The key iron assimilation genes ClFTR1 , ClNPS6 were crucial for virulence of Curvularia lunata via initiating its appressorium formation and virulence factors - Yuanyuan Lu; Jiaying Sun; Yibo Gao; Kexin Liu; Mingyue Yuan; Weida Gao; Fen Wang; Dandan Fu; Nan Chen; Shuqin Xiao; Chunsheng Xue (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Iron is virtually an essential nutrient for all organisms, to understand how iron contributes to virulence of plant pathogenic fungi, we identified ClFTR1 and ClNPS6 in maize pathogen Curvularia lunata ( Cochliobolus lunatus ) in this study. Disruption of ClNPS6 significantly impaired siderophore biosynthesis. ClFTR1 and ClNPS6 did mediate oxidative stress but had no significant impact on vegetative growth, conidiation, cell wall integrity and sexual reproduction. Conidial germination delayed and appressoria formation reduced in Δ Clftr1 comparing with wild type (WT) CX‐3. Genes responsible for conidial germination, appressoria formation, non‐host selective toxin biosynthesis and cell wall degrading enzymes were also downregulated in the transcriptome of Δ Clftr1 and Δ Clnps6 compared with WT. The conidial development, toxin biosynthesis and polygalacturonase activity were impaired in the mutant strains with ClFTR1 and ClNPS6 deletion during their infection to maize. ClFTR1 and ClNPS6 were upregulated expression at 12–24 and 48–120 hpi in WT respectively. ClFTR1 positively regulated conidial germination, appressoria formation in the biotrophy‐specific phase. ClNPS6 positively regulates non‐host selective toxin biosynthesis and cell wall degrading enzyme activity in the necrotrophy‐specific phase. Our results indicated that ClFTR1 and ClNPS6 were key genes of pathogen known to conidia development and virulence factors.

Virtual reference station-based computerized ionospheric tomography - Weijun Lu; Guanyi Ma; Qingtao Wan; Jinghua Li; Xiaolan Wang; Weizheng Fu; Takashi Maruyama (GPS Solutions, 2021)
In computerized ionospheric tomography (CIT) with ground-based GNSS, the voxels without satellite-receiver ray traversing cannot be reconstructed directly. We present a CIT algorithm based on virtual reference stations (VRSs), called VRS–CIT, to decrease the number of unilluminated voxels and improve the precision of the estimated ionospheric electron density (IED). The VRSs are set at the nodes of grids with a 0.5° × 0.5° resolution in longitude and latitude. We generate the virtual observations with the observations from nearby six or three stations selected according to azimuths and distances. The generation utilizes multi-quadric surface fitting with six stations and triangular linear interpolation with three stations. With the virtual observations added, the IED distribution is reconstructed by the multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique with the initial values obtained from IRI-2016. The performance of VRS–CIT is examined by using the data from 127 GNSS stations located in 24–46° N and 122–146° E to derive the IED every 30 min. The study focuses on April 29, 2014, with the adaptability of VRS–CIT analyzed by 12 days, evenly distributed around equinoxes and solstices of 2014. The accuracy of the virtual observation is about 1 TECU. Comparing to that derived from CIT with only real observations, the unsolvability of VRS–CIT declined by 4–12% for the whole region, and for the main area, the improvement can be up to 70%. Taking two IED profiles from radio occultation as reference measurements, the mean absolute error (MAE) of IED by VRS–CIT decreases by 6.88% and 8.43%, respectively. Comparing with slant total electron content (STEC) extracted from five additional GNSS stations, the MAE and the root mean square error of the estimated STEC can be reduced up to 17.24% and 33.81%, respectively.

A Near Infrared Spectroscopy System for Assessing Rehabilitation on Peripheral Arterial Occlusion Patients - Shao-Hung Lu; Cheng-Lun Tsai; Tieh-Cheng Fu; Po-Hung Chang; Shao-Ming Lu (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2020)
Purpose A near-infrared spectroscopy system was developed to evaluate peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). The wireless device can take measurements when patients are doing rehabilitation exercise. Methods Two LED modules with wavelengths of 740 nm, 808 nm and 850 nm were placed over 32 mm away from the photodiode to detect the deep backscattering from muscle tissue. The absorbance difference from the extent of tissue oxygenation was extracted using a modified Beer’s law. Measurements taken on different muscle groups were applied to determine which branch of artery is occluded. Results The changes in oxygenation of gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscle were recorded when PAOD patients were riding a stationary bicycle. The drop in oxygenation with exercise generally should recover within 15 min of continuing exercise. Otherwise, the artery is not capable to provide enough blood supply to the exercising muscles. Since gastrocnemius is the primary muscle used in biking exercise, the compensatory vasodilation in gastrocnemius leads to hypoperfusion in tibialis anterior muscle. Conclusion This NIRS system is helpful for detecting the changes in tissue oxygenation during exercise. Muscle hypoxia was more obvious during exercise when the artery had some degree of occlusion.

Developmental basis for flower sex determination and effects of cytokinin on sex determination in Plukenetia volubilis (Euphorbiaceae) - Yan Luo; Bang-Zhen Pan; Lu Li; Chen-Xuan Yang; Zeng-Fu Xu (Plant Reproduction, 2020)
Key message Cytokinin might be an important factor to regulate floral sex at the very early stage of flower development in sacha inchi. Abstract Sacha inchi ( Plukenetia volubilis , Euphorbiaceae) is characterized by having female and male flowers in a thyrse with particular differences. The mechanisms involved in the development of unisexual flowers are very poorly understood. In this study, the inflorescence and flower development of P. volubilis were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. We also investigated the effects of cytokinin on flower sex determination by exogenous application of 6-benzyladenine (BA) in P. volubilis . The floral development of P. volubilis was divided into eight stages, and the first morphological divergence between the male and female flowers was found to occur at stage 3. Both female and male flowers can be structurally distinguished by differences in the shape and size of the flower apex after sepal primordia initiation. There are no traces of gynoecia in male flowers or of androecia in female flowers. Exogenous application of BA effectively induced gynoecium primordia initiation and female flower development, especially at the early flower developmental stages. We propose that flower sex is determined earlier and probably occurs before flower initiation, either prior to or at inflorescence development due to the difference in the position of the female and male primordia in the inflorescence and in the time of the female and male primordia being initiated. The influence of cytokinin on female primordia during flower development in P. volubilis strongly suggests a feminization role for cytokinin in sex determination. These results indicate that cytokinin could modify the fate of the apical meristem of male flower and promote the formation of carpel primordia in P. volubilis.

Sky islands as foci for divergence of fig trees and their pollinators in southwest China - Jun‐Yin Deng; Rong‐Hua Fu; Stephen G. Compton; Mei Liu; Qin Wang; Chuan Yuan; Lu‐Shui Zhang; Yan Chen (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
The dynamics of populations and their divergence over time have shaped current levels of biodiversity and in the case of the “sky islands” of mountainous southwest (SW) China have resulted in an area of exceptional botanical diversity. Ficus tikoua is a prostrate fig tree subendemic to the area that displays unique intraspecific diversity, producing figs typical of different pollination modes in different parts of its range. By combining climate models, genetic variation in populations of the tree's obligate fig wasp pollinators and distributions of the different plant phenotypes, we examined how this unusual situation may have developed. We identified three genetically distinct groups of a single Ceratosolen pollinator species that have largely parapatric distributions. The complex topography of the region contributed to genetic divergence among the pollinators by facilitating geographical isolation and providing refugia. Migration along elevations in response to climate oscillations further enhanced genetic differentiation of the three pollinator groups. Their distributions loosely correspond to the distributions of the functionally significant morphological differences in the male figs of their host plants, but postglacial expansion of one group has not been matched by spread of its associated plant phenotype, possibly due to a major river barrier. The results highlight how interplay between the complex topography of the “sky island” complex and climate change has shaped intraspecies differentiation and relationships between the plant and its pollinator. Similar processes may explain the exceptional botanical diversity of SW China.

F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 regulate development and pathogenicity in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Huan‐Bin Shi; Nan Chen; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Shuang Liang; Lin Li; Jiao‐Yu Wang; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The Skp1‐Cul1‐F‐box‐protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligases are important parts of the ubiquitin system controlling many cellular biological processes in eukaryotes. However, the roles of SCF ubiquitin ligases remain unclear in phytopathogenic Magnaporthe oryzae . Here, we cloned 24 F‐box proteins and confirmed that 17 proteins could interact with MoSkp1, showing their potential to participate in SCF complexes. To determine their functions, null mutants of 21 F‐box‐containing genes were created. Among them, the F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 were found to be required for growth, development and full virulence. Fluorescent‐microscopy observations demonstrated that both MoFbx15 and MoCdc4 were localized to the nucleus, compared with MoFwd1, which was distributed in the cytosol. MoCdc4 and MoFwd1 bound to MoSkp1 via the F‐box domain, the deletion of which abrogated their function. Race tube and qRT‐PCR assays confirmed that MoFwd1 was involved in circadian rhythm by regulating transcription and protein stability of the core circadian clock regulator MoFRQ . Moreover, MoFWD1 also orchestrates conidial germination by influencing conidial amino acids pools and oxidative stress release. Overall, our results indicate that SCF ubiquitin ligases play indispensable roles in development and pathogenicity in M. oryzae .

Ecological niche evolution can promote or hinder the differentiation of taxa and determine their distribution. Niche‐mediated evolution may differ among climatic regimes, and thus, species that occur across a wide latitudinal range offer a chance to test these heterogeneous evolutionary processes. In this study, we examine (a) how many lineages have evolved across the continent‐wide range of the Eurasian nuthatch ( Sitta europaea ), (b) whether the lineages’ niches are significantly divergent or conserved and (c) how their niche evolution explains their geographic distribution. Phylogenetic reconstruction and ecological niche models (ENMs) showed that the Eurasian nuthatch contained six parapatric lineages that diverged within 2 Myr and did not share identical climatic niches. However, the niche discrepancy between these distinct lineages was relatively conserved compared with the environmental differences between their ranges and thus was unlikely to drive lineage divergence. The ENMs of southern lineages tended to cross‐predict with their neighbouring lineages whereas those of northern lineages generally matched with their abutting ranges. The coalescence‐based analyses revealed more stable populations for the southern lineages than the northern ones during the last glaciation cycle. In contrast to the overlapping ENMs, the smaller parapatric distribution suggests that the southern lineages might have experienced competitive exclusion to prevent them from becoming sympatric. On the other hand, the northern lineages have expanded their ranges and their current abutting distribution might have resulted from lineages adapting to different climatic conditions in allopatry. This study suggests that niche evolution may affect lineage distribution in different ways across latitude.

Quaternary climatic oscillations and geography are of primary importance in shaping intraspecific genetic diversity. We examined the diversification patterns and inferred processes for the green odorous frog ( Odorrana margaretae ) of western China. Species distribution modelling showed that the species has a continuous circular distribution around the Sichuan Basin while the basin itself is largely uninhabitable. Population genetic and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the species has a ring‐shaped divergent pattern. While the chain of populations around the Basin maintains a mostly gradual and continuous genetic variation, populations between the north and west showed little gene exchange. Two processes, glacial refugial history and geography, likely contributed to the observed patterns. Our genetic clustering analysis revealed two clusters, suggesting two refugial groups among the populations, one from the west and the other from the east. Postglacial expansion may have created two contact zones. One at the south had extensive population admixture and produced a gradual transition between the western and eastern populations. Consequently, this region has the highest genetic diversity and represents an evolutionary “melting pot.” In contrast, the second contact zone at the northwestern side of the Basin has limited admixture, suggesting partial reproductive isolation between the northern and western populations. Furthermore, an isolation‐by‐distance analysis revealed a strong correlation (Mantel r = 0.745) between the genetic and geographic distances, when we assumed that populations were connected following the circular distribution without gene flow across the NW contact zone. We also explored alternative explanations, such as a one‐refugium scenario. With its micro‐ring, the green odorous frog is poised to make an excellent model system for understanding the process of speciation.

Summary Pyricularia oryzae is the causal pathogen of rice blast disease. Autophagy has been shown to play important roles in P . oryzae development and plant infection. The P. oryzae endosomal system is highly dynamic and has been shown to be associated with conidiogenesis and pathogenicity as well. To date, the crosstalk between autophagy and endocytosis has not been explored in P. oryzae . Here, we identified three P. oryzae VPS9 domain‐containing proteins, PoVps9, PoMuk1 and PoVrl1. We found that PoVps9 and PoMuk1 are localized to vesicles and are each co‐localized with PoVps21, a recognized marker of early endosomes. Deletion of PoVPS9 resulted in severe defects in endocytosis and autophagosome degradation and impaired the localization of PoVps21 to endosomes. Additionally, deletion of the PoMUK1 gene in the Δ Povps9 mutant background exhibited more severe defects in development, autophagy and endocytosis compared with the Δ Povps9 mutant. Pull‐down assay showed that PoVps9 interacts with PoVps21, PoRab11 and PoRab1, which have been verified to participate in endocytosis. Furthermore, yeast two‐hybrid and co‐immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that PoVps9 directly interacts with the GDP form of PoVps21. Thus, PoVps9 is a key protein involved in autophagy and in endocytosis.

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 .

Late Quaternary glacial advances in the eastern Qilianshan, north‐eastern Tibet, as inferred from luminescence dating of fluvioglacial sediments - Gang Hu; Chao‐Lu Yi; Jia‐Fu Zhang; Jin‐Hua Liu; Tao Jiang; Sheng‐Hua Li (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2016)
The Qilianshan [ shan means ‘mountain(s)’ in Chinese] are important for understanding the Quaternary glaciations which occurred along the north‐eastern margins of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Two sets of moraines identified in the Gangshika Valley on the southern slopes of the Qilianshan, and in the Jindonggou Valley on the northern slopes of the Lenglongling Ridge in the eastern Qilianshan, were dated using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. The D e values of the sediments were determined using single aliquot regeneration (SAR) and ‘global standardized growth curve’ (gSGC) procedures. The gSGC method was first applied to glacial sediment and proved to be adaptable. Based on D e distribution analysis, and a comparison between the ages of coarse‐grained (90–125 μm) quartz, we concluded that the minimum age model (MAM) OSL age obtained may be closer to the burial age of the sediments. The first set of moraines in the Gangshika Valley was formed at 18.1 ± 1.8 ka. The second set of moraines in both the Gangshika and the Jindonggou valleys was mainly formed at ∼12.5–10.7 ka, consistent with the Younger Drays chronozone, most probably covering the moraines produced at 14.3 ± 1.4 ka. These results indicate that the glaciers along the Lenglongling Ridge were sensitive to abrupt decreases in temperature.

Interannual variability of summer monsoon convective and stratiform precipitations in East Asia during 1998–2013 - Daren Lu; Yuanjian Yang; Yunfei Fu (International Journal of Climatology, 2016)
In this paper, interannual variations of convective and stratiform precipitations in summer East Asian monsoon ( SEAM ) dominion are analysed using 16‐year (1998–2013) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission ( TRMM ) precipitation radar ( PR ) rain products ( 2A25 and 3A25 ). It is found that the climatological mean patterns of convective and stratiform rain rates ( RRs ) are generally similar to each other, but the area fraction ( AF ) of stratiform precipitation can always reach about 80% and dominates in summer East Asia. Nonetheless, convective precipitation produces similar rainfall quantity with stratiform rainfall. For the RR , AF and contribution fraction ( CF ), their interannual standard deviation and coefficient of variation ( CV ) spatial patterns are similar between summer convective and stratiform precipitations in East Asia, because of the fact that they are all maybe influenced by SEAM . Differently, only the intensity of interannual variability (i.e. CV ) for convective precipitation AF is much greater than that for stratiform precipitation, while CV for both convective and stratiform precipitations RR / CF are similar in most areas. Moreover, the interannual variability of SEAM is more highly correlated with that of RR for convective precipitation than that for stratiform precipitation in most land regions. While the opposite conclusion is found in ocean regions. Generally, the SEAM intensity in the lower troposphere mainly controls interannual variability of the atmospheric stability and both stratiform and convective precipitations RR. Then, atmospheric stability variation further modulates the AF and CF variations of both stratiform and convective precipitations on the interannual scale. This work mainly provides possible evidence of linkage between large‐scale circulation and convective and stratiform precipitations on the interannual scale. It suggests that the possible dominant mechanism should be explored using more observations and together with model simulations in the future work.

Summary R ab GTP ases are required for vesicle–vacuolar fusion during vacuolar biogenesis in fungi. To date, little is known about the biological functions of the R ab small GTP ase components in M agnaporthe oryzae . In this study, we investigated MoYpt 7 of M . oryzae , a homologue of the small R as‐like GTP ase Ypt7 in S accharomyces cerevisiae . Cellular localization assays showed that MoYpt 7 was predominantly localized to vacuolar membranes. Using a targeted gene disruption strategy, a Δ MoYPT7 mutant was generated that exhibited defects in mycelial growth and production of conidia. The conidia of the Δ MoYPT7 mutant were malformed and defective in the formation of appressoria. Consequently, the Δ MoYPT7 mutant failed to cause disease in rice and barley. Furthermore, the Δ MoYPT7 mutant showed impairment in autophagy, breached cell wall integrity, and higher sensitivity to both calcium and heavy metal stress. Transformants constitutively expressing an active MoYPT7 allele ( MoYPT7 ‐ CA , G ln67 L eu) exhibited distinct phenotypes from the Δ MoYPT7 mutant. Expression of MoYPT7 ‐ CA in MoYpt 7 reduced pathogenicity and produced more appressoria‐forming single‐septum conidia. These results indicate that MoYPT7 is required for fungal morphogenesis, vacuole fusion, autophagy, stress resistance and pathogenicity in M . oryzae .
