• Selenium in agriculture: a nutrient or contaminant for crops? (2014, background): “Later, Lyons et al. (2009) observed that Se treatment was associated with a 43% increase in seed production of Brassica rapa L. apparently because of higher total respiratory activity in leaves and flowers.”
• Selenium Metabolism in Plants (2010, background): “For higher plants, Se is known to be a beneficial nutrient but it has not been shown to be essential (Hartikainen 2005; Lyons et al. 2009; Pilon-Smits et al. 2009).”
• Agronomic biofortification of Brassica with selenium—enrichment of SeMet and its identification in Brassica seeds and meal (2010, background): “Lyons et al. (2009) reported that although the aerial parts of B. rapa contained 250 μg Se kg−1 DW, the concentration in seeds was significantly lower, 150 μg Se kg−1 DW.”
