Selenium fertilization strategies for bio-fortification of food: an agro-ecosystem approach (2016, background): “This bioavailability of the Se that is present in soil depends on the predominant chemical speciation as Se can exist in different oxidation states varying between plus six and minus two, including selenate, selenite, elemental Se and selenide, but also catenated species (Hartikainen 2005).”
An Overview of Selenium Uptake, Metabolism, and Toxicity in Plants (2017, background): “Since, then the essentiality of Se for animals and human beings came into limelight, and is considered as an essential nutrient in human diet (Hartikainen, 2005).”
Selenium in Plants (2017, background): “Many plant species show a positive growth response to Se, perhaps due to enhanced antioxidant capacity (Cartes et al. 2005; Djanaguiraman et al. 2005; Hartikainen 2005; Kong et al. 2005).”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine. (2009, background): “Tissue Se concentrations in plants can be increased by soil or foliar applications of Se fertilizers and this has been shown to have beneficial effects on animal health and deliver Se to the human diet (Gissel-Nielsen, 1998; Combs, 2001; Gupta & Gupta, 2002; Lyons et al., 2003, 2005; Hartikainen, 20”
Selenium Metabolism in Plants (2010, background): “In this context it is interesting to note that Se treatment has been reported to enhance glutathione peroxidase activity in plants, and to reduce lipid peroxidation (Cartes et al. 2005; Djanaguiraman et al. 2005; Hartikainen 2005).”
Bioavailability of selenium in soil-plant system and a regulatory approach (2018, background): “Concurrently, plants can be an effective buffer that can protect humans from toxic Se intake by direct Se supplementation (Hartikainen, 2005).”
Selenium in agriculture: a nutrient or contaminant for crops? (2014, background): “Selenium biofortification has been suggested as one of the safest ways to alleviate selenium deficiency as selenium is assimilated by plants in organic forms, which are more bioavailable for humans (Hartikainen 2005).”
Food-chain selenium and human health: emphasis on intake (2008, background): “Agronomic fortification with selenised fertilisers was the public-health solution successfully adopted in 1984 by Finland, formerly a low-Se country, that resulted in an increase in Se intake from 38mg/d (for a daily energy intake of 10MJ) before fortification to 80mg/d in 2001((11,180,181)).”
Physiological functions of beneficial elements. (2009, neutral): “Trace amounts of Se also stimulated growth in a variety of non-hyperaccumulator species including ryegrass, lettuce, potato, and duckweed (for a review see [32]).”
Selenium in food and the human body: a review. (2008, background): “extreme cases (Hartikainen, 2005).”
Seed priming: state of the art and new perspectives (2015, background): “The positive role played by Se is possibly due to modulation of the sugar flux that might act as a molecular signal for the activation of the plant response under drought stress (Hartikainen 2005; Kishor et al. 2005).”
Micronutrients for Sustainable Food, Feed, Fibre and Bioenergy Production (2008, result): “While Se has been recognised as essential in the diet of humans and animals since 1957 (Hartikainen, 2005), the present results still fall short of the critical evidence that Se is essential for plants.”
Beneficial elements for agricultural crops and their functional relevance in defence against stresses (2016, background): “Despite this, Se has not been validated as an essential element; numerous studies have demonstrated that Se may exert beneficial effects at their low concentration, including increased growth in ryegrass, lettuce, potato, and buckweed (Hartikainen 2005).”
Effect of selenium on macro- and microelement distribution and physiological parameters of rape and wheat seedlings exposed to cadmium stress (2010, background): “The review by Hartikainen (2005) provided evidence that selenium (Se) is an advantageous trace element defending plants against the oxidative effects caused by internal and external stressors.”
Agronomic biofortification of Brassica with selenium—enrichment of SeMet and its identification in Brassica seeds and meal (2010, background): “Applied SY does not improve animal productivity, e.g. growth (Haug et al. 2008) or milk production (Phipps et al. 2008), but it exerts a beneficial effect on the food chain since meat and dairy products are the main source of Se in human diets (Hartikainen 2005).”
