“…Moreover, the growth-promoting response to foliar application of selenium was demonstrated in some leafy crops, including chicory (Germ et al 2007), cilantro (Kopsell et al, 2009), pak choi (Li et al, 2015), celery (Li et al, 2020), and cabbage (Yang et al, 2022, Antoshkina et al, 2023, Yu et al, 2023. Also, the increases in nutrient contents obtained in the current study are in harmony with the previous studies for many crops (Wen et al, 2022). Furthermore, the current study demonstrated that foliar application of selenium at 30 μM significantly raised the selenium concentration in the leaves by 69 and 39% in the first and second seasons, respectively.…”

R ECENTLY, beneficial elements have received much attention because of their pivotal contribution in crop sustainability. The biofortification of plants with these elements is one of the brilliant strategies that provide these elements in the food chain for human consumption. Additionally, an unprecedented approach has been made to study the impact of the beneficial elements on plant growth, development, yield, and quality. Accordingly, this study was conducted to investigate the separate efficacy of the cobalt, selenium, and silicon on the biofortification of lettuce cv. Limor plants and scrutinize their potential impacts on growth and productivity during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Ten foliar treatments, including cobalt sulphate at 100, 200 and 300 μM, sodium selenite at 10, 20 and 30 μM, and sodium silicate at 0.5, 1 and 2 mM, and distilled water as a control treatment. The experimental design was a completely randomized block with three replicates. Results clarified that the spraying of these beneficial elements significantly enhanced the vegetative growth parameters, mineral content, chlorophyll content, sugars and free amino acids as compared to the control. The treatments did not affect the content of nitrate and nitrite in the lettuce heads. The increases in head fresh weight ranged from 11.35 to 14.54% in the first season, and from 13.07 to 16.95% in the second season. In conclusion, supplying cobalt sulphate at 100 μM, sodium selenite at 20 μM or sodium silicate at 2 mM as foliar sprayings not only improves the vegetative growth and yield of lettuce plants but also enhances the nutritional quality of plants and fortifies the content of these elements in the lettuce heads.

“…Two reviews have appeared this year on Se speciation focused on different applications. The preparation, purification, bioactivities, and application of Se-enriched proteins have been extensively reviewed by Wen et al 104 The paper is divided into several sections: (1) preparation and purification of Se-enriched proteins obtained from different resources (microorganisms, plants, and animals). In this section the performance of different methods of extracting Se-proteins are critically evaluated such as nature of the solvents (water, salt, ethanol, alkali solution extraction) and extraction techniques (ultrasound assisted and pulsed electric field assisted extraction); (2) bioactivity of Se-enriched proteins and their hydrolysates.…”

“…Ch. Wen et al [98] note that conventional inorganic Se supplements have drawbacks such as toxicity and low bioavailability. Enriched Se proteins and their hydrolysates show good bioactive properties, mainly including antioxidant activity, immune regulation, neuroprotective activity and inhibition of hyperglycaemia, among others.…”

This chapter summarizes the latest information on the main differences in the chemical properties of selenium proteins and their sulfur analogues, Se proteins and their functions, Se-accumulating proteins, the relationship between Se and hemoglobin, Selenium in gerontology, Selenium and iodine deficiency conditions, Se and immunity, Selenium as an antioxidant in nitrite poisoning. Also discussed are some of the results of the first studies on protein enrichment with selenium carried out in the seventies of the last century. This native protein was natural silk fibroin. Fibroin has since become an important tool for human health and healing. It was discovered that when selenium-containing inorganic compounds were added to mulberry silkworm feed, selenium atoms formed additional sulfur-like bonds in fibroin macromolecules. This resulted in additional branching of protein macromolecule. Selenium atoms in the fibroin structure have a sufficiently high electron affinity, act as small traps and capture migrating electrons. This leads to a reduction of free radicals, which are generated by external influences such as mechanical, thermal, electrical and radiation.
