Abstrakt: Arsenic (As) contamination of agricultural soil has become a major concern due to its adverse effects on plant growth and human health. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), a novel selenium (Se) source, are characterised by their exceptional biocompatibility, degradability, and bioactivities. In the present study, SeNPs were biogenically synthesised and further characterised using UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, and TEM analysis. Different concentrations of the synthesised SeNPs were used to treat Spinacia oleracea L. (spinach) seeds to determine their impact on growth profile, gas exchange, photosynthetic pigments, oxidative stress, and antioxidant enzyme status upon arsenite (AsIII) treatment. The findings revealed that SeNP supplementation at a concentration of 100 µM (SeNPs100) led to a significant reduction in As accumulation by twofold in roots and 1.5-fold in leaves when compared to plants exposed to AsIII100 (µM) alone. Interestingly, the photosynthetic efficiency was also remarkably enhanced upon SeNPs100 treatment, associated with increased activities of the defence enzymes (ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) in the AsIII + SeNP-exposed spinach plants as compared to AsIII treatment alone. Overall, the present study highlights the potential of biogenic SeNP supplementation in promoting plant growth and mitigating As toxicity in spinach under AsIII stress. This study could have significant implications for the use of SeNPs as a nanofertiliser in regions grappling with As-contaminated soils for sustainable agriculture and human health.
