in the literature that NPs can have both positive and negative effects on plant growth (Rasheed et al.2022). On the other hand, AgNPs with a size ranging from 7.5 to 70 nm caused a reduced mitotic index, chromosome aberration, and nuclear erosion and elongation of wheat root tip cells (A...
Environmental load calculations: The retention and loss were extrapolated to estimate the Se load from Norwegian salmon farming assuming the annual Atlantic salmon production and feed consumption data (Aas et al., 2019). In addition, the median concentration of Se in Norwegian salmon feeds from the...
Selenium is an essential element in human diets but the risk of suboptimal intake increases where food choices are narrow. Here we show that suboptimal dietary intake (i.e. 20–30 µg Se person−1 d−1) is widespread in Malawi, based on
Micro-analytical techniques to untangle Se distribution and chemical speciation in plants coupled with molecular biology analysis enable the deciphering of

Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.); an important spice crop of the region is a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants having many health benefits. Many biotic and abiotic factors contribute towards growth and yield losses of this crop. Arsenic (As) toxic
These findings underline the dual role of Se in promoting plant health and contributing to human nutrition, emphasizing its importance as a tool for enhancing agricultural sustainability and addressing global food security challenges. The current study aims to fill the research gap on the effects of ...
In the present review, the ongoing researches about selenium research in fish nutrition have been comprehensively discussed. Selenium research is getting p
