Geological effects influence population genetic connectivity more than Pleistocene glaciations in the water strider Metrocoris sichuanensis (Insecta: Hemiptera: Gerridae) - Zhen Ye; Juanjuan Yuan; Min Li; Jakob Damgaard; Pingping Chen; Chenguang Zheng; Haibin Yu; Siying Fu; Wenjun Bu (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
Aim Palaeoclimatic and palaeogeological events have been identified as two main factors that influence the genetic structuring of extant organisms. We studied a montane stream‐dwelling insect, Metrocoris sichuanensis , to explore the relative roles played by these two factors in population genetic connectivity. Location Sichuan Basin, China. Methods Mitochondrial ( COI , COII , Cytb, 16S) and nuclear ( EF ‐1α, ITS 1) markers were sequenced from 208 individuals. Suitable habitat shifts from the Last Glacial Maximum ( LGM ) to the present were predicted through fine‐tuned ecological niche modelling ( ENM ). Phylogenetic and phylogeographical analyses were conducted to reveal the population genetic structure. Intraspecific divergence and expansion times were estimated using beast . Finally, the least cost path ( LCP ) method coupled with migrate analysis was used to identify possible dispersal corridors and estimate the asymmetric gene flow. Results Our ENM results suggested that population habitat connectivity did not change both in the LGM and current conditions. Whole haplotypes were separated into four highly supported clades/haplogroups that exhibited strong geographical structure. The splitting events between the four lineages likely date back to the Early Pleistocene. Bayesian skyline plot ( BSP ) indicated a moderate demographic growth from the LGM to the present. A putative dispersal corridor was detected along the Longmen Mountains thrust belt, with unidirectional gene flow from north to south. Main conclusion Our findings support the geographical isolation of the genetic lineages and a deep early Pleistocene split in M. sichuanensis . Landscape connectivity analysis incorporating the genetic data and the ENM prediction revealed that population genetic connectivity was strongly associated with stable climatic habitats shaped by complex topography. The drainage system might have assisted the rapid movement of populations along the Longmen Mountains thrust belt. A strategy for researching the population genetic connectivity of narrow endemics, such as M. sichuanensis , in global biodiversity hotspots is proposed and discussed in this paper.

Summary The small‐molecule sunscreen compounds, mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs), have strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption and can protect cyanobacteria against UV‐B damage. However, the molecular mechanism underlying UV‐B signaling and MAA chemical diversity remain largely unclear. Here, we identified a five‐gene cluster for MAA biosynthesis in the solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme . A LuxR family protein OrrA was identified as a positive UV‐B responsive regulator binding to the promoter region of this gene cluster. OrrA functions as an activator mediating the UV‐B induced MAA biosynthesis. Overexpression of orrA strengthened its UV‐B tolerance during desiccation, and enhanced the photosynthetic recovery upon rehydration. Heterologous expression of this gene cluster in Anabaena PCC 7120 produces the same MAA as that in field samples of N . flagelliforme . The MAA structure is assigned as mycosporine‐2‐(4‐deoxygadusolyl‐ornithine) with a molecular weight of 756 Da, the structurally unique MAA compound reported to date. This MAA was catalyzed by mysD‐mysC2‐mysC1 encoding proteins from 4‐deoxygadusol, which was synthesized through the catalysis of mysA‐mysB products. Thus, we elucidated the transcriptional mechanism for a novel type MAA biosynthesis in solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacteria, which shed light on the identification of other components for UV‐B signaling in cyanobacteria.

The nitrate‐reduction gene cluster components exert lineage‐dependent contributions to optimization of Sinorhizobium symbiosis with soybeans - Li Xue Liu; Qin Qin Li; Yun Zeng Zhang; Yue Hu; Jian Jiao; Hui Juan Guo; Xing Xing Zhang; Biliang Zhang; Wen Xin Chen; Chang Fu Tian (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Receiving nodulation and nitrogen fixation genes does not guarantee rhizobia an effective symbiosis with legumes. Here, variations in gene content were determined for three Sinorhizobium species showing contrasting symbiotic efficiency on soybeans. A nitrate‐reduction gene cluster absent in S. sojae was found to be essential for symbiotic adaptations of S. fredii and S . sp. III. In S. fredii , the deletion mutation of the nap (nitrate reductase), instead of nir (nitrite reductase) and nor (nitric oxide reductase), led to defects in nitrogen‐fixation (Fix – ). By contrast, none of these core nitrate‐reduction genes were required for the symbiosis of S . sp. III. However, within the same gene cluster, the deletion of hemN1 (encoding oxygen‐independent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase) in both S. fredii and S . sp. III led to the formation of nitrogen‐fixing (Fix + ) but ineffective (Eff – ) nodules. These Fix + /Eff – nodules were characterized by significantly lower enzyme activity of glutamine synthetase indicating rhizobial modulation of nitrogen‐assimilation by plants. A distant homologue of HemN1 from S. sojae can complement this defect in S. fredii and S . sp. III, but exhibited a more pleotropic role in symbiosis establishment. These findings highlighted the lineage‐dependent optimization of symbiotic functions in different rhizobial species associated with the same host.

Characteristics of cloud cluster over the steep southern slopes of the Himalayas observed by CloudSat - Yilun Chen; Yunfei Fu; Tao Xian; Xiao Pan (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
ABSRACT A cloud cluster ( CC ) dataset is presented using CloudSat Cloud Profile Radar ( CPR ) observations from June to August, between 2006 and 2010. The CCs were defined by grouping contiguous cloud pixels using a defined criteria, including reflectivity, ‘cloud mask’, and topographic information. The characteristics of identified CCs were then analysed. Based on the complex topography of the southern Himalayas, four adjacent regions were selected, including the flat Gangetic Plains ( FGP ), the foothills of the Himalayas ( FHH ), the steep slope of the southern Himalayas ( SSSH ), and the Himalayan‐Tibetan Plateau ( HTPT ). The characteristics of the CCs in the four regions were different, and the distribution of the cloud‐top height gradually changed from bimodal (3 and 15 km) over the FGP and FHH , to unimodal (7–9 km) over the HTPT . From the plain to the Plateau, the average cloud‐top height and cloud‐base height increased after an initial decrease. The maximum reflectivity increased from −6 (plain) to 2 dBZ (slope areas), and then decreased to −2 dBZ (Plateau), which suggests that the CCs may produce precipitation on the slope. Maximum CCs occurred over the FHH . The characteristics of the CCs also showed semidiurnal variation, which may have been affected by the variation of the monsoon and the circulation over the mountain valley. According to the physical principles of the cloud‐type definitions from ISCCP , high‐level cirrus, deep convective CCs , and mid‐ to low‐level CCs were categorized. As the elevation increased, the cloud‐top height of the mid‐ to low‐level CCs also significantly increased to 8 km, whereas the cloud‐top height of the high‐level cirrus clouds decreased. Our results suggest that the different characteristics of CCs may be caused by a strong upward motion interacting with the terrain of the Himalayas.

Pyrosequencing of rpoB uncovers a significant biogeographical pattern of rhizobial species in soybean rhizosphere - Xing Xing Zhang; Hui Juan Guo; Jian Jiao; Pan Zhang; Hui Yang Xiong; Wen Xin Chen; Chang Fu Tian (Journal of Biogeography, 2017)
Aim Most culture‐independent studies of bacterial biogeography have been at genus or higher taxonomic levels, although many important processes mediated by bacteria are at the strain or species level, such as the competitive nodulation of rhizobia on legumes. Here, at the intra‐species level, we characterized the structural variation in rhizobial populations in soybean rhizosphere under field conditions across 32 sampling sites in three eco‐regions. Location North‐east (Heilongjiang), north (Hebei–Shandong) and south (Jiangxi) China. Methods The intra‐species diversity of rhizobia in soybean rhizospheres was investigated by rpoB pyrosequencing. Soybean nodule isolates were characterized using repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR , restriction fragment length polymorphism of 16S‐23S intergenic sequences and rpoB PCR sequencing. Patterns and processes of biogeography of identified rhizobia were studied. Results Significant biogeographical patterns of rhizosphere rhizobia at the species level were found, and the abundant species in the rhizosphere were generally the dominant microsymbionts in soybean nodules. The distribution of rhizobial species in the rhizosphere across eco‐regions correlated with combined effects of spatial, vegetative, edaphic and climatic variables. Gene flow and genetic differentiation analyses revealed that there was no dispersal limitation among geographical populations of the same rhizobial species, and drift or subsequent diversification might be involved in shaping the biogeographical pattern in addition to environmental factors. Main conclusions These results constitute the first report of the existence of rhizobial biogeography in legume rhizospheres at the species level, contrasting with most studies, which focused on nodule isolates. The method developed in this study could be used to uncover, at high resolution, the diversity of local rhizobial populations in soils. This information is crucial for choosing suitable strains or species as inoculants for a specific legume host under local field conditions. Moreover, a similar strategy could be used to study other bacteria with important ecological functions.

Petrography and geochemistry of upper T riassic sandstones from the T umengela F ormation in the W oruo M ountain area, N orth Q iangtang B asin, T ibet: I mplications for provenance, source area weathering, and tectonic setting - Zhongwei Wang; Jian Wang; Xiugen Fu; Xinglei Feng; Dong Wang; Chunyan Song; Wenbin Chen; Shengqiang Zeng (Island Arc, 2017)
The petrography and major and trace element concentrations of the sandstones from the T umengela F ormation in the W oruo M ountain area, N orth Q iangtang B asin, are studied to determine their provenance, intensity of weathering and tectonic setting. The detrital compositions of the T umengela sandstone samples are dominated by quartz (58.0–70.1 %, average 64.7 %) and lithic fragments (21.8–35.9 %, average 27.3 %), but low in feldspar content (4.9–12.9 %, average 8.0 %). The sandstones can be classified as litharenite and feldspathic litharenite according to their detrital compositions, which is consistent with the geochemical data. The detrital modal compositions reflect that these sandstones are probably derived from a recycled orogenic source. The index of chemical variability ( ICV ) and SiO 2 / A l 2 O 3 ratio values suggest that the compositional maturity and recycling were moderate. The weathering indices such as the chemical index of alteration ( CIA ), plagioclase index of alteration ( PIA ), chemical index of weathering ( CIW ), and A l 2 O 3 –( C a O * + N a 2 O )– K 2 O ( A – CN – K ) diagram indicate that the intensities of weathering in the source area were moderate. The A l 2 O 3 / T i O 2 , T h/ C o, L a/ S c, L a/ C o, T h/ S c, C r/ T h ratio values and the discriminant function of the T umengela sandstones indicate that the sediments were mainly derived from felsic source rocks, while also mixed with intermediate source rocks. The comparison of rare earth element patterns and its E u anomalies to the probable source rocks infer that the sandstones were derived from the combination of granite, rhyolite, dacite, and gneisses. The proximal central uplift belt was probably the primary provenance area as evidenced by the petrographical and geochemical features of the T umengela sandstones. The multidimensional tectonic discrimination diagram based on major elements show a collision setting (80 %) combined with a rift setting (20 %) for the T umengela sandstones, which is consistent with the general geology of the study areas.

MoRad6‐mediated ubiquitination pathways are essential for development and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae - Huan‐Bin Shi; Guo‐Qing Chen; Ya‐Ping Chen; Bo Dong; Jian‐Ping Lu; Xiao‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Cheng Lin (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary The ubiquitin system modulates protein functions through targeting substrates for ubiquitination. Here, E2 conjugating enzyme MoRad6‐related ubiquitination pathways are identified and analyzed in Magnaporthe oryzae , the causal agent of rice blast disease. Disruption of MoRad6 leads to severe defects in growth, sporulation, conidial germination, appressorium formation, and plant infection. To depict the functions of MoRad6, three putative ubiquitin ligases, MoRad18, MoBre1 and MoUbr1, are also characterized. Deletion of MoRad18 causes minor phenotypic changes, while MoBre1 is required for growth, conidiation and pathogenicity in M. oryzae . Defects in ΔMobre1 likely resulted from the reduction in di‐ and tri‐methylation level of Histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Notably, MoUbr1 is crucial for conidial adhesion and germination, possibly by degrading components of cAMP/PKA and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) Pmk1 signaling pathways via the N‐end rule pathway. Germination failure of ΔMoubr1 conidia could be rescued by elevation of cAMP level or enhanced Pmk1 phosphorylation resulting from further deletion of MoIra1, the M. oryzae homolog of yeast Ira1/2. These reveal vital effects of cAMP/PKA and MAPK Pmk1 signaling on conidial germination in M. oryzae . Altogether, our results suggest that MoRad6‐mediated ubiquitination pathways are essential for the infection‐related development and pathogenicity of M. oryzae .

Strong impacts of daily minimum temperature on the green‐up date and summer greenness of the Tibetan Plateau - Miaogen Shen; Shilong Piao; Xiaoqiu Chen; Shuai An; Yongshuo H. Fu; Shiping Wang; Nan Cong; Ivan A. Janssens (Global Change Biology, 2016)
Understanding vegetation responses to climate change on the Tibetan Plateau ( TP ) helps in elucidating the land–atmosphere energy exchange, which affects air mass movement over and around the TP . Although the TP is one of the world's most sensitive regions in terms of climatic warming, little is known about how the vegetation responds. Here, we focus on how spring phenology and summertime greenness respond to the asymmetric warming, that is, stronger warming during nighttime than during daytime. Using both in situ and satellite observations, we found that vegetation green‐up date showed a stronger negative partial correlation with daily minimum temperature ( T min ) than with maximum temperature ( T max ) before the growing season (‘preseason’ henceforth). Summer vegetation greenness was strongly positively correlated with summer T min , but negatively with T max . A 1‐K increase in preseason T min advanced green‐up date by 4 days ( P P 0.01). In contrast, increases in preseason T max did not advance green‐up date ( P > 0.10) and higher summer T max even reduced greenness by 2.6% K −1 ( P 0.05). The stimulating effects of increasing T min were likely caused by reduced low temperature constraints, and the apparent negative effects of higher T max on greenness were probably due to the accompanying decline in water availability. The dominant enhancing effect of nighttime warming indicates that climatic warming will probably have stronger impact on TP ecosystems than on apparently similar Arctic ecosystems where vegetation is controlled mainly by T max . Our results are crucial for future improvements of dynamic vegetation models embedded in the Earth System Models which are being used to describe the behavior of the Asian monsoon. The results are significant because the state of the vegetation on the TP plays an important role in steering the monsoon.

Anaerobic choline metabolism in microcompartments promotes growth and swarming of P roteus mirabilis - Eleanor Jameson; Tiantian Fu; Ian R. Brown; Konrad Paszkiewicz; Kevin J. Purdy; Stefanie Frank; Yin Chen (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Gammaproteobacteria are important gut microbes but only persist at low levels in the healthy gut. The ecology of G ammaproteobacteria in the gut environment is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that choline is an important growth substrate for representatives of G ammaproteobacteria . Using P roteus mirabilis as a model, we investigate the role of choline metabolism and demonstrate that the cut C gene, encoding a choline‐trimethylamine lyase, is essential for choline degradation to trimethylamine by targeted mutagenesis of cut C and subsequent complementation experiments. P roteus mirabilis can rapidly utilize choline to enhance growth rate and cell yield in broth culture. Importantly, choline also enhances swarming‐associated colony expansion of P . mirabilis under anaerobic conditions on a solid surface. Comparative transcriptomics demonstrated that choline not only induces choline‐trimethylamine lyase but also genes encoding shell proteins for the formation of bacterial microcompartments. Subsequent analyses by transmission electron microscopy confirmed the presence of such novel microcompartments in cells cultivated in liquid broth and hyper‐flagellated swarmer cells from solid medium. Together, our study reveals choline metabolism as an adaptation strategy for P . mirabilis and contributes to better understand the ecology of this bacterium in health and disease.

Methane and nitrous oxide emissions under no‐till farming in China: a meta‐analysis - Xin Zhao; Sheng‐Li Liu; Chao Pu; Xiang‐Qian Zhang; Jian‐Fu Xue; Ran Zhang; Yu‐Qiao Wang; Rattan Lal; Hai‐Lin Zhang; Fu Chen (Global Change Biology, 2016)
No‐till ( NT ) practices are among promising options toward adaptation and mitigation of climate change. However, the mitigation effectiveness of NT depends not only on its carbon sequestration potential but also on soil‐derived CH 4 and N 2 O emissions. A meta‐analysis was conducted, using a dataset involving 136 comparisons from 39 studies in China, to identify site‐specific factors which influence CH 4 emission, CH 4 uptake, and N 2 O emission under NT . Comparative treatments involved NT without residue retention ( NT 0), NT with residue retention ( NTR ), compared to plow tillage ( PT ) with residue removed ( PT 0). Overall, NT 0 significantly decreased CH 4 emission by ~30% ( P 0.05) compared to PT 0 with an average emission 218.8 kg ha −1 for rice paddies. However, the increase in N 2 O emission could partly offset the benefits of the decrease in CH 4 emission under NT compared to PT 0. NTR significantly enhanced N 2 O emission by 82.1%, 25.5%, and 20.8% ( P 0.05) compared to PT 0 for rice paddies, acid soils, and the first 5 years of the experiments, respectively. The results from categorical meta‐analysis indicated that the higher N 2 O emission could be mitigated by adopting NT within alkaline soils, for long‐term duration, and with less N fertilization input when compared to PT 0. In addition, the natural log (lnR) of response ratio of CH 4 and N 2 O emissions under NT correlated positively (enhancing emission) with climate factors (temperature and precipitation) and negatively (reducing emission) with experimental duration, suggesting that avoiding excess soil wetness and using NT for a long term could enhance the benefits of NT . Therefore, a thorough understanding of the conditions favoring greenhouse gas(es) reductions is essential to achieving climate change mitigation and advancing food security in China.
