Selenium increases photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, nodulation, and development of soybean plants (Glycine max L.)
Abstract:Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the physiological roles of Se in the photosynthetic pigment profile, oxidative metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, nodulation, and its role in soybean production.
Methods
Two independent experiments were carried out: one conducted in soil and the other in a nutrient solution. When the plants reached the V2 growth stage, five (0, 7.5, 15, 30, and 45 µg kg− 1) and four Se (0, 5, 10, and 15 µmol L− 1) rates from a sodium selenate source were applied to soil and hydroponic… Show more
