“…On the other hand, considering alfalfa, chicory and cucumber, the Se concentration levels were comparable. 13,16,20,21,50 However, the larger the Se uptake the greater may be its influence in other nutrient absorption and it may upset the nutritional balance of the plant. Thus, for a better understanding of this influence, the results obtained for the nutrient concentrations were also evaluated by principal components analysis.…”

“…The authors concluded that Se biofortification in lentil are possible to increase Se intake for Se deficient populations. Funes-Collado et al 13 considered the selenite and selenate biofortification in alfalfa, lentils and soybeans sprouts hydroponically cultivated. The results showed that the high Se fortification can damage or inhibit plant growth and that the Se content increases with the Se added and part of the inorganic Se was converted mainly to SeMet.…”

The effect of selenate and selenite enrichment on mineral composition of a red type of lettuce cv. "Veneza roxa" was evaluated using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP OES), molecular modeling and principal component analysis (PCA). Both Se species did not show toxicity, while selenate promoted the greatest Se accumulation by the plant. There was an increase of 886 µg of Se per 100 g of fresh sample at different concentrations of selenate, but for selenite the maximum variation was only of 114 µg per 100 g. Selenate promoted the absorption of Mo and S and the reduction of K, Mn and P, meanwhile selenite increased Mn and decreased Mo accumulation. Copper and Fe absorption was negatively affected, Ca and Mg showed a slight increase, and Na and Zn were not affected by Se species. Despite the changes in the nutritional balance, Se-enriched lettuce can still be considered a potential dietary source of this essential element.

“…The speciation of Se is also greatly influenced by factors such as redox potential and pH which controls its mobility in the soil [19]. Selenium is transformed from one chemical form to another within the plant-soil environment [20]. The transformations of Se within the plant explain its metabolism and mechanisms for coping with high concentrations.…”

Selenium (Se) exhibits a "double-edged" behavior in animal and human nutrition. It is a micronutrient required in low concentrations by animals and humans, but toxic at high concentrations. Selenium deficiency has been associated with cancer and other health problems. Selenium requirements are commonly met through soils and plants such as wheat, rice, vegetables and maize in many countries. Selenium concentration in the soil generally ranges from 0.01-2.0 mg kg-1 but seleniferous soils usually contain more than 5 mg kg-1. Seleniferous soils have been reported in Ireland, China, India and USA. Weathering of parent rocks and atmospheric deposition of volcanic plumes are natural processes increasing Se levels in the environment. Anthropogenic sources of Se include irrigation, fertilizer use, sewage sludge and farmyard manure applications, coal combustion and crude oil processing, mining, smelting and waste incineration. Mobility of Se in the soil-plant system largely depends on its speciation and bioavailability in soil which is controlled by pH and redox potential. Plant uptake of Se varies with plant species and Se bioavailability in the soil. The uptake, translocation, transformation, metabolism, and functions of Se within the plant are further discussed in the paper. The release of Se in soils and subsequent uptake by plants has implications for meeting Se requirements in animals and humans.

“…Thus, the ultimate source of Se in the animal and human food chain is plant available soil selenium. Plants take up Se from the soil in the form of selenite or selenate and synthesize selenoamino acids with selenomethionine (SeMet) as the primary compound [17]. In plants, SeMet represents more than 50% of the total Se [18]; the other selenocompounds in plants include Se-methylselenomethionine, selenocysteine and Se-methylselenocysteine [19].…”

Selenium (Se) dependent enzymes play important roles in physiological functions such as thyroid hormone metabolism, strengthens anti-oxidant defense system and immune system. However, about 800 million people worldwide are believed to be deficient in Se which is attributed to low Se levels in the soil. This is because Se in plant and animal products in human diet depends upon the available Se in the soil. Deficiency of Se can be prevented or treated by adequate dietary intake or through direct supplementation. There have been reports that patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, HIV viral loads and cancer have responded to Se supplementation. However, food fortification has been found to be more efficient than supplementation. Both agronomic biofortification and genetic biofortification have been used to increase Se content of food crops and animal products. Genetic engineering makes use of key genes of Se hyperaccumulators to increase Se accumulating potential of food crops. Agronomic biofortification increases Se content of food crops by adding Se rich fertilizers to the soil or foliar application of Se. Selenium can also be added to animal diets or feedstuff to increase Se content of meat, eggs, and milk. Although inorganic forms of Se are approved as feed additives, they are less efficient than organic sources such as selenomethionine (SeMet) which is the dominant form in plants and animals. Animal products have been found to have higher Se content than plant products with fish having the highest Se content. Fruits and vegetables have a low content of Se probably because of their low protein content. Recommendations for dietary intake of Se vary with country, age and sex. There are concerns that the present recommended Se daily allowance may not be adequate due to discovery of other selenoenzymes with higher Se requirements than gluthathione peroxidase. There may be a need to review the current recommended daily allowance for Se in order to improve human health.
