It is demonstrated that the rice genotypes rich in Se can be selected to improve human Se nutrition and that close relationship between Se and As was observed among genotypes.
Abstract
Concentrations of selenium (Se) and the some other micronutrients in polished grains of 239 rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes and the relationship between Se and other micronutrients was examined. Significant differences were found in the concentrations of Se in polished rice grains between genotype. Close relationship between Se and As (r =0.9743) ,Zn,Ni,Co,Mo or Cr was observed among genotypes. This study demonstrates that we can select the rice genotypes rich in Se to improve human Se nutrition.
