We have studied the influence of 50 sulfate/selenate ratios in the range of 2; 1.5; 1; 0.5; 0 mM/0.125; 0.25; 0.375; 0.5; 0.75; 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5; 3 mM on biomass growth, glucosinolate biosynthesis and selenium accumulation in T. majus and A. caucasica transformed roots producing Phe-derived glucotropaeolin and Met-derived glucoiberverin, respectively. Gradual decrease in glucosinolate production, more significant in glucoiberverin, was correlated both with the decrease in sulfate and increase in selenate concentrations and with increasing Se accumulation in the biomass of the roots. Both T. majus and A. caucasica transformed roots accumulated high amounts of Se in biomass, up to 2177 ± 81.7 µg·g⁻¹ DM and 3110 ± 97.4 µg·g⁻¹ DM, respectively, in the media with sulfate 0.5; 0 mM/selenate 2.5 mM ratios. In transformed roots cultured at sulfate 1.5; 1; 0.5; 0 mM/selenate 0.75; 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5; 3 mM ratios accumulation of Se into glucosinolate fractions occurred, it reached the maxima at sulfate 0.5 mM/selenate 2.5 mM ratio. In T. majus roots Se accumulation in glucosinolate fraction was by about 50% lower than in A. caucasica ones. These results indicated that selenium enriched hairy roots of T. majus and A. caucasica could be fully controlled sources of both glucosinolates and selenium as supplements for cancer chemoprevention.
