  1. The relative levels of free amino acids (nmol −1 100 mg FW) were measured in root tissue from untreated plants and plants treated with selenite for 3 days. Values represent levels relative to control, and are the mean and SE of 4 replicates from individual plants. Asterisks denote a significant difference between treatments (p < 0.05).
