  1. The relative levels of metabolites were measured in untreated plants (day 0) 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).
