Aerolysin ( aer ) is one of the most important and abundant virulence factors in the infection of fish by Aeromonas veronii . A comprehensive study on the molecular characterization and pathogenicity of the aer gene from 34 A. veronii isolates from diseased carp and catfish was carried out and its interactome was analysed to observe the functional correlations between aer and other proteins within the A. veronii network. The PCR‐based amplification of aer from the 34 isolates of A. veronii showed more aer ‐positive isolates from catfish with a high pathogenic potential in the in vivo challenge test than the carp fish. The analysis of aer gene sequence from challenged fish revealed significant sequence divergence according to the types and geographical distribution of the fish. The networking analysis of aer from the model A. veronii B565 revealed histidine kinase ( che A) as the most functional interacting partner. The study of the interaction between aer from the experimental A. veronii and che A demonstrated that the A chain of che A plays a more important role than the corresponding B chain during contact, and a linker sequence of 15 residues controlled the entire interaction process. Therefore, che A could be an excellent drug target for controlling A. veronii infection of fish.

Troubled waters: Threats and extinction risk of the sharks, rays and chimaeras of the Arabian Sea and adjacent waters - Rima W. Jabado; Peter M. Kyne; Riley A. Pollom; David A. Ebert; Colin A.

The extinction risk of sharks, rays and chimaeras is higher than that for most other vertebrates due to low intrinsic population growth rates of many species and the fishing intensity they face. The Arabian Sea and adjacent waters border some of the most important chondrichthyan fishing and trading nations globally, yet there has been no previous attempt to assess the conservation status of species occurring here. Using IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Categories and Criteria and their guidelines for application at the regional level, we present the first assessment of extinction risk for 153 species of sharks, rays and chimaeras. Results indicate that this region, home to 15% of described chondrichthyans including 30 endemic species, has some of the most threatened chondrichthyan populations in the world. Seventy‐eight species (50.9%) were assessed as threatened (Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable), and 27 species (17.6%) as Near Threatened. Twenty‐nine species (19%) were Data Deficient with insufficient information to assess their status. Chondrichthyan populations have significantly declined due to largely uncontrolled and unregulated fisheries combined with habitat degradation. Further, there is limited political will and national and regional capacities to assess, manage, conserve or rebuild stocks. Outside the few deepsea locations that are lightly exploited, the prognosis for the recovery of most species is poor in the near‐absence of management. Concerted national and regional management measures are urgently needed to ensure extinctions are avoided, the sustainability of more productive species is secured, and to avoid the continued thinning of the regional food security portfolio.

Key message Novel QTL for salinity tolerance traits have been detected using non-destructive and destructive phenotyping in bread wheat and were shown to be linked to improvements in yield in saline fields. Abstract Soil salinity is a major limitation to cereal production. Breeding new salt-tolerant cultivars has the potential to improve cereal crop yields. In this study, a doubled haploid bread wheat mapping population, derived from the bi-parental cross of Excalibur × Kukri, was grown in a glasshouse under control and salinity treatments and evaluated using high-throughput non-destructive imaging technology. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of this population detected multiple QTL under salt and control treatments. Of these, six QTL were detected in the salt treatment including one for maintenance of shoot growth under salinity ( QG (1 – 5) .asl - 7A ), one for leaf Na + exclusion ( QNa.asl - 7A ) and four for leaf K + accumulation ( QK.asl - 2B.1 , QK.asl - 2B.2 , QK.asl - 5A and QK:Na.asl - 6A ). The beneficial allele for QG (1 – 5) .asl - 7A (the maintenance of shoot growth under salinity) was present in six out of 44 mainly Australian bread and durum wheat cultivars. The effect of each QTL allele on grain yield was tested in a range of salinity concentrations at three field sites across 2 years. In six out of nine field trials with different levels of salinity stress, lines with alleles for Na + exclusion and/or K + maintenance at three QTL ( QNa.asl - 7A , QK.asl - 2B.2 and QK:Na.asl - 6A ) excluded more Na + or accumulated more K + compared to lines without these alleles. Importantly, the QK.asl - 2B.2 allele for higher K + accumulation was found to be associated with higher grain yield at all field sites. Several alleles at other QTL were associated with higher grain yields at selected field sites.

To accelerate genetic gains in breeding, physiological trait (PT) characterization of candidate parents can help make more strategic crosses, increasing the probability of accumulating favorable alleles compared to crossing relatively uncharacterized lines. In this study, crosses were designed to complement “source” with “sink” traits, where at least one parent was selected for favorable expression of biomass and/or radiation use efficiency—source—and the other for sink-related traits like harvest-index, kernel weight and grains per spike. Female parents were selected from among genetic resources—including landraces and products of wide-crossing (i.e. synthetic wheat)—that had been evaluated in Mexico at high yield potential or under heat stress, while elite lines were used as males. Progeny of crosses were advanced to the F 4 generation within Mexico, and F 4 -derived F 5 and F 6 generations were yield tested to populate four international nurseries, targeted to high yield environments (2nd and 3rd WYCYT) for yield potential, and heat stressed environments (2nd and 4th SATYN) for climate resilience, respectively. Each nursery was grown as multi-location yield trials. Genetic gains were achieved in both temperate and hot environments, with most new PT-derived lines expressing superior yield and biomass compared to local checks at almost all international sites. Furthermore, the tendency across all four nurseries indicated either the superiority of the best new PT lines compared with the CIMMYT elite checks, or the superiority of all new PT lines as a group compared with all checks, and in some cases, both. Results support—in a realistic breeding context—the hypothesis that yield and radiation use efficiency can be increased by improving source:sink balance, and validate the feasibility of incorporating exotic germplasm into mainstream breeding efforts to accelerate genetic gains for yield potential and climate resilience.

Sensitivity of AGCM ‐simulated regional JJAS precipitation to different convective parameterization schemes - Muhammad Azhar Ehsan; Mansour Almazroui; Ahmed Yousef; O'Brien Enda; Michael K. Tippett; Fred Kucharski; Abdulrahman A. Alkhalaf (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
This study examines the effects of convective parameterization schemes ( CPSs ) on the simulated June–September ( JJAS ) precipitation climatology, variability and predictability over southwestern Arabian Peninsula and northeast Africa during 1981–2014 within an atmospheric global climate model framework. The three CPSs used are: the simplified Arakawa–Schubert ( SAS ) scheme; the SAS scheme with Tokioka modification ( STOK ) and the Emanuel ( EMAN ) scheme coupled with a probability distribution function‐based cloud parameterization scheme. SAS and STOK overestimate JJAS total precipitation over the selected domain compared to observations, while EMAN underestimates. EMAN provides the most realistic distribution of precipitation and spatial distribution of convective precipitation despite the tendency for underestimating the total precipitation. The principal patterns of precipitation variability (as measured by the leading empirical orthogonal functions) in EMAN and STOK are clearly related to the observed pattern, while the maximum variability in SAS occurs in a completely different location. The El Niño Southern Oscillation‐related JJAS precipitation teleconnection simulated by the SAS scheme is very weak as compared to observations and other two CPSs . The signal‐to‐noise ratio estimated by SAS and STOK is very low as compared to EMAN . Correlation analysis shows that EMAN performs better than the other two CPSs . Low (high) outgoing longwave radiation ( OLR ) values are indicative of enhanced (suppressed) convection and hence more (less) cloud coverage. The root mean square error estimated for OLR in EMAN is lower than that of the other two CPSs . The vertical structure of specific humidity and temperature shows less error in EMAN than that of the other two CPSs , which could be a reason for better predictability over the region of interest.

Changes in extreme temperature and precipitation in the Arab region: long‐term trends and variability related to ENSO and NAO - M. G. Donat; T. C. Peterson; M. Brunet; A. D. King; M. Almazroui; R. K.

A workshop was held in Casablanca, Morocco, in March 2012, to enhance knowledge of climate extremes and their changes in the Arab region. This workshop initiated intensive data compilation activities of daily observational weather station data from the Arab region. After conducting careful control processes to ensure the quality and homogeneity of the data, climate indices for extreme temperatures and precipitation were calculated. This study examines the temporal changes in climate extremes in the Arab region with regard to long‐term trends and natural variability related to ENSO and NAO . We find consistent warming trends since the middle of the 20th Century across the region. This is evident in the increased frequencies of warm days and warm nights, higher extreme temperature values, fewer cold days and cold nights and shorter cold spell durations. The warming trends seem to be particularly strong since the early 1970s. Changes in precipitation are generally less consistent and characterised by a higher spatial and temporal variability; the trends are generally less significant. However, in the western part of the Arab region, there is a tendency towards wetter conditions. In contrast, in the eastern part, there are more drying trends, although, these are of low significance. We also find some relationships between climate extremes in the Arab region and certain prominent modes of variability, in particular El Niño‐Southern Oscillation ( ENSO ) and North Atlantic Oscillation ( NAO ). The relationships of the climate extremes with NAO are stronger, in general, than those with ENSO , and are particularly strong in the western part of the Arab region (closer to the Atlantic Ocean). The relationships with ENSO are found to be more significant towards the eastern part of the area of study. © 2013 Royal Meteorological Society

Tephrochronology of the Toba tuffs: four primary glass populations define the 75‐ka Youngest Toba Tuff, northern Sumatra, Indonesia - J. A. WESTGATE; N. J. G. PEARCE; W. T. PERKINS; S. J. PREECE; C. A. CHESNER; R. F. MUHAMMAD (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2013)
Four primary glass populations, well defined by their Sr, Ba and Y concentrations, occur in the Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT), which was deposited during a supereruption of the Toba caldera complex in northern Sumatra 75 ka. Average concentrations of major and trace elements indicate a coherent, systematic variation of glass composition across populations. No clear pattern in the areal distribution of these four glass groups can be discerned. The multiple glass populations of the YTT easily distinguish it from the single homogeneous glass population of the Middle Toba Tuff (∼500 ka), as represented by its basal vitrophyre, and that of the Oldest Toba Tuff (∼800 ka), as represented by ash Layer D at the Ocean Drilling Program site 758 in the Indian Ocean.

Diet analysis is a prerequisite to fully understand the biology of a species and the functioning of ecosystems. For carnivores, traditional diet analyses mostly rely upon the morphological identification of undigested remains in the faeces. Here, we developed a methodology for carnivore diet analyses based on the next‐generation sequencing. We applied this approach to the analysis of the vertebrate component of leopard cat diet in two ecologically distinct regions in northern Pakistan. Despite being a relatively common species with a wide distribution in Asia, little is known about this elusive predator. We analysed a total of 38 leopard cat faeces. After a classical DNA extraction, the DNA extracts were amplified using primers for vertebrates targeting about 100 bp of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, with and without a blocking oligonucleotide specific to the predator sequence. The amplification products were then sequenced on a next‐generation sequencer. We identified a total of 18 prey taxa, including eight mammals, eight birds, one amphibian and one fish. In general, our results confirmed that the leopard cat has a very eclectic diet and feeds mainly on rodents and particularly on the Muridae family. The DNA‐based approach we propose here represents a valuable complement to current conventional methods. It can be applied to other carnivore species with only a slight adjustment relating to the design of the blocking oligonucleotide. It is robust and simple to implement and allows the possibility of very large‐scale analyses.
