Selenium improves the transport dynamics and energy conservation of the photosynthetic apparatus of in vitro grown Billbergia zebrina (Bromeliaceae)
Selenium (Se) is a nonessential element to plants. However, Se is known to have a beneficial effect when present in low concentrations (Pilon-Smith et al. 2009). Several studies have demonstrated multiple impacts of Se on plant physiology, such as increased biomass production (Chen et al. 2014, Jian...

| Summary: | Selenium (Se) is a nonessential element to plants. However, Se is known to have a beneficial effect when present in low concentrations (Pilon-Smith et al. 2009). Several studies have demonstrated multiple impacts of Se on plant physiology, such as increased biomass production (Chen et al. 2014, Jiang et al. 2015, Feng et al. 2016), delayed senescence (Xue et al. 2001), increased tolerance to oxidative damage (Feng et al. 2013, Diao et al. 2014, Qing et al. 2015, Tang et al. 2015), increased production of carotenoid pigments (Ning et al. 2016), higher tolerance to photooxidative stresses (Seppänen et al. 2003), greater carbohydrate accumulation (Turakainen et al. 2006, Owusu-Sekyere et al. 2013), and alleviation of the effects of biotic and abiotic stresses (Hanson et al. 2003, Yao et al. 2010, Hasanuzzaman and Fujita 2011, Han et al. 2015). |
