A New Cross-Platform Instrument for Microstructure Turbulence Measurements - Yunli Nie; Hua Yang; Dalei Song; Yan Huang; Xiuyan Liu; Xianghua Hui (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
This study developed a new cross-platform instrument for microstructure turbulence measurement (CPMTM) and evaluated its performance. The CPMTM is designed as an “all-in-one” payload that can be easily integrated with a variety of marine instrumentation platforms. The sensors in the CPMTM include two shear probes, a fast-response temperature probe, and an accelerometer for monitoring vibrations. In addition, a custom-designed flexible connection vibration-damping device is used to isolate platform vibrations. To validate the CPMTM performance, a direct comparison was carried out with a reference acoustic Doppler velocimeter in a controlled flume for four background turbulence levels. The results of the comparison show that the velocity spectra measured by the CPMTM and ADV w components are in agreement, which demonstrates the ability of the CPMTM to acquire accurate turbulence data. Furthermore, the CPMTM was integrated into the long-range Sea-Whale 2000 AUV and tested in the northern South China Sea in September 2020. The data collected by the CPMTM show that the measured shear spectrum of the noise reduction agrees well with the empirical Nasmyth spectrum. Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates as low as 7 × 10−10 W kg−1 can be resolved. Laboratory and field experiments illustrate that the CPMTM has an extraordinarily low noise level and is validated for turbulence measurements.

SNP Development in Penaeus vannamei via Next-Generation Sequencing and DNA Pool Sequencing - Yongyu Huang; Lili Zhang; Hui Ge; Guodong Wang; Shiyu Huang; Zhangwu Yang (Fishes, 2021)
Next-generation sequencing and pool sequencing have been widely used in SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) detection and population genetics research; however, there are few reports on SNPs related to the growth of Penaeus vannamei. The purpose of this study was to call SNPs from rapid-growing (RG) and slow-growing (SG) individuals’ transcriptomes and use DNA pool sequencing to assess the reliability of SNPs. Two parameters were applied to detect SNPs. One parameter was the p-values generated using Fisher’s exact test, which were used to calculate the significance of allele frequency differences between RG and SG. The other one was the AFI (minor allele frequency imbalance), which was defined to highlight the fold changes in MAF (minor allele frequency) values between RG and SG. There were 216,015 hypothetical SNPs, which were obtained based on the transcriptome data. Finally, 104 high-quality SNPs and 96,819 low-quality SNPs were predicted. Then, 18 high-quality SNPs and 17 low-quality SNPs were selected to assess the reliability of the detection process. Here, 72.22% (13/18) accuracy was achieved for high-quality SNPs, while only 52.94% (9/17) accuracy was achieved for low-quality SNPs. These SNPs enrich the data for population genetics studies of P. vannamei and may play a role in the development of SNP markers for future breeding studies.

Complex analysis of the personalized pharmacotherapy in the management of COVID-19 patients and suggestions for applications of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine attitude - Lei-Yun Wang; Jia-Jia Cui; Qian-Ying OuYang; Yan Zhan; Yi-Min Wang; Xiang-Yang Xu; Lu-Lu Yu; Hui Yin; Yang Wang; Chen-Hui Luo; Cheng-Xian Guo; Ji-Ye Yin (EPMA Journal, 2021)
Aims Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is rapidly spreading worldwide. Drug therapy is one of the major treatments, but contradictory results of clinical trials have been reported among different individuals. Furthermore, comprehensive analysis of personalized pharmacotherapy is still lacking. In this study, analyses were performed on 47 well-characterized COVID-19 drugs used in the personalized treatment of COVID-19. Methods Clinical trials with published results of drugs use for COVID-19 treatment were collected to evaluate drug efficacy. Drug-to-Drug Interactions (DDIs) were summarized and classified. Functional variations in actionable pharmacogenes were collected and systematically analysed. “Gene Score” and “Drug Score” were defined and calculated to systematically analyse ethnicity-based genetic differences, which are important for the safer use of COVID-19 drugs. Results Our results indicated that four antiviral agents (ritonavir, darunavir, daclatasvir and sofosbuvir) and three immune regulators (budesonide, colchicine and prednisone) as well as heparin and enalapril could generate the highest number of DDIs with common concomitantly utilized drugs. Eight drugs (ritonavir, daclatasvir, sofosbuvir, ribavirin, interferon alpha-2b, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ceftriaxone had actionable pharmacogenomics (PGx) biomarkers among all ethnic groups. Fourteen drugs (ritonavir, daclatasvir, prednisone, dexamethasone, ribavirin, HCQ, ceftriaxone, zinc, interferon beta-1a, remdesivir, levofloxacin, lopinavir, human immunoglobulin G and losartan) showed significantly different pharmacogenomic characteristics in relation to the ethnic origin of the patient. Conclusion We recommend that particularly for patients with comorbidities to avoid serious DDIs, the predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM, 3 PM) strategies have to be applied for COVID-19 treatment, and genetic tests should be performed for drugs with actionable pharmacogenes, especially in some ethnic groups with a higher frequency of functional variations, as our analysis showed. We also suggest that drugs associated with higher ethnic genetic differences should be given priority in future pharmacogenetic studies for COVID-19 management. To facilitate translation of our results into clinical practice, an approach conform with PPPM/3 PM principles was suggested. In summary, the proposed PPPM/3 PM attitude should be obligatory considered for the overall COVID-19 management.

Establishment of a visualized isothermal nucleic acid amplification method for on‐site diagnosis of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in shrimp farm - Xiaohan Yang; Yu Dong; Chao Ma; Yi Qiao; Ge Jiang; Shiqi Chen; Jingquan Dong; Hui Shen; Song Gao (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a significant deadly infectious disease in the shrimp farming industry, causing serious economic losses globally every year. Because of the rapid progress speed, lack of effective treatment and high mortality rate of AHPND, monitoring with frequent diagnostic tests is vital for a successful prevention. The conventional histopathological diagnosis fell far short of the requirement for efficient monitoring, and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular diagnostic methods that rely on sophisticated thermocycler and trained personnel are hardly applicable in the field. Combining the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and the lateral flow strips (LFSs), a diagnostic method suitable for on‐site everyday monitoring of AHPND has been established in this study. This RPA‐LFS method targeted the binary toxic photorhabdus insect‐related genes PirA and PirB on a virulence plasmid of the AHPND‐causative Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains. The diagnostic test was completed within 30 min at 37°C and showed good specificity and good sensitivity of 20 fg DNA of the AHPND shrimp or one colony‐forming unit of the causative bacterium per reaction, which was better than the administration‐approved standard AP4 assay. Crude templates from sample boiling could be directly used. Tests of clinical samples showed 100% consistency of this method with the standard AP4 assay. This RPA‐LFS method can be a good choice for on‐site diagnosis of AHPND with quick response time, easy procedure and low demand for resources, and should have significant value for the control of spreading of this dangerous disease in farmed shrimp.

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

Distinct methylome patterns contribute to ecotypic differentiation in the growth of the storage organ of a flowering plant (sacred lotus) - Hui Li; Xingyu Yang; Qingfeng Wang; Jinming Chen; Tao Shi (Molecular Ecology, 2021)
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification involved in phenotypic diversity, plant development, and environmental responses. However, the mechanisms of DNA methylation underpinning the adaption of lotus ( Nelumbo nucifera ) ecotypes to high and low latitudes remain unsolved, especially adaptive evolution of their storage organs. Tropical and temperate lotus ecotypes have thin and enlarged rhizomes which are adapted to low and high latitudes, respectively. Here, we investigated the DNA methylomes and transcriptomes of rhizomes of the temperate and tropical lotus to address this issue. Compared with that of the tropical lotus, the DNA of the temperate lotus was significantly more hypermethylated, indicating an increase in global DNA methylation in the lotus, with rhizome enlargement. Meanwhile, genes associated with differentially methylated regions in their promoters tended to be differentially expressed between the two ecotypes. Interestingly, the genes with their expression negatively correlated with methylation levels in their promoters and genomic regions displayed significantly higher transposon coverage, while the genes showing a significant positive correlation between expression and methylation showed lesser transposon coverage. Further, we identified that DNA methylation, especially in the promoter region, was significantly correlated with the expression of many starch‐biosynthetic, gibberellin‐, and brassinosteroid‐signalling genes associated with rhizome differentiation. Overall, our study unveiled that distinct global and local methylation patterns between the two lotus ecotypes contribute to their expression differences and adaptive phenotypic divergence of their storage organs, highlighting the role of DNA methylation in shaping the ecotypic differentiation of lotus.

Variations of carbon allocation and turnover time across tropical forests - Hui Yang; Philippe Ciais; Yilong Wang; Yuanyuan Huang; Jean‐Pierre Wigneron; Ana Bastos; Jérôme Chave; Jinfeng Chang; Christopher E. Doughty; Lei Fan; Daniel Goll; Emilie Joetzjer; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim The carbon sink in tropical forests is a highly uncertain component of the global carbon budget. An understanding of the processes controlling this sink requires better quantification of carbon allocation, stocks and turnover times. Location Tropical forests. Time period 2010–2017. Major taxa studied Tropical forest ecosystem. Methods We develop a novel data assimilation system using satellite‐based annual above‐ground biomass derived from L‐band vegetation optical depth with 25 km × 25 km grid spacing, together with leaf area, to constrain the 25 km × 25 km carbon allocation patterns of net primary productivity (NPP) into the wood, leaf and root pools, and their turnover times. Our average data‐driven estimates of these variables are broadly consistent with independent ground‐based estimates of NPP allocation and wood turnover from forest inventory plots. Results In tropical forest, on average, the NPP allocation into wood (0.30 ± 0.04) is significantly higher than that into leaves (0.24 ± 0.07). From the wet to dry tropics, forest NPP allocation into both wood and leaves declines slightly. The turnover times of forest leaf pools exhibit little spatial variation, whereas the turnover times of wood pools in Africa (median and interquartile range: years) are slightly longer than those in South America ( years) and Southeast Asia ( years). Our datasets reveal emergent trade‐offs across climatic and vegetation gradients between growth and life span/turnover for both wood and leaves. The spatial gradients of NPP allocation to wood/leaves are associated with canopy height, adjusted by climate condition and nutrient acquisition. The spatial gradients of wood and leaf turnover times are influenced mainly by climate and leaf characteristics. Main conclusions Our data‐driven estimates of carbon allocation and turnover times provide a basis for more detailed exploration of these mechanisms in field studies. This highlights that improved model representation of carbon allocation and turnover is necessary for more accurate prediction of future carbon dynamics.

Physiological determinants of biogeography: The importance of metabolic depression to heat tolerance - Ming‐ling Liao; Gao‐yang Li; Jie Wang; David J. Marshall; Tin Yan Hui; Shu‐yang Ma; Yi‐min Zhang; Brian Helmuth; Yun‐wei Dong (Global Change Biology, 2021)
A quantitative understanding of physiological thermal responses is vital for forecasting species distributional shifts in response to climate change. Many studies have focused on metabolic rate as a global metric for analyzing the sublethal effects of changing environments on physiology. Thermal performance curves (TPCs) have been suggested as a viable analytical framework, but standard TPCs may not fully capture physiological responses, due in part to failure to consider the process of metabolic depression. We derived a model based on the nonlinear regression of biological temperature‐dependent rate processes and built a heart rate data set for 26 species of intertidal molluscs distributed from 33°S to ~40°N. We then calculated physiological thermal performance limits with continuous heating using , the temperature at which heart rate is decreased to 50% of the maximal rate, as a more realistic measure of upper thermal limits. Results indicate that heat‐induced metabolic depression of cardiac performance is a common adaptive response that allows tolerance of harsh environments. Furthermore, our model accounted for the high inter‐individual variability in the shape of cardiac TPCs. We then used these TPCs to calculate physiological thermal safety margins (pTSM), the difference between the maximal operative temperature (95th percentile of field temperatures) and of each individual. Using pTSMs, we developed a physiological species distribution model (pSDM) to forecast future geographic distributions. pSDM results indicate that climate‐induced species range shifts are potentially less severe than predicted by a simple correlative SDM. Species with metabolic depression below the optimum temperature will be more thermal resistant at their warm trailing edges. High intraspecific variability further suggests that models based on species‐level vulnerability to environmental change may be problematic. This multi‐scale, mechanistic understanding that incorporates metabolic depression and inter‐individual variability in thermal response enables better predictions about the relationship between thermal stress and species distributions.

Temperature sensitivity of SOM decomposition is linked with a K‐selected microbial community - Hui Li; Shan Yang; Mikhail V. Semenov; Fei Yao; Ji Ye; Rencang Bu; Ruiao Ma; Junjie Lin; Irina Kurganova; Xugao Wang; Ye Deng; Irina Kravchenko; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Temperature sensitivity (Q 10 ) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is a crucial parameter to predict the fate of soil carbon (C) under global warming. Nonetheless, the response pattern of Q 10 to continuous warming and the underlying mechanisms are still under debate, especially considering the complex interactions between Q 10 , SOM quality, and soil microorganisms. We examined the Q 10 of SOM decomposition across a mean annual temperature (MAT) gradient from −1.9 to 5.1°C in temperate mixed forest ecosystems in parallel with SOM quality and bioavailability, microbial taxonomic composition, and functional genes responsible for organic carbon decomposition. Within this temperature gradient of 7.0°C, the Q 10 values increased with MAT, but decreased with SOM bioavailability. The Q 10 values increased with the prevalence of K‐strategy of soil microbial community, which was characterized by: (i) high ratios of oligotrophic to copiotrophic taxa, (ii) ectomycorrhizal to saprotrophic fungi, (iii) functional genes responsible for degradation of recalcitrant to that of labile C, and (iv) low average 16S rRNA operon copy number. Because the recalcitrant organic matter was mainly utilized by the K‐strategists, these findings independently support the carbon quality‐temperature theory from the perspective of microbial taxonomic composition and functions. A year‐long incubation experiment was performed to determine the response of labile and recalcitrant C pools to warming based on the two‐pool model. The decomposition of recalcitrant SOM was more sensitive to increased temperature in southern warm regions, which might attribute to the dominance of K‐selected microbial communities. It implies that climate warming would mobilize the larger recalcitrant pools in warm regions, exacerbating the positive feedback between increased MAT and CO 2 efflux. This is the first attempt to link temperature sensitivity of SOM decomposition with microbial eco‐strategies by incorporating the genetic information and disentangling the complex relationship between Q 10 and soil microorganisms.

Spatial Analysis of the Fishing Behaviour of Tuna Purse Seiners in the Western and Central Pacific Based on Vessel Trajectory Data - Han Zhang; Sheng-Long Yang; Wei Fan; Hui-Min Shi; San-Ling Yuan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The Western and Central Pacific Oceans are the primary operational areas of tuna purse seiners worldwide. Describing and analysing the fishing behaviour of vessels is highly significant for the protection of sustainable tuna resources. This study uses Automatic Identification System (AIS) data of 130 tuna purse seiners from July 2017 to May 2018 and uses data mining methods to identify the operating status of tuna purse seiners; describes the spatial characteristics of fishing intensity and the distribution of hot spots; and analyses vessel spatial characteristics to describe their fishing behaviour. The results show that the tuna purse seiner speed has a marked bimodal distribution, which corresponds to high-speed transiting and low-speed seine operation. Additionally, from July to September 2017, the amount of fishing effort invested by tuna purse seiners was lower than that in other months. The tuna purse seiner activity range includes 120° E–60° W, 30° S–30° N, and the activities for fish and seine operations are primarily concentrated at 140° E–150° W, 15° S–15° N. There are differences between the space for fishing search operations and space where fishing events took place in each month. Spatial analysis shows that the high-speed transiting fishing effort map covers a large area, while seine fishing covers a small area. The global spatial autocorrelation analysis shows that the fishing effort devoted to searching for fish stocks has a spatial distribution pattern of aggregation and close aggregation. The results of a hot-spot analysis show that the hot spots on a heat map for finding fish, which are closely spatially clustered, correspond to vessels searching for fish concentration areas and seine operation areas. Correlation testing shows that under a 5° × 5° grid, there is a high positive correlation between the fishing effort invested in finding fish stocks and the yield data, nets (r > 0.8), and a moderate correlation with catch per unit of effort(CPUE) (r > 0.3). Based on vessel behaviour, the location of the fish school can be directly determined, and the distribution of fish clusters and fishing grounds can be predicted. This study can aid in managing tuna purse seiners in the Western and Central Pacific Oceans and analysing changes in fishery resources.

Analysis of loess landslide mechanism and numerical simulation stabilization on the Loess Plateau in Central China - Wan-li Xie; Qianyi Guo; Jason Y. Wu; Ping Li; Hui Yang; Maosheng Zhang (Natural Hazards, 2021)
Loess landslides have complicated deformation mechanisms. Accurately describing the internal failure deformation of loess landslides and establishing a theoretical method of landslide instability evaluation for the prevention of subsequent landslides have become important topics in western development project construction in China. This paper presents a case study of the Zhonglou Mountain landslide in Shaanxi Province, China. Based on field investigation results, a two-dimensional stability analysis model was constructed using the finite element method. Taking the deformation characteristics of the landslide as the research basis, the distribution laws of the displacement, stress, and shear strain of this landslide were identified with the strength reduction finite element numerical simulation method. Additionally, the safety factor was evaluated under normal and storm conditions. The numerical simulation results show that the horizontal tensile stress of the landslide was mainly distributed in the middle and upper parts of the landslide under normal conditions, while the vertical tensile stress was distributed near the sliding surface. Under heavy rainfall, the sliding force increased, and the anti-sliding force and anti-sliding section decreased; the location of the maximum shear strain shifted down from the middle and upper parts of the landslide body to the area with a shear crack, and the plastic shear strain area expanded along nearly the entire the sliding surface, leading to the occurrence of a landslide. Thus, the use of anti-slide piles to stabilize the landslide was proposed and tested. Monitoring points were arranged along the sliding surface to evaluate the displacement, stress, and strain responses. The on-site observation results agreed with the modeling results. The use of anti-slide piles was demonstrated to be an effective stabilization method for the Zhonglou Mountain landslide.

Experimental evidence for long‐term coexistence of copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria in pelagic surface seawater - Yi Li; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Xi‐Ying Zhang; Yan‐Ru Dang; Lin‐Lin Sun; Wei‐Peng Zhang; Hui‐Hui Fu; Gui‐Peng Yang; Min Wang; Andrew McMinn; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yin Chen; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Most marine copiotrophic bacteria can produce extracellular enzymes to degrade biopolymers into bio‐available smaller solutes, while oligotrophic bacteria usually cannot. Bacterial extracellular enzymes and enzymatic products can be a common resource that could be utilized by both copiotrophs and oligotrophs; when present, oligotrophs may outcompete the enzyme‐producing copiotrophs. However, copiotrophs and oligotrophs consistently coexist in the ocean. How they maintain coexistence has still not been experimentally studied. In this study, the interaction and coexistence of a copiotroph and an oligotroph, isolated from the same surface seawater sample and utilizing the same proteinaceous substrate, were experimentally investigated. The copiotroph could secrete extracellular proteases to degrade and then utilize the proteinaceous substrate. The oligotroph was unable to utilize the proteinaceous substrate by itself, but could grow by using the hydrolysate amino acids. The copiotroph outcompeted the oligotroph by adsorbing the amino acids quickly and having a higher growth rate in the rich medium. The oligotroph survived by adapting to low concentration of nutrients. The copiotroph and oligotroph were able to maintain long‐term (up to 142 days) coexistence in the laboratory. This study indicates that differences in the utilization of different concentrations of nutrients can drive the coexistence of marine copiotrophs and oligotrophs.

Intrinsic enzyme‐like activity of magnetite particles is enhanced by cultivation with Trichoderma guizhouense - Zhi‐Lai Chi; Xiang‐Yang Zhao; Ya‐Ling Chen; Jia‐Long Hao; Guang‐Hui Yu; Bernard A. Goodman; Geoffrey Michael Gadd (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Fungal–mineral interactions can produce large amounts of biogenic nano‐size (~ 1–100 nm) minerals, yet their influence on fungal physiology and growth remains largely unexplored. Using Trichoderma guizhouense NJAU4742 and magnetite (Mt) as a model fungus and mineral system, we have shown for the first time that biogenic Mt nanoparticles formed during fungal–mineral cultivation exhibit intrinsic peroxidase‐like activity. Specifically, the average peroxidase‐like activity of Mt nanoparticles after 72 h cultivation was ~ 2.4 times higher than that of the original Mt. Evidence from high resolution X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses indicated that the unique properties of magnetite nanoparticles largely stemmed from their high proportion of surface non‐lattice oxygen, through occupying surface oxygen‐vacant sites, rather than Fe redox chemistry, which challenges conventional Fenton reaction theories that assume iron to be the sole redox‐active centre. Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry with a resolution down to 50 nm demonstrated that a thin (

Buoyancy Regulation Strategy for Underwater Profiler Based on Adaptive Genetic Algorithm - Hui Zhi; Puzhe Zhou; Yanhu Chen; Xiaoyan Zhao; Yuandong Hong; Mingwei Lin; Canjun Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Considering the energy limitations of underwater vehicles, a strategy for energy saving is proposed. In the proposed buoyancy regulation strategy, oil of the buoyancy regulation system is pumped out several times at different depths instead of all at once. A balance between energy and time is achieved by assigning suitable weights, and the optimised depth which can be obtained from the pressure sensor is used as the judgement threshold based on the adaptive genetic algorithm. Through the numerical simulation using sea trial data, the influence of weight selection on energy and time is explored, and the frequency of oil draining for the vehicle to ascend is optimised. Simulation results show that the proposed buoyancy regulation strategy can save energy effectively when the frequency of oil draining is 4 times within depths of 0–500 m. Finally, trials were performed in Qiandao Lake and verify the contradictory relationship between energy and time.

On future flood magnitudes and estimation uncertainty across 151 catchments in mainland China - Lei Gu; Jiabo Yin; Hongbo Zhang; Hui‐Min Wang; Guang Yang; Xushu Wu (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
As atmospheric moisture holding capacity is positively dependent on temperatures, a large intensification of precipitation extremes is projected under foreseeable climate warming. Flooding that is mainly attributed to extreme storms usually accounts for an ambitious target in weather‐related hazard mitigation over China. Previous works seldom focused on flooding evolution patterns under climate change at a national scale, and fewer flooding projections considered the estimation uncertainty sourced from limited samples. This study systematically projected changes in flood quantiles based on annual maximum series and seasonality and also evaluated the variations of sampling uncertainty for 151 catchments over mainland China under the emission scenario of representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5. In order to project future streamflow series, the bias‐corrected outputs of six global climate models (GCMs) were input into a best‐performing hydrological model, which was selected from four calibrated hydrological models based on the KGE criteria. The Pearson type‐III (P‐III) distribution and L‐moments (L‐M) method were employed to derive the flood quantiles for different return periods during historical (1961–2005) and future (2056–2100) periods, and the bootstrapping method was applied to estimate the sampling uncertainty. A regression trend method was used to track the variations of flood seasonality in the context of climate warming. Our results project earlier flood timing and larger flood quantiles for most catchments in future period than those in the historical period, despite being accompanied by substantial spatial variations. We also project that the sampling uncertainty in estimating flood quantiles is increased in a warming future. Many catchments are exposed to dramatic changes in both flood quantile and estimation uncertainty by over 50%, while only a few catchments are projected to have decreasing flood risks. These results suggest an urgent need to improve the functionality of early warning systems and increase societal resilience to warming climates over China.

Identifying a Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (CCD4) Gene Controlling Yellow/White Fruit Flesh Color of “Piqiutao” (White Fruit Flesh) and Its Mutant (Yellow Fruit Flesh) - Lu Wen; Yongqing Wang; Qunxian Deng; Min Hong; Si Shi; Shanshan He; Yan Huang; Hui Zhang; Cuiping Pan; Zhiwu Yang; Zhuoheng Chi; Yunmiao Yang (Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, 2020)
To better understand the fruit flesh coloration mechanism of peach ( Prunus persica ), the composition and accumulation of carotenoids were compared, the expression profile of key genes involved in carotenoid biosynthetic and catabolic pathways was performed, and the differentially expressed genes were identified using “Piqiutao” (white fruit flesh) and its mutant yellow “Piqiutao” at different fruit development stages. The results showed that the total carotenoid content in yellow “Piqiutao” was remarkably higher than that of “Piqiutao,” and the accumulation of β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene, and β-carotene was significantly different, which was most likely caused by the differential expression of CCD4 . Therefore, CCD4 may be an essential gene that causes the yellow fruit flesh of yellow “Piqiutao.” However, the coding region sequence of CCD4 was entirely identical, and the intron was inserted by a retrotransposon in “Piqiutao” and its mutant, indicating that the expression difference was not caused by the sequence mutation and retrotransposon insertion.

A C‐type lectin with antibacterial activity in weather loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus - Xiao‐Wen Zhang; Cong‐Hui Yang; Hong‐Quan Zhang; Xin‐Tong Pan; Ze‐Yu Jin; Hong‐Wei Zhang; Xiao‐Hua Xia (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020)
C‐type lectins are carbohydrate‐binding proteins that play important roles in immunity by serving as pattern recognition receptors. In the present study, a novel nattectin‐like C‐type lectin was obtained from the weather loach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus , designated as MaCTL. MaCTL encodes a peptide with 165 amino acids, with a signal peptide and a single C‐type lectin domain (CTLD), containing a galactose‐specific QPD motif and a conserved Ca 2+ ‐binding site. Transcripts of MaCTL were significantly upregulated after immune challenge with its pathogen A. hydrophila . In vitro assays with recombinant MaCTL protein revealed that it exhibited hemagglutinating and bacterial agglutinating activities, in a Ca 2+ ‐dependent manner. MaCTL was found to bind to a wide range of bacteria, as well as bind to bacterial polysaccharides LPS and PGN. Moreover, MaCTL displayed antimicrobial activity by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. These results collectively suggest that MaCTL is involved in the antibacterial defence of weather loach.

Nitrogen‐induced acidification, not N‐nutrient, dominates suppressive N effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi - Shang Pan; Yang Wang; Yunpeng Qiu; Dima Chen; Lin Zhang; Chenglong Ye; Hui Guo; Weixing Zhu; Aiqun Chen; Guohua Xu; Yi Zhang; Yongfei Bai; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiosis with most terrestrial plant roots, obtaining photosynthates in return for mineral nutrients. Ecological theories based on the economics of trading partnership predict that nutrient enrichment would suppress AMF. Experimental results from nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions, however, were highly variable, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show distinct AMF responses to soil N:P stoichiometry manipulations via gradients of long‐term N and P additions in a Mongolian steppe. A complementary experiment with an acid addition gradient was designed to help tease apart the effect of N‐induced acidification from N nutrient. AMF root colonization and extraradical fungal biomass progressively decreased along the P gradient under two distinct host plant species, suggesting a carbon (C)‐P tradeoff. In contrast, low to moderate N inputs increased both AMF parameters, corresponding to the increasing N:P ratio. Yet, high N inputs reduced AMF colonization and biomass, and the magnitudes of N‐led inhibition were similar to those under acid additions that induced comparable changes in soil pH. Structural equation modeling further showed that while soil N:P stoichiometry primarily controlled the effect of P addition on AMF, N‐induced soil acidity overtook the N:P stoichiometry under high N inputs and dominated the effects of reactive N on AMF. In addition, AMF community composition in roots was more dependent on host plants and unresponsive to changes in soil nutrients. We further proposed a comprehensive framework that integrates biological and geochemical effects of reactive N and P inputs on AMF. Together, these results indicate that while the C‐P tradeoff controls P suppression of AMF, N‐induced acidification dominates the N inhibition. Our findings suggest that incorporation of geochemical impacts of N and P inputs would facilitate modeling efforts to project mycorrhizal impact on plant interactions and soil C balance under future nutrient enrichment scenarios.
