Persistence of the Effects of Se-Fertilization in Olive Trees over Time, Monitored with the Cytosolic Ca<sup>2+</sup> and with the Germination of Pollen

Selenium (Se) is an important micronutrient for living organisms, since it is involved in several physiological and metabolic processes. Biofortification with Se increases the nutritional and qualitative values of foods in Se-deficient regions and increases tolerance to oxidative stress in olive tre...
