For the past few years, selenium has permeated various fields in the life science with its strong vitality, and this fields expanded rapidly. In this paper, research progress on macromolecular bioselenium, especially on selenoproteins, selenium-nucleic acids and the selenium polysaccharides were summarized....

A new strategy of high concentration short duration treatment of Thidiazuron (TDZ) for enhancing adventitious buds formation from hypocotyl explants were attempted in Jatropha curcas. The best shoot buds induction (81.91%) and number of buds per explant (10.16) were obtained from hypocotyl explants treated...

A high-frequency protocol for induction of adventitious buds and plant regeneration from cotyledon explant of Jatropha curcas is described. The cotyledon explants of J. curcas cultured directly onto medium containing Thidiazuron (TDZ) induced regeneration of only poor quality adventitious buds that had...
