e0“Vicia faba seeds were primed by soaking in a 100 µM Se solution for 12 h or in water for control”
e1“The short-term exposure to 50 mM Pb via foliar spray resulted in minimal visible phytotoxic effects; however, decreased growth parameters were observed”
e2“an increase in stress markers: malondialdehyde (48.56%), H 2 O 2 (68.11%), electrolyte leakage (22.36%), and lipoxygenase (35.43%)”
