Abstract:Pumpkin is widely used as a functional food for people and rootstock for other Cucurbitaceae crops. Se-enriched pumpkin can be used as an important Se source for humans. However, the boundary between beneficial and phytotoxic levels of Se is narrow. Here, effects of selenite with different concentrations (2–80 μM) on pumpkin growth and Se accumulation in pumpkin seedlings were explored. Our results revealed that Se accumulations in both shoots and roots of C. moschata were closely related to selenite doses. Se… Show more
