Potential for safe and efficient biofortification of maize crops with selenium in Malawi

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for humans, which is derived primarily from dietary sources. Habitual suboptimal dietary Se intake is associated with reduced Se status and adverse health outcomes including cardiovascular disorders, impaired immune functions and some cancers. The global extent...
