Selenium-Enriched Pollen Grains of Olea europaea L.: Ca2+ Signaling and Germination Under Oxidative Stress

Selenium (Se) shows antioxidant properties that can be exploited in plants to combat abiotic stresses caused by reactive oxygen species produced in excess (ROS). Here, we show that the Se-fertilization of olive trees with sodium selenate effectively protects the pollen from oxidative stress. Pollen...
