Selenium in plants Molecular, Physiological, Ecological and Evolutionary Aspects /

This book focuses on selenium (Se) metabolism in plants. It not only covers plant genetic, biochemical and physiological processes but places these in the context of Se movement in the food chain and the global environment, as well as discusses ecological and evolutionary significance. While Se is a...
