Soil salinization is one of the major environmental stressors hampering growth and yield crops all over world. A wide spectrum physiological biochemical alterations plants are induced by salinity, which causes lowered water potential in soil solution, ionic disequilibrium, specific ion effects, a higher accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS). For many years, numerous investigations have been made into salinity stresses attempts to minimize losses plant productivity, including effects phytohormones, osmoprotectants, antioxidants, polyamines, trace elements. One protectants, selenium (Se), has found be effective improving inducing tolerance against excessive salinity. However, in-depth mechanisms Se-induced still unclear. This review refines knowledge involved Se-mediated improvements when subjected suggests future perspectives as well several research limitations this field.

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for mammals and its deficiency in the diet a global problem. Plants accumulate Se thus represent major source of to consumers. Agronomic biofortification intends enrich crops with order secure adequate supply by people.The goal this review report present knowledge distribution processes soil at plant-soil interface, behaviour inside plant terms biofortification. It aims unravel metabolic pathways that affect nutritional value edible products, various strategies challenging environments, as well impact Se-enriched food on human health.Agronomic breeding are prevalent battling deficiency. Future research addresses nanosized biofortification, crop enrichment multiple micronutrients, microbial-integrated agronomic optimization adverse conditions. Biofortified superior quality may be created, enriched healthy Se-compounds, several other valuable phytochemicals. Whether such might used intervention recently emerged coronavirus infections relevant question deserves investigation.

Abstract Drought is an important environmental stress that has negative effects on plant growth leading to a reduction in yield. In this study, the positive role of nanoparticles SiO 2 , Se, and Se/SiO (SiO -NPs, Se-NPs -NPs) been investigated modulating drought yield strawberry plants. Spraying solutions containing (50 100 mg L −1 ) improved parameters plants grown under normal conditions (30, 60, 100%FC). Plants treated with (100 preserved more their photosynthetic pigments compared other presented higher levels key osmolytes such as carbohydrate proline. This treatment also increased relative water content (RWC), membrane stability index (MSI) use efficiency (WUE). addition, exogenous spraying tolerance through increasing activity antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol (GPX) superoxide dismutase (SOD) well decreasing lipid peroxidation hydrogen peroxide (H O content. Increase biochemical fruits anthocyanin, total phenolic compounds (TPC), vitamin C (DPPH) revealed these improving fruit quality nutritional value. general, our results supported effect application selenium silicon nanoparticles, especially absolute ), management harmful soil not only plants, but agricultural crops.

Salt stress severely reduces growth and yield of plants. Considering the positive effects selenium (Se) chitosan (Cs) separately against abiotic stress, in these experiments, we synthesized chitosan–selenium nanoparticles (Cs–Se NPs) investigated their ability to reduce negative salt on some biochemical parameters bitter melon (Momordica charantia). Bitter plants were grown at three NaCl salinity levels (0, 50, 100 mM) a foliar spray Cs–Se NPs 10, 20 mg L−1) was applied. Some key morphological, biochemical, physiological leaf samples essential oil from fruit measured harvest. Salinity decreased while application increased critical parameters. Furthermore, enhanced tolerance by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity, proline concentration, relative water content, K+, decreasing MDA H2O2 oxidants Na aggregation plant tissues. Yield also improved, as highest amount oils produced treated with NPs. Generally, greatest improvement under saline conditions obtained treating L−1 NPs, which significantly
