Abstract Numerous plant species, particularly those that can accumulate selenium (Se) and silicon (Si), benefit from these
essential micronutrients. Se and Si accumulation in plants profoundly affects several biochemical reactions in
cells. Understanding how plants react to Se/Si enrichment is crucial for ensuring adequate dietary Se/Si intake
for humans and animals and increasing plant tolerance to environmental stressors. Several studies have shown
that Se/Si-enriched plants are more resistant to salinity, drought, extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and excess
metalloids. The interplay between Se/Si in plants is crucial for maintaining growth and development under normal conditions while providing a critical defense mechanism against… More >
