Abstract:Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de doses de selenato e selenito na biofortificação de arroz (Oryza sativa) com Se, bem como a influência dessas formas de Se nos teores de P, S, Fe e Zn nos grãos. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, em vasos com 4 dm 3 de um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico, de textura média, em arranjo fatorial 5x2, com cinco doses de Se (0, 0,75, 1,50, 3,0 e 6,0 mg dm -3 ) e duas formas de Se (selenato e selenito). Observou-se que o selen… Show more

Section: Selenium Macro- and Micronutrient Content In Wheat Cultivarssupporting
Selenium is essential to human and animal health, as it regulates glutathione peroxidase activity. Although not considered essential to plants, it may be beneficial to plant growth and development at low concentrations. This study evaluated the effect of selenate application on Se biofortification, macro‐ and micronutrient content, and the expression of genes involved in Se uptake and assimilation in 12 Brazilian wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars. This nutrient‐solution experiment was performed in a greenhouse and consisted of a complete 12 × 2 factorial randomized design, with 12 wheat cultivars in the absence or presence of Se in solution (13 μmol), with three replicates. The presence of Se in solution did not affect growth and yield of wheat cultivars. Selenium content and accumulation in the grain varied significantly among the different cultivars. The presence of Se affected macronutrient content more than micronutrient content, and selenate application increased S content in the shoots of eight cultivars and in the grains of five cultivars. Examination of gene expression did not allow identification of responses within the two groups of cultivars—with high or low Se contents—after selenate application. Our findings are relevant to the design of Se biofortification strategies for wheat in tropical and subtropical agroecosystems.
Core Ideas
Selenate application increased S content in the shoot and grain tissues of wheat cultivars.
Supplying Se through the roots enhances Se in wheat tissue, both shoots and grain.
Linking genetic–agronomic approaches is key for biofortifying Brazilian wheat cultivars with Se.

“…Mycorrhizal plants could take up more metal nutrients via extraradical hyphae, which provide larger surface areas than the roots alone and reduce the distance for diffusion, thereby enhancing the absorption of immobile metal nutrients (Jakobsen et al, 1992). Previous studies without AMF inoculation found a decrease level of Micronutrients, when Se was applied in rice and forage grass (Boldrin et al, 2012;Ramos et al, 2012).…”
Section: Effect Of Se and Amf On Micronutrient Levelsmentioning
Fertilizer application can enhance the nutritional value of plants, such effects being influenced by the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Nutrients × AMF interactions are well-known for variety of elements but very little has been addressed on biofortification of selenium (Se) in plants grown in tropical soils. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Se application and AMF inoculation on growth and micronutrient contents on soybean plants as forage grass. The experiments were conducted in a completely randomized factorial design with five Se doses (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg kg-1 for soybean plants, and 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 6.0 mg kg-1 for forage plants), with and without AMF inoculation in three replicates. The results showed that soil Se had only slight effect on soybean growth but it caused a two-fold increase on grain yield. However, the growth of forage grass was enhanced by Se application when AMF was present. The AMF inoculation reduced benefit for soybean growth and yield but marked positive effect on forage grass at high doses of Se. Selenium contents in both plants were increased by its application in soil, being such effect proportional to soil applied doses. Selenium application and AMF inoculation had marked effects on micronutrients contents in both soybean plants and forage grass and they may contribute to Se and micronutrient biofortification.
“…Additionally, in the case of the combined Zn and Se application, the BP associated with carbohydrate metabolism and lipid dynamics were also enriched. Such distinct GO profiles are likely related to the specific roles of Se and Zn in plant functioning as well as with specificities of Zn and Se biofortification processes, even considering a certain antagonism extent between these two minerals as regards their accumulation potential (Boldrin et al, 2012;Mangueze et al, 2018). This hypothesis is supported by the classification based on the MF, i.e., ion homeostasis in Se-biofortified flag leaves, probably related to the role of this mineral in controlling oxidative stress, the coenzyme/cofactor function of Zn in Zn-biofortified flag leaves, and a rather diverse set of GOs in the double biofortified flag leaves (Sunde, 2018).…”
Human malnutrition due to micronutrient deficiencies, particularly with regards to Zinc (Zn) and Selenium (Se), affects millions of people around the world, and the enrichment of staple foods through biofortification has been successfully used to fight hidden hunger. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the staple foods most consumed in countries with high levels of malnutrition. However, it is poor in micronutrients, which are often removed during grain processing. In this study, we have analyzed the transcriptome of rice flag leaves biofortified with Zn (900 g ha −1), Se (500 g ha −1), and Zn-Se. Flag leaves play an important role in plant photosynthesis and provide sources of metal remobilization for developing grains. A total of 3170 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. The expression patterns and gene ontology of DEGs varied among the three sets of biofortified plants and were limited to specific metabolic pathways related to micronutrient mobilization and to the specific functions of Zn (i.e., its enzymatic co-factor/coenzyme function in the biosynthesis of nitrogenous compounds, carboxylic acids, organic acids, and amino acids) and Se (vitamin biosynthesis and ion homeostasis). The success of this approach should be followed in future studies to understand how landraces and other cultivars respond to biofortification.
