Exogenous H2S Ameliorates High Salt-Induced Hypertension by Alleviating Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in the Paraventricular Nucleus in Dahl S Rats - Yingying Liao; Yuanyuan Fan; Qinglin He; Yuwei Li; Dongdong Wu; Enshe Jiang (Cardiovascular Toxicology, 2022)
Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is an important gaseous signaling molecule that regulates cardiovascular activity in animals. The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a major integrative region involved in blood pressure (BP) regulation. We explored whether exogenous H 2 S application by intraperitoneal injection of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) alleviates BP increase induced by a high salt diet (HSD) and the role of PVN in Dahl salt-sensitive ( Dahl S ) rats. Dahl S rats were divided into four groups according to diet regime (normal salt diet [NSD] and HSD) and treatment method (daily intraperitoneal NaHS or saline injection). We monitored BP, food and water intake, and body weight for 8 weeks. Plasma, kidney, and brain tissues were collected at the end of the experiment. We found that exogenous H 2 S not only delayed BP elevation but also attenuated the increase in the levels of norepinephrine, cystatin C, and blood urea nitrogen in the plasma of Dahl S rats with an HSD. Furthermore, H 2 S enhanced the total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase in the PVN. Exogenous H 2 S attenuated the protein expression of the nuclear factor-κB pathway and proinflammatory cytokines, which were significantly higher in the PVN in rats with an HSD than in rats with an NSD. Additionally, exogenous H 2 S relieved PVN neuronal apoptosis induced by an HSD. These findings suggest that exogenous H 2 S attenuates hypertension caused by an HSD by ameliorating oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in the PVN. This study provides evidence of the benefits of peripheral H 2 S therapy for hypertension.

Earlier Activation of Interferon and Pro-Inflammatory Response Is Beneficial to Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) against Rhabdovirus Infection - Runzhen He; Qianrong Liang; Ningyu Zhu; Xiaoye Zheng; Xiaoming Chen; Fan Zhou; Xueyan Ding (Fishes, 2022)
In order to understand the immune response of largemouth bass against Micropterus salmoides Rhabdovirus (MSRV), assisting disease resistance breeding, three largemouth bass breeding varieties Micropterus salmoides “Youlu No 3” (U3), “Youlu No 1” (U1) and “Zhelu No 1” (P1) were challenged intraperitoneally with MSRV. Serum and tissues were sampled to study the changes in non-specific immune parameters, viral loads, and transcript levels of immune-related genes, and the cumulative mortality rate was recorded daily for 14 days. The results showed that the cumulative mortality rates in the U1, P1, and U3 groups were 6.66% ± 2.89%, 3.33% ± 2.89%, and 0, respectively. The higher mortality may attribute to the increased viral loads after infection in the liver (2.79 × 105 and 2.38 × 105 vs. 1.3 × 104 copies/mg), spleen (2.14 × 105 and 9.40 × 104 vs. 4.21 × 103 copies/mg), and kidney (3.59 × 104 and 8.40 × 103 vs. 2.42 × 103 copies/mg) in the U1 and P1 groups compared to the U3 group. The serum non-specific immune parameters (lysozyme, catalase, and acid phosphatase) were found to be increased significantly in the U3 group. In addition, the transcripts of interferon-related genes (IFN-γ, IRF3, and IRF7) and pro-inflammatory-related genes (TNF-α and IL-1β) exhibited up-regulation and peaked at 6 h post infection in the U3 group, which also exhibited up-regulation but peaked at 12–24 h post infection in the U1 and P1 groups. In conclusion, these findings indicate that earlier activation of interferon and pro-inflammatory response is beneficial to largemouth bass against MSRV infection. This experiment may provide an insight into understanding the immune mechanism of largemouth bass against MSRV infection and contributes to molecular-assisted selection.

The role of microRNA-155 in glomerular endothelial cell injury induced by high glucose - Kaiying He; Zhan Chen; Jing Zhao; Yang He; Rongrong Deng; Xin Fan; Jianqin Wang; Xiaochun Zhou (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Objective To investigate the role of microRNA-155-5p on apoptosis and inflammatory response in human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGEC) cultured with high glucose. Methods The primary HRGEC were mainly studied, light microscopy was used to detect changes in cell morphology. Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction, Western Blot, immunofluorescence were aimed to observe the mRNA and protein expression levels of target gene ETS-1, downstream factors VCAM-1, MCP-1 and cleaved caspase-3 in each group after high glucose treatment as well as transfection with miR-155 mimics or inhibitor. Results The expression of inflammatory factors and apoptosis of HRGEC cells increased under high glucose treatment. Compared with normal-glucose treatment, the expression of microRNA-155 markedly increased in HRGECs treated with high-glucose, as well as the mRNA and protein levels of ETS-1, VCAM-1, MCP-1 and cleaved caspase-3. Overexpression of microRNA-155 remarkably downregulated mRNA and protein levels of ETS-1, VCAM-1, MCP-1 and cleaved caspase-3, whereas miRNA-155 knockdown upregulated their levels. In addition, HRGEC cells were transfected with miR-155 mimics and ETS-1 siRNA with high glucose stimulation. The expression of ETS-1 was positively correlated with the expression of downstream factors VCAM-1 and MCP-1. These results suggest that ETS-1 can mediate endothelial cell inflammation by regulating VCAM-1 and MCP-1. Conclusion MiR-155 can negatively regulate the expression of target gene ETS-1 and its downstream factors VCAM-1, MCP-1 and cleaved caspase-3, thus mediating the inflammatory response and apoptosis of HRGEC.

Transcriptome Analysis of Immune Responses and Metabolic Regulations of Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) against Edwardsiella tarda Infection - Qianrong Liang; Ningyu Zhu; Xiaoye Zheng; Xueyan Ding; Runzhen He; Hongsen Xu; Feifei Cao; Huili Xue; Fan Zhou; Tianlun Zheng (Fishes, 2022)
The Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) is an important aquatic species in southern China that is threatened by many serious diseases. Edwardsiella tarda is one of the highly pathogenic bacteria that cause the white abdominal shell disease. Yet, little is known about the immune and metabolic responses of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle against E. tarda infection. In the paper, gene expression profiles in the turtle liver were obtained to study the immune responses and metabolic regulations induced by E. tarda infection using RNA sequencing. A total of 3908 differentially expressed unigenes between the experimental group and the control group were obtained by transcriptome analysis, among them, were the significantly upregulated unigenes and downregulated unigenes 2065 and 1922, respectively. Further annotation and analysis revealed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in complement and coagulation cascades, phagosome, and steroid hormone biosynthesis pathways, indicating that they were mainly associated with defense mechanisms in the turtle liver against E. tarda four days post infection. For the first time, we reported on the gene profile of anti-E. tarda response in the soft-shelled turtle, and our research might provide valuable data to support further study on anti-E. tarda defense mechanisms in turtles.

Stock Assessment Using Length-Based Bayesian Evaluation Method for Three Small Pelagic Species in the Northwest Pacific Ocean - Yongchuang Shi; Xiaomin Zhang; Yuru He; Wei Fan; Fenghua Tang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Chub mackerel ( Scomber japonicus ), Pacific saury ( Cololabis saira ), and Pacific sardine ( Sardinops sagax ) are key economic and ecological species in the Northwest Pacific Ocean (NPO). In recent years, there have been some interannual changes in their catches due to the increasing number of fishing vessels and climate change. With the establishment of the North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC) to better manage these three species, it is particularly important to develop an accurate understanding of the stock status of those fisheries resources. According to the production statistics of Chub mackerel, Pacific saury, and Pacific sardine in the NPO, the length-based Bayesian evaluation (LBB) method was adopted to conduct a stock assessment on the three fisheries in this study. Research results show that the asymptotic length of Chub mackerel in the NPO L inf is 37.54 cm, with the parameter ratios of L c / L c_opt = 1.10, F / M = 0.57, B / B 0 = 0.65, and B/B MSY = 1.10. The asymptotic length of Pacific saury in the NPO L inf is 33.24 cm, with the ratios of L c / L c_opt = 1.10, F / M = 0.14, B / B 0 = 0.82, and B/B MSY = 2.10. While the asymptotic length of Pacific sardine L inf is 39.33 cm, with the ratios of L c / L c_opt = 1.20, F / M = 0.20, B / B 0 = 0.77, and B/B MSY = 2.20. At present, the three species in the NPO are in a healthy state and have not yet been overfished. Body length bin may affect the estimation of some parameters without compromising the estimation of stock status. Our study indicates that the LBB model serves as an efficient method to evaluate the fisheries resources in the NPO, especially when length frequencies are the only available data. Hopefully, the results in this study can provide technical support for the conservation and management of Chub mackerel, Pacific saury, and Pacific sardine in the NPO.

Classifications and Characteristics of Marine Heatwaves in the Northern South China Sea - Yinxia Wang; Jisheng Zeng; Zheng Wei; Shan Li; Song Tian; Fan Yang; Qidong Chen; Yinghui He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The classifications and associated characteristics of marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the northern South China Sea (SCS) have been investigated. Based on the ratio of the area with MHWs to the total area of the northern SCS, the MHWs are divided into three categories, i.e., narrow coverage, moderate coverage, and wide coverage. Different kinds of MHWs (i.e., narrow coverage, moderate coverage, and wide coverage) contribute around 64, 28, and 8% to the total days with MHWs, respectively. Narrow coverage MHW scatters over the northern SCS continental shelf, and moderate (wide) coverage MHWs are concentrated east of Hainan Island (mid of northern SCS continental shelf). Wide coverage MHWs contribute more than 50% to the total MHW cumulative sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. The cumulative days and temperature anomalies of all kinds of MHWs exhibit significant long-term trends and decadal variability.

Study of the protective effects of cosmetic ingredients on the skin barrier, based on the expression of barrier-related genes and cytokines - Wenyu Ding; Linna Fan; Yan Tian; Congfen He (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Background Sensitive skin is the result of a complex process that is closely linked to the damage of the skin barrier. There are no recognized methods for evaluating the efficacy of anti-allergy products. Methods In this study, a model of skin barrier damage was created by treating HaCaT cells with 60 μg/ml of sodium dodecyl sulfate for 48 h. The protective effects of nine cosmetic ingredients, including oat extract (S1), on the skin barrier were investigated based on the gene expression levels of aquaporin3 (AQP3), filaggrin (FLG), caspase-14 (CASP14), and human tissue kallikrein7 (KLK7), as well as those of various interleukins (IL) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Results Among the nine ingredients, S1 had a good protective effect on the function of the skin barrier. It promoted the expression of AQP3, FLG, and CASP14, while inhibiting the expression of KLK7 in HaCaT cells, at a concentration of 0.06%. It also maintained IL-6, IL-8, and VEGF at appropriate levels while promoting the proliferation and differentiation of HaCaT cells. Conclusions The above indicators allow for the preliminary establishment of a method to evaluate the efficacy of the barrier protection ability of sensitive skin.

Spatial distribution of turbulent diapycnal mixing along the Mindanao current inferred from rapid-sampling Argo floats - Ying He; Jianing Wang; Fan Wang; Toshiyuki Hibiya (Journal of Oceanography, 2022)
The Mindanao Current (MC) bridges the North Pacific low-latitude western boundary current system region and the Indonesian Seas by supplying the North Pacific waters to the Indonesian Throughflow. Although the previous study speculated that the diapycnal mixing along the MC might be strong on the basis of the water mass analysis of the gridded climatologic dataset, the real spatial distribution of diapycnal mixing along the MC has remained to be clarified. We tackle this question here by applying a finescale parameterization to temperature and salinity profiles obtained using two rapid-sampling profiling Argo floats that drifted along the MC. The western boundary (WB) region close to the Mindanao Islands and the Sangihe Strait are the two mixing hotspots along the MC, with energy dissipation rate ε and diapycnal diffusivity K ρ enhanced up to ~ 10 –6 W kg −1 and ~ 10 –3 m 2 s −1 , respectively. Except for the above two mixing hotspots, the turbulent mixing along the MC is mostly weak, with ε and K ρ to be 10 –11 –10 –9 W kg −1 and 10 –6 –10 –5 m 2 s −1 , respectively. Strong mixing in the Sangihe Strait can be basically attributed to the existence of internal tides, whereas strong mixing in the WB region suggests the existence of internal lee waves. We also find that water mass transformation along the MC mainly occurs in the Sangihe Strait where the water masses are subjected to strong turbulent mixing during a long residence time.

Tropical tall forests are more sensitive and vulnerable to drought than short forests - Liyang Liu; Xiuzhi Chen; Philippe Ciais; Wenping Yuan; Fabienne Maignan; Jin Wu; Shilong Piao; Ying‐Ping Wang; Jean‐Pierre Wigneron; Lei Fan; Pierre Gentine; Xueqin Yang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Our limited understanding of the impacts of drought on tropical forests significantly impedes our ability in accurately predicting the impacts of climate change on this biome. Here, we investigated the impact of drought on the dynamics of forest canopies with different heights using time‐series records of remotely sensed Ku‐band vegetation optical depth (Ku‐VOD), a proxy of top‐canopy foliar mass and water content, and separated the signal of Ku‐VOD changes into drought‐induced reductions and subsequent non‐drought gains. Both drought‐induced reductions and non‐drought increases in Ku‐VOD varied significantly with canopy height. Taller tropical forests experienced greater relative Ku‐VOD reductions during drought and larger non‐drought increases than shorter forests, but the net effect of drought was more negative in the taller forests. Meta‐analysis of in situ hydraulic traits supports the hypothesis that taller tropical forests are more vulnerable to drought stress due to smaller xylem‐transport safety margins. Additionally, Ku‐VOD of taller forests showed larger reductions due to increased atmospheric dryness, as assessed by vapor pressure deficit, and showed larger gains in response to enhanced water supply than shorter forests. Including the height‐dependent variation of hydraulic transport in ecosystem models will improve the simulated response of tropical forests to drought.

The impact of teleconnections on the temporal dynamics in aboveground net primary productivity of the Mongolian Plateau grasslands - Cuicui Jiao; Guirui Yu; Xiaobo Yi; Wei Zhao; Liwei Xing; Fan He; Qiyu Li; Ji Luo (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Temporal dynamics in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) are significant for environmental protection and economic development in the Mongolian Plateau grasslands (MPGs). Climate control of ANPP's temporal variations has intensified in response to local meteorological conditions, while the contributions of large‐scale atmospheric circulations to ANPP variations are poorly understood in the MPGs. First, we explored the temporal dynamics in annual ANPP, and then, we analyzed correlations among annual ANPP, local meteorological variables, and three different teleconnections during 1982–2015 in this study. Our analytical results indicated that (a) ANPP exhibited an increasing trend during the entire study period. However, the increasing trend did not persist, and two reversals occurred in 1998 and 2007. (b) ANPP variations were primarily influenced by summer precipitation in most regions and by summer precipitation and temperature together in other regions of the MPGs. (c) The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) in winter negatively dominated annual ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation and summer temperature in central Mongolia. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in winter exerted strong positive impacts on ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation in Inner Mongolia, China. The East Atlantic Western Russia (EAWR) in spring controlled annual ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation in western and eastern Mongolia. (d) The winter AMO, winter NAO and spring EAWR significantly dominated the annual ANPP variations in 49.78% of the MPGs, with values of 18.90, 9.81 and 21.07%, respectively. (e) Reversals of the winter AMO, winter NAO and spring EAWR between negative and positive phases resulted in two reversals of ANPP trends. This study will improve our understanding of the role of large‐scale atmospheric circulations in regulating ANPP variations and will be valuable in guiding the development of grazing land management in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China.

Melatonin Improves Drought Resistance in Maize Seedlings by Enhancing the Antioxidant System and Regulating Abscisic Acid Metabolism to Maintain Stomatal Opening Under PEG-Induced Drought - Zhuo Li; Xiaoyu Su; Yulu Chen; Xiaocong Fan; Lingzhi He; Jiameng Guo; Yongchao Wang; Qinghua Yang (Journal of Plant Biology, 2021)
Maize ( Zea mays L.) is highly sensitive to drought stress, resulting in large losses in yield; therefore, strategies aimed at enhancing drought tolerance are essential. Melatonin improves stress tolerance in plants; however, its mechanism in maize seedlings under drought stress remains unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effects of foliar-sprayed melatonin (100 umol L −1 ) on the antioxidant system, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters, stomatal behavior, endogenous melatonin and abscisic acid (ABA)-related gene expression in maize seedling leaves under 20% polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress. PEG treatment resulted in oxidative stress and stomatal closure, resulting in chlorophyll degradation and inhibition of photosynthesis; thereby, reducing seedling biomass. Melatonin pretreatment significantly improved the relative water content, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters and stomatal behavior; thereby, maintaining chlorophyll contents and photosynthesis. Melatonin also stimulated the antioxidant system, enhancing the clearance of reactive-oxygen species, preventing severe damage under PEG-induced drought. Pre-treatment also increased endogenous melatonin and inhibited up-regulation of NCED1 , an ABA synthesis-related gene, as well as selectively up-regulating ABA catabolic genes ABA8ox1 and ABA8ox3 , reducing ABA accumulation and inducing stomatal reopening. Overall, these findings suggest that melatonin pre-treatment alleviated the inhibitory effects of drought stress on photosynthesis, enhancing tolerance in maize seedlings.

Model optimization and parameter sensitivity analysis of a parabolic composite section open channel * - Gang Li; Wuquan He; Yubao Wang; Liwei Lan; Aiping Fan (Irrigation and Drainage, 2021)
In channel optimization, the objective function and the oft‐used trapezoidal cross‐section channel in excavation models are not comprehensive. The parabolic composite section channel is a new type of channel with a parabolic slope and a horizontal bottom. To improve channel optimization, we propose models of a parabolic composite section channel constructed with excavation, filling, and half‐filling. We establish three parabolic composite cross‐section channel models that consider freeboard, and we establish three construction methods. The objective is to minimize the combined cost of excavation, filling, and concrete lining, and the objective function covers all construction methods and construction costs. To avoid missing the feasible optimal solution, the shuffled frog‐leaping algorithm (SFLA) is used to optimize the three channel models. An objective function within the acceptable range of parameter variation is represented by a MATLAB 3D rainbow graph, and sensitivity analyses of various section parameters are carried out. The results show that the model constructed with excavation has the lowest investment cost. The bottom width of the parabolic composite channel is 1.74 m, the channel top width is 5.69 m, the channel depth is 3.22 m, the channel excavation section area is 14.1 m 2 , the channel section lining length is 9.62 m, and the minimum cost per kilometre is 591,000 yuan. SFLA is superior to the differential evolution, artificial bee colony, and particle swarm optimization algorithms in terms of convergence speed and optimization accuracy, and the objective function is the least sensitive to the opening width of the parabola.

Rapid and highly efficient genomic engineering with a novel iEditing device for programming versatile extracellular electron transfer of electroactive bacteria - Yang‐Yang Fan; Qiang Tang; Yang Li; Feng‐He Li; Jing‐Hang Wu; Wen‐Wei Li; Han‐Qing Yu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary The advances in synthetic biology bring exciting new opportunities to reprogram microorganisms with novel functionalities for environmental applications. For real‐world applications, a genetic tool that enables genetic engineering in a stably genomic inherited manner is greatly desired. In this work, we design a novel genetic device for rapid and efficient genome engineering based on the i ntron‐encoded homing‐endonuclease empowered genome editing (iEditing). The iEditing device enables rapid and efficient genome engineering in Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1, the representative strain of the electroactive bacteria group. Moreover, combining with the Red or RecET recombination system, the genome‐editing efficiency was greatly improved, up to approximately 100%. Significantly, the iEditing device itself is eliminated simultaneously when genome editing occurs, thereby requiring no follow‐up to remove the encoding system. Then, we develop a new extracellular electron transfer (EET) engineering strategy by programming the parallel EET systems to enhance versatile EET. The engineered strains exhibit sufficiently enhanced electron output and pollutant reduction ability. Furthermore, this device has demonstrated its great potential to be extended for genome editing in other important microbes. This work provides a useful and efficient tool for the rapid generation of synthetic microorganisms for various environmental applications.

Virtual screening of potentially endocrine-disrupting chemicals against nuclear receptors and its application to identify PPARγ-bound fatty acids - Chaitanya K. Jaladanki; Yang He; Li Na Zhao; Sebastian Maurer-Stroh; Lit-Hsin Loo; Haiwei Song; Hao Fan (Archives of Toxicology, 2021)
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are key regulators of energy homeostasis, body development, and sexual reproduction. Xenobiotics binding to NRs may disrupt natural hormonal systems and induce undesired adverse effects in the body. However, many chemicals of concerns have limited or no experimental data on their potential or lack-of-potential endocrine-disrupting effects. Here, we propose a virtual screening method based on molecular docking for predicting potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that bind to NRs. For 12 NRs, we systematically analyzed how multiple crystal structures can be used to distinguish actives and inactives found in previous high-throughput experiments. Our method is based on (i) consensus docking scores from multiple structures at a single functional state (agonist-bound or antagonist-bound), (ii) multiple functional states (agonist-bound and antagonist-bound), and (iii) multiple pockets (orthosteric site and alternative sites) of these NRs. We found that the consensus enrichment from multiple structures is better than or comparable to the best enrichment from a single structure. The discriminating power of this consensus strategy was further enhanced by a chemical similarity-weighted scoring scheme, yielding better or comparable enrichment for all studied NRs. Applying this optimized method, we screened 252 fatty acids against peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and successfully identified 3 previously unknown fatty acids with Kd = 100–250 μM including two furan fatty acids: furannonanoic acid (FNA) and furanundecanoic acid (FUA), and one cyclopropane fatty acid: phytomonic acid (PTA). These results suggested that the proposed method can be used to rapidly screen and prioritize potential EDCs for further experimental evaluations.

Fine-Grained Topography and Modularity of the Macaque Frontal Pole Cortex Revealed by Anatomical Connectivity Profiles - Bin He; Long Cao; Xiaoluan Xia; Baogui Zhang; Dan Zhang; Bo You; Lingzhong Fan; Tianzi Jiang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2020)
The frontal pole cortex (FPC) plays key roles in various higher-order functions and is highly developed in non-human primates. An essential missing piece of information is the detailed anatomical connections for finer parcellation of the macaque FPC than provided by the previous tracer results. This is important for understanding the functional architecture of the cerebral cortex. Here, combining cross-validation and principal component analysis, we formed a tractography-based parcellation scheme that applied a machine learning algorithm to divide the macaque FPC (2 males and 6 females) into eight subareas using high-resolution diffusion magnetic resonance imaging with the 9.4T Bruker system, and then revealed their subregional connections. Furthermore, we applied improved hierarchical clustering to the obtained parcels to probe the modular structure of the subregions, and found that the dorsolateral FPC, which contains an extension to the medial FPC, was mainly connected to regions of the default-mode network. The ventral FPC was mainly involved in the social-interaction network and the dorsal FPC in the metacognitive network. These results enhance our understanding of the anatomy and circuitry of the macaque brain, and contribute to FPC-related clinical research.

Evaluation of crustal inhomogeneity parameters in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and adjacent regions - Xiao-Ping Fan; Yi-Cheng He; Cong-Jie Yang; Jun-Fei Wang (Journal of Seismology, 2020)
Broadband teleseismic waveform data from 13 earthquakes recorded by 70 digital seismic stations were selected to evaluate the inhomogeneity parameters of the crustal medium in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and its adjacent regions using the teleseismic fluctuation wavefield method. Results show that a strong inhomogeneity exists beneath the study region, which can be divided into three blocks according to its structure and tectonic deformation features. These are known as the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block. The velocity fluctuation ratios of the three blocks are approximately 5.1%, 3.6%, and 5.1% in the upper crust and 5.1%, 3.8%, and 4.9% in the lower crust. The inhomogeneity correlation lengths of the three blocks are about 10.1 km, 14.0 km, and 10.7 km in the upper crust and 11.8 km, 17.0 km, and 11.8 km in the lower crust. The differences in the crustal medium inhomogeneity beneath the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block may be related to intensive tectonic movement and material flow in the crust and upper mantle.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access - Jens Kattge; Gerhard Bönisch; Sandra Díaz; Sandra Lavorel; Iain Colin Prentice; Paul Leadley; Susanne Tautenhahn; Gijsbert D. A. Werner; Tuomas Aakala; Mehdi Abedi; Alicia T. R. Acosta; George C. Adamidis; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits—almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

Integrating precipitation zoning with random forest regression for the spatial downscaling of satellite‐based precipitation: A case study of the Lancang–Mekong River basin - Jing Zhang; Hui Fan; Daming He; Jiwei Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Downscaling satellite‐based precipitation to fine scales is crucial for deepening our understanding of global hydrologic cycles and water‐related issues. In this study, a novel approach that integrates precipitation zoning with random forest regression is proposed for the spatial downscaling of satellite‐based precipitation. Precipitation zoning is delineated through iterative rotated empirical orthogonal function (REOF) analyses of ground‐ and satellite‐based precipitation observations. Random forest regression is applied to link the satellite‐based precipitation to 1‐km‐resolution predictors such as latitude (Lat), longitude (Lon), elevation, aspect, slope, and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The accuracy of the resultant downscaled precipitation is evaluated based on five statistical evaluation indices. The performance of the proposed approach is exemplified in the Lancang–Mekong River basin, taking Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B43 and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks–Climate Data Record (PERSIANN–CDR) products acquired in 2001 (wet year), 2005 (normal year), and 2009 (dry year) as the databases. The results show that seven precipitation subregions can be roughly distinguished in the study basin. Zoning‐based downscaling outperforms non‐zoning‐based downscaling in terms of accuracy, resulting in statistically significant reductions in root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) of 1–17% across the entire basin. Among the selected predictors, the variables Lat and Lon are the most important for precipitation estimation, whereas the remaining variables have lesser and subregion‐dependent importance. The proposed approach is promising for generating high‐spatial‐resolution precipitation data in regions with sparse ground‐based observations and differentiated climatic regimes.

Big‐sized trees overrule remaining trees' attributes and species richness as determinants of aboveground biomass in tropical forests - Arshad Ali; Si‐Liang Lin; Jie‐Kun He; Fan‐Mao Kong; Jie‐Hua Yu; Hai‐Sheng Jiang (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Large‐diameter, tall‐stature, and big‐crown trees are the main stand structures of forests, generally contributing a large fraction of aboveground biomass, and hence play an important role in climate change mitigation strategies. Here, we hypothesized that the effects of large‐diameter, tall‐stature, and big‐crown trees overrule the effects of species richness and remaining trees attributes on aboveground biomass in tropical forests (i.e., we term the “big‐sized trees hypothesis”). Specifically, we assessed the importance of: (a) the “top 1% big‐sized trees effect” relative to species richness; (b) the “99% remaining trees effect” relative to species richness; and (c) the “top 1% big‐sized trees effect” relative to the “99% remaining trees effect” and species richness on aboveground biomass. Using environmental factor and forest inventory datasets from 712 tropical forest plots in Hainan Island of southern China, we tested several structural equation models for disentangling the relative effects of big‐sized trees, remaining trees attributes, and species richness on aboveground biomass, while considering for the full (indirect effects only) and partial (direct and indirect effects) mediation effects of climatic and soil conditions, as well as interactions between species richness and trees attributes. We found that top 1% big‐sized trees attributes strongly increased aboveground biomass (i.e., explained 55%–70% of the accounted variation) compared to species richness (2%–18%) and 99% remaining trees attributes (6%–10%). In addition, species richness increased aboveground biomass indirectly via increasing big‐sized trees but via decreasing remaining trees. Hence, we show that the “big‐sized trees effect” overrides the effects of remaining trees attributes and species richness on aboveground biomass in tropical forests. This study also indicates that big‐sized trees may be more susceptible to atmospheric drought. We argue that the effects of big‐sized trees on species richness and aboveground biomass should be tested for better understanding of the ecological mechanisms underlying forest functioning.

Study on the Softening Mechanism and Control of Red-Bed Soft Rock under Seawater Conditions - Zhen Liu; Xinfu He; Jin Fan; Cuiying Zhou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
Red-bed soft rock easily softens and disintegrates when it comes into contact with water, which is the main factor restricting the application of soft rock as an engineering filler. Therefore, research on the influence of seawater on soft rock softening has great significance for the application of soft rock in marine engineering. To examine the softening mechanism of soft rock under seawater conditions, two kinds of soft rock softening experiments, as well as ion inhibition tests of soft rock softening, were performed under seawater and pure water conditions, and the results were compared. The variation in the soft rock composition, the deformation and failure characteristics of soft rock under the influence of sea water, and the variation in main cations in the softening process of soft rock are examined successively; the influences of different ions on soft rock softening are further analysed. Based on the analyses, the softening mechanism and control method of soft rock under sea water conditions are expounded. The study showed that soft rock softening was inhibited by seawater, which decreased the softening degree of soft rock. The main cations in seawater had an inhibitory effect on soft rock softening, and the order of inhibition was Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Na+. According to the inhibitory effect of ions on soft rock softening, we propose that seawater or calcium salt should be added to reduce the softening of soft rock in soft rock engineering and improve the mechanical strength of soft rock; in addition, soft rock can be considered a raw material in marine engineering. The experimental results have great significance for studies of the disintegration mechanism and inhibitory rules of soft rock under the influence of seawater and provide a theoretical basis for the application of soft rock in marine engineering, such as in artificial reef engineering and coastal dike engineering.

Underestimated ecosystem carbon turnover time and sequestration under the steady state assumption: A perspective from long‐term data assimilation - Rong Ge; Honglin He; Xiaoli Ren; Li Zhang; Guirui Yu; T. Luke Smallman; Tao Zhou; Shi‐Yong Yu; Yiqi Luo; Zongqiang Xie; Silong Wang; Huimin Wang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
It is critical to accurately estimate carbon (C) turnover time as it dominates the uncertainty in ecosystem C sinks and their response to future climate change. In the absence of direct observations of ecosystem C losses, C turnover times are commonly estimated under the steady state assumption ( SSA ), which has been applied across a large range of temporal and spatial scales including many at which the validity of the assumption is likely to be violated. However, the errors associated with improperly applying SSA to estimate C turnover time and its covariance with climate as well as ecosystem C sequestrations have yet to be fully quantified. Here, we developed a novel model‐data fusion framework and systematically analyzed the SSA ‐induced biases using time‐series data collected from 10 permanent forest plots in the eastern China monsoon region. The results showed that (a) the SSA significantly underestimated mean turnover times ( MTT s) by 29%, thereby leading to a 4.83‐fold underestimation of the net ecosystem productivity ( NEP ) in these forest ecosystems, a major C sink globally; (b) the SSA ‐induced bias in MTT and NEP correlates negatively with forest age, which provides a significant caveat for applying the SSA to young‐aged ecosystems; and (c) the sensitivity of MTT to temperature and precipitation was 22% and 42% lower, respectively, under the SSA . Thus, under the expected climate change, spatiotemporal changes in MTT are likely to be underestimated, thereby resulting in large errors in the variability of predicted global NEP . With the development of observation technology and the accumulation of spatiotemporal data, we suggest estimating MTT s at the disequilibrium state via long‐term data assimilation, thereby effectively reducing the uncertainty in ecosystem C sequestration estimations and providing a better understanding of regional or global C cycle dynamics and C‐climate feedback.
