruits, which contain the essential, nutrients, vitamins and other bioactive compounds. Due to malnutrition in several places all over the world, the biofortification approach is a crucial solution to overcome this global problem. In the current study, the biological nanofertilizer of selenium (nano-Se) was tested on onion crop comparing with its bulk source under the sandy soil conditions. the applied doses of nano-Se were 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg L−1 in both nano and mineral form of Se. The main investigated parameters of onion were the vegetative growth parameters and the nutritional status in leaves and bulbs. The obtained results have a significant difference between mineral and nano-Se doses for studied measurements. In general, all studied parameters increased in their values with increasing the applied doses from both Se sources up to 30 or 40 mg L−1 compared to the control, depending on the selected parameter. This increase reached to more than 60% (for applied nano-Se on bulb dry weight), or more than 55% for the same parameter after applying mineral Se source. Applying nano Se was achieved higher values in some studied parameters of onion, whereas the mineral form of Se was domain for others. This study confirmed that both Se forms can be applied for biofortification of onion because the Se content in bulb located in the accepted level of Se in crop with priority to nano-Se, which accumulate in leaves and bulb in a lower concentration compared to mineral form. This work opened more question about the nano-biofortification and the possibility to apply for more studied crops with focus on the suitable added dose to be safe for successful biofortification program.

“…Hence, a need to increase crop and human Se intake through employment of agronomic biofortification strategies that ensure loading of Se into staple grains through fertilisation. Se plays a key role in the antioxidant systems in plants, studies have shown that application of Se at low doses protect the plants from variety of abiotic stresses such as temperature (Chu et al ., 2010 ; Djanaguiraman et al ., 2010 , 2018 ), drought (Hasanuzzaman et al ., 2011 ), desiccation (Pukacka et al ., 2011 ), aging (Djanaguiraman et al ., 2005 ; Hartikainen, 2005 ), and metal stress (Kumar et al ., 2012 ; Pandey & Gupta, 2015 ; Ghorai et al ., 2022 ). Se, applied at low concentrations, enhances growth and antioxidative capacity of both mono and dicotyledonous plants (Kavalcová et al ., 2015 ; Shalaby et al ., 2017 ; El‐Sayed et al ., 2020 ; Cipriano et al ., 2022 ).…”

Selenium (Se) is essential for human health, however, data on population Se status and agriculturenutrition-health linkages are limited in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The scoping review aims to identify linkages between Se in soils/crops, dietary Se intakes, and livestock and human Se status in SSA. Online databases, organisational websites and grey literature were used to identify articles. Articles were screened at title, abstract and full text levels using eligibility criteria. The search yielded 166 articles from which 112 were excluded during abstract screening and 54 full text articles were assessed for eligibility. The scoping review included 34 primary studies published between 1984 and 2021. The studies covered Se concentrations in soils (n = 7), crops (n = 9), animal tissues (n = 2), livestock (n = 3), and human Se status (n = 15). The evidence showed that soil/crop Se concentrations affected Se concentration in dietary sources, dietary Se intake and biomarkers of Se status. Soil types are a primary driver of human Se status and crop Se concentration correlates positively with biomarkers of Se dietary status. Although data sets of Se concentrations exist across the food system in SSA, there is limited evidence on linkages across the agriculture-nutrition nexus. Extensive research on Se linkages across the food chain is warranted.
