Pictorial representation of the interface of Se with soil, plant and atmosphere. Selenium present in soil is transported inside the plant through sulfate transporters present in the plasma membrane of root cells. It is then assimilated to organic Se via sulfur metabolic pathway inside the plant and volatilized as DMSe (Dimethylselenide) and DMDSe (Dimethyldiselenide) into atmosphere.
