Selenium protects plants from phloem-feeding aphids due to both deterrence and toxicity
• Certain plant species hyperaccumulate selenium (Se) to 1000 mg kg − 1 d. wt, even from low-Se soils. It is not known whether Se hyperaccumulation offers these plants any advantage. In this study the hypothesis was tested that Se can protect plants from phloem-feeding herbivores. • Indian mustard ( Brassica juncea ) grown with or without Se was subjected to colonization by green peach aphids (...
متن کاملSelenium accumulation protects plants from herbivory by Orthoptera via toxicity and deterrence.
To investigate whether selenium (Se) accumulation in plants provides a chemical defense against generalist insect herbivores, the feeding preference and performance of a mix of orthopteran species were investigated. The selenium hyperaccumulator Stanleya pinnata and accumulator Brassica juncea were used in herbivory studies in the laboratory, and S. pinnata was also used in a manipulative field...
متن کاملAn Overview of Selenium Uptake, Metabolism, and Toxicity in Plants
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and animals, but lead to toxicity when taken in excessive amounts. Plants are the main source of dietary Se, but essentiality of Se for plants is still controversial. However, Se at low doses protects the plants from variety of abiotic stresses such as cold, drought, desiccation, and metal stress. In animals, Se acts as an antioxidant and h...
متن کاملSudden death due to the Acetone toxicity
Propanone is a volatile liquid that can be absorbed by ingestion, inhalation, dermal and is distributed throughout the body. In this study, a fatal case involving acetone poisoning, who was worked in the Red Crescent Medical Center is presented. The deceased was found four hours after death. He was a 25-year-old male nurse and not married. There are the history of smoking since four years ago, ...
متن کاملSelenium Protects Neonates against Neurotoxicity from Prenatal Exposure to Manganese
Manganese (Mn) exposure can affect brain development. Whether Selenium (Se) can protect neonates against neurotoxicity from Mn exposure remains unclear. We investigated this issue in 933 mother-newborn pairs in Shanghai, China, from 2008 through 2009. Umbilical cord serum concentrations of Mn and Se were measured and Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA) tests were conducted. The s...
