Se-biofortified agricultural products receive considerable interest due to the worldwide severity of selenium (Se) deficiency. Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.), the king of forage, has a large biomass, a high protein content, and a high level of adaptability, making it a good resource for Se biofortifi...
