callus |
quantitative real-time PCR enzyme expression analysis in calli from cultures grown in different media. Transcript level of callus tissues grown at 0.0052 mM and 0.0264 mM Se-enriched media is lower than that of the control callus. In contrast, a high level of Se (0.132 mM) in the medium causes an approximately 4.26times higher level of SMT transcript in callus than the control |

Expression |
Astragalus chrysochlorus |
selenocysteine methyltransferase gene expression and antioxidant enzyme activities in Astragalus chrysochlorus are selenium-induced. Transcript level of callus tissues grown at 0.0052 mM and 0.0264 mM Se-enriched media is lower than that of the control callus. In contrast, a high level of Se (0.132 mM) in the medium causes an approximately 4.26times higher level of SMT transcript in callus than the control |

Organism |
metabolism |
an increase of SMT gene expression leads to a rise in APX and POX, but a suppression of CAT and GR enzymes activities in Astragalus chrysochlorus. Selenium might be involved in the antioxidant metabolism in Astragalus chrysochlorus |
Astragalus chrysochlorus |
physiological function |
selenocysteine methyltransferase (SMT) is responsible for forming methylselenocysteine (MeSeCys) |
