We had invited lecture in the international symposium on buckwheat. Topic of the lecture was about the effect of selenium (Se) and iodine (I) on plants. There is scarce information about possible interactions between selenium and iodine on plants. Seeds of common buckwheat were soaked in different solutions of selenite, selenate, iodide, iodate and their combinations. Adult plants of common buckwheat grown in the field were foliarly treated with the same solutions and combination of selenium and iodine. The content of chlorophyll a and photochemical efficiency of photosystem (PS)II were measured in sprouts and adult plants. Untreated common buckwheat sprouts and sprouts from seeds, soaked in Se(VI) and Se(VI)+(I(-I), had the lowest amount of chlorophyll a. Studied treatments mostly did not affect potential photochemical efficiency of PSII in common buckwheat sprouts. Neither of treatments affected the amount of chlorophyll a, potential and effective photochemical efficiency of PSII in adult common buckwheat plants.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4087887Plants were grown on the field and foliar sprayed by different forms of iodine and/or selenium in solutions just before blooming (1000 mg I/L and 10 mg Se/L). In mature phase, plants were sampled and morphological parameters were determined. We determined Se compounds in Se and I enriched seeds. The main Se compound in pumpkin seeds was SeMet, in other seeds we detected all five Se compounds, Se(IV), Se(VI), SeMet, SeCys and SeMeSeCys.
