Uptake, transport, and metabolism of selenium and its protective effects against toxic metals in plants: a review
Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element of fundamental importance to humans, animals, and plants. However, the uptake, transport, and metabolic processes of Se and its underlying mechanisms in plants have not been well characterized. Here, we review our current understanding of the adsorption and assimilation of Se in plants. First, we discussed the conversion of Se from inorganic Se into organic forms, the mechanisms underlying the formation of seleno-amino acids, and the detoxification of Se. We then discussed the ways in which Se protects plants against toxic metal ions in the environment, such as by alleviating oxidative stress, regulating the activity of antioxidant enzymes, sequestering metal ions, and preventing metal ion uptake and accumulation. Generally, this review will aid future research examining the molecular mechanisms underlying the antagonistic relationships between Se and toxic metals in plants.

Traits possessed by hyperaccumulators serve two essential aspects of the ecosystem: phytoremediation and biofortification of metal ions.
“The traits possessed by hyperaccumulators serve two essential aspects of the ecosystem: phytoremediation and the other is the biofortification of metal ions (Pirzadah et al., 2019; Jiang et al., 2021; Yang et al., 2021; Pirzadah et al., 2022).”

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.
