Effect of foliar spraying of organic and inorganic selenium fertilizers during different growth stages on selenium accumulation and speciation in rice - Zhengqing Yuan; Weixiong Long; Ting Liang; Menghan Zhu; Aoyun Zhu; Xiaoyun Luo; Lu Fu; Zhongli Hu; Renshan Zhu; Xianting Wu (Plant and Soil, 2023)
Aims Most crops are supplemented with selenium (Se) through the exogenous addition of inorganic Se fertilizer. There is a lack of in-depth research on organic Se fertilizers. Meanwhile, the dosage range between human Se deficiency and Se toxicity is narrow, so the Se content of agricultural products needs to be controlled within a reasonable interval. Methods Se accumulation and speciation in rice were analyzed and compared during three different growth stages (late tillering stage, initiate heading stage, and full heading stage) using three Se fertilizers: selenite, fermented Se, and potassium selenocyanoacetate (Se-AAF) via the foliar application. Results The Se content in rice sprayed with organic Se fertilizer was controlled in the relatively safe range and met the human Se supplement requirement compared to the sprayed sodium selenite, which was too high of a dose. The percentage of organic Se and protein Se in brown rice was found to be similar in all three Se fertilizers. The highest organic Se content of 91.57% was found in the grain of rice at the full heading stage by spraying Se-AAF. The main Se species in the grain was selenomethionine (SeMet), which reached 80% of the total Se. Se-methyl selenocysteine(SeMeCys) was found only in Se-AAF. The grain quality showed that all three Se fertilizers increased the consistency of gelatinization. Conclusions Appropriately delaying the spraying time and selecting organic Se fertilizer as the Se source can help to produce green and safe selenium-rich rice.

Autophagic Clearance of Lipid Droplets Alters Metabolic Phenotypes in a Genetic Obesity–Diabetes Mouse Model - Ningxie Chen; Boxun Lu; Yuhua Fu (Phenomics, 2023)
Lipid droplets (LDs) are intracellular organelles that store neutral lipids, and their aberrant accumulation is associated with many diseases including metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. Meanwhile, the potential pathological contributions of LDs in these diseases are unclear, likely due to a lack of chemical biology tools to clear LDs. We recently developed LD-clearance small molecule compounds, Lipid Droplets·AuTophagy TEthering Compounds (LD·ATTECs), that are able to induce autophagic clearance of LDs in cells and in the liver of db/db (C57BL/6J Lepr db /Lepr db ) mouse model, which is a widely used genetic model for obesity–diabetes. Meanwhile, the potential effects on the metabolic phenotype remain to be elucidated. Here, using the metabolic cage assay and the blood glucose assay, we performed phenotypic characterization of the effects of the autophagic degradation of LDs by LD·ATTECs in the db/db mouse model. The study reveals that LD·ATTECs increased the oxygen uptake of mice and the release of carbon dioxide, enhanced the heat production of animals, partially enhanced the exercise during the dark phase, decreased the blood glucose level and improved insulin sensitivity. Collectively, the study characterized the metabolic phenotypes induced by LD·ATTECs in an obesity–diabetes mouse model, revealing novel functional impacts of autophagic clearance of LDs and providing insights into LD biology and obesity–diabetes pathogenesis from the phenotypic perspective.

Identification and Characterization of Bacillus subtilis B9: A Diazotrophic Plant Growth-Promoting Endophytic Bacterium Isolated from Sugarcane Root - Yi-ning Di; Ling Kui; Pratiksha Singh; Lu-feng Liu; Lin-yan Xie; Li-lian He; Fu-sheng Li (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2023)
Plant endophytic microorganisms, which can enhance plant growth and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, are untapped resources with large potential applications for crop production. However, the endophytic community is influenced by multiple factors, such as host genetics, the environment, and other microbes. Thus, it is important to characterize well-adapted endophytes from native crops. We isolated 43 endophytic bacteria from sugarcane cultivar Yunzhe-99-91. All these 43 isolates were examined in vitro for nitrogenase activity and the ability to dissolve phosphorus and produce siderophore. One of these strains, B9, identified as Bacillus subtilis and showed maximum plant growth promotion, was selected for detailed studies. B9 promoted the production of organic acids such as propionic acid, acetic acid, malic acid and citric acid, and the production of phytohormones, including indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, 6-benzyladenine, and zeatin. Moreover, B9 significantly promoted the growth of sugarcane plantlets and increased the content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the seedlings by 29.26%, 50.78%, and 15.49%, respectively. The photosynthetic rate, root development, and chlorophyll content were also improved with varying degrees compared to the non-inoculated control. The cotyledon and hypocotyl of sugarcane gems germinated faster when co-cultured with the B9 strain compared with control group. Colonization assay showed that B9 was mainly colonized in the roots, followed by the stems and leaves. In conclusion, the positive interaction between endophytic strain B9 and sugarcane may provide long-lasting benefits and a direction for developing and utilizing B9 as a biofertilizer for sugarcane cultivation to decrease fertilizer application.

Technical characteristics and coating formation mechanism of gilded silver products unearthed from the Consort Tomb of Emperor Shengzong of the Liao dynasty - Yanbing Shao; Xuan Lu; Wenbin Fu; Fengrui Jiang; Junchang Yang; Zhiyong Gai; Limin Dong (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2023)
Compared with other gold plating processes, mercury gilding was widely used in ancient China due to the less consumption of gold and excellent adhesion between the gold layer and substrate. Herein, the comprehensive analyses of the silver crown and boots unearthed from the Consort Tombs of Emperor Shengzong (圣宗萧贵妃) of the Liao (辽) Dynasty reveal the surface composition and structural characteristics and also the unique multilayered structure and cross-sectional compositional distribution of the gold layer. First, the existence of mercury on the golden surface of cultural relics, as well as the unique porous structure and granular surface morphology, indicate that the artifacts were probably processed using mercury gilding. In addition, the intermetallic compound, i.e., Au 5 Hg, in the gold layer indicates that the processing temperature was 388–419 ℃; thus, the formation mechanism was the transformation of solid solution in the amalgam to intermetallic compound during the heating of Au-Hg system. Moreover, the cross-sectional transition layer is mainly composed of Ag and Hg due to the interstitial diffusion of mercury atoms at room temperature and vacancy diffusion of silver atoms during the heating process, bonding the gold layer with the substrate. Obviously, the bonding mechanism of the gold layer and substrate was interstitial diffusion and vacancy diffusion within the Ag-Hg system. The current work reveals the special multilayered cross-section of silver gilding relics and shows that mercury played a crucial role in both the formation of the gold layer and bonding between the gold layer and substrate during the silver gilding process.

The MocR family transcriptional regulator DnfR has multiple binding sites and regulates Dirammox gene transcription in Alcaligenes faecalis JQ135 - Si‐Qiong Xu; Xiao Wang; Lu Xu; Ke‐Xin Wang; Yin‐Hu Jiang; Fu‐Yin Zhang; Qing Hong; Jian He; Shuang‐Jiang Liu; Ji‐Guo Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2023)
Microbial ammonia oxidation is vital to the nitrogen cycle. A biological process, called Dirammox ( dir ect amm onia ox idation, NH 3 →NH 2 OH→N 2 ), has been recently identified in Alcaligenes ammonioxydans and Alcaligenes faecalis . However, its transcriptional regulatory mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. The present study characterized a new MocR‐like transcription factor DnfR that is involved in the Dirammox process in A. faecalis strain JQ135. The entire dnf cluster was composed of 10 genes and transcribed as five transcriptional units, that is, dnfIH , dnfR , dnfG , dnfABCDE and dnfF . DnfR activates the transcription of dnfIH , dnfG and dnfABCDE genes, and represses its own transcription. The intact 1506‐bp dnfR gene was required for activation of Dirammox. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and DNase I footprinting analyses showed that DnfR has one binding site in the dnfH ‐ dnfR intergenic region and two binding sites in the dnfG ‐ dnfA intergenic region. Three binding sites of DnfR shared a 6‐bp repeated conserved sequence 5′‐GGTCTG‐N 17 ‐GGTCTG‐3′ which was essential for the transcription of downstream target genes. Cysteine and glutamate act as possible effectors of DnfR to activate the transcription of transcriptional units of dnfG and dnfABCDE , respectively. This study provided new insights in the transcriptional regulation mechanism of Dirammox by DnfR in A. faecalis JQ135.

Investigation and optimization of methane purification method for natural gas by two-column gas chromatography: A preliminary test for doubly substituted isotopologue (13CH3D) measurements - Tiantian Sun; Jun Cao; Haijun Qiu; Piaoer Fu; Hailong Lu; Zijie Ning; Daohua Chen; Yinan Deng; Shengxiong Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
In this study, optimization of the methane purification method by gas chromatography (GC) is described for the determination of methane clumped isotope compositions of natural gas. Methane was purified under the carrying of helium on the assembly line composed of a vacuum apparatus and two-column gas chromatography. Once methane was detected by the passive thermal conductivity detector (TCD) on the GC, it was collected through a silica trap immersed in liquid nitrogen. Optimum conditions of chromatographic column diameter (1/4 inch outside diameter), temperature (25 °C), and flow rate (50.8 ml min -1 ) have been determined. When N 2 /CH 4 (by volume) is<8.7%, the purification experiment can be undertaken once, while a double purification experiment is required when natural gas samples have an N 2 /CH 4 of 8.7-78.0%. The purification method yielded a purity of 98.4-98.8% with a recovery of 97.3-98.7% on purified methane samples verified by GC determination. N 2 was the main source that contributed to the loss of the purity, however, the N-bearing isobaric interferences ( 14 NH 3 + and 14 NH 4 + ) in purified samples presented<1‰ intensity compared to the methane isotopologues ( 13 CH 4 + and 13 CH 3 D + ), thus we concluded that these interferences have no impact on clumped isotope determinations. The conventional δ 13 C VPDB and δD VSMOW values of purified methane samples were consistent with those of pure methane. A preliminary measurement of Δ 13 CH 3 D (working gas) of purified samples revealed differences of -0.27‰, which was within the internal precision of the measurement. The entire process of a single purification can be completed within two hours. Our proposed method could be used for the clumped isotope purification of natural gas with higher than ~50% methane.

Bilateral asymmetry of otoliths from Collichthys lucidus of different sizes in Haizhou Bay and Xiangshan Bay - Shuo Zhang; Xiao Zhang; Shike Gao; Ruilin Shu; Guanghui Fu; Jikun Lu (Journal of Fish Biology, 2023)
In recent years, the frequent occurrence of most human activities has seriously affected the structure and functioning of coastal ecosystems. The asymmetric relationship between the left and right otoliths of fish is often used to test the difference in fluctuating asymmetry (FA) reflected by the square of the coefficient of asymmetric variation ( CV 2 a ), which can be regarded as an important step in the study of marine environmental pressure and implementation of offshore ecological restoration. In this study, the authors tested the bilateral FA of Collichthys lucidus in the coastal waters of Haizhou Bay, Jiangsu, and Xiangshan Bay, Zhejiang, China, using four sagittal otolith characters (length, width, perimeter and area) as biological characters. The results showed that the value of CV 2 a in otolith width (more sensitive to environmental pressure) of C. lucidus in Xiangshan Bay was higher than that in Haizhou Bay, indicating that the environmental pressure on Xiangshan Bay was relatively high. The authors did not find any significant differences in the FA of otoliths between different body sizes of C. lucidus , which may be related to the short‐distance migration in different regions and the dietary shifts in the life history of this species. The results have conservation and management implications for this population.

Novel SNPs in the 3′UTR Region of GHRb Gene Associated with Growth Traits in Striped Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), a Valuable Aquaculture Species - Liang-Sen Jiang; Zhuo-Hao Ruan; Zhi-Qiang Lu; Yi-Fu Li; Yuan-Yuan Luo; Xi-Quan Zhang; Wen-Sheng Liu (Fishes, 2022)
The striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is an important freshwater aquaculture species in Southeast Asian countries due to its rapid growth. The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a significant regulatory factor for the growth axis and has great potential applications in animal genetic breeding. This study aims to characterize the GHRb cDNA of the striped catfish and analyze the distribution of its mRNA. Screening of single nucleotide polymorphisms’ (SNPs) loci and diplotypes was performed to provide basic information for the assisted selection of molecular markers in genetic breeding. The results showed that the GHRb cDNA of striped catfish had 2791 bp, which encoded for 569 amino acids. In a phylogenyic study, the ghrb of the striped catfish was clustered with those of other catfish and they were highly homologous. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments showed that GHRb mRNA was expressed in ten different organs of the striped catfish, with the highest expression level in the liver. Five SNP and a haplotype block were identified in the 3′UTR of the GHRb gene using the direct sequencing of 307 individuals. Three haplotypes were found and four diplotypes were constructed. The association analysis revealed that these polymorphisms were significantly associated with growth traits in the striped catfish (p

Multi-Omics Study on the Molecular Mechanisms of Tetraodon Nigroviridis Resistance to Exogenous Vibrio Parahaemolyticus Infection - Shoujia Jiang; Lijun Fu; Zijian Gao; Hengwei Deng; Yong Zhang; Xinxin You; Qiong Shi; Danqi Lu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important marine pathogen that causes inflammation and even death in teleost fishes. It has brought significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry as well as high risks to the sustainable development of marine fisheries. In the present study, the fish Tetraodon nigroviridis and the bacterial pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus were used to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the immune response of T. nigroviridis to V. parahaemolyticus exogenous infection. The microRNA (miRNA)–mRNA–protein omics and corresponding experimental validation, followed by comparative analysis, revealed several differentially expressed genes involved in various components of the immune system, including the following: complement system, chemokines, lysosomes, phagocytes, B-cell receptor signaling pathway, T-cell receptor signaling pathway, Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway, and phospholipid metabolism, among others. Especially, the complements component 3 (C3) gene and protein expression levels were significantly higher after V. parahaemolyticus infection, and miRNAs targeting C3, including mir-6089-y, mir-460-y, and mir-1584-x, were significantly down-regulated. The gene and protein expression levels of complement 1 subunit qA (C1qA) were significantly down-regulated, while mir-203 targeting C1qA was significantly up-regulated. Overall, four complement genes (C1qA, IG, C3, and C5) , which are key genes in the classical pathway of complement system activation for inflammatory response, were identified. Evolutionary analysis suggested that T. nigroviridis, acquired an increased ability to recognize pathogens by evolving a more complex complement system than terrestrial vertebrates. In addition, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction showed high consistency with the obtained multi-omics results, indicating the reliability of the sequencing data generated in the present study. In summary, our findings can serve as a fundamental basis for further in-depth multi-omics studies on the inflammatory processes of aquatic pathogens hindering fish sustainable production.

Decreasing spring persistent rainfall over the Yangtze‐Huai River Valley of China during 1960–2019 and its possible causes - Weian Tang; Yunfei Fu; Xujia Wang; Yanyu Lu; Min Xu; Wusan Xie; Awei Song (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Based on the observations, reanalysis and sea surface temperature (SST) data sets, the spatio‐temporal distribution characteristics of the decreasing spring persistent rainfall (SPR) over the Yangtze‐Huai River Valley (YHRV) of China during 1960–2019 are revealed, and corresponding causes of the first leading two modes from the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis on the SPR are also explored. Results indicate that the SPR decreases northwards and exhibits spatially consistent declining trends over the YHRV, with the maximum along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, attributing to the decrease in total spring rainfall over the YHRV. The first EOF mode of the SPR (EOF‐1) over the YHRV shows a spatial mono‐sign pattern, while the South Indian Ocean dipole plays an important role in modulating its variability. Among them, the warming SST in the southwestern Indian Ocean is more important for the spatially consistent decrease of the SPR over the YHRV. The second EOF mode of the SPR (EOF‐2) over the YHRV exhibits a spatial distribution of north–south dipole pattern, while the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) contributes to the variation of EOF‐2. The inter‐decadal decreases of SPR at different rates are attributed to the transition between the first leading two EOF modes of SPR associated with the inter‐decadal changes of the external forcing factors and atmospheric circulations. From mid‐1970s to 1990s when the southern Indian Ocean SST increases rapidly, a mono‐sign pattern of the SPR is observed with a rapid decrease SPR over the whole YHRV. Since the mid‐1980s, when the NAO gradually reaches a predominantly positive phase, the SPR exhibits an increasing trend over the south of the YHRV, while a decreasing trend over the north part, causing the overall slowing of the precipitation decreasing trend.

microRNA (miR‐KT‐635) encoded by Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 regulates the viral replication with targeting to the ORF23 - Qikang Chen; Yang Luo; Yan Fu; Zizhao Feng; Liqun Lu; Yousheng Jiang; Dan Xu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Herpesviruses have been reported to be able to encode and express functional viral microRNAs that target both viral and cellular transcripts. In our previous studies, we found a new miRNA miR‐KT‐635 encoded by Cyprinid herpesvirus 2, which is predicted to target viral genes and cellular genes involved in innate immune signalling pathway and apoptosis. However, the function and target gene of miR‐KT‐635 are not proved. In this study, the regulating target gene of miR‐KT‐635 was proved as the viral gene ORF23 directly, the target point sequence on gene was verified and miR‐KT‐635 was identified to regulate the expression of ORF23 protein. According to the bioinformatics analysis, the tRNA domain and ribosome domain in the protein sequence of ORF23 were found to share high homology with R2i and P53R2i, which are related to the ribonucleotide reductase small subunit in the host (transform NTP to dNTP). Within expectations, silencing of viral ORF23 or transfecting miR‐KT‐635 mimics in Carassius auratus gibelio caudal fin cell line (GiCF) could suppress viral propagation significantly.

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 .

Uncoupling protein 1 knockout aggravates isoproterenol-induced acute myocardial ischemia via AMPK/mTOR/PPARα pathways in rats - Daorong Hou; Heling Fu; Yuan Zheng; Dan Lu; Yuanwu Ma; Yuan Yin; Lianfeng Zhang; Dan Bao (Transgenic Research, 2022)
Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) was found exclusively in the inner membranes of the mitochondria of brown adipose tissue (BAT). We found that UCP1 was also expressed in heart tissue and significantly upregulated in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) rat model. The present study is to determine the underlying mechanism involved in the UCP1 upregulation in ISO-induced AMI rat model. The Ucp1 −/− rats were generated by CRISPR-Cas9 system and presented decreased BAT volume. 2-months old Sprague Dawley (SD) wild-type (WT) and Ucp1 −/− rats were treated with ISO intraperitoneally 30 mg/kg once a day for 3 consecutive days to establish AMI model. In saline group, the echocardiographic parameters, serum markers of myocardial injury cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), oxidant malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) or fibrosis were comparable between WT and Ucp1 −/− rats. ISO treatment induced worse left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, increased higher cTnI, CK-MB and MDA and decreased lower SOD level in Ucp1 −/− rats compared with that of WT rats. Ucp1 −/− rats also presented lower myocardial phosphocreatine (PCr)/ATP-ratio, which demonstrated worse cardiac energy regulation defect. ISO treatment induced the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation, subsequently the phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor α (PPARα) activation in WT rats, whereas activation of AMPK/mTOR/PPARα pathways significantly inhibited in Ucp1 −/− rats. To sum up, UCP1 knockout aggravated ISO-induced AMI by inhibiting AMPK/mTOR/PPARα pathways in rats. Increasing UCP1 expression in heart tissue may be a cytoprotective therapeutic strategy for AMI.

Mathematical analysis of models of competition between two identical species moving at different rates of symmetric diffusion in heterogeneous environments show that the slower mover excludes the faster one. The models have not been tested empirically and lack inclusions of a component of directed movement toward favourable areas. To address these gaps, we extended previous theory by explicitly including exploitable resource dynamics and directed movement. We tested the mathematical results experimentally using laboratory populations of the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans . Our results not only support the previous theory that the species diffusing at a slower rate prevails in heterogeneous environments but also reveal that moderate levels of a directed movement component on top of the diffusive movement allow species to coexist. Our results broaden the theory of species coexistence in heterogeneous space and provide empirical confirmation of the mathematical predictions.

Root trait variation of seed plants from China and the primary drivers - Nannan An; Nan Lu; Bojie Fu; Weiliang Chen; Maierdang Keyimu; Mengyu Wang (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Root traits play important roles in plant growth and ecosystem processes. Clarifying the primary drivers of variation in root traits is indispensable for understanding and predicting ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Location China. Taxon Seed plant species. Methods We compiled six key first‐order root traits of 437 seed plant species from different biomes, phylogenetic affiliations, plant growth forms and mycorrhizal types in China. The six root traits included root diameter (RD), root tissue density (RTD), specific root length (SRL), root C content (RCC), root N content (RNC) and root C:N ratio (RCN), which are highly relevant for plant growth rate and resource acquisition. The phylogenetic linear mixed model was employed to examine the effects of climate and soil variables on root traits and to quantify the relative contributions of environment, phylogeny, plant growth form and mycorrhizal type to root trait variation. Results Environment explained most of the variations in RTD and RCC (37.4% and 24.2%, respectively). Mean precipitation of the wettest quarter and mean diurnal temperature range were the main climate drivers of RTD and RCC, respectively. Phylogeny contributed the most to the variation in RD, RNC and RCN (27.0%–52.3%). SRL showed strong links to both environment and phylogeny (35.0% and 27.8%, respectively). However, plant growth form and mycorrhizal type had little effect on root trait variation ( Main conclusions Our study revealed the primary drivers of variations in different root traits of seed plants in China. Climate variability and seasonality variables were more important factors driving root trait variation than the annual averages of temperature and precipitation. Incorporating the different responses of root traits to changing environments and phylogenetic affiliations observed in the present study into terrestrial ecosystem models will improve our ability to predict future vegetation distribution and ecosystem functions under global change.
