“…However, in tomato fruit, other carotenoid genes and enzymes (e.g., lycopene cyclases, responsible for the formation of carotene and lutein from lycopene) may be affected by Se and, most likely, differently by the different concentrations of Se applied, as demonstrated by the effects of Se at 0.5 mg L -1 (Figs. 2 and 3) and the results reported by Lee et al (2007) on tomato fruit lycopene content. Hartikainen et al (2000) reported that, depending on the dosage, Se exerted dual effects on ryegrass.…”

“…3). Lee et al (2007) found an increase of selenium content in tomato fruit of 'Super momotaro' plants grown in nutrient solution added with 0.5, 1 and 2 mg Se L -1 and only in correspondence of the highest Se concentration lycopene increased in ripe fruit tissues.…”

“…In tomato, Se is effective in reducing the plant growth and in delaying the onset of plant senescence and fruit ripening (Pezzarossa et al, 1999). Considering the effects of Se on secondary metabolism, Lee et al (2007) found a variable effect on lycopene content in tomato fruit depending on the concentration of Se. In lettuce and chicory, Se has been shown to be effective in decreasing the production of ethylene and PAL activity, consequently improving the quality of leafy vegetables and the shelf life in both species (Malorgio et al, 2009).…”

The effects of selenium (Se) addition on production and quality traits of Solanum lycopersicon 'Red Bunch' were investigated. Se was added as sodium selenate at the rate of 0, 0.5 and 1 mg Se L-1 to the nutrient solution. Se was absorbed by roots and accumulated in leaves and fruits, and at the tested concentrations, it did not affect yield. Se concentration followed a gradient, decreasing from the basal to the apical part of the plant. At red ripe stage, the fruits on the lower trusses accumulated higher amount of Se than the fruits of the higher trusses. ß-carotene and lutein significantly decreased only at 1.0 mg Se L-1. Lycopene increased either in 0.5 and, less markedly, 1.0 mg Se L-1-treated fruits where a pronounced increase in quercetin was also observed.

“…Soluble sugars and soluble proteins are important parameters in evaluating the nutritional quality of vegetables, because they provide essential proteins and energy for the human body. Selenium treatment plays a pivotal role in increasing quality parameters of tomato fruit, such as soluble solid content [ 31 ], contents of glucose, fructose, and total sugar [ 32 ]. This study showed that the content of soluble sugars and soluble proteins in broccoli sprouts was significantly increased by Se treatment ( Figure 1 ), especially under 1R1B+Se, 1R2B+Se, and 2R1B+Se.…”

Selenium (Se) supplement was combined with different LED light qualities to investigate mutual effects on the growth, nutritional quality, contents of glucosinolates and mineral elements in broccoli sprouts. There were five treatments: CK:1R1B1G, 1R1B1G+Se (100 μmol L−1 Na2SeO3), 1R1B+Se, 1R2B+Se, 2R1B+Se, 60 μmol m−2 s−1 PPFD, 12 h/12 h (light/dark). Sprouts under a combination of selenium and LED light quality treatment exhibited no remarkable change fresh weight, but had a shorter hypocotyl length, lower moisture content and heavier dry weight, especially with 1R2B+Se treatment. The contents of carotenoid, soluble protein, soluble sugar, vitamin C, total flavonoids, total polyphenol and contents of total glucosinolates and organic Se were dramatically improved through the combination of Se and LED light quality. Moreover, heat map and principal component analysis showed that broccoli sprouts under 1R2B+Se treatment had higher nutritional quality and health-promoting compound contents than other treatments. This suggests that the Se supplement under suitable LED lights might be beneficial to selenium-biofortified broccoli sprout production.

“…Due to the antioxidant capacity of Se and its influence on ethylene biosynthesis, several experiments have been conducted to study the effects of Se biofortification on fruit quality and postharvest. In tomato ( Solanum lycopersicon L.) selenium, as sodium selenate, has been added to nutrient solutions [ 39 , 41 , 45 , 95 , 109 , 119 , 120 ] or given to plants by foliar application [ 121 ]. Only a few studies have been conducted on the Se-enrichment of fruit trees.…”

The ability of some crops to accumulate selenium (Se) is crucial for human nutrition and health. Selenium has been identified as a cofactor of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which is a catalyzer in the reduction of peroxides that can damage cells and tissues, and can act as an antioxidant. Plants are the first link in the food chain, which ends with humans. Increasing the Se quantity in plant products, including leafy and fruity vegetables, and fruit crops, without exceeding the toxic threshold, is thus a good way to increase animal and human Se intake, with positive effects on long-term health. In many Se-enriched plants, most Se is in its major organic form. Given that this form is more available to humans and more efficient in increasing the selenium content than inorganic forms, the consumption of Se-enriched plants appears to be beneficial. An antioxidant effect of Se has been detected in Se-enriched vegetables and fruit crops due to an improved antioxidative status and to a reduced biosynthesis of ethylene, which is the hormone with a primary role in plant senescence and fruit ripening. This thus highlights the possible positive effect of Se in preserving a longer shelf-life and longer-lasting quality.
