This book covers many facets of plant selenium (Se) accumulation: molecular genetics, biochemistry, physiology, and ecological and evolutionary aspects. Broader impacts and applications of plant Se accumulation also receive attention. Plant Se accumulation is very relevant for environmental and human health. Selenium is both essential at low levels and toxic at high levels, and both Se deficiency and toxicity are problems worldwide. Selenium can positively affect crop productivity and nutritional value. Plants may also be used to clean up excess environmental Se. Selenium in plants has profound ecological impact, and likely contributes to Se movement in ecosystems and global Se cycling.

igger selenium picture This book will be of interest to the diverse selenium research community, managers and inhabitants of seleniferous areas, and anyone who is interested in learning about this interesting and important element Relative to other books about selenium, this volume stands out in its scope. It strives to put plant selenium accumulation in the broadest possible context, including its relevance for global Se cycling, movement of Se in the food chain, and importance for human and environmental health. At the same time, the book thoroughly covers the molecular mechanisms of Se metabolism in plants, and includes succinct overviews of Se transformations in bacteria, algae and mammals, including health aspects in humans Relative to other books about selenium, which often consist of a series of chapters that are not necessarily meant to complement one another, this book strives to form a coherent story, each chapter contributing a facet of the fascinating b
