Increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide reduce the mineral content but increase the levels of starch and sugars found in crop plants; which could exacerbate both obesity and malnutrition in some human populations.

Plants show a high level of genetic diversity in their response to elevated CO₂, suggesting the presence of genetic mechanisms that will allow them to adapt to this environmental change.

A high-phytate-low Ca²⁺ diet causes crystal nephropathies, renal phosphate wasting, and bone disease in rats, whereas high Ca²⁺ intake ameliorates the detrimental effects of a high-phytate diet.

Real-time ³³P imaging combined with specific complementation of inorganic phosphate transport in the root cap reveals this tissue’s contribution to phosphate uptake.

Increased root exudation rate under combined drought and bacterial inoculation and bacterial growth stimulation by specific exudation metabolites support the idea of root recruitment of beneficial bacteria, especially under water stress.

High reproductive effort constrains bone tissue response to physical activity-induced mechanical loading.

The nutrient composition of food alters both the size of gut epithelial cells and the ability of the stem cell niche to control tissue turnover, resulting in changes in size at the organ level.

The SCHENGEN3 protein is needed for the progression of isolated microdomains into a continuous band, which is necessary for the establishment of the major extracellular diffusion barrier in plant roots: the Casparian strip.

The experiences that are most rewarding at the time are not necessarily those that are remembered long-term.

Macropinocytosis, the process of non-specific endocytosis, is a major gateway for large volumes of surrounding medium and nanoparticles to coral cells.
