Selenium is an essential trace element for humans, selenium deficiency causes Keshan and Kashin-Beck diseases. Rice is one of the most important staple food for Chinese，however the selenium content in rice grain is very low. The research progress of rice with high selenium content were reviewed in the this paper, including selenium content and existence form among different rice varieties, enhancement of selenium content through breeding approaches and agronomic measurements such as different forms of selenium fertilizer implementation, stages of selenium fertilizer implementation and water management，to provide important references and selections for production of selenium-rich rice.
