Station‐based non‐linear regression downscaling approach: A new monthly precipitation downscaling technique - Zexi Shen; Qiang Zhang; Vijay P. Singh; Peng Sun; Chunyang He; Changxiu Cheng (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Statistical downscaling is an effective way to downscale General Circulation Model (GCM) outputs to a finer temporal and spatial scale. Here, we proposed and trained a new station‐based non‐linear regression downscaling (SNRD) approach, and quantitatively demonstrated its better performance than linear regression model. In addition, we also compared the SNRD method with the Bias Correction Spatial Disaggregation (BCSD) method, which has been widely applied on downscaling precipitation. Results indicated that RMSEs and residuals of the BCSD method are 4.6–31 times as ones of SNRD in each region of China during validation period (2004–2015). Besides, with historical in‐situ observed monthly mean precipitation as the benchmark, SNRD downscaled model modified the over‐estimation (1.25–2 times as observed precipitation) flaw of BCSD model in rainy season (June–August) of China, which could provide assistance on the further researches on drought events in rainy season in future. Further, we also surprisingly found that the 2,500 m was the threshold height for statistical downscaling models. Both BCSD and SNRD downscaled precipitation displayed more steadily and accurately above 2,500 m, since there are less intense human activities in China. Thus, we recommend further studies should fully consider the height element in downscaling models to improve the accuracies.

Differential metabolism-associated gene expression of duck pancreatic cells in response to two strains of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 - Zhen Chen; Shao-hua Shi; Yu Huang; Cui-qin Huang; Rong-chang Liu; Long-fei Cheng; Guang-hua Fu; Hong-mei Chen; Chun-he Wan; Qiu-ling Fu (Archives of Virology, 2021)
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.

Numerical Study on the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Double-Row Floating Breakwater Composed of a Pontoon and an Airbag - Xiaofei Cheng; Chang Liu; Qilong Zhang; Ming He; Xifeng Gao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
By adding a cylindrical airbag on the leeward side of a cuboid pontoon, a new-type double-row floating breakwater is designed to improve the wave attenuation performance, and its hydrodynamic characteristics are studied through numerical simulations. First, based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, a numerical model used to simulate the interaction between waves and moored floating bodies is built. The fluid motion is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations. The motion of the floating body is computed according to Newton’s second law. The modified dynamic boundary condition is employed to treat the solid boundary. The lumped-mass method is adopted to implement the mooring system. Then, two physical model experiments on waves interaction with cuboid and dual cylindrical floating pontoons are reproduced. By comparing the experimental and numerical wave transmission coefficients, wave reflection coefficients, response amplitude operators and mooring force, the reliability of the numerical model is validated. Finally, the validated numerical model is applied to study the influence of separation distance and wave parameters on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the double-row floating breakwater. The results indicate that the optimal separation distance between pontoon and airbag is 0.75 times the wavelength. At such separation distance and within the concerned 1–4 m wave heights and 4–7 s wave periods, the pontoon-airbag system presents better wave attenuation performance than a single pontoon. This improvement weakens as wave height increases while it strengthens as the wave period increases. In addition, the double-row floating breakwater is more effective in a high-wave regime than in a low-wave regime. In the case of short waves, attention should be paid to the stability and mooring reliability of the seaward pontoon, while in the case of long waves, care needs to be taken of the leeward airbag.

Extreme temperature indices in Eurasia in a CMIP6 multi‐model ensemble: Evaluation and projection - Yimin Zhao; Cheng Qian; Wenjun Zhang; Dong He; Yajie Qi (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
It is important to project the changes in extreme temperature in Eurasia, where more than two‐thirds of the world's population reside. Employing Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) simulations and extreme temperature indices defined by the expert team on climate change detection and Indices, we firstly evaluate the performance of the CMIP6 models, and then project the spatial patterns of changes in extreme temperature in different periods under shared social‐economic Pathway scenarios and at different global warming levels. The results show that the performance of the CMIP6 models in simulating the indices of the coldest day (TXn), the coldest night (TNn), summer days (SU), tropical nights (TR) and frost days (FD) are good. Therefore, these five indices were selected for projection. Overall, TXn, TNn, SU and TR show an increasing trend and FD a decreasing trend, consistent with global warming in the future. The responses to global warming tend to be strongest in high latitudes for TXn and TNn, in high latitudes and high‐altitude areas for FD, and in some low‐latitude areas for SU and TR. At the local scale over Eurasia, where the change is larger than the regional median level, the changes in extreme temperature indices at 1.5°C of global warming above pre‐industrial levels are projected to be reduced by 30–55% and 55–85%, respectively, compared with the situation at 2.0°C and 3.0 warming. If global warming could be controlled to within 2.0°C, the changes in extreme temperature indices over Eurasia would be reduced by up to 60% compared with the situation at 3.0°C warming. Therefore, if global warming can be controlled to within a low warming target, the risk of extreme temperature change will be greatly reduced in these regions.

Lytic regulated cell death in aquaculture fish - Xiaojing Xia; Bin He; Xiulin Zhang; Zhe Cheng; Mingcheng Liu; Xiaobing Wei; Jinqing Jiang; Jianhe Hu (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
Cell death is an important physiological and pathological phenomenon in multicellular animals and occurs widely in various body’s systems. In recent years, researchers have gained a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of necrosis and apoptosis in mammals. In addition, many new forms of lytic regulated cell death (RCD), such as pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis, have been discovered, thus enhancing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of programmed cell death (PCD) and the associated signalling pathways as well as their relationship with diseases. However, our understanding of lytic RCD in fish is limited. Recently, some progress has been made regarding the induction conditions, expression of related genes and regulation of lytic RCD in fish. Furthermore, research on the roles of lytic RCD in tissue development, against pathogenic microorganism, inflammatory disease and neurological disease, has also been advanced. Understanding lytic RCD in fish will enable the regulation of its occurrence through human intervention to inhibit disease processes, improve fish health and explore possible countermeasures based on these basic theoretical studies.

A Visual Analysis Approach to Understand and Explore Quality Problems of AIS Data - Wei He; Jinyu Lei; Xiumin Chu; Shuo Xie; Cheng Zhong; Zhixiong Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Low quality automatic identification system (AIS) data often mislead analysts to a misunderstanding of ship behavior analysis and to making incorrect navigation risk assessments. It is therefore necessary to accurately understand and judge the quality problems in AIS data before a further analysis of ship behavior. Outliers were filtered in the existing methods of AIS quality analysis based only on mathematical models where AIS data related quality problems are not utilized and there is a lack of visual exploration. Thus, the human brain’s ability cannot be fully utilized to think visually and for reasoning. In this regard, a visual analytics (VA) approach called AIS Data Quality visualization (ADQvis) was designed and implemented here to support evaluations and explorations of AIS data quality. The system interface is overviewed and then the visualization model and corresponding human-computer interaction method are described in detail. Finally, case studies were carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of our visual analytics approach for AIS quality problems.

PapA , a peptidoglycan‐associated protein, interacts with OmpC and maintains cell envelope integrity - Yun‐Hao Wang; Hong‐He Chen; Zhou Huang; Xiao‐Jing Li; Nan Zhou; Chang Liu; Cheng‐Ying Jiang; De‐Feng Li; Shuang‐Jiang Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary The bacterial cell envelope is critical to support and maintain cellular life. In Gram‐negative bacterial cells, the outer membrane and the peptidoglycan layer are two important parts of the cell envelope and they harbour abundant proteins. Here, we report the identification and characterization of a previously unknown p eptidoglycan‐ a ssociated p rotein, PapA, from the Gram‐negative Comamonas testosteroni . PapA bound peptidoglycan with its C‐terminal domain and interacted with the outer‐membrane porin OmpC. The PapA‐OmpC complex riveted the outer membrane and the peptidoglycan layer, and played a role in maintaining cell envelope integrity. When papA was disrupted, the mutant CNB‐1Δ papA apparently had an outer membrane partly separated from the peptidoglycan layer. Phenotypically, the mutant CNB‐1Δ papA lost chemotactic responses and had longer lag‐phase of growth, less flagellation and higher sensitivity to harsh environments. Totally, 1093 functionally unknown PapA homologues were identified from the public NR protein database and they were mainly distributed in Burkholderiales of Betaproteobacteria. Our finding provides a clue that the PapA homologous proteins might function as a rivet to maintain cell envelope integrity in those Gram‐negative bacteria.

Evaluation of crustal inhomogeneity parameters in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and adjacent regions - Xiao-Ping Fan; Yi-Cheng He; Cong-Jie Yang; Jun-Fei Wang (Journal of Seismology, 2020)
Broadband teleseismic waveform data from 13 earthquakes recorded by 70 digital seismic stations were selected to evaluate the inhomogeneity parameters of the crustal medium in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and its adjacent regions using the teleseismic fluctuation wavefield method. Results show that a strong inhomogeneity exists beneath the study region, which can be divided into three blocks according to its structure and tectonic deformation features. These are known as the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block. The velocity fluctuation ratios of the three blocks are approximately 5.1%, 3.6%, and 5.1% in the upper crust and 5.1%, 3.8%, and 4.9% in the lower crust. The inhomogeneity correlation lengths of the three blocks are about 10.1 km, 14.0 km, and 10.7 km in the upper crust and 11.8 km, 17.0 km, and 11.8 km in the lower crust. The differences in the crustal medium inhomogeneity beneath the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block may be related to intensive tectonic movement and material flow in the crust and upper mantle.

Cerebral Organoids Repair Ischemic Stroke Brain Injury - Shu-Na Wang; Zhi Wang; Tian-Ying Xu; Ming-He Cheng; Wen-Lin Li; Chao-Yu Miao (Translational Stroke Research, 2020)
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and main cause of disability worldwide, but with few effective therapies. Although stem cell-based therapy has been proposed as an exciting regenerative medicine strategy for brain injury, there are limitations. The developed cerebral organoids (COs) represent a promising transplantation source for stroke that remains to be answered. Here, we transplanted COs at 55 days and explored the feasibility in the rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of stroke. COs transplantation at 6 h or even 24 h after MCAO significantly reduces brain infarct volume and improves neurological motor function. Transplanted COs show the potential of multilineage differentiation to mimic in vivo cortical development, support motor cortex region-specific reconstruction, form neurotransmitter-related neurons, and achieve synaptic connection with host brain via in situ differentiation and cell replacement in stroke. Cells from transplanted COs show extensive migration into different brain regions along corpus callosum. The mechanisms underlying COs transplantation therapy are also associated with enhanced neurogenesis, synaptic reconstruction, axonal regeneration and angiogenesis, and decreased neural apoptosis with more survival neurons after stroke. Moreover, COs transplantation promotes predominantly exogenous neurogenesis in the transplantation periphery of ipsilateral cortex and predominantly endogenous neurogenesis in the hippocampus and subventricular zone. Together, we demonstrate the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of COs transplantation in stroke. This preliminary but promising study provides first-hand preclinical evidence for COs transplantation as a potential and effective intervention for stroke treatment.

Overexpression miR-486-3p Promoted by Allicin Enhances Temozolomide Sensitivity in Glioblastoma Via Targeting MGMT - Henggang Wu; Xu Li; Tiehui Zhang; Guojun Zhang; Jingnan Chen; Li Chen; Min He; Bilie Hao; Cheng Wang (NeuroMolecular Medicine, 2020)
Glioblastoma is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system that develops chemotherapy resistance. Previous studies showed that Allicin could inhibit multiple cancer cells including glioblastoma, but the function of Allicin in glioblastoma is still unclear. Our work aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. The results showed that miR-486-3p levels were greatly increased in glioblastoma during Allicin treatment. Overexpression of miR-486-3p increased chemosensitivity to temozolomide (TMZ) in vitro and in vivo. O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) was identified as a direct target of miR-486-3p, and miR-486-3p overexpression prevented the protein translation of MGMT. Moreover, overexpression of MGMT restored miR-486-3p-induced chemosensitivity to TMZ. Taken together, our studies revealed that Allicin could upregulate miR-486-3p and enhance TMZ sensitivity in glioblastoma. The results suggested that in the future, Allicin can be used as an adjuvant therapy with TMZ to improve the prognosis of patients, and miR-486-3p may be a potential target for glioblastoma treatment to improve the curative effects.

Plastic pollution in croplands threatens long‐term food security - Dan Zhang; Ee Ling Ng; Wanli Hu; Hongyuan Wang; Pablo Galaviz; Hude Yang; Wentao Sun; Chongxiao Li; Xingwang Ma; Bin Fu; Peiyi Zhao; Fulin Zhang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
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.

The effects of mesoscale oceanographic structures and ambient conditions on the catch of albacore tuna in the South Pacific longline fishery - Cheng Zhou; Pingguo He; Liuxiong Xu; Pascal Bach; Xuefang Wang; Rong Wan; Hao Tang; Yu Zhang (Fisheries Oceanography, 2020)
Albacore tuna ( Thunnus alalunga ) exhibit patchy concentrations associated with biological process at a wide range of spatial scales, resulting in variations in their catchability by fishing gears. Here, we investigated the association of catch variation for pelagic longlines in the South Pacific Ocean with oceanographic mesoscale structures (in horizontal dimension) and ambient conditions (in vertical dimension). The distribution of albacore tuna as indicated by catch per unit effort (CPUE) of longlines was significantly related to the presence of mesoscale structures, with higher CPUE found at locations closer to thermal fronts and with greater gradient magnitudes, as well as areas marked by peripheral contour line of the anticyclone indicated by Sea Surface Height Anomalies ~0.05 m. Surface mesoscale current velocity had the negative effect on the catch, probably as a result of decreased catchability by shoaling the hook depth. Vertical distribution of albacore in the survey region of South Pacific Ocean was hardly restricted by ambient temperature and oxygen concentration, though effect of ambient temperature was relevant and showed a negatively linear correlation with CPUE at the range of 20–24°C. On the contrary, albacore distribution was evidently dominated by the water depth and showed strong preference on water depth of 200 m, which was likely a representative feeding layer. The presence of prey resources and their accessibility by albacore revealed by mesoscale structures in the biological and physical processes, and catchability determined by the location of the baited hooks comprehensively contribute to the variability of catch.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

Chitin synthase is involved in vegetative growth, asexual reproduction and pathogenesis of Phytophthora capsici and Phytophthora sojae - Wei Cheng; Menglan Lin; Min Qiu; Liang Kong; Yuanpeng Xu; Yaning Li; Yan Wang; Wenwu Ye; Suomeng Dong; Shuilin He; Yuanchao Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Chitin is a structural and functional component of the fungal cell wall and also serves as a pathogen‐associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that triggers the innate immune responses of host plants. However, no or very little chitin is found in the fungus‐like oomycetes. In Phytophthora spp., the presence of chitin has not been demonstrated so far, although putative chitin synthase (CHS) genes, which encode the enzymes that synthesize chitin, are present in their genomes. Here, we revealed that chitin is present in the zoospores and released sporangia of Phytophthora , and this is most consistent with the transcriptional pattern of PcCHS in Phytophthora capsici and PsCHS1 in Phytophthora sojae . Disruption of the CHS genes indicated that PcCHS and PsCHS1 , but not PsCHS2 (which exhibited very weak transcription), have similar functions involved in mycelial growth, sporangial production, zoospore release and the pathogenesis of P. capsici and P. sojae . We also suggest that chitin in the zoospores of P. capsici can act as a PAMP that is recognized by the chitin receptors AtLYK5 or AtCERK1 of Arabidopsis . These results provide new insights into the biological significance of chitin and CHSs in Phytophthora and help with the identification of potential targets for disease control.

Identifying the Design Alternatives and Flow Interference of Tuna Purse Seine by the Numerical Modelling Approach - Cheng Zhou; Liuxiong Xu; Hao Tang; Fuxiang Hu; Pingguo He; Taisei Kumazawa; Xuefang Wang; Rong Wan; Shuchuang Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
Dynamic responses of tuna purse seine to currents were numerically studied with regard to the vertical subsidence and global load distribution, and determinant attributes were identified. We rebuilt the submerged geometry of a purse seine net using the lumped mass method with hydrodynamic coefficients obtained from measurements of the prototype material, as well as a mesh grouping method, which corrects the twine diameter and netting material density for the equivalent net by introducing the compensation coefficient. Uneven tension distribution showed that it was vulnerable to high loads in the bunt area at shooting and along the lead line at pursing. High loads were present at the convex sections of net circles in the direction of the current. Higher shooting speeds resulted in well-balanced sinking, while a reduced hanging ratio of netting panels was beneficial to faster sinking. While large mesh sizes reduce water resistance and increase sinking velocity, extensive use should be cautioned in terms of the sensibility to stress. Comparing two options of different proportions of large-mesh panels, mesh sizes doubled for 15 strips versus 5 strips, suggesting that the 15 strip option would pose a higher risk of strand vulnerability, while the 5 strip option may be a more balanced alternative with a lower mesh density and a lower mesh stress.

This research identified 169 known microRNAs (miRNAs), 380 novel miRNAs, and 30,538 targets in 11 tissues (blood, brain, derma, gill, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, muscle, pronephros, and spleen) from grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella with high‐throughput sequencing (HTS). Transcripts per million (TPM) expression analysis detected 41 brain‐enriched miRNAs (accounting for 61.19% of all tissue‐enriched miRNAs). Real‐time quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) confirmed that 21 of 24 randomly selected tissue‐enriched miRNAs from the TPM analysis were indeed tissue‐enriched ( P dmrt ) involved in sex differentiation. RT‐qPCR revealed that cid‐miR ‐138 was more highly expressed in testis than in ovary ( P dmrt4a ( P cid‐miR ‐138– dmrt4a in neuroendocrine mechanisms related to brain‐pituitary networks during sex development. The discovery of miRNAs from 11 C. idella tissues expands the available fish mi R NA database, and enhances our understanding of the role of sex‐related miRNAs in tissue differentiation and maintenance of specific tissue functions in fishes.

Given the important contributions of semiarid region to global land carbon cycle, accurate modeling of the interannual variability (IAV) of terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) is important but remains challenging. By decomposing GPP into leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthesis per leaf area (i.e., GPP_leaf), we investigated the IAV of GPP and the mechanisms responsible in a temperate grassland of northwestern China. We further assessed six ecosystem models for their capabilities in reproducing the observed IAV of GPP in a temperate grassland from 2004 to 2011 in China. We observed that the responses to LAI and GPP_leaf to soil water significantly contributed to IAV of GPP at the grassland ecosystem. Two of six models with prescribed LAI simulated of the observed IAV of GPP quite well, but still underestimated the variance of GPP_leaf, therefore the variance of GPP. In comparison, simulated pattern by the other four models with prognostic LAI differed significantly from the observed IAV of GPP. Only some models with prognostic LAI can capture the observed sharp decline of GPP in drought years. Further analysis indicated that accurately representing the responses of GPP_leaf and leaf stomatal conductance to soil moisture are critical for the models to reproduce the observed IAV of GPP_leaf. Our framework also identified that the contributions of LAI and GPP_leaf to the observed IAV of GPP were relatively independent. We conclude that our framework of decomposing GPP into LAI and GPP_leaf has a significant potential for facilitating future model intercomparison, benchmarking and optimization should be adopted for future data‐model comparisons.
