Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Selenium increased nodule number and fresh weight in inoculated low-nitrogen alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Selenium had no effect on nitrogenase activity in inoculated low-nitrogen plants.
- Intervention effect Selenium significantly increased net assimilation rate and soluble sugars in nodulated low-N plants.
- Intervention effect Selenium enhanced protein synthesis in nodulated low-N plants.
- Intervention effect Selenium generally diminished antioxidative enzyme activity.
- Intervention effect Hydrogen peroxide and superoxide concentrations remained constant or decreased under selenium.
- Intervention effect Selenium significantly increased the GSH/GSSG ratio, particularly under low nitrogen.
- Mechanism The authors suggest selenium improves carbohydrate metabolism through altered glutathione redox state.
