“…Alkaloids are important secondary metabolites that prevent some diseases by free radical scavenging or by binding to the catalysts of oxidative reactions [34]. Numerous studies have found that, by spraying selenium fertilizers on crop leaves, the alkaloid content in the crop can be increased to some extent [35][36][37]. In this study, it was found that, after spraying sodium selenite, nano-selenium, and organic selenium, alkaloid-related metabolites were screened in wolfberry fruits with 3, 9, and 22 metabolites, respectively; this is in line with the results of the above studies, which showed that alkaloids were increased to different degrees in fruits after spraying these selenium fertilizers.…”

As a beneficial nutrient and essential trace element, selenium plays a significant role in plant growth functions and human protein biosynthesis. Plant selenium enrichment is mainly obtained from both natural soil and exogenous selenium supplementation, while human beings consume selenium-enriched foods for the purposes of selenium supplementation. In this study, different types of selenium fertilizers were sprayed onto Lycium barbarum in Ningxia, and transcriptomics and metabolomics techniques were used to explore the effects of selenium on the fruit differentials and differential genes in Lycium barbarum. Taking the “Ning Qiyi No.1” wolfberry as the research object, sodium selenite, nano-selenium, and organic selenium were sprayed at a concentration of 100 mg·L−1 three times from the first fruiting period to the harvesting period, with a control treatment comprising the spraying of clear water. We determined the major metabolites and differential genes of the amino acids and derivatives, flavonoids, and alkaloids in ripe wolfberries. We found that spraying selenium significantly enhanced the Lycium barbarum metabolic differentiators; the most effective spray was the organic selenium, with 129 major metabolic differentiators and 10 common metabolic pathways screened after spraying. Nano-selenium was the next best fertilizer we screened, with 111 major metabolic differentiators, the same number as organic selenium in terms of differential genes and common metabolite pathways. Sodium selenite was the least effective of the three, with only 59 of its major metabolic differentials screened, but its differential genes and metabolites were enriched for five common pathways.

“…This research [41] found significant differences (p0.05) between the treatments in the variables of crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and Nitrogen Free Extract (NFE). The increase in PC content as a plant response to foliar biofortification of NPsSe could be manifested because Se promotes the increase in the synthesis of sulfur amino acids (Cys and Met) and selenium-aminoacids such as SeCys and Semet, which are incorporated into proteins.…”

Los forrajes son la columna vertebral de la agricultura sostenible y contribuyen significativamente a la economía mundial, ya que se estima que la superficie de los pastizales es el doble que la de las tierras de cultivo, y los pastos forrajeros ocupan más superficie que cualquier otro cultivo y tienen un valor incalculable para la alimentación del ganado, especialmente rumiantes. En la nutrición animal los minerales constituyen un factor fundamental de los nutrientes requeridos; tal es el caso de los rumiantes, que desde hace muchos años han sido objeto de diferentes investigaciones, especialmente los macrominerales (Ca, P, Mg, K y Na) y algunos oligoelementos como Cu, Co, I, Zn y Se. El selenio (Se) es un oligoelemento esencial para la nutrición animal, que requiere de 40 a 700 µg, lo cual es importante para las funciones biológicas de los animales. El selenio es un componente estructural de más de 30 selenoproteínas, un mineral implicado en diferentes procesos bioquímicos para la vida. La deficiencia de este elemento en los animales se asocia con diferentes alteraciones en el organismo, como disminución de la fertilidad, abortos durante el período de gestación, retención de placenta y debilidad neonatal. Por lo tanto, la nutrición de Se en animales como los rumiantes es de suma importancia ya que el ciclo del Se en la cadena alimentaria de los animales terrestres comienza desde el suelo e influye en las fuentes de alimento de animales como las plantas, que en última instancia dependen de su asimilación del suelo, por lo que son la fuente primaria de Se para las plantas y por ende para los animales, siendo un problema porque la concentración de Se en los suelos varía significativamente. La intervención agrícola que mejora los niveles de Se en plantas cultivadas se ha definido como biofortificación, y ésta puede utilizarse como fertilización y estrategia complementaria para mejorar la nutrición humana y animal.

“…González-Lemus et al [ 14 ] demonstrated that forages can be bio-fortified with a foliar application of Se nanoparticles, resulting in an increase in this element in forage plants and an improvement in nutritional characteristics. In recent years, the health benefits of Se for farm animals have been demonstrated, improving reproductive performance and immune function, among others [ 15 ].…”

The Festuca arundinacea Schreb. is one of the most used forage grasses due to its duration, productivity, great ecological breadth, and adaptability. Livestock has been criticized for its large production of greenhouse gases (GHG) due to forage. The advancement of science has led to an increase in the number of studies based on nanotechnologies; NPs supplementation in animal nutrition has found positive results in the fermentation of organic matter and the production of fatty acids and ruminal microorganisms. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the in vitro digestibility of forage containing selenium (Se) nanoparticles (NPs), and to identify the specific behavior of the ruminal fermentation parameters of F. arundinacea Schreb. and (2) quantify the production of greenhouse gases (total gas and methane) (3) as well as the release of bioactive compounds (phenols, flavonoids, tannins, and selenium) after fermentation. Three treatments of SeNPs were established (0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 ppm). The effects of foliar fertilization with SeNPs son digestion parameters were registered, such as the in vitro digestion of dry matter (IVDM); total gas production (Atotal gas) and methane production (ACH4); pH; incubation time(to); the substrate digestion rate (S); tSmax and the lag phase (L); as well as the production of volatile fatty acids (VFA), total phenols, total flavonoids, and tannins in ruminal fluid. The best results were obtained in the treatment with the foliar application of 4.5 ppm of SeNPs; IVDMD (60.46, 59.2, and 59.42%), lower total gas production (148.37, 135.22, and 141.93 mL gDM-1), and CH4 (53.42, 52.65, and 53.73 mL g DM-1), as well as a higher concentration of total VFA (31.01, 31.26, and 31.24 mmol L-1). The best results were obtained in the treatment with the foliar application of 4.5 ppm of SeNPs in the three different harvests; concerning IVDMD (60.46, 59.2, and 59.42%), lower total gas production (148.37, 135.22, and 141.93 mL gDM-1), and CH4 (53.42, 52.65, and 53.73 mL g DM-1), as well as a higher concentration of total VFA (31.01, 31.26, and 31.24 mmol L-1). The F. arundinacea Schreb plants fertilized with 4.5 ppm released—in the ruminal fluid during in vitro fermentation—the following contents: total phenols (98.77, 99.31, and 99.08 mgEAG/100 mL), flavonoids (34.96, 35.44, and 34.96 mgQE/100 g DM), tannins (27.22, 27.35, and 27.99 mgEC/100g mL), and selenium (0.0811, 0.0814, and 0.0812 ppm).
