Abstract: To identify the selenium-rich ability of different chive varieties, under the same selenium supply and unified field management, the total selenium content of edible parts of 19 different chive varieties was determined. Five agronomic traits of plant height, plant width, number of leaves per plant, number of tillers and weight per plant, as well as five quality traits including amino acid content, crude protein content, soluble sugar content, vitamin C content and dry matter rate, were measured. The correlation analysis was conducted to clarify the correlation of agronomic traits and quality traits with plant selenium content. The Se-enriched ability of chives was classified by cluster analysis. The results showed that the Se-enriched ability of different chives varied greatly. The average selenium content of 19 chive varieties was 0.014 mg/kg, in which AF85 had the highest content of 0.024 mg/kg. Selenium content showed a significantly positive correlation with amino acid content and a significantly negative correlation with soluble sugar content. The tested varieties could be divided into three categories by cluster analysishigh selenium content, medium selenium content and low selenium content. Among them, AF85 and AF60 were varieties with the most abundant selenium, and the average selenium content was 0.023 0 mg/kg.
