Summary: Feeding behavior in animals is guided by various physiological needs, with dietary protein intake being a specific and crucial nutritional requirement. Animals are able to sense restricted protein intake and adaptively alter their feeding behavior to increase protein intake, indicating a strong body of literature supporting the defense of protein intake.

Summary: Research has shown that carbohydrate intake plays a vital role in regulating intestinal epithelial gene expression and the enzymes and transport proteins required for carbohydrate digestion and absorption; gamma delta T cells regulate this process by suppressing interleukin-22 production by type 3 innate lymphoid cells; nutrient availability affects the tissue localization and transcriptome of gamma delta T cells, as well as the cellular remodeling of the epithelial compartment.

Summary: This study addresses the asymptotic behavior of the alpha-Gauss curvature flow with alpha > 1/2. The flow is shown to locally converge smoothly to a translating soliton, which is uniquely determined by the asymptotic cylinder of the initial hypersurface, as t tends to positive infinity.

Summary: Plants form symbiotic relationships with soil microorganisms to overcome nutrient limitations. Plant interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and rhizobia bacteria have been extensively studied. The regulation of nutrient homeostasis and acquisition in plants involves small molecules such as peptides and miRNAs. These molecules respond to the availability of essential nutrients and play a role in plant responses to root colonization and mineral nutrition. The crosstalk between root endosymbiosis and nutrient availability is a subject of intense investigation, with a focus on peptides and miRNAs.

Summary: Conceptual models describe the constraints to feed intake of animals, including gut capacity and metabolic demand. Research has focused on mechanisms for sensing nutrient availability and providing feedback to hypothalamic centers. The hepatic oxidation theory suggests that liver energy charge is the regulated variable that affects dietary intake changes and whole-body energy balance.

Summary: This study found that Arabidopsis seedlings showed different growth responses and root architecture on various rock meals. Simultaneous supply of organic nutrients and trace elements increased seedling biomass, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium had different effects on seedling growth depending on the type of rock meal. Unexpectedly, the addition of nitrogen negatively affected seedling growth on marlstone, possibly due to suppressed auxin biosynthesis in the roots.

Summary: The study demonstrates how nutrients released from apoptotic cells can promote the growth of Enterobacteriaceae and highlights the role of pyruvate formate-lyase-encoding pflB gene in bacterial colonization in various contexts. These findings provide new insights into host-pathogen interactions and have implications for gut inflammation and chemotherapy treatment.

Summary: Excessive fertilization and nitrogen enrichment in managed forests can affect biogeochemical cycles. This study investigated the effects of nitrogen supply on multi-nutrient stoichiometries in different organs of Chinese hickory saplings. The results showed that nitrogen supply significantly influenced the growth and nutrient concentrations in the roots, stems, and leaves. Macronutrients generally responded more positively than micronutrients, and leaves and stems were more responsive to nitrogen supply than the roots. The stoichiometric ratios of nutrients within organs changed significantly with nitrogen supply, but the direction and degree of change varied by organ.

Summary: Internal nutrient loading can delay the recovery of eutrophication in lakes, even when external loading is controlled. The dissolved oxygen conditions at the water-sediment interface improve in seasons without algal blooms, but become more anaerobic during bloom seasons. Macroinvertebrates, particularly those living at the water-sediment interface, show sensitivity to these changes. The study suggests that the changes in dissolved oxygen conditions caused by intensified internal loading significantly affect the community structure, diversity, and response of macroinvertebrates to eutrophication.

Summary: Cadmium (Cd) pollution poses a serious threat to crop production. This study investigated the hormonal regulation of phytochelatin (PC) synthesis and the role of melatonin in enhancing plant resistance to Cd stress in tomato. Results showed that Cd stress decreased chlorophyll content and CO2 assimilation rate, but increased Cd, H2O2, and MDA accumulation in the shoot, particularly in PCs deficient plants. Exogenous melatonin treatment increased endogenous melatonin and PC contents, alleviated oxidative stress, and improved osmotic balance and nutrient absorption. These findings provide insights into the mechanism of melatonin-regulated PC synthesis and its potential to enhance plant resistance to toxic metal stress.

Summary: Calcium (Ca2+) is an essential macronutrient for plants, playing crucial roles in various functions, especially under stressful conditions. It exhibits significant effects on cell wall weakening and other symptoms at low concentrations or insufficiency. Calcium is taken up by roots through channels or proteins and functions as a signaling molecule in the cytosol, eventually being transported and transmitted by various proteins and channels. Ca2+ also acts as a secondary messenger in physiological, stress-related, and developmental events.

Summary: Jasmonates play important roles in plant defense and growth regulation, and recent studies have revealed their involvement in nutrient uptake and homeostasis. Jasmonates regulate various responses in plants under different nutrient deficiency conditions, such as altered root growth, activation of nutrient transporters, and modulation of plant development. They also interact with other phytohormones to improve plant growth and adaptive response to nutrient deficiencies.

Summary: Efficient regulation of growth and adaptation to resource availability is crucial for plants. Fluctuating mineral levels create combined nutrient stress. Limited understanding of plant responses. This review focuses on phosphorous homeostasis and recent research on element interactions to enhance plant nutrition under combined stress.

Summary: This study found that drought caused soil nutrient deficiency and decoupling of nitrogen and phosphorus cycling, but also demonstrated that Mongolian pine has high adaptability to drought-induced decrease in soil nutrient availability by maintaining a large amount of fine-root biomass to ensure sufficient nutrient uptake.

Summary: When animals decide what to eat, they consider sensory information and internal states. This study found that metabolic state globally modulates sensorimotor processing, while reproductive state locally regulates how sensory information is transformed into feeding motor output. These two states synergistically regulate food intake and choice.
