Abstract

• Certain plant species hyperaccumulate selenium (Se) up to 0.6% of their dry weight. It is not known whether Se hyperaccumulation offers the plants any advantage. In this study the hypothesis was tested that Se can protect plants from invertebrate herbivory or fungal infection. • Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) plants grown with or without Se were subjected to herbivory by caterpillars (Pieris rapae) and snails (Mesodon ferrissi), or to fungal infection by a root/stem pathogen (Fusarium sp.) and a leaf pathogen (Alternaria brassicicola). • When given a choice between leaves with or without Se (0.1% Se of leaf d. wt), the caterpillars strongly preferred leaves without Se (P < 0.01), while the snails preferred leaves containing Se (P < 0.015). When consumed, the Se leaves were lethal to the caterpillars. The snails showed no toxicity symptoms, even though their tissue Se concentrations were comparable with the caterpillars. Se-containing plants were less susceptible to infection by both fungi. • In conclusion, Se was shown to protect Indian mustard plants from fungal infection and from herbivory by caterpillars, but not by snails.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
