Integration of metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses reveals the effects of nano-selenium on pak choi.

ABSTRACT: Selenium is an indispensable nutrient for plants, and optimizing selenium levels can enhance plant growth and metabolism, leading to improved yield and quality. In comparison to conventional inorganic or organic selenium fertilizers, nano-selenium demonstrates superior safety and enhanced biological activity, making it more suitable for crop production. Although nano-selenium fertilizer is extensively used in various crops, its application in pak choi remains limited. As a vital source of selenium, previous research on pak choi (Brassica chinensis var. pekinensis cv. 'Suzhouqing') has primarily focused on investigating physiological effects with limited exploration of the molecular mechanism. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of nano-selenium on pak choi through an integ
