Selenium and Nano-Selenium-Mediated Arsenic Stress Tolerance in Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Selenium and Nano-Selenium in Environmental Stress Management and Crop Quality Improvement

Part of the book series: Sustainable Plant Nutrition in a Changing World ((SPNCW))

Abstract

Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic and carcinogenic metalloid. Its accumulation in plants and subsequent consumption by animals and humans threaten life forms. In contrast, selenium (Se) is a metalloid, essential for many species, including humans and also considered beneficial for plants. Selenium plays an important role in many biological functions. Plants are the major source of dietary intake of Se for people across the world. Interest in the biological impact of Se has grown dramatically and Se field is expanding at a rapid pace in the last few years. Nano-selenium has attracted more attention due to a wide range of medical applications, enhanced antioxidant properties as well as less toxicity than inorganic and organic forms of Se. The antagonistic nature of Se against As toxicity in plants is well reported. This chapter focuses on various aspects of Se biology and advanced new approaches that insight into Se and nano-Se-mediated amelioration of As burden in plants. The interpretation of Se-induced changes at transcript and protein level will help to present a complete inventory of genes and proteins and the pathways involved in the reduction of As stress in plants.
