Abstract: Selenium is one of the necessary micronutrients for people and animal, and the food crop like wheat is the main source of selenium in human body. In order to promote the development of selenium- enriched wheat, the data related to selenium- enriched wheat were collected from the published papers and our own studies, and the effect of selenium on human health, the action mechanism of selenium, and the absorption, utilization and content of selenium in wheat were reviewed and analyzed. Some suggestions about further study on selenium-rich wheat were presented. The author proposed the study focus on the relationship of soils with their content of selenium, the technology of selenium fertilizer application, the nutrition level of seleniumenriched wheat, etc.
