Key Findings
- The study from Sichuan Agricultural University explored how different tea infusions affect selenium (Se) uptake in grapevines
- Black tea infusion significantly boosted grapevine growth, increasing biomass, photosynthetic pigments, and antioxidant enzyme activities
- Dark and white tea infusions notably enhanced Se content in grapevine shoots, making them more effective for Se enrichment than black and green teas
