A critical thermal transition driving spring phenology of Northern Hemisphere conifers - Jian‐Guo Huang; Yaling Zhang; Minhuang Wang; Xiaohan Yu; Annie Deslauriers; Patrick Fonti; Eryuan Liang; Harri Mäkinen; Walter Oberhuber; Cyrille B. K. Rathgeber; Roberto Tognetti; Václav Treml; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Despite growing interest in predicting plant phenological shifts, advanced spring phenology by global climate change remains debated. Evidence documenting either small or large advancement of spring phenology to rising temperature over the spatio‐temporal scales implies a potential existence of a thermal threshold in the responses of forests to global warming. We collected a unique data set of xylem cell‐wall‐thickening onset dates in 20 coniferous species covering a broad mean annual temperature (MAT) gradient (−3.05 to 22.9°C) across the Northern Hemisphere (latitudes 23°–66° N). Along the MAT gradient, we identified a threshold temperature (using segmented regression) of 4.9 ± 1.1°C, above which the response of xylem phenology to rising temperatures significantly decline. This threshold separates the Northern Hemisphere conifers into cold and warm thermal niches, with MAT and spring forcing being the primary drivers for the onset dates (estimated by linear and Bayesian mixed‐effect models), respectively. The identified thermal threshold should be integrated into the Earth‐System‐Models for a better understanding of spring phenology in response to global warming and an improved prediction of global climate‐carbon feedbacks.

Susceptibility of kuruma shrimp to the infection with Decapod iridescent virus 1 - Liang Qiu; Xiao-Meng Guo; Yong-Hui Feng; Jing-Yi Xing; Xian-Yun Ren; Jie Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Infection with Decapod iridescent virus 1 (iDIV1), an important emerging disease of shrimps and crabs, has been included in the Quarterly Aquatic Animal Disease Report (QAAD) by the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA) and listed by the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). China has classified iDIV1 as a Class II animal pandemic disease. In the present study, to determine the susceptibility of Penaeus japonicus to Decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1), healthy kuruma shrimp were artificially infected with DIV1 (isolate SHIV 20141215) by per os (the pathway that mimics natural transmission) and intramuscular injection (invasive pathway). The infected P. japonicus showed clinical signs such as anorexia, retardation, evident reddish body, swollen and whitish lymphoid organs, and mortalities of almost 100%. Real-time PCR showed that all the challenged individuals by per os or intramuscular routes were DIV1-positive with an average virus load between 10 (9.09 ± 0.58) and 10 (8.94 ± 0.45) copies/μg-DNA, respectively. Histological examination revealed karyopyknosis, and eosinophilic inclusions and minute basophilic stains were combined in lymphoid organs, hematopoietic tissue and gills of diseased individuals. In addition, lymphoid organs showed disorganization of the tubule matrix. In situ DIG-labeling loop-mediated isothermal amplification (ISDL) also demonstrated the presence of DIV1 signals existed in lymphoid organs, hemopoietic tissue, gills, epithelial tissue, hepatopancreas and muscle. Ultrathin sections examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the presence of DIV1 virions, the virogenic stroma, and the nucleocapsid production process in infected cells. In addition, pathogen surveillance of cultured samples showed that the DIV1 detection rate of farmed P. japonicus samples from five coastal provinces in China was 5.3% (9/157) in 2022. The results mentioned above support that P. japonicus is a newly confirmed susceptible host for DIV1, enhancing the pathogen ecological understanding of pathogens and giving more support for developing DIV1 preventive and control strategies.

(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Vibrio is a kind of common gram-negative bacteria, which is widely distributed in marine and estuarine environments. In the study, a novel marine phage vB_VhaP_PG11, infecting Vibrio hangzhouensis , was isolated from the offshore waters of Qingdao, China. vB_VhaP_PG11 is a double-stranded DNA phage. The whole genome proteomic tree shows that vB_VhaP_PG11 phage is related to two Vibrio phages, Vibrio phage 1.238.A._10N.261.52.F10 and Vibrio phage 1.245.O._10N.261.54.C7, but with low homology. Their amino acids identity with vB_VhaP_PG11 is 42.77 and 41.49% respectively. The prediction results of genome-blast distance phylogeny (GBDP) and the analysis gene-sharing network indicate that vB_VhaP_PG11 belongs to a new genus in Schitoviridae , named Qingschitovirus . The study of Vibrio phage vB_VhaP_PG11 provides basic information contributing to a better understanding of interactions between Vibrio phages and their hosts and helps analyze unknown viral sequences in the metagenomic database.

Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 Is Necessary for Embryonic Development in Medaka Oryzias latipes - Xiaoting Liang; Shi Duan; Qing Yang; Xiaoqin Ma; Zhenyu Li; Qiting Yao; Kongyue Wu; Pei Chang; Gongqing Feng; Wentao Hong; Mengxi Cao; Qingchun Zhou; et al. (Fishes, 2022)
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5), conserved from yeast to humans, catalyzes arginine’s dimethylation in proteins. Prmt5 is necessary for embryonic development in mice because it maintains embryonic stem cells. However, the embryos of zebrafish (Danio rerio) remain viable with a deficiency in germ cells and sexual development after the knockout of prmt5. Therefore, it was considered whether prmt5 is dispensable during embryogenesis in fish. Medaka (Oryzias latipes), another model fish organism, was used in this experiment. The medaka prmt5 was mutated with Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALEN) causing the premature stopping of transcription. None of the homozygous prmt5 mutant fish were viable, only the heterozygous offspring survived. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) results showed a significant decrease in octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (oct4), homeobox transcription factor nanog (nanog), vasa, B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (bcl2), and the ratio of bcl2 to bax (bcl2 associated x), and a significant increase in caspase3 and caspase8 in the embryos of the heterozygous prmt5 mutant compared with that of the wild type. The results showed that the mutation of prmt5 caused down-regulation of the genes functioning in stemness and up-regulation of the genes in the cascade of cell death. These results suggested that prmt5 is necessary for embryogenesis via maintaining stemness and repressing apoptosis in medaka.

Seasonal variability of eddy kinetic energy in the East Australian current region - Jia Liu; Shaojun Zheng; Ming Feng; Lingling Xie; Baoxin Feng; Peng Liang; Lei Wang; Lina Yang; Li Yan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The East Australian Current (EAC) is an important western boundary current of the South Pacific subtropical Circulation with high mesoscale eddy kinetic energy (EKE). Based on satellite altimeter observations and outputs from the eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model (OGCM) for the Earth Simulator (OFES), the seasonal variability of EKE and its associated dynamic mechanism in the EAC region are studied. High EKE is mainly concentrated in the shear-region between the poleward EAC southern extension and the equatorward EAC recirculation along Australia's east coast, which is confined within the upper ocean (0-300 m). EKE in this area exhibits obvious seasonal variation, strong in austral summer with maximum (465±89 cm² s-²) in February and weak in winter with minimum (334±48 cm² s-²) in August. Energetics analysis from OFES suggests that the seasonal variability of EKE is modulated by the mixed instabilities composed of barotropic and baroclinic instabilities confined within the upper ocean, and barotropic instability (baroclinic instability) is the main energy source of EKE in austral summer (winter). The barotropic process is mainly controlled by the zonal shear of meridional velocities of the EAC southern extension and the EAC recirculation. The poleward EAC southern extension and the equatorward EAC recirculation are synchronously strengthened (weakened) due to the local positive (negative) sea level anomalies (SLA) under geostrophic equilibrium, and the barotropic instability dominated by zonal shear is enhanced (slackened), which results in a high (low) level of EKE in the EAC region.

Introduction As a pigment protein, phycocyanin has been widely used in the fields of food, nutraceutical and biotechnology due to its excellent biological activities of antioxidant. So far, Arthrospira has been generally considered as a great species for phycocyanin production. Methods In this study, independent and interactive effect of three factors, NaCl, Bainengsi (BS) and Bainengtai (BT) on microalgae growth and phycocyanin production were explored by response surface methodology (RSM). Using Box-Behnken design (BBD) method, the well-fitting quadratic models were established based on experimental results. Results Moreover, the maximum phycocyanin concentration reached 704.66 mg L -1 at the optimal condition (185 mM NaCl, 200 mg L -1 BS, and 20 mg L -1 BT), while the maximum phycocyanin content of 19.03% was obtained at another optimal condition (136 mM NaCl, 200 mg L -1 BS, and 50 mg L -1 BT). Compared to control, the concentration and content of phycocyanin were increased by 22.98% and 16.73%, respectively. Discussion Overall, this study demonstrated that addition of exogenous substances (BS, BT) into culture medium optimized by RSM was an effective approach to increase phycocyanin production, which paved a potential way to realizing high efficient production of algal biomass and bioactive substances.

PITPNC1 promotes the thermogenesis of brown adipose tissue under acute cold exposure - Guoqing Tang; Chengxin Ma; Liangkui Li; Shaoyan Zhang; Fengsheng Li; Jin Wu; Yesheng Yin; Qing Zhu; Yan Liang; Ru Wang; He Huang; Tong-Jin Zhao; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an essential role in non-shivering thermogenesis. The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PITPNC1) is identified as a lipid transporter that reciprocally transfers phospholipids between intracellular membrane structures. However, the physiological significance of PITPNC1 and its regulatory mechanism remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PITPNC1 is a key player in thermogenesis of BAT. While Pitpnc1 −/− mice do not differ with wildtype mice in body weight and insulin sensitivity on either chow or high-fat diet, they develop hypothermia when subjected to acute cold exposure at 4°C. The Pitpnc1 −/− brown adipocytes exhibit defective β-oxidation and abnormal thermogenesis-related metabolism pathways in mitochondria. The deficiency of lipid mobilization in Pitpnc1 −/− brown adipocytes might be the result of excessive accumulation of phosphatidylcholine and a reduction of phosphatidic acid. Our findings have uncovered significant roles of PITPNC1 in mitochondrial phospholipid homeostasis and BAT thermogenesis.

Establishment of a cell line derived from the gills of Gymnocypris przewalskii , an endemic Schizothoracine fish from Qinghai Lake of Tibet Plateau - Fulei Wei; Jian Liang; Miao Yue; Wengen Tian; Luxian Yu; Zhaohui Feng; Qiang Hua (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
Gymnocypris przewalskii (Naked carp), a native teleost, plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of Lake Qinghai (altitude, 3.2 km), the largest saline lake in China. In this study, a new gill cell line from G. przewalskii was developed using the explant technique and named as GPG. This cell line was maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (high glucose), supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and was successfully subcultured up to 32 passages. Meanwhile, this cell line was also authenticated by sequencing the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I ( COI ) and 16S rRNA genes and by chromosome analysis. With the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, the GPG cell line could express green fluorescent protein (GFP) at about 5% transfection efficiency. MTT test showed that Clostridium botulinum toxin (BTX) was toxic to the cell line. After cryopreservation with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), this cell line could be successfully revived at an efficiency over 70%. This study revealed that the GPG cell line could be used as materials for physio‐chemical investigation of G. przewalskii and also provided a tool for gene function study and toxicological reaction in vitro .

Responses of soil greenhouse gas emissions to land use conversion and reversion—A global meta‐analysis - Zhaohui Feng; Lingqing Wang; Xiaoming Wan; Jun Yang; Qin Peng; Tao Liang; Yazhu Wang; Buqing Zhong; Jörg Rinklebe (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Exploring the responses of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to land use conversion or reversion is significant for taking effective land use measures to alleviate global warming. A global meta‐analysis was conducted to analyze the responses of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions to land use conversion or reversion, and determine their temporal evolution, driving factors, and potential mechanisms. Our results showed that CH 4 and N 2 O responded positively to land use conversion while CO 2 responded negatively to the changes from natural herb and secondary forest to plantation. By comparison, CH 4 responded negatively to land use reversion and N 2 O also showed negative response to the reversion from agricultural land to forest. The conversion of land use weakened the function of natural forest and grassland as CH 4 sink and the artificial nitrogen (N) addition for plantation increased N source for N 2 O release from soil, while the reversion of land use could alleviate them to some degree. Besides, soil carbon would impact CO 2 emission for a long time after land use conversion, and secondary forest reached the CH 4 uptake level similar to that of primary forest after over 40 years. N 2 O responses had negative relationships with time interval under the conversions from forest to plantation, secondary forest, and pasture. In addition, meta‐regression indicated that CH 4 had correlations with several environmental variables, and carbon–nitrogen ratio had contrary relationships with N 2 O emission responses to land use conversion and reversion. And the importance of driving factors displayed that CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O response to land use conversion and reversion was easily affected by NH 4 + and soil moisture, mean annual temperature and NO 3 − , total nitrogen and mean annual temperature, respectively. This study would provide enlightenments for scientific land management and reduction of GHG emissions.

Effect of long-term manganese exposure on oxidative stress, liver damage and apoptosis in grouper Epinephelus moara ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂ - Xi Wang; Bao-Liang Liu; Xiao-Qiang Gao; Ying-Ying Fang; Xian-Hong Zhang; Shu-Quan Cao; Kui-Feng Zhao; Feng Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Manganese is an indispensable trace element, however, it may be present at high concentrations in water and sediments of aquatic ecosystems due to natural and anthropogenic activities, and can interfere with physiological and biochemical mechanisms in fish. This study was conducted to determine the toxic effects associated with exposure to Mn 2+ (0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 mg/L) for 30 d, regarding liver damage and apoptosis in Yunlong grouper ( Epinephelus moara♀×E. lanceolatus♂ ). Expression of superoxide dismutase ( sod ) and catalase ( cat ) genes in the liver was significantly increased on days 10 and 20 following Mn 2+ exposure (4 mg/L), but was reduced on day 30. Similarly, expression of glutathione peroxidase ( gpx ) and glutathione reductase ( gr ) genes was elevated after 10 d of exposure to 2 and 4 mg/L Mn 2+ , but decreased after 20 and 30 d. After 30 d of exposure to high concentrations (2 and 4 mg/L) of Mn 2+ , liver tissue showed hepatic sinusoidal gap congestion, dilatation, cell vacuolation, and necrosis. In addition, the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) as well as 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels were significantly increased after Mn 2+ exposure. Moreover, Mn 2+ exposure altered the expression pattern of some pivotal genes associated to apoptosis ( p53 , bax , bcl-2 , apaf-1 , caspase-9 , and caspase-3 ), which suggested that Mn 2+ exposure induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. The above results showed that excessive Mn 2+ induced apoptosis and liver damage in grouper through elicitation of oxidative stress. These insights help elucidate the mechanism by which Mn 2+ induces toxicity in marine fish, and provide a new perspective regarding the detrimental effects of heavy metals in fish.

Comparing a Bayesian Approach (BEST) with the Two One-Sided t-Tests (TOSTs) for Bioequivalence Studies - Carl Peck; Gregory Campbell; Isaac Yoo; Kairui Feng; Meng Hu; Liang Zhao (The AAPS Journal, 2022)
The two one-sided t -tests (TOST) procedure has been used to evaluate average bioequivalence (BE). As a regulatory standard, it is crucial that TOST distinguish BE from not-BE (NBE) when BE data are not lognormal. TOST was compared with a Bayesian procedure (BEST by Kruschke) in simulated datasets of test/reference ratios (T/R) which were BE and NBE, wherein (1) log(T/R) or T-R were normally distributed, (2) sample sizes ranged 10–50, and (3) extreme log(T/R) or T-R values were randomly included in datasets. The 90% “credible interval” (CrI) from BEST is a Bayesian alternative of the 90% confidence interval (CI) of TOST and it can be derived from a posterior distribution that is more reflective of the observed mean log(T/R) distribution that often deviates from normality. In the absence of extreme T/R values, both methods agreed BE when observed T/R were lognormal. BEST more accurately concluded BE or NBE, while requiring fewer subjects, when observed log(T/R) or T-R were normal in the presence of extreme values. Overall, TOST and BEST perform comparably on lognormal T/R, while BEST is more accurate, requiring fewer subjects when datasets are normal for T-R or contain extreme values. Of note, the normally distributed datasets only rarely contain extreme values. Our results imply that when BEST and TOST yield different BE assessment results from bioequivalent products, TOST may disadvantage applicants when T/R are not lognormal and/or include extreme T/R values. Application of BEST can address the situation when T/R are not lognormal or include extreme data values. Application of BEST to BE data can be considered a useful alternative to TOST for evaluation of BE and for efficient development of BE formulations.

Archives of short-term fluid flow dynamics and possible influence of human activities at methane seeps: Evidence from high-resolution element geochemistry of chemosynthetic bivalve shells - Xudong Wang; Danling Fan; Steffen Kiel; Shanggui Gong; Qiangyong Liang; Jun Tao; Duofu Chen; Dong Feng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The natural dynamics of fluid flow at methane seeps and increasingly human activities influence the biogeochemistry of the microenvironment and further determine the activity of the chemosynthetic communities within these ecosystems. However, ways to reconstruct short-term fluid flow dynamics and to decipher the influence of scientific exploration at seeps are limited. In this study, we present high-resolution trace elements/Ca ratios (Li/Ca, Mg/Ca, Ti/Ca, Mn/Ca, Co/Ca, Cu/Ca, Zn/Ca, Sr/Ca, Zr/Ca, Mo/Ca, Ba/Ca, Th/Ca and U/Ca ratios) from the shells of two species of chemosymbiotic bivalves (the thiotrophic vesicomyid clam Archivesica marissinica and the methanotrophic mussel Gigantidas haimaensis ) from the Haima cold seeps of the South China Sea. We found that the complex distribution patterns of some trace elements (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, Mo/Ca and U/Ca ratios) in G. haimaensis are largely controlled by mineral composition or age. The observation of Co/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios in both species indicate strong physiological and environmental control on the incorporation of trace elements during the biomineralization process. Besides, the distribution patterns of other trace elements provide information that can be used to discuss open issues such as the loss of trace elements after death of the bivalves, and the possible influence of human activities such as sediment disturbance. Overall, this study emphasizes the potential for using high-resolution element geochemistry of seep bivalve shells to reveal the physiological and environmental factors that control the growth of bivalves, and to elucidate the potential history of fluid discharge at cold seeps.

New insights into the archives of redox conditions in seep carbonates from the northern South China Sea - Qianyong Liang; Huiwen Huang; Yuedong Sun; Shanggui Gong; Xudong Wang; Xi Xiao; Yifei Dong; Junxi Feng; Dong Feng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Modern cold seeps are of fluctuant flux, which could result in variabilities of geochemical archives through intensively influencing the redox condition in pore fluids. However, the geochemical archives are not fully understood when the redox condition changes. Here, tubular carbonates from the Shenhu Sea Area were used to reconstruct the formation environment and redox conditions. The moderately negative δ 13 C values of the carbonates (−40.1‰ to −30.8‰, VPDB) indicate a mixed carbon source of thermogenic and biogenic methane. The low δ 18 O values (−2.7‰ to 1.0‰, VPDB) suggest a type of 18 O-depleted pore fluid possibly influenced by gas hydrate formation. Co-variation of Mo EF , W EF , Co EF , and Cr EF suggests that high Fe contents in the rims of samples R1 and R2 are induced by Fe (oxyhydr)oxidation enrichment, while the positive correlation between Mo EF and Mn/Al ratio indicates that high Mn contents in the rims of samples R3 and R4 are induced by Mn (oxyhydr)oxidation enrichment. The occurrence of Fe or Mn enrichment in the rims and the absence of Fe/Mn enrichment in the cores suggest Fe/Mn (oxyhydr)oxides forming in pore fluid rather than in bottom seawater. The carbonate phases of the rims enriched in Fe (oxyhydr)oxides are dominated by high magnesium calcite, while those of the rims enriched in Mn (oxyhydr)oxides are dominated by aragonite. The occurrence of Fe or Mn (oxyhydr)oxides corresponds to the previously proposed formation depth for the carbonate phase. The occurrence of dissolution textures in these rims indicates episodic oxic conditions, which would facilitate Fe 2+ /Mn 2+ oxidation. We suppose that the Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ could be supplied through fluid seepage or diffusion from underlying sediments when the flux decreased. Similar archives may be applied to qualitatively reflect the changes of redox conditions in seep systems. Similar scenarios may help us understand the geochemical records in seeps of fluctuant flux.

Decadal Methane Emission Trend Inferred from Proxy GOSAT XCH4 Retrievals: Impacts of Transport Model Spatial Resolution - Sihong Zhu; Liang Feng; Yi Liu; Jing Wang; Dongxu Yang (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
In recent studies, proxy XCH 4 retrievals from the Japanese Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) have been used to constrain top-down estimation of CH 4 emissions. Still, the resulting interannual variations often show significant discrepancies over some of the most important CH 4 source regions, such as China and Tropical South America, by causes yet to be determined. This study compares monthly CH 4 flux estimates from two parallel assimilations of GOSAT XCH 4 retrievals from 2010 to 2019 based on the same Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) framework but with the global chemistry transport model (GEOS-Chem v12.5) being run at two different spatial resolutions of 4° × 5° (R4, lon × lat) and 2° × 2.5° (R2, lon × lat) to investigate the effects of resolution-related model errors on the derived long-term global and regional CH 4 emission trends. We found that the mean annual global methane emission for the 2010s is 573.04 Tg yr −1 for the inversion using the R4 model, which becomes about 4.4 Tg yr −1 less (568.63 Tg yr −1 ) when a finer R2 model is used, though both are well within the ensemble range of the 22 top-down results (2008–17) included in the current Global Carbon Project (from 550 Tg yr −1 to 594 Tg yr −1 ). Compared to the R2 model, the inversion based on the R4 tends to overestimate tropical emissions (by 13.3 Tg yr which is accompanied by a general underestimation (by 8.9 Tg yr −1 ) in the extratropics. Such a dipole reflects differences in tropical-mid-latitude air exchange in relation to the model’s convective and advective schemes at different resolutions. The two inversions show a rather consistent long-term CH 4 emission trend at the global scale and over most of the continents, suggesting that the observed rapid increase in atmospheric methane can largely be attributed to the emission growth from North Africa (1.79 Tg yr −2 for R4 and 1.29 Tg yr −2 for R2) and South America Temperate (1.08 Tg yr −2 for R4 and 1.21 Tg yr −2 for R2) during the first half of the 2010s, and from Eurasia Boreal (1.46 Tg yr −2 for R4 and 1.63 Tg yr −2 for R2) and Tropical South America (1.72 Tg yr −2 for R4 and 1.43 Tg yr −2 for R2) over 2015–19. In the meantime, emissions in Europe have shown a consistent decrease over the past decade. However, the growth rates by the two parallel inversions show significant discrepancies over Eurasia Temperate, South America Temperate, and South Africa, which are also the places where recent GOSAT inversions usually disagree with one other.

In Vivo and Clinical Studies of Sea Cucumber-Derived Bioactives for Human Health and Nutrition From 2012-2021 - Qi Liang; Faruq Ahmed; Miansong Zhang; Niki Sperou; Christopher M. M. Franco; Qianjin Feng; Wei Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Sea cucumbers are amongst the highest value seafoods available commercially, especially in the south-east Asian region, primarily due to their nutritional and health benefits as applied in Traditional Chinese Medicine. While the majority of studies for nutritional products derived from sea cucumber compounds have been conducted in vitro , the number of in vivo and evidence-based human clinical studies are limited. This review has critically assessed the advances in in vivo and clinical studies of sea cucumber-derived bioactives (both extracts and compounds) via a comprehensive literature research on papers published in the last ten years from 2012-2021. Sea cucumber-derived compounds were reported to have the following activities: anticancer, antihyperlipidemic, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant/antithrombotic, antioxidant, and antihypertension, immunomodulatory, wound healing and as treatments for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. These active compounds include triterpene glycosides (saponins), fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FCS), cerebrosides, glycosaminoglycan, fucoidan, phospholipids, polysaccharides, peptides, long-chain bases, Frondanol A5, acid mucopolysaccharide, and phosphatidylcholines. Gaps, challenges and future directions have been identified and discussed separately to progress different areas of research and to further scientific validation, development and application of sea cucumbers for human health and nutritional products.

Formation Control of Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles under Communication Delay, Packet Discreteness and Dropout - Liang Li; Yiping Li; Yuexing Zhang; Gaopeng Xu; Junbao Zeng; Xisheng Feng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Effective communication between multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is necessary for formation control. As the most reliable underwater communication method, acoustic communication still has many constraints compared with radio communication, which affects the effectiveness of formation control. Therefore, this paper proposes a formation control scheme for multiple AUVs under communication delay, packet discreteness and dropout. Firstly, the communication delay is estimated based on the kernel density estimation method. To solve the problem of packet discreteness and dropout, the curve fitting method is used to predict the states of the AUV. Secondly, a follower controller is designed based on the leader–follower approach using input–output feedback linearization, which is proven to be stable with Lyapunov stability theory. Then, some simulation results are presented to demonstrate the stability and accuracy of the formation control in different communication environments. Finally, the field tests on the lake show that the scheme introduced in this paper is valid and practical.

Remarkable effects of microbial factors on soil phosphorus bioavailability: A country‐scale study - Jing‐li Lu; Pu Jia; Shi‐wei Feng; Yu‐tao Wang; Jin Zheng; Shu‐ning Ou; Zhuo‐hui Wu; Bin Liao; Wen‐sheng Shu; Jie‐Liang Liang; Jin‐tian Li (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Low soil phosphorus (P) bioavailability causes the widespread occurrence of P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems around the globe. Exploring the factors influencing soil P bioavailability at large spatial scales is critical for managing these ecosystems. However, previous studies have mostly focused on abiotic factors. In this study, we explored the effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability of terrestrial ecosystems using a country‐scale sampling effort. Our results showed that soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and acid phosphatase were important predictors of soil P bioavailability of agro‐ and natural ecosystems across China although they appeared less important than total soil P. The two microbial factors had a positive effect on soil P bioavailability of both ecosystem types and were able to mediate the effects of several abiotic factors (e.g., mean annual temperature). Meanwhile, we revealed that soil phytase could affect soil P bioavailability at the country scale via ways similar to those of soil MBC and acid phosphatase, a pattern being more pronounced in agroecosystems than in natural ecosystems. Moreover, we obtained evidence for the positive effects of microbial genes encoding these enzymes on soil P bioavailability at the country scale although their effect sizes varied between the two ecosystem types. Taken together, this study demonstrated the remarkable effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability at a large spatial scale, highlighting the importance to consider microbial factors in managing the widespread P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems.

Among these compounds, 8‐hydroxyquinoline exhibited valid inhibition in decreasing MSRV nucleoprotein gene expression levels of 99.3% with a half‐maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) value of 4.66 μM at 48 h. Moreover, 8‐hydroxyquinoline significantly enhanced a protective effect in GCO cells by reducing the cytopathic effect (CPE). By comparing the anti‐MSRV activity of 22 quinoline derivatives, we found that 8‐hydroxyquinoline possessed the efficient active site of 8‐hydroxyl and inhibited MSRV infection in vitro. For in vivo studies, 8‐hydroxyquinoline via intraperitoneal injection exhibited an antiviral effect in MSRV‐infected largemouth bass by substantially enhancing the survival rate by 15.0%. Importantly, the viral loads in the infected largemouth bass notably reduced in the spleen on the third days post‐infection. Overall, 8‐hydroxyquinoline was considered to be an efficient agent against MSRV in aquaculture.

Global benefits of non‐continuous flooding to reduce greenhouse gases and irrigation water use without rice yield penalty - Yan Bo; Jonas Jägermeyr; Zun Yin; Yu Jiang; Junzeng Xu; Hao Liang; Feng Zhou (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Non‐continuous flooding is an effective practice for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and irrigation water use (IRR) in rice fields. However, advancing global implementation is hampered by the lack of comprehensive understanding of GHGs and IRR reduction benefits without compromising rice yield. Here, we present the largest observational data set for such effects as of yet. By using Random Forest regression models based on 636 field trials at 105 globally georeferenced sites, we identified the key drivers of effects of non‐continuous flooding practices and mapped maximum GHGs or IRR reduction benefits under optimal non‐continuous flooding strategies. The results show that variation in effects of non‐continuous flooding practices are primarily explained by the UnFlooded days Ratio (UFR, that is the ratio of the number of days without standing water in the field to total days of the growing period). Non‐continuous flooding practices could be feasible to be adopted in 76% of global rice harvested areas. This would reduce the global warming potential (GWP) of CH 4 and N 2 O combined from rice production by 47% or the total GWP by 7% and alleviate IRR by 25%, while maintaining yield levels. The identified UFR targets far exceed currently observed levels particularly in South and Southeast Asia, suggesting large opportunities for climate mitigation and water use conservation, associated with the rigorous implementation of non‐continuous flooding practices in global rice cultivation.

Towards improved modeling of SOC decomposition: soil water potential beyond the wilting point - Junyi Liang; Kangli Chen; Siqintana; Tianci Huo; Yaowen Zhang; Jingying Jing; Wenting Feng (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Soils are important carbon (C) reservoirs and play a critical role in regulating the global C cycle. Soil water potential (SWP) measures the energy with which water is retained in the soil and is one of the most vital factors that constrain the decomposition of soil organic C (SOC). The measurements for soil water retention curve (SWRC), on which the estimation of SWP depends, are usually carried out above −1.5 MPa (i.e., the wilting point for many plants). However, the average moisture threshold at which soil microbial activity ceases is usually below −10 MPa in mineral soils. Beyond the measurement range, the SWP estimation has to be derived from extrapolating the SWRC, which violates the statistical principle, resulting in possibly inaccurate SWP estimations. To date, it is unclear to what extent the extrapolated SWP estimation deviates from the “true value” and how it impacts the modeling of SOC decomposition. This study combined SWRC measurements down to −43.7 MPa, a 72‐day soil incubation experiment with four moisture levels, and an SOC decomposition model. In addition to the complete SWRC (SWRC all ), we fitted two more SWRCs by using measurements above −0.5 MPa (SWRC 0.5 ) and −1.7 MPa (SWRC 1.7 ), respectively, to quantify the deviations of extrapolated SWPs from the complete SWRC. Results showed that extrapolating the SWRC beyond its measurement range significantly underestimated the SWP. Incorporating the extrapolated SWP in the model significantly underestimated the SOC decomposition under relatively dry conditions. With the extrapolated SWP, the model predicted no SOC decomposition in the driest treatment, while the experiment observed a significant CO 2 emission. The results emphasize that accurate SWP estimations beyond the wilting point are critically needed to improve the modeling of SOC decomposition.

Variations and Environmental Controls of Primary Productivity in the Amundsen Sea - Jianlong Feng; Delei Li; Jing Zhang; Liang Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The Amundsen Sea is one of the regions with the highest primary productivity in the Antarctic. To better understand the role of the Southern Ocean in the global carbon cycle and in climate regulation, a better understanding of the variations and environmental controls of primary productivity is needed. Using cluster analysis, the Amundsen Sea was divided into nine bioregions. The biophysical differences among bioregions enhanced confidence to identify priorities and regions to study the temporal and spatial variations in primary production. Four nearshore bioregions with high net primary productivity or rapidly increasing rates were selected to analyze temporal and spatial variations in primary productivity in the Amundsen Sea. Due to changes in net solar radiation and sea ice, primary production had significant seasonal variation in these four bioregions. The phenology had changed at two bioregions (6 and 7), which has the third and fourth highest primary production, due to changes in the dissolved iron. Annual primary production showed increasing trends in these four bioregions, and it was significant at three bioregions. The variation in primary production in the bioregion (9), which has the highest primary production, was mainly affected by variations in sea surface temperatures. In the bioregion (8), which has the second-highest primary production, the primary production was significantly positively correlated with sea surface temperature and significantly negatively correlated with sea ice thickness. The long-term changes of primary productivity in bioregions 6 and 7 were thought to be related to changes in the dissolved iron, and dissolved iron was the limiting factor in these two bioregions. Bioregionalization not only disentangles multiple factors that control the spatial differences, but also disentangles limiting factors that affect the phenology, decadal and long-term changes in primary productivity.

Hypoxia Stress Induces Tissue Damage, Immune Defense, and Oxygen Transport Change in Gill of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix): Evaluation on Hypoxia by Using Transcriptomics - Xiaohui Li; Chen Ling; Qiaoxin Wang; Cui Feng; Xiangzhong Luo; Hang Sha; Guoyu He; Guiwei Zou; Hongwei Liang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ) is an economically, as well as environmentally, important fish that harbors low environmental hypoxia tolerance and frequently contributes to a loss of aquaculture productivity. The gill is the first tissue attacked by hypoxia; however, the response of the gills of H. molitrix to hypoxia stress at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels has not been clearly established. The influence of hypoxia on histological features along with gene expression in silver carp gills were explored in this research. The hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections and electron microscopy examinations of gills indicated that the gill lamellae were seriously twisted, gill filaments were dehisced, and the swelling and shedding of epithelial cell layer in the gill tissue were intensified along with the degree of hypoxia. In the hypoxia, semi-asphyxia, and asphyxia groups, the gill transcriptomic assessment of shifts in key genes, as well as modulatory networks in response to hypoxic conditions revealed 587, 725, and 748 differentially expressed genes, respectively. These genes are abundant in immune response signaling cascades (e.g., complement and coagulation cascades, Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor signaling cascade, and differentiation of Th1 along with Th2 cells) and oxygen transport [e.g., MAPK, PI3K-Akt, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling cascades]. Genes linked to immune response (e.g., c2 , c3 , c6 , klf4 , cxcr4 , cd45 , and cd40 ) and oxygen transport (e.g., egln1 , egln3 , epo , ldh , and vegfa ) were additionally identified. According to our findings, the silver carp may be using “HIF-1” to obtain additional oxygen during hypoxia. These findings illustrate that hypoxia stress might damage gill tissue, trigger an immunological response, and activate HIF-1 signaling to increase oxygen availability under hypoxic situations. The findings of this work will help scientists better understand the molecular mechanisms driving hypoxia responses in hypoxia-sensitive fish and speed up the development of hypoxia-resistant varieties.

Cardiac fibroblasts secrete exosome microRNA to suppress cardiomyocyte pyroptosis in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury - Niannian Liu; Liang Xie; Pingxi Xiao; Xing Chen; Wenjie Kong; Qiaozhen Lou; Feng Chen; Xiang Lu (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2022)
Molecular mechanisms underlying myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury and effective strategies to treat MI/R injury are both in shortage. Although pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes and the protective role of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) have been well recognized as targets to reduce MI/R injury and sudden cardiac death (SCD), the connection has not yet been established. Here, we showed that CFs protected cardiomyocytes against MI/R-induced injury through suppression of pyroptosis. A novel molecular mechanism underpinning this effect was further identified. Under hypoxia/reoxygenation condition, CFs were found to secrete exosomes, which contain increased level of microRNA-133a (miR-133a). These exosomes then delivered miR-133a into cardiomyocytes to target ELAVL1 and repressed cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. Based on this finding, we successfully developed a new strategy that used exosomes derived from CFs with overexpressed miR-133a to enhance the therapeutic outcomes for the MI/R injury. Overall, our results provide a novel molecular basis for understanding and treating MI/R injury, and our study also provides novel insight for the postmortem diagnosis of MI/R injury induced SCD by using exosome biomarker in forensic.

Mitogenomic phylogeny resolves Cuneopsis (Bivalvia: Unionidae) as polyphyletic: The description of two new genera and a new species - Xiao‐Ping Wu; Yu‐Ting Dai; Nan Yin; Feng‐Yue Shu; Zhong‐Guang Chen; Liang Guo; Chun‐Hua Zhou; Shan Ouyang; Xiao‐Chen Huang (Zoologica Scripta, 2022)
Freshwater mussels are known to have two types of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transmitted separately through oocytes and sperms, namely, maternal (F‐type) and paternal (M‐type) mtDNA. The additional suite of mitochondrial genes provides a great opportunity to resolve phylogenetically problematic relationships. East Asian freshwater mussels of the genus Cuneopsis were considered a compact group of taxa having wedge‐shaped shells. However, preliminary results from previous studies challenged the monophyly of Cuneopsis , and the exact phylogenetic relationships among Cuneopsis and its allied genera are yet to be determined with comprehensive species sampling. Here, we evaluated species boundaries in Cuneopsis based on COI barcoding and obtained 11 new F‐ and M‐type mitogenomes via genome skimming to elucidate the evolutionary history of Cuneopsis . COI barcode data supported the validity of all sampled six Cuneopsis species (missing C. kiangsiensis ). Our mitochondrial phylogenomic analyses confirmed that the currently recognized genus Cuneopsis sensu lato was polyphyletic, recovering three well‐supported clades. Molecular dating analysis suggested Cuneopsis s.l . diversified at ~58.06 million years ago in the Paleogene. Hereby, we propose two new genera, that is, Arcuneopsis gen. nov. and Pseudocuneopsis gen. nov. Additionally, we report a new species, Pseudocuneopsis sichuanensis sp. nov., from Chengdu, Sichuan, China, and a newly recorded species from China, Cuneopsis demangei .

Aeromonas veronii virulence and adhesion attenuation mediated by the gene aodp - Lei Zhang; Shengnan Jin; Chao Feng; Haichao Song; Sayed Haidar Abbas Raza; Huabo Yu; Liang Zhang; Teng Chi; Yanling Qi; Dongxing Zhang; Aidong Qian; Ning Liu; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Aeromonas veronii ( A. veronii ) is an opportunistic pathogen of fish–human–livestock, which poses a threat to the development of aquaculture. Based on our previous studies on proteomics and genomics, we found out that the aodp gene may be related to the virulence of A. veronii TH0426. However, aodp gene encodes a hypothetical protein with an unknown function, and its role in A. veronii TH0426 is not clear. Here, we first constructed a mutant strain (△‐ aodp ) to investigate the functional role of aodp in A. veronii TH0426. Compared with the wild strain A. veronii TH0426, the growth rate of strain △‐ aodp was slower and was resistant to neomycin and kanamycin, but sensitive to cephalexin. The swimming and swarming ability of △‐ aodp strain decreased, and the pathogenicity to mice decreased by 15.84‐fold. Besides, the activity of caspase‐3 in EPCs infected with △‐ aodp strain was 1.49‐fold lower than that of the wild strain. We examined 20 factors closely related to A. veronii virulence, among them 17 genes were down‐regulated as a result of aodp deficiency. This study laid a foundation for further studies on the pathogenesis of A. veronii .

Depth‐dependent drivers of soil microbial necromass carbon across Tibetan alpine grasslands - Mei He; Kai Fang; Leiyi Chen; Xuehui Feng; Shuqi Qin; Dan Kou; Hongbo He; Chao Liang; Yuanhe Yang (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Microbial necromass carbon (C) has been considered an important contributor to persistent soil C pool. However, there still lacks large‐scale systematic observations on microbial necromass C in different soil layers, particularly for alpine ecosystems. Besides, it is still unclear whether the relative importance of biotic and abiotic variables such as plant C input and mineral properties in regulating microbial necromass C would change with soil depth. Based on the combination of large‐scale sampling along a ~2200 km transect across Tibetan alpine grasslands and biomarker analysis, together with a global data synthesis across grassland ecosystems, we observed a relatively low proportion of microbial‐derived C in Tibetan alpine grasslands compared to global grasslands (topsoil: 45.4% vs. 58.1%; subsoil: 41.7% vs. 53.7%). We also found that major determinants of microbial necromass C depended on soil depth. In topsoil, both plant C input and mineral protection exerted dominant effects on microbial necromass C. However, in subsoil, the physico‐chemical protection provided by soil clay particles, iron‐aluminum oxides, and exchangeable calcium dominantly facilitated the preservation of microbial necromass C. The differential drivers over microbial necromass C between soil depths should be considered in Earth system models for accurately forecasting soil C dynamics and its potential feedback to global warming.

The role of carbonic anhydrase III and autophagy in type 2 diabetes with cardio-cerebrovascular disease - Xiao-Ming Zhang; Ying-Hong Tao; Xiu-Ling Zhou; Xi-Liang Shang; Xiao-Bo Gong; Ying-Chao Liu; Yan-Yan Huang; Gang Chen; Zhong-Yu Yu; Jian-Tao Wang; Zun-Guo Du; Guo-Feng Wu; et al. (Metabolic Brain Disease, 2021)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases among the elderly people. The T2DM increases the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCD), and the main pathological change of the CCD is atherosclerosis (AS). Meanwhile, the carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are involved in the formation and progression of plaques in AS. However, the exact physiological mechanism of carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) has not been clear yet, and there are also no correlation study between CAIII protein and T2DM with CCD. The 8-week old diabetic mice (db/db −/− mice) and wild-type mice (wt mice) were feed by a normal diet till 32 weeks, and detected the carotid artery vascular opening angle using the method of biomechanics; The changes of cerebral cortex and myocardium were watched by the ultrastructure, and the autophagy were observed by electron microscope; The tissue structure, inflammation and cell injury were observed by Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; The apoptosis of cells were observed by TUNEL staining; The protein levels of CAIII, IL-17, p53 were detected by immunohistochemical and Western Blot, and the Beclin-1, LC3, NF-κB were detected by Western Blot. All statistical analysis is performed using PRISM software. Compared with wt mice, db/db −/− mice’ carotid artery open angle increased significantly. Electron microscope results indicated that autophagy in db/db −/− mice cerebral cortex and heart tissue decreased and intracellular organelle ultrastructure were damaged. HE staining indicated that, db/db −/− mice’ cerebral cortex and heart tissue stained lighter, inflammatory cells infiltration, cell edema were obvious, myocardial fibers were disorder, and myocardial cells showed different degrees of degeneration. Compared with wt mice, TUNEL staining showed that there was obviously increase in db/db −/− mice cortex and heart tissue cell apoptosis. The results of immunohistochemistry and Western Blot indicated that CAIII, Beclin-1 and LC3II/I expression levels conspicuously decreased in cortex and heart tissue of db/db −/− mice, and the expression level of IL-17, NF-κB and p53 obviously increased. The carotid artery’ vascular stiffness was increased and which was probably related with formation of AS in diabetic mice. And the autophagy participated in the occurrence and development of diabetic CCD. CAIII protein might somehow be involved in the regulation of autophagy probably through affecting cell apoptosis and inflammation, but the underlying mechanism remains to be further studied.

Identifying sectoral impacts on global scarce water uses from multiple perspectives - Xuechun Yang; Sai Liang; Jianchuan Qi; Cuiyang Feng; Shen Qu; Ming Xu (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2021)
Scarce water uses driven by hotspots in production and consumption stages of global supply chains have been well studied. However, hotspots in primary inputs and intermediate transmission stages also leading to large amounts of global scarce water uses are overlooked. This gap can lead to the underestimation of the impacts of certain nation sectors on global scarce water uses. This study identifies critical primary suppliers and transmission centers in global supply chains contributing to scarce water uses, based on environmentally extended multi‐regional input‐output (EE‐MRIO) model and complex network analysis methods. Results show that some critical primary suppliers (e.g., the service auxiliary to financial intermediation sector in the United States and the financial intermediation services sector in India) and transmission centers (e.g., the raw milk sector in the United States and the transmission services of electricity sector in China) are unidentifiable in previous studies. These findings provide hotspots for supply‐side measures (e.g., optimization of primary input and product allocation behaviors) and productivity improvement measures. The critical inter‐sectoral transactions (mainly involving the agricultural and food products sectors in India, China, and the United States) further provide explicit directions for these measures. Moreover, this study conducts a community detection, which identifies communities (i.e., the clusters of nation sectors closely interconnected) leading to global scarce water uses. Most of the communities involve sectors from different nations, providing foundations for international cooperation strategies.

Satellite‐derived NDVI underestimates the advancement of alpine vegetation growth over the past three decades - Hao Wang; Huiying Liu; Ni Huang; Jian Bi; Xuanlong Ma; Zhiyuan Ma; Zijian Shangguan; Hongfang Zhao; Qisheng Feng; Tiangang Liang; Guangmin Cao; Bernhard Schmid; et al. (Ecology, 2021)
Satellite‐derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data are increasingly relied on to reveal the growth responses of vegetation to climate change, yet the vegetation growth tracking accuracy of these data remains unclear due to a lack of long‐term field data. Here, we adopted a unique field‐measured seasonal aboveground biomass dataset from 1982–2014 to assess the potential of using satellite‐derived NDVI data to match field data in regard to the interannual variability in seasonal vegetation growth in a Tibetan alpine grassland. We revealed that Global Inventory Monitoring and Modeling System (GIMMS) NDVI data captured the advancement of field‐measured vegetation growth throughout the entire study period but not from 2000–2014, while MODIS NDVI data still observed this advancing trend after 2000 to a limited extent. However, satellite‐derived NDVI data consistently underestimated the advancement degree of field‐measured vegetation growth, regardless of whether GIMMS or MODIS NDVI data were considered. We tentatively attribute this underestimation to an increased ratio of grass biomass to forb biomass, which could delay the advancement of NDVI development but not affect that of field‐measured biomass development. Our results suggest that satellite‐derived NDVI data may miss critical responses of vegetation growth to global climate change, potentially due to long‐term shifts in plant community composition.

Evaluation and GWAS of radicle gravitropic response in a core rice germplasm population - Qiaojun Lou; Qingsong Li; Fangjun Feng; Ryan Joynson; Yunan Yang; Lijun Luo; Liang Chen (Plant and Soil, 2021)
Aims Since gravitropism is one of the primary determinants of root development, facilitating root penetration into soil and subsequent absorption of water and nutrients, we studied this response in rice. Methods The gravitropism of 226 Chinese rice micro-core accessions and drought-resistant core accessions were assessed through the modified gravity-bending experiment and genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) was used to map the associated QTLs. Results The average value of gravitropic response speed of seminal roots was 41.05°/h, ranging from 16.77°/h to 62.83°/h. The gravity response speed of Indica (42.49°/h) was significantly (P < 0.002) higher than Japonica (39.71°/h) subspecies. The gravitational response speed of seminal roots was significantly positively correlated with the number of deep roots (r = 0.16), the growth speed of seminal roots (r = 0.21) and the drought resistance coefficient (r = 0.14). Conclusions In total, 3 QTLs (quantitative traits) associated with gravitropic response speed were identified on chromosome 4, 11 and 12. There are some known QTLs relating to roots traits and drought resistance located nearby the QTLs identified here, which confirms the close relationship between radicle gravitropism and the drought resistance. From within these intervals, 5 candidate genes were screened and verified by qPCR in a few rice varieties with extreme phenotypic values, demonstrating that gene LOC_Os12g29350 may regulate gravitropism negatively. This may be a promising candidate to be confirmed in further studies.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is clinically defined by alternating depressive and manic episodes with a separated period of euthymia. Thalamo-frontal loop plays vital role in psychotic symptoms, altered motor control and executive difficulties in BD. It remains unclear that structural and functional alterations of thalamo-frontal loop among the different mood states in BD, especially in pediatric BD(PBD). Twenty manic PBD (mPBD), 20 euthymic PBD (ePBD) and 19 healthy controls (HCs) were included in the study. By analyzing the T1 images and fMRI signals, thalamus volume and frontal grey matter cortical thickness were tested, and functional connectivity (FC) between bilateral thalamus and frontal cortex was calculated. Relationship between clinical indices and thalamo-frontal FC was also evaluated in mPBD and ePBD adolescents. Compared to HCs, the cortical thickness of left middle frontal gyrus (MFG), bilateral superior frontal gyrus (SFG) was significantly decreased in both mPBD and ePBD patients, and volume of left thalamus and cortical thickness of right MFG significantly decreased in mPBD patients. Compared to that of the HCs and ePBD subjects, thalamo-frontal hyperconnectivity with MFG was found in mPBD, and compared with that of HCs, thalamo-frontal hypoconnectivity with precentral gyrus/SFG was found in ePBD. In ePBD patients, episode times positively correlated with FC values between thalamus and precentral gyrus. The findings of the present study demonstrate detailed knowledge regarding shared and specific structural and functional disruption in thalamo-frontal loop in mPBD and ePBD subjects. Thalamo-frontal abnormalities reported in adult BD subjects were also observed in adolescent BD patients, and thalamo-frontal dysfunction may be a crucial treatment target in BD.
