Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Foliar zinc and selenium applications did not influence grain yield.
- Observation Sprayed wheat grain zinc concentration reached 58.3–77.9 mg kg −1.
- Intervention effect Estimated absorbed zinc from grain and flour increased 1.2‐ to 2.4‐fold relative to control.
- Intervention effect Daily selenium intake increased 16.8‐fold on average.
- Intervention effect Combined zinc and selenium spray reduced whole grain and flour selenium concentrations by 32%–37% in one season versus selenium spray alone.
- Intervention effect Combined spray reduced daily selenium intake by 32%–37% in one season versus selenium spray alone.
- Association The reduction was partly associated with reduced selenium distribution to grain.
- Association Methionine and cysteine responses followed grain and flour selenium concentrations.
- Association Flour zinc enrichment paralleled increases in aspartate, glutamate and glycine.
- Association Flour zinc enrichment also paralleled lysine increase.
- Association Flour zinc enrichment did not parallel total amino acid content.
