%X Rice (Oryza sativa L.) farmers face challenges with metal accumulation in grain, with nickel (Ni) recently emerging as a concern due to its potential to exceed legal limits, alongside cadmium (Cd). Information on Ni behaviour and its interaction with Cd remains limited. Selenium (Se) is commonly used for rice biofortification and can reduce the accumulation of toxic metals in plants. Therefore, this study explores how Ni and Cd influence mutual accumulation in rice and examines the impact of different Se forms on these interactions. Plants were grown hydroponically with various combinations of Cd (5 or 20 μmol/L), Ni (20 μmol/L), and Se (5 μmol/L) as selenate (Se6+) or selenite (Se4+) for 7 d. Plant growth, lipid peroxidation, and element accumulation were measured, and the distribution of Se and Ni in tissues was assayed using synchrotron μXRF 2D imaging. Cd and Ni were found to be toxic to rice, reducing leaf and root biomass by 40
