Biofortification of Vegetables under Stress Conditions Using Biological Nano-Selenium: A Mini-Review

Environment, Biodiversity and Soil Security, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 7(2023), P. 23 - 35

Published: Jan. 1, 2023

Vegetable crops are main sources for human nutrition because they have high nutritional value including vitamins, and minerals, as well several bioactive compounds. Producing safe healthy vegetables diet is of a great global issue, which needs to exploit all available arable lands this production. This production should be achieved under stressful conditions soil stress (mainly saline, alkaline-saline, waterlogged low fertile soils), climatic (drought, flooding, saltwater intrusion, heat stress), along with normal conditions. Nano-biofortification can support the vegetable productivity especially by using biological nano-nutrients. Bio-nanonutrients many distinguished properties such higher activity, lower toxicity, better bioavailability than mineral forms. also promote growth, enhance their tolerance different stresses reinforcing function antioxidant enzymes. Thus, producing biofortified might sustainable solution particularly nanonutrients like selenium. The controlling factors that needed successful nano-biofortification program correlated growing media, plant species, method application nanonutrients. over dose cause nanotoxicity cultivated plants, then health after consumption. problem managed following 4R Nutrient Stewardship concept, focuses on right rate, source, time, place.
