Exploring complex water stress–gross primary production relationships: Impact of climatic drivers, main effects, and interactive effects - Huan Wang; Shijie Yan; Philippe Ciais; Jean‐Pierre Wigneron; Laibao Liu; Yan Li; Zheng Fu; Hongliang Ma; Ze Liang; Feili Wei; Yueyao Wang; Shuangcheng Li (Global Change Biology, 2022)
The dominance of vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and soil water content (SWC) for plant water stress is still under debate. These two variables are strongly coupled and influenced by climatic drivers. The impacts of climatic drivers on the relationships between gross primary production (GPP) and water stress from VPD/SWC and the interaction between VPD and SWC are not fully understood. Here, applying statistical methods and extreme gradient boosting models—Shapley additive explanations framework to eddy‐covariance observations from the global FLUXNET2015 data set, we found that the VPD‐GPP relationship was strongly influenced by climatic interactions and that VPD was more important for plant water stress than SWC across most plant functional types when we removed the effect of main climatic drivers, e.g. air temperature, incoming shortwave radiation and wind speed. However, we found no evidence for a significant influence of elevated CO 2 on stress alleviation, possibly because of the short duration of the records (approximately one decade). Additionally, the interactive effect between VPD and SWC differed from their individual effect. When SWC was high, the SHAP interaction value of SWC and VPD on GPP was decreased with increasing VPD, but when SWC was low, the trend was the opposite. Additionally, we revealed a threshold effect for VPD stress on GPP loss; above the threshold value, the stress on GPP was flattened off. Our results have important implications for independently identifying VPD and SWC limitations on plant productivity, which is meaningful for capturing the magnitude of ecosystem responses to water stress in dynamic global vegetation models.

Effect of Transport Density on Greater Amberjack (Seriola dumerili) Stress, Metabolism, Antioxidant Capacity and Immunity - Hongyan Liu; Zhengyi Fu; Gang Yu; Zhenhua Ma; Zhilu Fu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
This study sought to characterize the effect of density stress on greater amberjack ( Seriola dumerili ) survival to determine an optimal transport density. To achieve this, this experiment simulated the transport conditions of fish (body length: 4.09 ± 1.00 cm; weight: 0.9 ± 0.05 g) using closed oxygen transport at 5 different densities (D1 = 1.125 kg/m 3 , D2 = 2.25 kg/m 3 , D3 = 3.375 kg/m 3 , D4 = 4.5 kg/m 3 , and D5 = 6.75 kg/m 3 ) for 8 hours, after which biochemical indicators, stress, metabolism, and antioxidant capacity were evaluated. After 8h, only the D1 and D3 groups exhibited survival rates above 90%. The pH of the water decreased with density, whereas the ammonia nitrogen and nitrite increased with density. Cortisol (COR) levels were not significantly different among all the groups, but tended to increase with increasing density. In this study, COR is a relatively stable index with the increase in density, but in D3 group, the change of COR will not cause the change of immune-related genes, so COR can inhibit the expression of immune genes within a certain density. The D3 density group exhibited the highest catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐PX) levels. In addition, the expression levels of immune related factor interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), major histocompatibility complex (MHC-1) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-KB1) were the lowest in D3 density group. The density of fish during transportation significantly affects water quality, metabolism, and immunity. During transportation, assuming that the plastic bags are airtight to ensure aerobic conditions and that the transportation time is within 8 h, transport density should be maintained at approximately 3.375 kg/m 3 .

Fast Detection of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning Toxins in Mussels Using NIR Spectroscopy and Improved Twin Support Vector Machines - Yao Liu; Fu Qiao; Lele Xu; Runtao Wang; Wei Jiang; Zhen Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins are potent marine biotoxins. It can cause a severe gastrointestinal illness by the consumption of mussels contaminated by DSP toxins. New methods for effectively and rapidly detecting DSP toxins-contaminated mussels are required. In this study, we used near-infrared (NIR) reflection spectroscopy combined with pattern recognition methods to detect DSP toxins. In the range of 950-1700 nm, the spectral data of healthy mussels and DSP toxins-contaminated mussels were acquired. To select optimal waveband subsets, a waveband selection algorithm with a Gaussian membership function based on fuzzy rough set theory was applied. Considering that detecting DSP toxins-contaminated mussels from healthy mussels was an imbalanced classification problem, an improved approach of twin support vector machines (TWSVM) was explored, which is based on a centered kernel alignment. The influences of parameters of the waveband selection algorithm and regularization hyperparameters of the improved TWSVM (ITWSVM) on the performance of models were analyzed. Compared to conventional SVM, TWSVM, and other state-of-the-art algorithms (such as multi-layer perceptron, extreme gradient boosting and adaptive boosting), our proposed model exhibited better performance in detecting DSP toxins and was little affected by the imbalance ratio. For the proposed model, the F-measure reached 0.9886, and detection accuracy reached 98.83%. We explored the physical basis for the detection model by analyzing the relationship between the occurrence of overtone and combination bands and selected wavebands. This study supports NIR spectroscopy as an innovative, rapid, and convenient analytical method to detect DSP toxins in mussels.

lncRNA BDNF-AS Attenuates Propofol-Induced Apoptosis in HT22 Cells by Modulating the BDNF/TrkB Pathway - Yu-Hai Xu; Yuan Luo; Jiang-Bei Cao; Yan-Hong Liu; Yu-Xiang Song; Xiao-Ying Zhang; Qiang Fu; Wei-Dong Mi; Hao Li (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Propofol is widely used as an intravenous anesthetic in clinical practice. Previous studies have indicated that propofol induces apoptosis in neurons. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophic factor, is associated with neuronal apoptosis. BDNF-AS, a relatively conserved long non-coding RNA, can reverse the transcription of BDNF. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of BDNF-AS in propofol-induced apoptosis in HT22 cells. HT22 cells were treated with various concentrations of propofol at different time points. BDNF-AS was silenced using BDNF-AS-targeting siRNA. TrkB was antagonized by the TrkB inhibitor, ANA-12. Flow cytometry, quantitative reverse-transcription PCR, and western blotting were performed to analyze apoptosis and the expression of genes and proteins, respectively. In propofol-treated HT22 cells, BDNF-AS was upregulated, and BDNF was downregulated in a time- and dose-dependent manner. BDNF-AS downregulation mediated by siRNA mitigated apoptosis, upregulated the expression of Bcl-2, and downregulated the expression of Bax and caspase-3, 7, and 9. ANA-12 downregulated the expression of Bcl-2, upregulated the expression of Bax and caspase-3, 7, and 9, and increased apoptosis. Our study implied that inhibition of BDNF-AS can decrease propofol-induced apoptosis by activating the BDNF/TrkB pathway. Thus, the BDNF-AS-BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway may be a valuable target for treating propofol-induced neurotoxicity.

(EPMA Journal, 2022)
Background Recognising the early signs of ischemic stroke (IS) in emergency settings has been challenging. Machine learning (ML), a robust tool for predictive, preventive and personalised medicine (PPPM/3PM), presents a possible solution for this issue and produces accurate predictions for real-time data processing. Methods This investigation evaluated 4999 IS patients among a total of 10,476 adults included in the initial dataset, and 1076 IS subjects among 3935 participants in the external validation dataset. Six ML-based models for the prediction of IS were trained on the initial dataset of 10,476 participants (split participants into a training set [80%] and an internal validation set [20%]). Selected clinical laboratory features routinely assessed at admission were used to inform the models. Model performance was mainly evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve. Additional techniques—permutation feature importance (PFI), local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME), and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)—were applied for explaining the black-box ML models. Results Fifteen routine haematological and biochemical features were selected to establish ML-based models for the prediction of IS. The XGBoost-based model achieved the highest predictive performance, reaching AUCs of 0.91 (0.90–0.92) and 0.92 (0.91–0.93) in the internal and external datasets respectively. PFI globally revealed that demographic feature age, routine haematological parameters, haemoglobin and neutrophil count, and biochemical analytes total protein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were more influential on the model’s prediction. LIME and SHAP showed similar local feature attribution explanations. Conclusion In the context of PPPM/3PM, we used the selected predictors obtained from the results of common blood tests to develop and validate ML-based models for the diagnosis of IS. The XGBoost-based model offers the most accurate prediction. By incorporating the individualised patient profile, this prediction tool is simple and quick to administer. This is promising to support subjective decision making in resource-limited settings or primary care, thereby shortening the time window for the treatment, and improving outcomes after IS.

MoOpy2 is essential for fungal development, pathogenicity, and autophagy in Magnaporthe oryzae - Ying‐Ying Cai; Jing‐Yi Wang; Xi‐Yu Wu; Shuang Liang; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Lin Li; Jian‐Ping Lu; Xiao‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Cheng Lin (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The development and pathogenicity of the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , the causal agent of destructive rice blast disease, require it to perceive external environmental signals. Opy2, an overproduction‐induced pheromone‐resistant protein 2, is a crucial protein for sensing external signals in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . However, the biological functions of the homologue of Opy2 in M. oryzae are unclear. In this study, we identified that MoOPY2 is involved in fungal development, pathogenicity, and autophagy in M. oryzae . Deletion of MoOPY2 resulted in pleiotropic defects in hyphal growth, conidiation, germ tube extension, appressorium formation, appressorium turgor generation, and invasive growth, therefore leading to attenuated pathogenicity. Furthermore, MoOpy2 participates in the Osm1 MAPK pathway and the Mps1 MAPK pathway by interacting with the adaptor protein Mst50. The interaction sites of Mst50 and MoOpy2 colocalized with the autophagic marker protein MoAtg8 in the preautophagosomal structure sites (PAS). Notably, the Δ Moopy2 mutant caused cumulative MoAtg8 lipidation and rapid GFP‐MoAtg8 degradation in response to nitrogen starvation, showing that MoOpy2 is involved in the negative regulation of autophagy activity. Taken together, our study revealed that MoOpy2 of M. oryzae plays an essential role in the orchestration of fungal development, appressorium penetration, autophagy and pathogenesis.

Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport‐0 ( ESCRT ‐0) are essential for fungal development, pathogenicity, autophagy and ER ‐phagy in Magnaporthe oryzae - Li‐Xiao Sun; Hui Qian; Meng‐Yu Liu; Ming‐Hua Wu; Yun‐Yun Wei; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Magnaporthe oryzae is an important plant pathogen that causes rice blast. Hse1 and Vps27 are components of ESCRT‐0 involved in the multivesicular body (MVB) sorting pathway and biogenesis. To date, the biological functions of ESCRT‐0 in M. oryzae have not been determined. In this study, we identified and characterized Hse1 and Vps27 in M. oryzae . Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 caused pleiotropic defects in growth, conidiation, sexual development and pathogenicity, thereby resulting in loss of virulence in rice and barley leaves. Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 triggered increased lipidation of MoAtg8 and degradation of GFP‐MoAtg8, indicating that ESCRT‐0 is involved in the regulation of autophagy. ESCRT‐0 was determined to interact with coat protein complex II (COPII), a regulator functioning in homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER homeostasis), and disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 also blocked activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER‐phagy). Overall, our results indicate that ESCRT‐0 plays critical roles in regulating fungal development, virulence, autophagy and ER‐phagy in M. oryzae .

Fishery Status and Rebuilding of Major Economic Fishes in the Largest Freshwater Lake in China Based on Limited Data - Yang Liu; Huiyun Fu; Linlong Wang; Li Lin; Gang He; Peifeng Fu; Changlai Wang; Yanping Zhang; Bin Kang (Fishes, 2022)
Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, possesses abundant fishery resources, but its fish stock status is still unclear. In this work, the stock status of and fishing efforts of nine major economic fishes in the Poyang Lake were estimated from 2000 to 2019 with a catch-based maximum sustainable yield (CMSY) model based on catch and resilience data. It was further predicted whether the biomass of those fishes could be restored to support maximum sustainable yield (Bmsy) under the policy of “Ten years fishing moratorium in the Yangtze River”. The results showed that goldfish Carassius auratus, grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella, and black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus suffered from higher fishing efforts and low biomass in the past 20 years; bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, yellow catfish Tachysurus fulvidraco, and common carp Cyprinus carpio responded differently to their fishing efforts; silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Amur catfish Silurus asotus, and mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi were underexploited. Six species were overfished in 2019, and their biomass would be expected to recover for sustainable exploitation during the fishing moratorium, except for M. piceus. This study provided a case study of feasible freshwater fishery evaluation in limnetic ecosystems.

Not out of the woods yet: Signatures of the prolonged negative genetic consequences of a population bottleneck in a rapidly re‐expanding wader, the black‐faced spoonbill Platalea minor - Shou‐Hsien Li; Yang Liu; Chia‐Fen Yeh; Yuchen Fu; Carol K. L. Yeung; Chun‐Cheng Lee; Chi‐Cheng Chiu; Tung Hui Kuo; Fang‐Tse Chan; Yu‐Chia Chen; Wen‐Ya Ko; Cheng‐Te Yao (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
The long‐term persistence of a population which has suffered a bottleneck partly depends on how historical demographic dynamics impacted its genetic diversity and the accumulation of deleterious mutations. Here we provide genomic evidence for the genetic effect of a recent population bottleneck in the endangered black‐faced spoonbill ( Platalea minor ) after its rapid population recovery. Our data suggest that the bird's effective population size, N e , had been relatively stable (7500–9000) since 22,000 years ago; however, a recent brief yet severe bottleneck ( N e = 20) which we here estimated to occur around the 1940s wiped out >99% of its historical N e in roughly three generations. Despite a >15‐fold population recovery since 1988, we found that black‐faced spoonbill population has higher levels of inbreeding (7.4 times more runs of homozygosity) than its sister species, the royal spoonbill ( P. regia ), which is not thought to have undergone a marked population contraction. Although the two spoonbills have similar levels of genome‐wide genetic diversity, our results suggest that selection on more genes was relaxed in the black‐faced spoonbill; moreover individual black‐faced spoonbills carry more putatively deleterious mutations (Grantham's score > 50), and may therefore express more deleterious phenotypic effects than royal spoonbills. Here we demonstrate the value of using genomic indices to monitor levels of genetic erosion, inbreeding and mutation load in species with conservation concerns. To mitigate the prolonged negative genetic effect of a population bottleneck, we recommend that all possible measures should be employed to maintain population growth of a threatened species.

Biogeography of culturable marine bacteria from both poles reveals that ‘everything is not everywhere’ at the genomic level - Qi‐Long Qin; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Qian‐Qian Cha; Sha‐Sha Liu; Xue‐Bing Ren; Hui‐Hui Fu; Mei‐Ling Sun; Dian‐Li Zhao; Andrew McMinn; Yin Chen; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yu‐Zhong Zhang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Based on 16S rRNA gene analyses, the same bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) are common to both the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, supporting the concept ‘everything is everywhere’. However, whether the same OTUs from both poles have identical genomes, i.e. whether ‘everything is still everywhere’ at the genomic level has not yet been examined systematically. Here, we isolated, sequenced and compared the genomes of 45 culturable marine bacteria belonging to three genera of Salinibacterium , Psychrobacter and Pseudoalteromonas from both polar oceans. The bacterial strains with identical 16S rRNA genes were common to both poles in every genus, and four identical genomes were detected in the genus Salinibacterium from the Arctic region. However, no identical genomes were observed from opposite poles in this study. Our data, therefore, suggest that ‘everything is not everywhere’ at the genomic level. The divergence time between bacteria is hypothesized to exert a strong impact on the bacterial biogeography at the genomic level. The geographical isolation between poles was observed for recently diverged, highly similar genomes, but not for moderately similar genomes. This study thus improves our understanding of the factors affecting the genomic‐level biogeography of marine microorganisms isolated from distant locations.

Isatis indigotica Fort . , as a common Chinese medicinal raw material, will lose its medicinal value if it blooms early, so it is highly valuable to clarify the induction mechanism of the vernalization of I. indigotica at low temperature. In this study, the concentrations of soluble sugar, proline, glutathione and zeatin in two germplasms of I. indigotica with different degrees of low temperature tolerance (Y1 and Y2) were determined at 10 days, 20 days and 30 days of low-temperature treatment, and the full-length transcriptome of 24 samples was sequenced by Nanopore sequencing with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). After that, the data of transcripts involved in the vernalization of I. indigotica at low temperature were obtained, and these transcripts were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The results revealed the massive accumulation of soluble sugar and proline in Y1 and Y2 after low temperature induction. A total of 18,385 new transcripts, 6168 transcription factors and 470 lncRNAs were obtained. Differential expression analysis showed that gibberellin, flavonoids, fatty acids and some processes related to low temperature response were significantly enriched. Eight key transcripts were identified by WGCNA, among which ONT.14640.1, ONT.9119.1, ONT.13080.2 and ONT.16007.1 encodes a flavonoid transporter, 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 3 (NCED3), growth factor gene and L-aspartate oxidase in plants, respectively . It indicated that secondary metabolites such as hormones and flavonoids play an important role in the vernalization of I. indigotica . qRT-PCR proved the reliability of transcriptome results. These results provide important insights on the low-temperature vernalization of I. indigotica , and provide a research basis for analyzing the vernalization mechanism of I. indigotica .

Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of fungal pathogens isolated from diseased fish in Xinjiang, China - Yan‐Zhen Zhang; Qing‐Dian Han; Long‐Wei Fu; Yong‐Xing Wang; Zhi‐Hai Sui; Yun‐Guo Liu (Journal of Fish Biology, 2021)
The outbreaks of fungal diseases in cultured fish have been severe in recent years, which is harmful to the healthy and sustainable development of fish farming. In this study, an investigation was conducted for significant fungal infections of 12 species of fish in four regions in Xinjiang, China, to understand the distribution of local fish fungal pathogens. Twenty‐six fungal strains with pathogenicity were isolated, and the challenge experiment showed that eight strains from Changji area had high infection rate to fish eggs. Based on internal transcribed spacer sequence data and molecular analysis, the 26 strains were classified into nine different species of six fungal genera. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all strains were divided into two clades, namely Cluster 1 (contains only the genus Mucor ) and Cluster 2 (consists of five small branches), and the distribution of strains from the same region was scattered in two clusters. There is no strict host selectivity for these fungi to infect fish. Mucor sp. are the main fungal pathogen of fish in these four regions, whereas Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Carassius auratus are two types of fish that were susceptible to pathogen. In addition, the environmental adaptability experiments showed that eight highly pathogenic strains have different adaptability to the environment, and their optimum temperature and pH were 25°C and 7.0, respectively, whereas the concentration of NaCl was negatively correlated with the growth of strains. Therefore, these results indicated that the coinfection of multiple fungal pathogens in a culture region should be considered in the future study.

Environmental contamination with SARS‐CoV ‐2 in COVID ‐19 hospitals in Wuhan, China, 2020 - Wei Liu; Dingchen Li; Chaojie Yang; Fangyan Chen; Ruizhong Jia; Leili Jia; Xinyi Xia; Shanhong Fan; Qing Tan; Yuehua Ke; Yong Chen; Haifeng Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has caused high number of infections and deaths of healthcare workers globally. Distribution and possible transmission route of SARS‐CoV‐2 in hospital environment should be clarified. We herein collected 431 environmental (391 surface and 40 air) samples in the intensive care unit (ICU) and general wards (GWs) of three hospitals in Wuhan, China from February 21 to March 4, 2020, and detected SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA by real‐time quantitative PCR. The viral positive rate in the contaminated areas was 17.8% (28/157), whereas there was no virus detected in the clean areas. Higher positive rate (22/59, 37.3%) was found in ICU than that in GWs (3/63, 4.8%). The surfaces of computer keyboards and mouse in the ICU were the most contaminated (8/10, 80.0%), followed by the ground (6/9, 66.7%) and outer glove (2/5, 40.0%). From 17 air samples in the contaminated areas, only one sample collected at a distance of around 30 cm from the patient was positive. Enhanced surface disinfection and hand hygiene effectively decontaminated the virus from the environment. This finding might help understand the transmission route and contamination risk of SARS‐CoV‐2 and evaluate the effectiveness of infection prevention and control measures in healthcare facilities.

Several outbreaks of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), which were characterized by yellow coloration and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissues, have occurred in China. The causative agent is called pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1. The mechanisms involved in pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 infection are still unclear. Transcriptome analysis of duck pancreas infected with classical-type DHAV-1 and pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 was carried out. Deep sequencing with Illumina-Solexa resulted in a total of 53.9 Gb of clean data from the cDNA library of the pancreas, and a total of 29,597 unigenes with an average length of 993.43 bp were generated by de novo sequence assembly. The expression levels of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, phosphoserine aminotransferase, and phosphoserine phosphatase, which are involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism pathways, were significantly downregulated in ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 compared with those infected with classical-type DHAV-1. These findings provide information regarding differences in expression levels of metabolism-associated genes between ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 and those infected with classical-type DHAV-1, indicating that intensive metabolism disorders may contribute to the different phenotypes of DHAV-1-infection.

Critical transitions and ecological resilience of large marine ecosystems in the Northwestern Pacific in response to global warming - Shuyang Ma; Dan Liu; Yongjun Tian; Caihong Fu; Jianchao Li; Peilong Ju; Peng Sun; Zhenjiang Ye; Yang Liu; Yoshiro Watanabe (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Natural systems can undergo critical transitions, leading to substantial socioeconomic and ecological outcomes. “Ecological resilience” has been proposed to describe the capacity of natural systems to absorb external perturbation and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedbacks. However, the mere application of ecological resilience in theoretical research and the lack of quantitative approaches present considerable obstacles for predicting critical transitions and understanding their mechanisms. Large marine ecosystems (LMEs) in the Northwestern Pacific are characterized by great biodiversity and productivity, as well as remarkable warming in recent decades. However, no information is available on the critical transitions and ecological resilience of LMEs in response to warming. Therefore, we applied an integrated resilience assessment framework to fisheries catch data from seven LMEs covering a wide range of regions, from tropical to subarctic, in the Northwestern Pacific to identify critical transitions, assess ecological resilience, and reconstruct folded stability landscapes, with a specific focus on the effects of warming. The results provide evidence of the occurrence of critical transitions, with fold bifurcation and hysteresis in response to increasing sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the seven LMEs. In addition, these LMEs show similarities and synchronies in structure variations and critical transitions forced by warming. Both dramatic increases in SST and small fluctuations at the corresponding thresholds may trigger critical transitions. Ecological resilience decreases when approaching the tipping points and is repainted as the LMEs shift to alternative stable states with different resilient dynamics. Folded stability landscapes indicate that the responses of LMEs to warming are discontinuous, which may be caused by the reorganization of LMEs as their sensitivity to warming changes. Our study clarifies the nonlinear responses of LMEs to anthropogenic warming and provides examples of quantifying ecological resilience in empirical systems at unprecedented spatial and temporal scales.

FgBUD14 is important for ascosporogenesis and involves both stage‐specific alternative splicing and RNA editing during sexual reproduction - Jie Liang; Xianhui Fu; Chaofeng Hao; Zhuyun Bian; Huiquan Liu; Jin‐Rong Xu; Guanghui Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary In wheat head blight fungus Fusarium graminearum , A‐to‐I RNA editing occurs specifically during sexual reproduction. Among the genes with premature stop codons (PSCs) that require RNA editing to encode full‐length proteins, FgBUD14 also had alternative splicing events in perithecia. In this study, we characterized the functions of FgBUD14 and its post‐transcriptional modifications during sexual reproduction. The Fgbud14 deletion mutant was slightly reduced in growth, conidiation and virulence. Although deletion of FgBUD14 had no effect on perithecium morphology, the Fgbud14 mutant was defective in crozier formation and ascus development. The FgBud14‐GFP localized to the apex of ascogenous hyphae and croziers, which may be related to its functions during early sexual development. During vegetative growth and asexual reproduction, FgBud14‐GFP localized to hyphal tips and both ends of conidia. Furthermore, mutations blocking the splicing of intron 2 that has the PSC site had no effect on the function of FgBUD14 during sexual reproduction but caused a similar defect in growth with Fgbud14 mutant. Expression of the non‐editable FgBUD14 Intron2‐TAA mutant allele also failed to complement the Fgbud14 mutant. Taken together, FgBUD14 plays important roles in ascus development, and both alternative splicing and RNA editing occur specifically to its transcripts during sexual reproduction in F . graminearum .

Resource status and protection strategies of mangroves in China - Xiu-Mei Fu; Hui-Ying Tang; Yang Liu; Meng-Qi Zhang; Shan-Shan Jiang; Fang Yang; Xiao-Yan Li; Chang-Yun Wang (Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2021)
Mangrove is a typical natural landscape with great ecological, social and economic functions and values, and should be highly valued and protected. However, in the past few decades, mangrove resources have suffered serious damage, and there are also many deficiencies in mangrove protection. Chinese mangroves, as an important part of the global mangroves, are of great research value. In the present study, the status and historical dynamic process of Chinese mangrove resources were investigated and discussed to illustrate the problems of resources from three aspects, including mangrove distribution, area and plant species. Based on field research, literature research and data analysis, it was revealed that Chinese mangroves are distributed in eight provinces and regions along the southeast coast with an area of 35,749.25 hm 2 , 38 species and 40 nature reserves. The protection situation and deficiencies were analyzed from the establishment and management of nature reserves. Based on the resource status and problems, reasonable strategies were proposed to protect and manage mangroves mainly from four aspects, including publicity and education, resources restoration and protection technology, legal system establishment, and comprehensive protection and management.

Impact of the observed SST frequency in the model initialization on the BSISO prediction - Xueyan Zhu; Xiangwen Liu; Anning Huang; Yang Zhou; Yang Wu; Zhipeng Fu (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
The impact of the observed sea surface temperature (SST) frequency in the model initialization on the prediction of the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) over the Western North Pacific (WNP) is investigated using the Beijing Climate Center Climate System Model. Three sets of hindcast experiments initialized by the observed monthly, weekly and daily SST data (referred to as the Exp_MSST, Exp_WSST and Exp_DSST, respectively) are conducted with 3-month integration starting from the 1st, 11th, and 21st day of each month in June–August during 2000–2014, respectively. The results show that the useful prediction skill of BSISO index reaches out to about 10 days in the Exp_MSST, and further increases by 1–2 days in the Exp_WSST and Exp_DSST. The skill differences among various hindcast experiments are especially apparent during the forecast time of 6–20 days. Focusing on the strong BSISO cases in this period, the BSISO activity and its related moist static energy (MSE) characteristics over the WNP are further diagnosed. It is found that from the Exp_MSST to the Exp_WSST and Exp_DSST, the enhanced BSISO prediction skill is associated with the more realistic variations of intraseasonal MSE and its tendency. Among the various budget terms that dominate the MSE tendency, the surface latent heat flux and MSE advection are evidently improved, with reduction of mean biases by more than 21% and 10%, respectively. Therefore, the better reproduced MSE variation may contribute to the more skillful BSISO forecast through improving the surface evaporation as well as atmospheric convergence and divergence that related to the BSISO activity. Our findings suggest the necessity of increasing the observed SST frequency (i.e., from monthly to weekly or daily) in the initialization process of coupled models to enhance the actual BSISO predictability, since some current subseasonal forecast operations and researches still use relatively low-frequency SST observations for the model initialization.

Becker; Andreas Hemp; Albert Barberán; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Diversity and community composition of soil microorganisms along the elevation climosequences have been widely studied, while the microbial metabolic potential, particularly in regard to carbon (C) cycling, remains unclear. Here, a metagenomic analysis of C related genes along five elevations ranging from 767 to 4190 m at Mount Kilimanjaro was analysed to evaluate the microbial organic C transformation capacities in various ecosystems. The highest gene abundances for decomposition of moderate mineralizable compounds, i.e. carbohydrate esters, chitin and pectin were found at the mid‐elevations with hump‐shaped pattern, where the genes for decompositions of recalcitrant C (i.e. lignin) and easily mineralizable C (i.e. starch) showed the opposite trend (i.e. U‐shaped pattern), due to high soil pH and seasonality in both low and high elevations. Notably, the gene abundances for the decompositions of starch, carbohydrate esters, chitin and lignin had positive relationships with corresponding C compounds, indicating the consistent responses of microbial functional profiles and metabolites to elevation climosequences. Understanding of adaptation of microbial communities, potential function and metabolites to elevation climosequences and their influencing factors provided a new insight for the regulation of terrestrial C storage.

Application of an improved multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis approach for estimation of the complexity of daily precipitation - Liangliang Zhang; Heng Li; Dong Liu; Qiang Fu; Mo Li; Muhammad Abrar Faiz; Shoaib Ali; Muhammad Imran Khan; Tianxiao Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Affected by climate change and high‐intensity human activities, the precipitation series is characterized by nonlinear complex fluctuations. In order to accurately quantify the precipitation complexity, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method was introduced to address the shortcomings of the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA), and the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method was proposed to explore the spatiotemporal variability and possible causes of precipitation complexity in Northeast China (NEC). The results showed that the traditional MFDFA method generally overestimated precipitation complexity. However, the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method improved the accuracy and reliability of precipitation complexity analysis. Daily precipitation series in NEC were characterized by multifractal with high uncertainty and anti‐persistence. The lowest precipitation complexity was 0.573, which appeared in Qian'an, Jilin Province, and the highest precipitation complexity was 1.108, which appeared in the Boketu, Inner Mongolia. The cities with high complexity of daily precipitation are sporadically distributed in the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. The average complexity is ~0.892, accounting for 22.5% of the total administrative districts. The complexity of daily precipitation showed a statistically insignificant downward trend with time. The precipitation dynamics structure in the southeast and northwest of the study area was complex, and the precipitation was less predictable than other regions. However, the precipitation dynamics structure was relatively simple and the precipitation was easily predictable in the northeastern, central and southwestern regions. Elevation, topographic relief, changes in water area, forest area and agricultural production were the main influencing factors for the differences in precipitation complexity. Results also revealed that increasing the area of forestland by means of protecting and breeding forests, via regulation of the forest ecosystems to alleviate the complex precipitation process will become a reliable approach to cope with nonstationary precipitation.

Long-Term Variability of Piscivorous Fish in China Seas Under Climate Change With Implication for Fisheries Management - Dan Liu; Yongjun Tian; Shuyang Ma; Jianchao Li; Peng Sun; Zhenjiang Ye; Caihong Fu; Kuowei Lan; Shijie Zhou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Due to persistent fishing expansion in the China Seas over the past six decades, fisheries resources have been over-exploited; as a result, exploited fish have become smaller in size and younger in age. Marine piscivorous fish constituted a large portion of Chinese fisheries catch, long-term variability of which has rarely been investigated despite intense fishing pressure and climate change. In this study, we attempt to identify their responses to climate change and fishing activities and to provide scientific basis for sustainable exploitation of these resources. Seven taxa from pelagic to demersal species inhabiting either cold-water or warm-water were selected to represent the piscivorous fish assemblage in the China Seas. Total catch of these piscivorous fish in the China Seas increased during the early 1990s, stabilizing around 1.2 million tons after 1997. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed evident interannual-decadal variabilities in the catch of these fish with step changes around 1985/86 and 1997/98. Individual taxa, however, showed different trends in catches with sharks, rays, and lizardfishes manifesting downward trends while Pacific cod, eels, and hairtail increasing. Common dolphinfish and Japanese-Spanish mackerel increased largely in the 1990s but declined slightly during the 2000s. Although there were temporal overlaps between climate change and fishing variabilities, results of gradient forest analyses indicated that fishing effort imposed the most important influence on piscivorous fish. And among all climate variables explored in this study, sea surface temperature (SST) especially that of the East China Sea, had greatest impacts on variations in piscivorous fish catch, which may have been gradually exacerbated by the continued high fishing intensity. In addition, significant changes were identified in the life history traits in the species we evaluated, such as reduced average body sizes and truncated age compositions, strongly indicating the effect of fishing. We therefore advocate precautionary fishery practices under climate change.

Assessing resource consumption at the subnational level: A novel accounting method based on provincial selected material consumption - Minghao Xu; Dingjiang Chen; Yadong Yu; Zengbo Chen; Yupeng Zhang; Bomin Liu; Yike Fu; Bing Zhu (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2021)
With considerable progress in material flow analysis (MFA), conducting MFA at the subnational level has become increasingly necessary but is restricted by problems such as domestic trade data deficiency. In this study, a novel material flow indicator—provincial selected material consumption (PSMC)—and its calculation method were proposed to estimate resource consumption mainly by the manufacturing and construction sectors at the subnational level. In order to overcome the restrictions mentioned above, PSMC accounting simplifies the value chain by selecting certain resources (i.e., considering raw materials and intermediate materials while omitting products), placing emphasis on downstream industries that drive material use from a bottom‐up perspective instead of transboundary flows. The reliability and feasibility of PSMC and the corresponding method were verified by using China as a case study and calculating PSMC of 31 provinces across the country. Furthermore, the sum of these values was compared with the result obtained on the national scale by using an economy‐wide MFA database. PSMC could depict the characteristics of subnational level material use. Moreover, the methodology appropriately balanced reliability against feasibility, which is a concerning issue when analyzing material flows at the subnational level. Overall, PSMC can function as a useful tool for sustainable resource management tailored to subnational areas as well as an important reference for policy making.

Kelp aquaculture in China: a retrospective and future prospects - Zi‐Min Hu; Ti‐Feng Shan; Jie Zhang; Quan‐Sheng Zhang; Alan T. Critchley; Han‐Gil Choi; Norishige Yotsukura; Fu‐Li Liu; De‐Lin Duan (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
Globally, China has the largest scale of kelp cultivation and production operations. However, its kelp aquaculture industry is suffering from declining germplasm diversity, degradation of agronomic traits, the presence of polluted environments, changing ocean conditions and increasing anthropological interference. This review covers two of the most commercially important kelp species in China, viz. Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida . It summarizes the history of their cultivation, production, economic and ecological benefits, their breeding programmes (e.g. inter‐ and intra‐specific hybridization and marker‐assisted selection) and efforts towards population genetic diversity and conservation. The article focuses on three significant challenges, for example genetic cross‐contamination between the wild and farmed kelp populations, ocean warming and ocean acidification. Accordingly, we outline the steps required to provide several intervention measures, for example (i) collection and preservation of wild and cultivated kelp germplasm; (ii) selection of suitable cultivation sites under changing environmental conditions; (iii) developing stress‐resistant cultivars; and finally, (iv) adoption of innovative cultivation models. The review concludes with genome‐based, designs for molecular breeding and calls for the establishment of an East Asian Kelp Consortium (EAKC). Collectively, the Chinese kelp industry could provide beneficial goods and services, for example bioenergy to fine chemicals and environmental benefits, such as carbon capture, pH amelioration and provision of habitat for many other marine species of commercial value. The strategies proposed in this article thus have the potential to not only improve but also reinvigorate the kelp industry in China and nearby Japan and Korea, in the context of both environmental health and economic benefits.

Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of major histocompatibility complex class I alpha gene of pufferfish ( Takifugu obscurus ) - Shengli Fu; Haisu Liu; Yu Huang; Junru Wang; Kun Qian; Mingmei Ding; Jianmin Ye (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play a key role in immune response in vertebrates. In this study, an MHC I alpha homolog gene ( PfMHC Ⅰα ) from pufferfish ( Takifugu obscurus ) was identified and its subcellular localization and expression patterns of PfMHC Ⅰα after challenge in vivo and in vitro were analysed. The open reading frame of PfMHC Ⅰα was 1,089 bp in length, encoding 362 aa. The immunofluorescence result revealed that PfMHC Ⅰα was presented on the membrane of lymphocytes. qRT‐PCR analysis indicated that PfMHC Ⅰα was expressed in all examined tissues, with the highest expression in skin, followed by the expression in gills and whole blood. After challenge of Aeromonas hydrophila or polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C) in vitro, the expression levels of PfMHC Ⅰα on pufferfish kidney lymphocytes were significantly up‐regulated, with the highest expression level at 48 hr post‐challenge. After infection with A. hydrophila or Poly I:C in vivo, the expression levels of PfMHC Ⅰα in the skin, whole blood and kidneys were significantly up‐regulated. Taken together, it is speculated that PfMHC Ⅰα associates with resistance to both intracellular and extracellular antigens and plays an important role in the host response against pathogen infection in pufferfish.

Appraising the Status of Fish Community Structure in the Yellow Sea Based on an Indicator-Testing Framework - Yuru Li; Shuyang Ma; Caihong Fu; Yongjun Tian; Jianchao Li; Peng Sun; Zhenjiang Ye; Yang Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Fish community structure (FCS) of the Yellow Sea (YS) is affected by multiple pressures. Quantifying the responses of indicators of FCS (IFCSs) to pressures is a key aspect of ecosystem-based fisheries management. Quantitative methodology has hitherto been rarely applied to evaluate the performance of ecological indicators in response to physical and anthropogenic pressures and management actions. In this study, we adopted a quantitative and flexible framework to quantify the performance of IFCSs in the YS as well as to identify a suite of operational IFCSs to evaluate the status of the FCS via two state-space approaches. A total of 22 IFCSs were tested for their responses to three types of pressures including anthropogenic activities (fishing), large-scale climate change, and regional environmental variables. Our results indicate that the majority of IFCSs have good performance in terms of sensitivity in their responses to pressures, but weak performance in terms of robustness. The IFCSs tend to respond stronger to fishing than to large-scale climatic indices and regional environmental indices both in terms of sensitivity and robustness. A final indicator suite of five best-performing IFCSs was identified. The five IFCSs include total catch (ToC), mean trophic level (MTL), the ratio of catch of large predatory groups to total catch (LPC/ToC), mean temperature of catch (MTC) [or alternatively catch of small pelagic groups (SPC)], and functional evenness based on thermal groups (T-J′FD), all of which show regime shift patterns consistent with climate change. Compared to a reference period (1960–1964), the status of the current FCS has been obviously changed, and the long-term trajectories of the final indicator suite is consistent with that of fishing pressure. This study demonstrates the applicability of the indicator-testing framework in appraising the status of FCS, and facilitates moving towards ecosystem-based fisheries management in the YS.
