Key Findings
- The study by Sichuan Agricultural University found that applying indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) to grapevines under selenium (Se) stress increased their biomass
- IAA application enhanced the levels of photosynthetic pigments and antioxidant enzyme activities in grapevines, helping them manage selenium-induced oxidative stress
- Exogenous IAA also increased the total selenium content in grapevine roots and shoots, improving selenium uptake and accumulation
