| Arabidopsis plants were grown on agar containing a complete mineral complement and various concentrations of selenate and sulphate. |
|
| Early studies in yeast demonstrated selenate and chromate as effective inhibitors of sulfate uptake. |
|
| Accumulator plants produce methylated forms of selenium as a way to detoxify inorganic selenate. |
|
| Selenium can be taken up by plant roots as selenate, selenite or as organoselenium compounds such as the amino acids selenocysteine and selenomethionine. |
|
| Specifically, sodium selenite is often unsafe at levels exceeding 600 micrograms, whereas selenium from yeast, L-selenomethionine and sodium selenate are generally much safer. |
