Popis: Since large areas of agricultural soils around the world are contaminated by Cd, a cost-effective and practical method is needed for the safe production of edible plants. The effective role of many nanomaterials to improve plant yield by mitigating environmental pollutions is addressed; however, the impacts of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) have not been well-known yet. The aim of this work was to investigate foliar application of Se-NPs on yield, water content, proline concentration, phenolic content, lipid peroxidation, and essential oil (EO) attributes of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) under Cd stress. The plants were exposed to Cd contamination (0, 4, and 8 mg L
