Spermine-Mediated Tolerance to Selenium Toxicity in Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) Depends on Endogenous Nitric Oxide Synthesis

Excess selenium (Se) causes toxicity, and nitric oxide (NO)’s function in spermine (Spm)-induced tolerance to Se stress is unknown. Using wheat plants exposed to 1 mM sodium selenate—alone or in combination with either 1 mM Spm, 0.1 mM NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or 0.1 mM NO scavenger cPTIO...
