Plant selenium content increased by 30.7% in yellow brown soil and 42.9% in calcareous soil with Bacillus cereus SESY inoculation.
Key metabolites like xanthine positively correlate with enriched Sphingomonas and selenium availability in root environments.
Integrated multi-omics analysis identifies genes involved in selenium metabolism and motility in bacteria aiding biofortification.
This microbiome-driven strategy may enhance agricultural practices, suggesting novel approaches to improve crop nutrition.
