Tea plants (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) can hyperaccumulate fluoride (F). The accumulation of F in tea leaves may induce serious health problems in tea consumers. It has been reported that selenium (Se) could reduce the accumulation of heavy metals in plants. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether exogenous Se could reduce F accumulation in tea plant. The results showed that Se treatment could decrease F content in tea leaves, increase F accumulation in roots, decrease the proportion of water-soluble F in tea leaves and increase the Se content. Low F levels promoted the accumulation of Se in tea plants. Se treatment could modulate F-induced oxidative injury by decreasing malondialdehyde level and increasing the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase. Moreover, Se inhibited F-induced increase in leaf iron, calcium, aluminum, leaf and root magnesium and lead contents. These results showed that Se application could decrease F content and increase Se content in tea leaves, which may be served as a novel strategy for production of healthy tea.
