Background  Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in crops affects the yield and quality of crops and harms human health. The application of selenium (Se) can reduce the absorption and transport of Cd in winter wheat.    Results  The results showed that increasing Se supply significantly decreased Cd concentration and accumulation in the shoot and root of winter wheat and the root-to-shoot translocation of Cd. Se application increased the root length, surface area and root volume but decreased the average root diameter. Increasing Se supply significantly decreased Cd concentration in the cell wall, soluble fraction and cell organelles in root and shoot. An increase in Se supply inhibited Cd distribution in the organelles of shoot and root but enhanced Cd distribution in the soluble fraction of shoot and the cell wall of root. The Se supply also decreased the proportion of active Cd (ethanol-extractable (FE) Cd and deionized water-extractable (FW) Cd) in root. In addition, the expression of  TaNramp5 -a,  TaNramp5 -b,  TaHMA3 -a,  TaHMA3 -b and  TaHMA2  significantly increased with increasing Cd concentration in root, and the expression of  TaNramp5-a ,  TaNramp5-b  and  TaHMA2  in root was downregulated by increasing Se supply, regardless of Se supply or Cd stress. The expression of  TaHMA3 -b in root was significantly downregulated by 10 μM Se at both the 5 μM and 25 μM Cd level but upregulated by 5 μM Se at the 25 μM Cd level. The expression of  TaNramp5 -a,  TaNramp5 -b,  TaHMA3 -a,  TaHMA3 -b and  TaHMA2  in shoot was downregulated by increasing Se supply at 5 μM Cd level, and 5 μM Se upregulated the expression of those genes in shoot at 25 μM Cd level.    Conclusions  The results confirm that Se application limits Cd accumulation in wheat by regulating the subcellular distribution and chemical forms of Cd in winter wheat tissues, as well as the expression of  TaNramp5-a ,  TaNramp5 -b and  TaHMA2  in root.
