Selenium in agriculture: a nutrient or contaminant for crops? (2014, background): “It has been shown that selenium is one of the metal ions that protects plants against UV-induced oxidative stress (Pennanen et al. 2002), thereby promoting growth of plants subjected to high energy radiations.”
Selenium modulates the activities of antioxidant enzymes, osmotic homeostasis and promotes the growth of sorrel seedlings under salt stress (2005, background): “The Se results agree with earlier reports for lettuce, ryegrass, and potato subjected to various oxidative stresses (Hartikainen and Xue 1999; Hartikainen et al. 2000; Xue and Hartikainen 2000; Xue et al. 2001; Pennanen et al. 2002; Seppänen et al. 2003).”
