Overview
- igger selenium picture
- This book will be of interest to the diverse selenium research community, managers and inhabitants of seleniferous areas, and anyone who is interested in learning about this interesting and important element
- Relative to other books about selenium, this volume stands out in its scope. It strives to put plant selenium accumulation in the broadest possible context, including its relevance for global Se cycling, movement of Se in the food chain, and importance for human and environmental health. At the same time, the book thoroughly covers the molecular mechanisms of Se metabolism in plants, and includes succinct overviews of Se transformations in bacteria, algae and mammals, including health aspects in humans
- Relative to other books about selenium, which often consist of a series of chapters that are not necessarily meant to complement one another, this book strives to form a coherent story, each chapter contributing a facet of the fascinating b
