Evaluation of the antiviral activity of naringenin, a major constituent of Typha angustifolia , against white spot syndrome virus in crayfish Procambarus clarkii - Zhong‐Chen Sun; Cheng Chen; Fei‐Fan Xu; Bing‐Ke Li; Jing‐Lei Shen; Tao Wang; Hai‐Feng Jiang; Gao‐Xue Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a serious pathogen threatening global crustacean aquaculture with no commercially available drugs. Herbal medicines widely used in antiviral research offer a rich reserve for drug discovery. Here, we investigated the inhibitory activity of 13 herbal medicines against WSSV in crayfish Procambarus clarkii and discovered that naringenin (NAR) has potent anti‐WSSV activity. In the preliminary screening, the extracts of Typha angustifolia displayed the highest inhibitory activity on WSSV replication (84.62%, 100 mg/kg). Further, NAR, the main active compound of T. angustifolia, showed a much higher inhibition rate (92.85%, 50 mg/kg). NAR repressed WSSV proliferation followed a dose‐dependent manner and significantly improved the survival of WSSV‐challenged crayfish. Moreover, pre‐ or post‐treatment of NAR displayed a comparable inhibition on the viral loads. NAR decreased the transcriptional levels of vital genes in viral life cycle, particularly for the immediately early‐stage gene ie1 . Further results showed that NAR could decrease the STAT gene expression to block ie1 transcription. Besides, NAR modulated immune‐related gene Hsp70 , antioxidant ( cMnSOD, mMnSOD, CAT, GST ), anti‐inflammatory ( COX‐1 , COX‐2 ) and pro‐apoptosis‐related factors (Bax and BI‐1) to inhibit WSSV replication. Overall, these results suggest that NAR may have the potential to be developed as preventive or therapeutic agent against WSSV.

Decreasing Biological Production and Carbon Export Due to the Barrier Layer: A Case Study in the Bay of Bengal - Huangchen Zhang; Linbin Zhou; Kaizhi Li; Zhixin Ke; Yehui Tan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
A freshwater-induced barrier layer (BL) is a common physical phenomenon both in coastal waters and the open ocean. To examine the effects of BL on the biological production and the associated carbon export, a physical-biogeochemical survey was conducted in the Bay of Bengal. Severe depletions of surface phosphorus and the deepening of the nutricline were observed at the BL-affected stations due to the vertical mixing prohibition. The lowered surface chlorophyll a (Chl a ) and squeezed deep Chl a maximum (DCM) layer also resulted in the ~18% lowered vertically integrated Chl a at the said stations. The composition of the net-sampled zooplankton was altered, and the abundance decreased by half at the BL-affected station (29.68 ind. m −3 ) compared with the unaffected station (55.52 ind. m −3 ). Such reductions in major zooplankton groups were confirmed by a video plankton recorder (VPR). The VPR observation indicated that there was a lower (by one-half) abundance of detritus at the BL-affected station, while the much lower carbon export flux rates were estimated to be at the BL-affected station (0.31 mg C m −2 d −1 ) rather than the unaffected station (0.77 mg C m −2 d −1 ). An idealized one-dimensional nutrient-phytoplankton-detritus model identified that the existence of BL can lead to decreased surface nutrients and phytoplankton concentrations, squeezed DCM layers, and lower detritus abundances. Finally, this study indicated that BL layers inhibit biological production and reduce carbon export, thus playing an important role in the ocean biogeochemical cycles.

Thinner Sea Ice Contribution to the Remarkable Polynya Formation North of Greenland in August 2018 - Xiaoyi Shen; Chang-Qing Ke; Bin Cheng; Wentao Xia; Mengmeng Li; Xuening Yu; Haili Li (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2021)
In August 2018, a remarkable polynya was observed off the north coast of Greenland, a perennial ice zone where thick sea ice cover persists. In order to investigate the formation process of this polynya, satellite observations, a coupled ice-ocean model, ocean profiling data, and atmosphere reanalysis data were applied. We found that the thinnest sea ice cover in August since 1978 (mean value of 1.1 m, compared to the average value of 2.8 m during 1978−2017) and the modest southerly wind caused by a positive North Atlantic Oscillation (mean value of 0.82, compared to the climatological value of −0.02) were responsible for the formation and maintenance of this polynya. The opening mechanism of this polynya differs from the one formed in February 2018 in the same area caused by persistent anomalously high wind. Sea ice drift patterns have become more responsive to the atmospheric forcing due to thinning of sea ice cover in this region.

Mid-Level Riverine Outflow Matters: A Case of Microplastic Transport in the Jiulong River, China - Yifan Li; Siguang Liu; Mengyang Liu; Wei Huang; Kai Chen; Yongcheng Ding; Fangzhu Wu; Hongwei Ke; Linghao Lou; Yan Lin; Mingyu Zhang; Fengjiao Liu; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Riverine outflow is one of the major pathways for microplastic transportation to coastal environments. Research on the output of microplastics in small- or medium-sized rivers will help accurately understand the status of their marine loads. In this study, we used both trawling and pumping methods to collect microplastics of different sizes in the Jiulong River Estuary and Xiamen Bay. We found that the abundance of small microplastics (44 μm–5.0 mm) was at least 20 times higher than the large particles (0.33–5.0 mm). The abundance of the large particles ranges from 4.96 to 16.3 particles/m 3 , and that of the small particles ranged from 82.8 to 918 particles/m 3 . Granule was the dominant shape (>60%), and polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the most common components. The riverine flux of small microplastics (44 μm–5 mm, 472 ± 230 t/y) was at a medium level and was eight times greater than that of large particles (0.33–5.0 mm, 61.2 ± 2.6 t/y). The behavior of the large microplastics was relatively conservative, whose abundance had a significant correlation with salinity ( R 2 = 0.927) and was mainly influenced by physical factors. In contrast, results of statistical analysis revealed that more complicated factors influenced the small microplastics.

A Decision-Making Method for Autonomous Collision Avoidance for the Stand-On Vessel Based on Motion Process and COLREGs - Bing Wang; Yixiong He; Weixuan Hu; Junmin Mou; Liling Li; Ke Zhang; Liwen Huang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
A great number of collision accidents can be attributed to incongruous collision-avoidance actions between the give-way vessel and the stand-on vessel in a crossing or overtaking situation. If the give-way vessel does not take appropriate collision-avoidance action according to international regulations for preventing collisions at sea, the last barrier to pass safely is the appropriate and effective collision-avoidance action taken by the stand-on vessel. To find the proper autonomous collision-avoidance action of the stand-on vessel, a method is proposed that combines quantitative analysis rules of collision-avoidance with the deduction of nonlinear maneuvering motion process based on the mathematical model group, which conformity can reach 90%. This research presents a method to calculate the timing and most effective collision-avoidance actions for the stand-on vessel based on the four-stage theory of encountering vessels and the characteristics of vessel motion. The accuracy of the latest-action timing and the action amplitude for the stand-on vessel can be increased to the level of second and degree, respectively. A novel model of collision risk index is constructed by the latest time of the feasible collision-avoidance action on the precise of different course-altering amplitude. Methods to find the stand-on vessel’s proper collision-avoidance actions in the open sea are presented. The simulation indicates the proposed method for the stand-on vessel can make correct collision-avoidance decisions autonomously.

Investigation of the Arctic Sea ice volume from 2002 to 2018 using multi‐source data - Mengmeng Li; Chang‐Qing Ke; Xiaoyi Shen; Bin Cheng; Haili Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
The Arctic sea ice volume (SIV) was investigated by applying sea ice concentration (SIC) and multi‐source sea ice thickness (SIT) products from the Pan‐Arctic Ice‐Ocean Modelling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS), Envisat and CryoSat‐2 (CS‐2) products. The SIV was estimated during the sea ice growth season (October–April) from October 2002 to December 2018. During the Envisat period (October 2002–April 2010), negative SIV trends were estimated by a hybrid Envisat and PIOMAS SIT dataset (defined as Envi‐PIO); the declining trends for both the maximum/minimum SIV were 360 and 177 km 3 ⋅year −1 , respectively; similar SIV trends were obtained by applying only the PIOMAS SIT data. During the CS‐2 period (October 2010–December 2018), no clear trends in the SIV were estimated by either CS‐2 or PIOMAS, except for clear increases in the SIV in northern Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) using the CS‐2 SIT data. The age of sea ice plays an important role in SIV variability. For example, the SIV trend was found to be similar to the multi‐year ice trend between 2003 and 2007. The correlation coefficients between the monthly mean SIV and surface air temperature (SAT) and sea surface temperature (SST) were −0.60 and −0.82, respectively. The decreasing trend in the SIV during the Envisat period was influenced by the increase in the annual maximum SST and minimum SAT. The significant increase in the SIV in northern Greenland and the CAA during the CS‐2 period was related to ice deformation.

Multiple‐scale negative impacts of warming on ecosystem carbon use efficiency across the Tibetan Plateau grasslands - Ning Chen; Yangjian Zhang; Juntao Zhu; Nan Cong; Guang Zhao; Jiaxing Zu; Zhipeng Wang; Ke Huang; Li Wang; Yaojie Liu; Zhoutao Zheng; Ze Tang; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Ecosystem carbon use efficiency (CUEe) is a core parameter of ecosystem process models, but its relationships with climate are still uncertain, especially for ecosystems with harsh environments. Large inconsistencies in climate impacts on the CUEe have been reported among various spatial scales. The goal of this study was to examine whether warming promotes or restricts the CUEe and whether the CUEe responds to a warming gradient in a linear or nonlinear manner. Location Tibetan Plateau. Time period 2000–2018. Major taxa studied Alpine grassland ecosystem. Methods We integrated multiple‐source data of carbon fluxes and CUEe, including warming experiments at a site scale, eddy covariance observations at a landscape scale and synthesized warming experiments and ecosystem process models at a regional scale. Next, we deployed a statistical model to examine the warming impacts on the CUEe across scales; the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on the CUEe and its components were summarized based on the results of standardized major axis tests and routines, structural equation modelling and nonlinear models. Results This study reported a suppressive warming impact on the CUEe, which followed a nonlinear curve with severe inhibition in the high‐level warming treatment. With a warming threshold of 1.5–2.0°C, CUEe response patterns transitioned from no change to a significant decrease. The restriction effects can be ascribed to the joint adverse and asymmetric effects of warming on CUEe components under multiple‐level warming. Warming‐modified relationships among CUEe components and the nonlinear effects of biotic and abiotic factors led to the nonlinear responses of CUEe to warming. Main conclusions This study revealed suppressive and nonlinear effects of warming on the CUEe, including especially dramatic CUEe decreases with high‐level warming. These findings are critical for optimizing model parameters and improving predictions of the carbon sequestration capacity of alpine grasslands.

Community structure of bacterioplankton and its relationship with environmental factors in the upper reaches of the Heihe River in Qinghai Plateau - Zhang Qian‐Qian; Jian Sheng‐Long; Li Ke‐Mao; Wu Zhen‐Bing; Guan Hong‐Tao; Hao Jin‐Wen; Wang Shu‐Yi; Lin Yao‐Yao; Wang Guo‐Jie; Li Ai‐Hua (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Planktonic microorganisms play a key role in the biogeochemical processes of the aquatic system, and they may be affected by many factors. High‐throughput sequencing technology was used in this study to investigate and study the bacterioplankton community of water bodies in the upper reaches of the Heihe River Basin in Qinghai Plateau. Results showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria are the predominant phyla in this river section, while the main genera are Thiomonas , Acidibacillus , Acidocella , Rhodanobacter , Acidithiobacter and Gallionella , which are autochthonous in the acid‐mine drainage. Additionally, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, permanganate index and pH are significantly correlated with the bacterioplankton abundance and are the main limiting factors for the spatial distribution of the bacterioplankton. PICRUSt inferred that the mainstream microbial assemblages had a higher abundance of KOs belong to metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, while the tributary had higher abundance of KOs belong to the immune system. The relationship between bacterioplankton community composition and environmental factors in the Heihe River basin was discussed for the first time in this study, which provides a theoretical basis for the healthy, orderly development of the water environment in the Heihe River Basin.

A unique porin meditates iron‐selective transport through cyanobacterial outer membranes - Guo‐Wei Qiu; Hai‐Bo Jiang; Hagar Lis; Zheng‐Ke Li; Bin Deng; Jin‐Long Shang; Chuan‐Yu Sun; Nir Keren; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Cyanobacteria are globally important primary producers and nitrogen fixers with high iron demands. Low ambient dissolved iron concentrations in many aquatic environments mean that these organisms must maintain sufficient and selective transport of iron into the cell. However, the nature of iron transport pathways through the cyanobacterial outer membrane remains obscure. Here we present multiple lines of experimental evidence that collectively support the existence of a novel class of substrate‐selective iron porin, Slr1908, in the outer membrane of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Elemental composition analysis and short‐term iron uptake assays with mutants in Slr1908 reveal that this protein is primarily involved in inorganic iron uptake and contributes less to the accumulation of other metals. Homologues of Slr1908 are widely distributed in both freshwater and marine cyanobacteria, most notably in unicellular marine diazotrophs. Complementary experiments with a homologue of Slr1908 in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 restored the phenotype of Synechocystis knockdown mutants, showing that this siderophore producing species also possesses a porin with a similar function in Fe transport. The involvement of a substrate‐selective porins in iron uptake may allow cyanobacteria to tightly control iron flux into the cell, particularly in environments where iron concentrations fluctuate.

Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p rescues high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and proliferation inhibition in cardiomyocytes - Fang Wu; Feng Wang; Qian Yang; Yawen Zhang; Ke Cai; Lian Liu; Shuchun Li; YuanZheng Zheng; Jialing Zhang; Yiting Gui; Youhua Wang; Xu Wang; et al.

Maternal hyperglycemia potentially inhibits the development of the fetal heart by suppressing cardiomyocyte proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Different studies have indicated that miRNAs are key regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis and play a protective role in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, the biological function of miRNA-23a in hyperglycemia-related cardiomyocyte injury is not fully understood. The present study investigated the effect of miRNA-23a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis in a myocardial injury model induced by high glucose. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to high glucose to establish an in vitro myocardial injury model and then transfected with miRNA-23a-3p mimics. After miRNA-23a-3p transfection, lens-free microscopy was used to dynamically monitor cell numbers and confluence and calculate the cell cycle duration. CCK-8 and EdU incorporation assays were performed to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to measured cell apoptosis. Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p significantly alleviated high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and cell proliferation inhibition ( p < 0.01 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The cell cycle of the miRNA-23a-3p mimics group was significantly shorter than that of the negative control group ( p < 0.01). The expression of cell cycle–activating and apoptosis inhibition-associated factors Ccna2 , Ccne1 , and Bcl-2 was downregulated by high glucose and upregulated by miRNA-23a-3p overexpression in high glucose-injured H9c2 cells. miRNA-23a-3p mimics transfection before high glucose treatment had a significantly greater benefit than transfection after high glucose treatment ( p < 0.0001), and the rescue effect of miRNA-23a-3p increased as the concentration increased. This study suggests that miRNA-23a-3p exerted a dose- and time-dependent protective effect on high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury.

EFFECT OF DRIP IRRIGATION WITH BRACKISH WATER ON THE SOIL CHEMICAL PROPERTIES FOR A TYPICAL DESERT PLANT ( HALOXYLON AMMODENDRON) IN THE MANAS RIVER BASIN - Guang Yang; Saihua Liu; Ke Yan; Lijun Tian; Pengfei Li; Xiaolong Li; Xinlin He (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
Drip irrigation with brackish water is crucial for the efficient use of scarce water resources and ecological restoration. A 2‐year study was conducted to examine the effects of drip irrigation with brackish water on soil physicochemical properties and on the desert plant Haloxylon ammodendro n which is essential in maintaining the ecological balance in desert areas. Field experiments were conducted to examine the effects of brackish water irrigation with different salinities (1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 g l −1 ) on the salt migration, ion contents and chemical characteristics of the soil solution. For irrigation salinities between 1 and 6 g l −1 , the soil water content increased with elevated salinity, whereas, under treatments with salinities of 9 and 12 g l −1 , the soil water content showed a decreasing trend with elevated salinity. Brackish water irrigation could accumulate salt and the soil salt content in the 60–80 cm soil layer was the highest; With elevated irrigation salinity, the changes in SO 4 2− , Cl − , K + and Na + ion contents in the soil increased significantly. The cations in the soil aqueous solution gradually changed from Ca 2+ to Na + , the anions changed from SO 4 2− to Cl − and the hydrochemical facies changed from SO 4 2− − Ca 2+ ·Mg 2+ to SO 4 2− ·Cl − – Na + . © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Summer albedo variations in the Arctic Sea ice region from 1982 to 2015 - Hai‐Tao Peng; Chang‐Qing Ke; Xiaoyi Shen; Mengmeng Li; Zhu‐De Shao (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The spatiotemporal changes in the sea ice region albedo over the entire Arctic region and in eight subregions (the Central Arctic Ocean [CAO], the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas [BC], the East Siberian and Laptev Seas [ESL], Baffin Bay and Labrador Sea [BL], the Canadian Archipelago [CA], the Greenland Sea [GS], Hudson Bay [HB] and the Kara and Barents Seas [KB]) in the summer of 1982–2015 are analysed with CLARA‐A2‐SAL data. The results indicate that in the summer of 1982–2015, the Arctic Sea ice region albedo fluctuated with a downward trend of −1.6% per decade (significance level of 99%). The BC had the largest decline in the albedo trend of −2.7% per decade (significance level of 99%), and most other subregions had downward trends except the GS, which exhibited a slight upward trend. The mean Arctic Sea ice region albedo was 44%. The high albedo areas were mainly concentrated in the CAO and the vicinity of Greenland. The albedo decreased with decreasing latitude, while the low‐value areas were mainly concentrated in the outer sea ice area. In the Arctic region, both the sea ice concentration (SIC) and the sea ice extent (SIE) showed a decreasing trend, while the near‐surface air temperature (NSAT) and the summer Central Arctic Index (CAI) showed an increasing trend. The Arctic Sea ice region albedo was positively correlated with the SIC and the SIE (0.84, 0.78) and negatively correlated with the NSAT (−0.72), all with a statistical significance level of 99%. The correlation between sea ice region albedo and the summer CAI revealed different relationships in these regions. The BC and ESL had a significant negative correlation, and the GS showed a significant positive correlation. These findings indicated that the decrease in albedo is closely related to the reduction in Arctic Sea ice and the increase in air temperature. In addition, the sea ice region albedo variations in the BC, ESL and GS are also greatly influenced by atmospheric circulation.

American eels produce and release bile acid profiles that vary across life stage - Andrew K. Schmucker; Nicholas Scott Johnson; Ugo Bussy; Ke Li; Heather S. Galbraith; Yu‐Wen Chung‐Davidson; Weiming Li (Journal of Fish Biology, 2020)
The American eel ( Anguilla rostrata ) is an imperilled fish hypothesized to use conspecific cues, in part, to coordinate long‐distance migration during their multistage life history. Here, holding water and tissue from multiple American eel life stages was collected and analysed for the presence, profile and concentration of bile acids. Distinct bile acid profiles were identified in glass, elver, yellow eel and silver eel holding waters using ultraperformance liquid chromatography high‐resolution mass spectrometry and principal component analysis. Taurochenodeoxycholic acid, taurodeoxycholic acid, cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, taurolithocholic acid and taurocholic acid were detected in whole tissue of American glass eels and elvers, and in liver, intestine and gallbladder samples of late‐stage yellow eels. Bile acids were not a major component of silver eel washings or tissue. This study is novel because little was previously known about bile acids produced and emitted into the environment by American eels. Future behavioural studies could evaluate whether any bile acids produced by American eels influence conspecific migratory behaviour.

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) - Zhi-lin Sun; Xiao Li; Wan Zhou; Jun-di Yan; Yue-rong Gao; Xiao-wei Li; Jia-chen Sun; Ke-feng Fang; Qing Zhang; Yu Xing; Ling Qin; Qing-qin Cao (Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2020)
Chinese chestnut ( Castanea mollissima ) is an important germplasm resource for the breeding of Castanea species worldwide with vital ecological and economic value. Biotechnology overcomes the limitations of traditional breeding and accelerates germplasm improvement. However, a genetic transformation system for Chinese chestnut has not yet been established. In this study, a stable and efficient Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation method for Chinese chestnut is described. Embryogenic calli of C. mollissima cv. ‘Yanshanhongli’ were used as the target material. The sensitivity of embryogenic calli to kanamycin was determined, whereby the proliferation of non-transformed calli was completely inhibited at 180 mg/L. Antibiotic inhibition results for Chinese chestnut embryogenic calli showed that 50 mg/L cefotaxime and 500 μM timentin completely inhibited the growth of Agrobacterium tumefaciens but did not affect the normal growth of Chinese chestnut embryogenic calli. When embryogenic calli were co-cultured for 2 days with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 harboring the PBI121-EGFP plasmid, an embryogenic callus transformation efficiency of 4.55% was obtained, and two transgenic chimera were acquired. This Agrobacterium -mediated transformation system for Chinese chestnut provides a fundamental platform for genetic improvement of core germplasm and for further verification of gene function.

Identification and characterisation of tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) associated factor 3 from Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus - Xue‐qing Han; Fengying Gao; Maixin Lu; Zhi‐gang Liu; Miao Wang; Xiao‐li Ke; Yan‐xia Gao (Journal of Fish Biology, 2020)
In this study, we cloned the complementary (c)DNA sequences of tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)‐associated factor 3 ( traf3 ) in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus . The expression patterns of the traf3 gene were investigated and preliminary functional analyses were performed. In healthy fish, traf3 transcript was broadly expressed in all examined tissues, with the highest expression level in the blood and the lowest in the liver. The traf3 gene reached its highest expression at 8 days post‐fertilisation (dpf) during embryonic development. Moreover, we found that expression of traf3 was clearly altered following stimulation with Streptococcus agalactiae in vivo and that traf3 could be induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS), Poly I: C and S. agalactiae WC1535 in Nile tilapia macrophages. Overexpression in 293T cells showed that Traf3 protein was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm and could significantly increase nuclear factor kappa‐light‐chain‐enhancer of activated B cells (NF‐κB) activation. Taken together, these results implied that traf3 could play important roles in the immune response to pathogen invasion.

(Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, 2019)
Background Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae Pv. oryzae ( Xoo ) is one of the most serious diseases of rice worldwide. Oryza officinalis Wall ex Watt, harboring abundant genetic diversity and disease resistance features, are important resources of exploring resistance genes with broad-spectrum resistance to BB. However, the molecular mechanisms and genes of BB resistance in O. officinalis have been rarely explored. Results Here, the BB resistance of four different origin O. officinalis populations in Yunnan were identified by seven representative hypervirulent Xoo races, which exhibited different BB resistance among four populations, in which the BB resistance of the Gengma_Lincang population was the strongest. In addition, the pathogenetic ability of seven Xoo races to O. officinalis was different in that the pathogenicity of PXO99 was stronger than that of C5. There were no remarkable differences in leaf microstructures among four O. officinalis populations, revealing the differences in resistance of four O. officinalis to BB are caused by the endogenous resistance genes. Furthermore, our results proved that there were no nine cloned BB resistance genes in four populations but possessed dominant Xa5 , dominant Xa13 , and recessive xa3/xa26 homologous alleles of xa5 , xa13 , and Xa3 / Xa26 resistance genes. These three homologous genes were isolated and cloned from four populations and named OoXa5 , OoXa13 , and Ooxa3 / xa26 . The expression profile revealed that the expression levels of OoXa13 and Ooxa3/xa26 were significantly down-regulated under PXO99 and C5 stress, especially in the Gengma_Lincang population, suggesting the O. officinalis might enhance BB resistance by down-regulating the expression level of OoXa13 and Ooxa3 / xa26 . Conclusion The BB resistance genes of O. officinalis had its own characteristics by expression pattern and BLAST analysis of OoXa5 , OoXa13 , and Ooxa3 / xa26 , which indicated that there might be new genes or molecular mechanism of BB resistance in O. officinalis. Our studies provided a solid foundation and reference for revealing the molecular mechanism of BB resistance in O. officinalis .

AoStuA, an APSES transcription factor, regulates the conidiation, trap formation, stress resistance and pathogenicity of the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora - Meihua Xie; Yunchuan Wang; Liyan Tang; Le Yang; Duanxu Zhou; Qing Li; Xuemei Niu; Ke‐Qin Zhang; Jinkui Yang (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The APSES protein family comprises a conserved class of fungus‐specific transcriptional regulators. Some members have been identified in partial ascomycetes. In this study, the APSES protein StuA (AoStuA) of the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora was characterized. Compared with the wild‐type (WT) strain, three Δ AoStuA mutants grew relatively slowly, displayed a 96% reduction in sporulation capacity and a delay in conidial germination. The reduced sporulation capacity correlated with transcriptional repression of several sporulation‐related genes. The mutants were also more sensitive to chemical stressors than the WT strain. Importantly, the mutants were unable to produce mycelial traps for nematode predation. Moreover, peroxisomes and Woronin bod ies were abundant in the WT cells but hardly found in the cells of those mutants. The lack of such organelles correlated with transcriptional repression of some genes involved in the biogenesis of peroxisomes and Woronin bod ies. The transcript levels of several genes involved in the cAMP/PKA signalling pathway were also significantly reduced in the mutants versus the WT strain, implicating a regulatory role of AoStuA in the transcription of genes involved in the cAMP/PKA signalling pathway that regulates an array of cellular processes and events. In particular, AoStuA is indispensable for A . oligospora trap formation and virulence.

Development of novel aptamer‐based enzyme‐linked apta‐sorbent assay (ELASA) for rapid detection of mariculture pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus - Qing Yu; Mingzhu Liu; Hehe Xiao; Siting Wu; Xianling Qin; Ke Ke; Siqiao Li; Huizhi Mi; Deqiang Shi; Pengfei Li (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019)
As the major opportunistic pathogen to both marine animals and humans, Vibrio alginolyticus ( V. alginolyticus ) has caused heavy economic losses to mariculture. ssDNA aptamer VA2 targeting live V. alginolyticus was generated by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) technology in our previous study. In this study, we first developed aptamer (VA2)‐based enzyme‐linked apta‐sorbent assay (VA2‐ELASA) for rapid detection of mariculture pathogen V. alginolyticus . The VA2‐ELASA could achieve the rapid detection for V. alginolyticus infection with high specificity and sensitivity. The VA2‐ELASA could specifically identify V. alginolyticus , but not other non‐target bacterial strains. VA2‐ELASA could detect V. alginolyticus at the concentration of 5 × 10 4 /ml, the incubation time short to 1 min and the incubation temperature as high as 45°C, which proved sensitivity and stability of the novel VA2‐ELASA in this study. It took less than one hour to accomplish the detection process by VA2‐ELASA. The characteristics of specificity, sensitivity and easy operation make VA2‐ELASA a novel useful technology for the rapid diagnosis of pathogen V. alginolyticus in mariculture.
