Effects of Se-biofortification on Se-S crosstalk and accumulation of S-metabolites One common observation from biofortification studies is that the content of inorganic or organic Se species tendentially builds up in crops fertilized with Se, while the amount of S-containing phytochemicals with functional roles in plant defense mechanisms and human health, such as glucosinolates (GLS), glutathione and S amino acids, might undergo variation depending on Se dose and species to be used, plant species and genotype, and mode of Se fertilization (foliar fertilization or soil amendment with Se) (Bachiega et al. ./cache/cord-348812-lufg9w7n.txt ./txt/cord-348812-lufg9w7n.txt
