The results of the study showed that Se content in brown rice increased significantly ( P < 0 . 01 ) as the external selenite or selenate concentrations increased from 10 to 180 micromol/L In contrast , no significant influence ( P > 0 . 05 ) on germination percentage and growth of sprouts was observed when the supplied Se was lower than 60 micromol/L Moreover , selenite was easily transformed into selenoproteins to selenate .
Based on this , ten brown rice cultivars were compared for Se accumulation .
Likewise , significant difference ( P < 0 . 01 ) was found among cultivars with respect to the capacity for Se accumulation .
To understand the distribution of Se in selenized brown rice and its loss during milling , two cultivars with relatively higher ability to accumulate Se , namely , Zhendao 8 ( Z8 ) and Xieyou 57 ( X57 ) , were selected for further study .
The results showed that Se content was highest in the sprouts and decreased remarkably ( P < 0 . 01 ) from the bran layers to the endosperm .
In terms of Se loss during the milling procedure , 39 . 02% and 48 . 46% of Se were lost in Z8 and X57 , respectively .
