Description
Ümmügülsüm Polat Korkunç and co-authors studied how garlic takes up selenium, in a 2025 chemistry paper. Selenium is a nutrient that many people get too little of. Garlic is known for storing large amounts of it. The team grew garlic without soil, in water fed with three levels of a selenium salt.
They measured selenium in roots and leaves, then split it into its chemical forms. Two organic forms made up most of what the plants stored. The team also found forms they could not name, which points to more work ahead. Findings like these matter for growing crops that can safely top up selenium in human diets.
