Selenium (Se) is considered a beneficial element for plants; however, in high concentrations, it causes negative effects on plant physiology and development. This study reports the first physiological, nutritional, and ultrastructural description of...

Variation in grain Zn concentration, and the grain ionome, in field-grown Indian wheat (2018)
Journal Article
Khokhar, J. S., Sareen, S., Tyagi, B. S., Singh, G., Wilson, L., King, I. P., …Broadley, M. R. (2018). Variation in grain Zn concentration, and the grain ionome, in field-grown Indian wheat. PLoS ONE, 13(1), Article e0192026. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0192026

Wheat is an important dietary source of zinc (Zn) and other mineral elements in many countries. Dietary Zn deficiency is widespread, especially in developing countries, and breeding (genetic biofortification) through the HarvestPlus programme has rec...
