Influence of selenite and selenate on growth, leaf physiology and antioxidant defense system in wheat (<scp><i>Triticum aestivum</i></scp> L.)

Abstract

Wheat cultivar PBW621 could adapt to applied selenite concentrations by developing antioxidant defense system but selenate treated plants could exhibit toxicity tolerance up to 2 mg kg^-1 and died at high concentrations due to damage to tissue development and function. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
