Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Fresh mass declined at the highest selenium concentration.
- Intervention effect Higher selenium concentrations increased stomatal size.
- Intervention effect Selenium improved PSII and PSI electron transport.
- Intervention effect Selenium raised the total performance index.
- Intervention effect Selenium treated plants had higher electron transport dynamics and energy conservation.
- Observation Selenium treated plants developed anatomical traits that could favor water deficit tolerance.
