My research is about the interactive effects of Selenium and salt stress on growth and physiology of Mungbean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.). The aspects of Selenium I was most interested was the growth promotion and stress mitigation under abiotic stresses in plants. To study this fact, I fertilized the plants with Selenium as well as used Se seed-priming technique and then analyze growth, yield, reproductive, oxidative and antioxidative traits in salt-stressed Mungbean plants. My study revealed that Se at low concentration in soil-grown plants, obstruct the uptake of Na+ ions, which resulted in improvement in activity of some antioxidants, sucrose levels, reproductive performance and hence yield in the salt-stressed Mungbean plants. I aim to apply the insights gained from my study to compare the growth and physiology of the plants in vivo enriched with Se (from Se-fertilized and Se-primed plants) under salt-stressed conditions.
