A comparative mapping of plant species diversity using ensemble learning algorithms combined with high accuracy surface modeling - Yapeng Zhao; Xiaozhe Yin; Yan Fu; Tianxiang Yue (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Plant species diversity (PSD) has always been an essential component of biodiversity and plays an important role in ecosystem functions and services. However, it is still a huge challenge to simulate the spatial distribution of PSD due to the difficulties of data acquisition and unsatisfactory performance of predicting algorithms over large areas. A surge in the number of remote sensing imagery, along with the great success of machine learning, opens new opportunities for the mapping of PSD. Therefore, different machine learning algorithms combined with high-accuracy surface modeling (HASM) were firstly proposed to predict the PSD in the Xinghai, northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China. Spectral reflectance and vegetation indices, generated from Landsat 8 images, and environmental variables were taken as the potential explanatory factors of machine learning models including least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso), ridge regression (Ridge), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Random Forest (RF). The prediction generated from these machine learning methods and in situ observation data were integrated by using HASM for the high-accuracy mapping of PSD including three species diversity indices. The results showed that PSD was closely associated with vegetation indices, followed by spectral reflectance and environmental factors. XGBoost combined with HASM (HASM-XGBoost) showed the best performance with the lowest MAE and RMSE. Our results suggested that the fusion of heterogeneous data and the ensemble of heterogeneous models may revolutionize our ability to predict the PSD over large areas, especially in some places limited by sparse field samples.

Surface wind and vertical extent features of the explosive cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere based on the ERA‐I reanalysis data - Li‐Zhi Jiang; Shen‐Ming Fu; Jian‐Hua Sun; Rui Fu; Wan‐Li Li; Si‐Xiong Zhao; Hui Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Although explosive cyclones (ECs) have long been a focus of research, there remains a lack of knowledge of the statistical characteristics of their associated maximum surface winds and vertical extents. This study fills this gap by conducting a targeted statistical analysis of ECs in the Northern Hemisphere using the ERA‐I reanalysis data during a 40‐year period. Some new findings are obtained: (a) The average location of formation of ECs undergoes a notable westward and equatorward shift from September to April in the next year which is consistent with the location variations of sea surface temperature's strong gradients in subtropical regions. (b) Extreme ECs with a deepening rate more than 2.0 Bergeron or with a longer lifespan more than 10 days tend to have a larger occurrence number over the Northern Atlantic Ocean than over the Northern Pacific. (c) The maximum surface wind associated with an EC tends to appear between the EC reaching its maximum deepening rate and reaching its minimum central pressure. (d) The northeastern quadrant of ECs accounts for the highest proportion of maximum surface wind and strongest wind speed, as the baroclinic energy conversion is generally strongest in this quadrant. (e) Over 60% of ECs belong to a type of vertically deep cyclone (ECs' top levels show close relationship to ascending motions within their central regions), and they tend to reach their maximum vertical extent around the time when they reach their minimum central pressures. (f) The highest top levels of ECs exhibit an overall upward extending trend as their minimum central pressure decreases or their maximum deepening rate increases.

Distribution of Coomassie Blue Stainable Particles in the Pearl River Estuary, China, Insight Into the Nitrogen Cycling in Estuarine System - Cui-Ci Sun; Wei-Zhong Yue; You-Shao Wang; Wei-Hong He; Yi-Guo Hong; Fu-Lin Sun; Hao Cheng; Mei-Lin Wu; Zhao-Yu Jiang; Fei Jiao; Yu-Tu Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Distributions of Coomassie Blue stainable particles (CSP), the sources and transports, as well as their implications for nitrogen biogeochemical cycles in the Pearl River estuary (PRE) were investigated during two cruises in August 2016 and January 2017. CSP color concentrations (CSP concentration determined spectrophotometrically) were 73.7–685.3 μg BSA eq L –1 [μg Bovine serum albumin (BSA) equivalent liter –1 ] in August 2016 and 100.6–396.4 μg BSA eq L –1 in January 2017, respectively. CSP concentrations were high in low-salinity waters (<5), and declined from the river to the middle estuary by 80% in the wet season and 55.6% in the dry season, respectively, then increased again in the lower estuary due to high primary production. CSP concentrations were mainly associated with chlorophyll a (Chl a ) concentration except for the turbid mixing zone, suggesting that autochthonous phytoplankton production served as the primary source of CSP in the PRE. The concentrations of nitrogen (N) as CSP in the PRE were comparable to the nitrogen content of particulate hydrolysable amino acids (PHAA). Pictures of CSP taken by microscopy and the correlation between composition of PHAA and the ratio of Chl a /CSP color showed that CSP were relatively degraded due to delivery of old terrestrial protein to river section and extensive microbial degradation during mixing at the upper and middle parts of the estuary, whereas CSP in lower estuary appeared to be more labile due to higher fresh algal production. The contribution of CSP nitrogen (CSP-N) to the particulate nitrogen (PN) pool was 34.98% in summer and 30.8% in winter. The conservative estimate of CSP-N input flux in the Pearl River Delta was about 6 × 10 6 mol N d –1 . These results suggested that CSP was a significant pool of organic nitrogen in the PRE. The study of CSP composition in terms of nitrogen provides new insight into the roles of CSP on nitrogen biogeochemical processes in the turbid and productive estuarine system.

Bacterial blight (BB), a serious bacterial disease caused by pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo ) affects rice growth and yield. Yunnan Province is regarded as a center of rice diversity in China and indeed the world, and has abundant rice landrace resources, which may offer prospective candidate donors in rice improvement and breeding. In this study, a set of 200 rice landraces were evaluated to determine their resistance to 10 pathogenic Xoo strains resistance by the leaf-clipping method. The results indicated that the tested rice landraces had different resistance levels against different Xoo strains. Multiple comparisons showed that the Xoo strain PXO99 was virulent to the tested rice landraces. Sixty-six rice landraces conferred resistance against at least one Xoo strain. These resistant rice landraces screened were then performed the presence of 14 cloned BB resistance genes by closely linked molecular markers and designed specific primers. The results showed that none of these resistant accessions contained xa13 , Xa21 , Xa27 , and Xa45(t) homologous fragments, while 9, 24, 4, 7, 9, 15, 1, 5, 4 and 27 accessions contained Xa1 , Xa2/Xa31(t) , Xa14 , Xa3/Xa26 , Xa4 , xa5 , Xa7 , Xa10 , Xa23 and xa25 homologous fragments, respectively. Sequence analysis further revealed that nucleotide variations around functional nucleotide polymorphisms region were observed within these accessions containing the Xa1 , Xa2/Xa31(t) , Xa14 , Xa3/Xa26 , Xa4 , xa5 , Xa10 , Xa23 and xa25 homologous fragments. These results along with phenotypic resistance spectrum supported that these accessions carried nine resistance homologous genes. Only one accession (Qishanggu_Wenshan) carried the Xa7 resistance gene. We also found that some resistant rice landraces, especially Xilandigu_Baoshan, and Laoyaling_Lincang without the above resistance genes, which mediated broad spectrum resistance to multiple Xoo strains, were identified as potential sources for breeding rice lines resistance to BB.

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.

Hippocampus is an important traditional marine Chinese medicinal resource that has been used to warm and tonify kidney yang in the clinic for a long time in China. Modern pharmacological studies show that its active ingredients display a wide range of pharmacological activities associated with the kidney, such as anti-inflammation, antioxidation, antitumor, and neuroprotective effects. Herein, we systematically summarize and analyze the research progress on the resource distribution, active ingredients, pharmacological activities, and clinical application of Hippocampus . First, the species and worldwide distribution of Hippocampus were assessed to clarify the existing resources, and the results showed that 44 species of Hippocampus have been found in 159 countries and regions worldwide. Then, based on the analysis of 16 kinds of active ingredients and extraction methods, the relationship between the ingredient extraction and pharmacological activities of Hippocampus was revealed. This review may provide a foundation for further research on the potential active ingredients and mechanisms of Hippocampus . In addition, the research status of traditional prescriptions containing Hippocampus was evaluated. The results implied that research on Hippocampus is still in its infancy, and the mechanism and material basis of its efficacy have not been clarified. This paper should provide directions for further studies on Hippocampus .

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 .

A Deep Learning Model to Recognize and Quantitatively Analyze Cold Seep Substrates and the Dominant Associated Species - Haining Wang; Xiaoxue Fu; Chengqian Zhao; Zhendong Luan; Chaolun Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Characterizing habitats and species distribution is important to understand the structure and function of cold seep ecosystems. This paper develops a deep learning model for the fast and accurate recognition and classification of substrates and the dominant associated species in cold seeps. Considering the dense distribution of the dominant associated species and small objects caused by overlap in cold seeps, the feature pyramid network (FPN) embed into the faster region-convolutional neural network (R-CNN) was used to detect large-scale changes and small missing objects without increasing the number of calculations. We applied three classifiers (Faster R-CNN + FPN for mussel beds, lobster clusters and biological mixing, CNN for shell debris and exposed authigenic carbonates, and VGG16 for reduced sediments and muddy bottom) to improve the recognition accuracy of substrates. The model’s results were manually verified using images obtained in the Formosa cold seep during a 2016 cruise. The recognition accuracy of the two dominant species, e.g., Gigantidas platifrons and Munidopsidae could be 70.85 and 56.16%, respectively. Seven subcategories of substrates were also classified with a mean accuracy of 74.87%. The developed model is a promising tool for the fast and accurate characterization of substrates and epifauna in cold seeps, which is crucial for large-scale quantitative analyses.

A single nucleotide polymorphism in an R2R3 MYB transcription factor gene triggers the male sterility in soybean ms6 (Ames1) - Junping Yu; Guolong Zhao; Wei Li; Ying Zhang; Peng Wang; Aigen Fu; Limei Zhao; Chunbao Zhang; Min Xu (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message Identification and functional analysis of the male sterile gene MS6 in Glycine max . Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr . ) is an important crop providing vegetable oil and protein. The male sterility-based hybrid breeding is a promising method for improving soybean yield to meet the globally growing demand. In this research, we identified a soybean genic male sterile locus, MS6 , by combining the bulked segregant analysis sequencing method and the map-based cloning technology. MS6 , highly expressed in anther, encodes an R2R3 MYB transcription factor (GmTDF1-1) that is homologous to Tapetal Development and Function 1, a key factor for anther development in Arabidopsis and rice. In male sterile ms6 (Ames1), the mutant allele contains a missense mutation, leading to the 76th leucine substituted by histidine in the DNA binding domain of GmTDF1-1. The expression of soybean MS6 under the control of the AtTDF1 promoter could rescue the male sterility of attdf1 but ms6 could not. Additionally, ms6 overexpression in wild-type Arabidopsis did not affect anther development. These results evidence that GmTDF1-1 is a functional TDF1 homolog and L76H disrupts its function. Notably, GmTDF1-1 shows 92% sequence identity with another soybean protein termed as GmTDF1-2, whose active expression also restored the fertility of attdf1 . However, GmTDF1-2 is constitutively expressed at a very low level in soybean, and therefore, not able to compensate for the MS6 deficiency. Analysis of the TDF1-involved anther development regulatory pathway showed that expressions of the genes downstream of TDF1 are significantly suppressed in ms6 , unveiling that GmTDF1-1 is a core transcription factor regulating soybean anther development.

Integration of RNA‐seq and RNAi reveals the contribution of znuA gene to the pathogenicity of Pseudomonas plecoglossicida and to the immune response of Epinephelus coioides - Le He; Luying Wang; Lingmin Zhao; Zhixia Zhuang; Xiaoru Wang; Huabin Huang; Qi Fu; Lixing Huang; Yingxue Qin; Pan Wang; Qingpi Yan (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is an important pathogen in aquaculture and causes serious economic losses. Our previous study indicated that znuA gene might play an important role in the pathogenicity of P. plecoglossicida . Five shRNAs were designed and synthesized to silence the znuA gene of P. plecoglossicida . Two of the five mutants of P. plecoglossicida exhibited significant reduction in the expression level of znuA mRNA with different efficiencies. The mutant with the highest silencing efficiency of 89.2% was chosen for further studies. Intrapleural injection of the znuA ‐RNAi strain at a dose of 10 5 cfu/fish did not cause the death of Epinephelus coioides , and no significant signs were observed at the spleen surface of infected E. coioides , while the counterpart E. coioides infected by the same dose of wild‐type strain of P. plecoglossicida all died in 5 days post‐infection (dpi). The expression of znuA gene of znuA ‐RNAi strain in E. coioides was always lower than that in wild‐type strain of P. plecoglossicida . The pathogen load in the early stage of infection was higher than that in the later stage of infection. Although the infection of the znuA ‐RNAi strain of P. plecoglossicida could induce the production of antibodies in E. coioides , it failed to produce a good immune protection against the infection of wild‐type strain of P. plecoglossicida . Compared with the transcriptome data of E. coioides infected by the wild‐type strain of P. plecoglossicida , the transcriptome data of E. coioides infected by the znuA ‐RNAi strain of P. plecoglossicida have altered significantly. Among them, KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the focal adhesion pathway was significantly enriched and exhibited the largest number of 302 DEMs (differentially expressed mRNAs). These results showed that the immune response of E. coioides to P. plecoglossicida infection was significantly affected by the RNAi of znuA gene.

Aim There have been numerous studies of forest‐soil microbial biogeography, but an integrated view of edaphic factors, plant, climatic factors, and geographic distance in determining the variation of bacterial community and assembly processes remains unclear at large spatial scales. Here, we analysed the factors affecting the biogeographic pattern and assembly processes of soil bacterial communities under 58 tree species in five natural mountain forests. Location Eastern China. Major taxa studied Bacterial communities. Methods Hierarchical partitioning analysis and distance decay models were performed to evaluate the relative contributions of plant phylogeny, environmental, and spatial variables to the composition of bacterial communities. We applied the nearest taxon index (NTI), β‐nearest taxon index (βNTI), and the modified Raup–Crick metric to reveal the mechanisms of bacterial assembly processes. Results We found that plant phylogeny accounted for a significant, but minor, fraction (0.7%) of the variation in composition of bacterial communities. In contrast, soil pH was the primary determinant of bacterial diversity and community composition, independently explaining 68.6 and 69.9% of the variation, respectively. Based on the NTI analysis, bacterial community assembly was more phylogenetically clustered with increasing soil pH. Variable selection was the predominant process explaining bacterial community assembly when differences in soil pH were ≥ 0.83, whereas homogenizing dispersal dominated when differences in soil pH were Main conclusions Our findings provide strong evidence that soil pH predominantly determines bacterial distribution and mediates the relative impact of stochasticity and determinism in soil bacterial community assembly. This suggests that climate‐change associated forest soil acidification could have a dramatic impact on soil bacterial diversity, composition, and function.

Summary Rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani is the major disease of rice that seriously threatens food security worldwide. Efficient and eco‐friendly biological approaches are urgently needed since no resistant cultivars are available. In this study, fallow and paddy soils were initially subjected to microbiome analyses, and the results showed that Talaromyces spp. were significantly more abundant in the paddy soil, while Trichoderma spp. were more abundant in the fallow soil, suggesting that Talaromyces spp. could live and survive better in the paddy soil. Five Talaromyces isolates, namely, TF‐04, TF‐03, TF‐02, TF‐01 and TA‐02, were isolated from the paddy soil using sclerotia of R . solani as baits and were further evaluated for their activity against rice sheath blight. These isolates efficiently parasitized the hyphae and rotted the sclerotia even at higher water contents in the sterilized sand and the soil. Isolate TF‐04 significantly promoted rice growth, reduced the severity of rice sheath blight and increased the rice yield under outdoor conditions. Defence‐related genes were upregulated and enzyme activities were enhanced in rice treated with isolate TF‐04. Our research supplies a microbiome‐guided approach to screen biological control agents and provides Talaromyces isolates to biologically control rice sheath blight.

Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) is a destructive soil-borne cotton disease. To profile the genes and pathways responding to Fov infection, we compared transcriptomic responses before and after F. oxysporum inoculation in a highly resistant cotton cultivar, Yumian21, and a highly susceptible cultivar, Jimian11. Although the overall gene expression pattern was downregulated in both cultivars, the global gene expression in the resistant cultivar was stronger than that in the susceptible cultivar. In addition, the expressed genes of two cultivars mostly differed in “cellular process,” “single-organism process,” “metabolic process,” and “response to stimulus” functional groups in the biological process Gene Ontology category: the upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEG) were largely enriched in the resistant cultivar, while the downregulated DEGs were largely enriched in the susceptible cultivar. Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and phenylalanine metabolism are the key metabolic pathways in cotton in response to Fov. We found that lignin plays a potential role in cotton resistance to Fov. Two coding genes, caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase and peroxidase2 , as well as the two transcription factors MYB46 and MYB86 , are possibly involved in the accumulation and synthesis of lignin. Furthermore, the result showed that the quantification of lignin could be potentially used as a selection tool to identify Fusarium wilt resistant cotton.

The Combined Effects of Increased pCO2 and Warming on a Coastal Phytoplankton Assemblage: From Species Composition to Sinking Rate - Yuanyuan Feng; Fei Chai; Mark L. Wells; Yan Liao; Pengfei Li; Ting Cai; Ting Zhao; Feixue Fu; David A. Hutchins (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
In addition to ocean acidification, a significant recent warming trend in Chinese coastal waters has received much attention. However, studies of the combined effects of warming and acidification on natural coastal phytoplankton assemblages here are scarce. We conducted a continuous incubation experiment with a natural spring phytoplankton assemblage collected from the Bohai Sea near Tianjin. Experimental treatments used a full factorial combination of temperature (7 and 11°C) and pCO 2 (400 and 800 ppm) treatments. Results suggest that changes in pCO 2 and temperature had both individual and interactive effects on phytoplankton species composition and elemental stoichiometry. Warming mainly favored the accumulation of picoplankton and dinoflagellate biomass. Increased pCO 2 significantly increased particulate organic carbon to particulate organic phosphorus (C:P) and particulate organic carbon to biogenic silica (C:BSi) ratios, and decreased total diatom abundance; in the meanwhile, higher pCO 2 significantly increased the ratio of centric to pennate diatom abundance. Warming and increased pCO 2 both greatly decreased the proportion of diatoms to dinoflagellates. The highest chlorophyll a biomass was observed in the high pCO 2 , high temperature phytoplankton assemblage, which also had the slowest sinking rate of all treatments. Overall, there were significant interactive effects of increased pCO 2 and warming on dinoflagellate abundance, pennate diatom abundance, diatom vs. dinoflagellates ratio and the centric vs. pennate ratio. These findings suggest that future ocean acidification and warming trends may individually and cumulatively affect coastal biogeochemistry and carbon fluxes through shifts in phytoplankton species composition and sinking rates.

Disruption of carotene biosynthesis leads to abnormal plastids and variegated leaves in Brassica napus - Xiaobin Zhao; Kaining Hu; Mengjiao Yan; Bin Yi; Jing Wen; Chaozhi Ma; Jinxiong Shen; Tingdong Fu; Jinxing Tu (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2020)
Leaf color is an important characteristic of normal chloroplast development. Variegated plants have green- and white-sectored leaves, which can be used to identify important pathways and molecular mechanisms of chloroplast development. We studied two Brassica napus variegation mutants from same one variegated ancestor, designated ZY-4 and ZY-8, which have different degrees of variegation. When grown in identical conditions, the ratio of white sectors in ZY-4 leaves is higher than in ZY-8. In both mutants, the cells in green sectors contain normal chloroplasts; while, the cells in white sectors contain abnormal plastids. Seedling chloroplasts ultrastructure of both mutants showed that the biogenesis of chloroplasts was blocked in early stages; delayed development and structual damage in ZY-4 were more serious than in ZY-8. Employing bulked segregant analysis(BSA), two bulks (BY142 and BY137) from BC 2 F 1 lines derived from ZY-4 and ZS11, and one bulk (BY56) from BC 2 F 1 lines derived from ZY-8 and ZS11, and screening by Brassica 60K SNP BeadChip Array, showed the candidate regions localized in chromosome A08 (BY142), C04 (BY137), and A08 (BY56), respectively. Transcriptome analysis of five seedling development stages of ZY-4, ZY-8, and ZS11 showed that photosynthesis, energy metabolism-related pathways and translation-related pathways were important for chloroplast biogenesis. The number of down- or up-regulated genes related to immune system process in ZY-4 was more than in ZY-8. The retrograde signaling pathway was mis-regulated in both mutants. DEG analysis indicated that both mutants showed photooxidative damages. By coupling transcriptome and BSA CHIP analyses, some candidate genes were identified. The gene expression pattern of carotene biosynthesis pathway was disrupted in both mutants. However, histochemical analysis of ROS revealed that there was no excessive accumulation of ROS in ZY-4 and ZY-8. Taken together, our data indicate that the disruption of carotene biosynthetic pathways leads to the variegation phenotypes of ZY-4 and ZY-8 and there are some functions that can compensate for the disruption of carotene biosynthesis in ZY-4 and ZY-8 to reduce ROS and prevent seedling mortality.

Plastic pollution is a global concern given its prevalence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies have been conducted on the distribution and impact of plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, but little is known on terrestrial ecosystems. Plastic mulch has been widely used to increase crop yields worldwide, yet the impact of plastic residues in cropland soils to soil health and crop production in the long term remained unclear. In this paper, using a global meta‐analysis, we found that the use of plastic mulch can indeed increase crop yields on average by 25%–42% in the immediate season due to the increase of soil temperature (+8%) and moisture (+17%). However, the unabated accumulation of film residues in the field negatively impacts its physicochemical properties linked to healthy soil and threatens food production in the long term. It has multiple negative impacts on plant growth including crop yield (at the mean rate of −3% for every additional 100 kg/ha of film residue), plant height (−2%) and root weight (−5%), and soil properties including soil water evaporation capacity (−2%), soil water infiltration rate (−8%), soil organic matter (−0.8%) and soil available phosphorus (−5%) based on meta‐regression. Using a nationwide field survey of China, the largest user of plastic mulch worldwide, we found that plastic residue accumulation in cropland soils has reached 550,800 tonnes, with an estimated 6%–10% reduction in cotton yield in some polluted sites based on current level of plastic residue content. Immediate actions should be taken to ensure the recovery of plastic film mulch and limit further increase in film residue loading to maintain the sustainability of these croplands.

BDS-3 differential code bias estimation with undifferenced uncombined model based on triple-frequency observation - Shengfeng Gu; YinTong Wang; Qile Zhao; Fu Zheng; Xiaopeng Gong (Journal of Geodesy, 2020)
Since 2015, the new generation global BDS system, i.e., BDS-3, has started its development with five experimental satellites demonstration system and has announced its initial global service officially on December 27, 2018. Among the various characteristics to be analyzed for the new generation BDS satellites, the differential code bias (DCB) is of special attention since that it has a direct dependence on the new signals, i.e., B1C and B2a, and it is one of the most intricacy problems in the ionosphere sensing and positioning with multi-GNSS and multi-frequency observations. To take the full capability of the triple-frequency BDS signals, this paper proposed a new method for the DCB estimation in which the undifferenced uncombined observations are processed in PPP mode. In addition, with the intention to estimate all the unknowns, including the DCB, in a single filter, the DESIGN (deterministic plus stochastic ionosphere model for GNSS) method is applied for the ionospheric delay constrains in this method. In the formula derivation, special attention is given to the DCB and clock parameters due to different frequencies for B1I/B1C, etc. Then, the efficiency of the new method is assessed with observations of 23 iGMAS stations capable for BDS triple-frequency tracking and 21 IGS stations capable for GPS triple-frequency tracking during DOY 001 to 090, 2019. Moreover, the traditional DCB estimation method by employing the geometry-free (GF) combination with the ionospheric delay removed by global ionosphere map product is also performed for comparison purpose. The experimental results suggest that by using the undifferenced uncombined solution, rather than the GF combination, the BDS-2 DCB on B1IB2I and B1CB3I can be improved, especially for the MEO satellites. Regarding to the DLR products, the undifferenced uncombined DCB solution presents a RMS of 0.32 ns and 0.27 ns for B1IB2I and B1CB3I, respectively. Concerning the BDS-3 satellites DCB, it is GF combination that performs better by a factor of $$12.7%$$ 12.7 % and $$15.2%$$ 15.2 % for B1CB2a and B1CB3I, respectively. This is mainly due to the fact that the undifferenced uncombined DCB solution is sensitive to the limited precision of the BDS-3 orbit and clock. This conclusion is further confirmed by the improvement in the GPS DCB solution with the new method. Compared with the GF combination solution, the STD for daily repeatability improves from 0.088 to 0.061 ns and 0.119 to 0.090 ns for satellite on C1WC2W and C1WC5X, respectively, by using the undifferenced uncombined model.

Long-term shifts in abundance of (migratory) crop-feeding and beneficial insect species in northeastern Asia - Jianglong Guo; Xiaowei Fu; Shengyuan Zhao; Xiujing Shen; Kris A. G. Wyckhuys; Kongming Wu (Journal of Pest Science, 2020)
Vast numbers of insects annually engage in trans-latitudinal migration and thereby impact structure and functioning of natural and man-made ecosystems. In eastern Asia, long-distance migration has historically been studied for single insect species rather than diverse species complexes. Here, we assessed migration dynamics of multiple economically important migratory species on an island in the Bohai Strait, China. Drawing upon 15-year trapping records of > 2.5 million specimens, we unveil inter- and intra-annual shifts in the species composition and abundance of migrant individuals. Migrants belonged to 9 orders and 36 families, primarily consisting of Lepidoptera (79% individuals), Odonata (8%), and Coleoptera (4%). Seven crop-feeding noctuids, e.g., Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), Mythimna separata (Walker), represented 54% of the total trapping records. Trap catches exhibited marked seasonal variation, with the highest capture rate during early fall. Yearly abundance of migratory noctuids was coupled with that of their associated natural enemies. Although overall trap catches did not decrease over the monitoring period, the entire order of Odonata experienced a 14.1% annual rate of decline. Furthermore, 19 out of 108 species exhibited a progressively declining abundance over time, including the cosmopolitan cutworm Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel) and the insectivorous dragonfly Pantala flavescens Fabricius. Our work provides unprecedented insights into insect migration dynamics in eastern Asia, helps fine-tune forecasting and early-warning systems of crop pests, and thereby guides integrated pest management within local agro-landscapes. Also, a long-term tracking of migrant insect populations can shine light on the fate of (insect-mediated) ecosystem services and trophic dynamic processes at a macroscale.

Pure bacterial cultures were isolated from different tissues of moribund Megalobrama terminalis from a high mortality event that occurred at a farm in Foshan, China. Two isolates (F2 and F3) were identified as Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae based on morphological and biochemical detection as well as molecular analysis. In brain heart infusion broth, the best growth conditions of isolate F3 were 35ºC, salinity 5‰ and pH 7. Furthermore, infection with isolate F3 (1.2 × 10 6 CFU/fish) led to the death of M. terminalis and zebrafish ( Danio rerio ). However, isolate F3 had no obvious pathogenicity to tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus ). When the water temperature was 29ºC, the corresponding mortality rates for zebrafish infected by isolate F3 were higher than those at 23ºC. Culture for 24 and 72 hr with isolate F3 resulted in the same mortality rates for zebrafish. The antimicrobial susceptibility assay revealed that isolate F3 was susceptible to ampicillin, florfenicol and several other antibiotics but resistant to nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, neomycin and amikacin. To our knowledge, this is the first report that S. dysgalactiae infected the subtropical freshwater fish M. terminalis , which indicates that this bacterium is a potential threat to subtropical freshwater fish.

A simple and reliable method for creating PCR-detectable mutants in Arabidopsis with the polycistronic tRNA–gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 system - Liangliang Hui; Min Zhao; Junqi He; Yingying Hu; Yanshuang Huo; Houyan Hao; Yaqi Hao; Weining Zhu; Yuhua Wang; Min Xu; Aigen Fu (Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2019)
To develop an easy and robust method for creating genetically stable and easily detectable Arabidopsis mutants, we adopted the polycistronic tRNA–gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 (PTG/Cas9) system, a multiplex gene-editing tool in rice, with PTOX as the reporter gene. The PTG/Cas9 system has a great potential in generating large deletions detectable by PCR, which greatly simplifies the laborious work of mutant screening. We constructed a PTOX –PTG/Cas9 system with five gRNAs and introduced it into Arabidopsis . At T1 generation, 24.4% of transgenic plants were chimeric with PCR-detectable deletions in PTOX locus, but no homozygous mutant was found, indicating that gene editing occurred predominantly in somatic cells. After a self-cross propagation, 60% of T1 chimeric plants were able to produce homozygous, heterozygous, or bi-allelic ptox offsprings. Inheritable homozygous ptox mutants without Cas9 gene can be obtained earliest at T2 generation. We further targeted five other genes using the same procedure and achieved homozygous Cas9-free mutants with large deletions for all genes within three generations. We established a standard and reliable protocol to generate stable inherited deletion mutants in 2–3 generations along with simple PCR screening methods. We conclude that the rice PTG/Cas9 system is an efficient, easy, and rapid tool to edit genes in Arabidopsis . We propose that it could be applied to other genes in Arabidopsis , and it might have the potential to edit genes in other plant species as well.
