Examination of the selenium content of wheat grasses produced in different soil types in Csik Basin

In the course of the research, we determined selenium and dry matter content of 35 wheat grass and 35 wheat seed samples. The se- lenium content of the preparation plant probes was measured by spectro- uorimetric determination ( excitation = 380 nm, emission = 519 nm) of the resulted piazselenol complex. It was established that between the selenium content of the wheat grass and wheat seed the correlation co- efficient was 0.36 at p = 0.05 level, which indicates a medium-close cor- relation. Similarly, there was a medium-close correlation between the selenium content of the wheat grass calculated on dry-matter basis and total selenium content of the wheat, with a correlation coefficient of 0.40 at p = 0.02 level. Afterwards, beside the selenium content, we measured the selenomethionine content by ion-exchange chromatography and high- performance liquid chromatography, and the organic selenium content
