Foliar selenium biofortification of soybean: the potential for transformation of mineral selenium into organic forms.

Selenium (Se) deficiency, stemming from malnutrition in humans and animals, has the potential to disrupt many vital physiological processes, particularly those reliant on specific selenoproteins. Agronomic biofortification of crops through the application of Se-containing sprays provides an efficient method to enhance the Se content in the harvested biomass. An optimal candidate for systematic enrichment, guaranteeing a broad trophic impact, must meet several criteria: (i) efficient accumulation of Se without compromising crop yield, (ii) effective conversion of mineral Se fertilizer into usable organically bound Se forms (Se A three-year study in the Czech Republic was conducted to investigate the response of field-grown soybean plants to foliar application of Na Seed yield was unaffected by applied SeO
