Physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic analysis of castor (Ricinus communis L.) under foliar selenium treatment
This study identified the optimal Se concentration (20-40 mg/L), which significantly improved the growth of castor and contributed to understanding the effects of Se treatment on the expression of genes in castor, providing valuable insights into the regulatory mechanisms of Se in alleviating abiotic stress in castor plants and inform optimal Se application strategies.
