Analysis of Whole Blood and Urine Trace Elements in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Autistic Behaviors - Gang Zhao; Si-jin Liu; Xin-yu Gan; Jun-ru Li; Xiao-xue Wu; Si-yan Liu; Yi-si Jin; Ke-rang Zhang; Hong-mei Wu (Biological Trace Element Research, 2023)
The relationship between trace elements and neurological development is an emerging research focus. We performed a case–control study to explore (1) the differences of 13 trace elements chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), stannum (Sn), stibium (Sb), mercury (Hg), titanium (TI), and plumbum (Pb) concentration in whole blood and urine between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children and their typical development peers, and (2) the association between the 13 trace elements and core behaviors of ASD. Thirty ASD subjects (cases) and 30 age-sex-matched healthy subjects from Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, were recruited. Element analysis was carried out by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. Autistic behaviors were assessed using Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), and Children Neuropsychological and Behavior Scale (CNBS). The whole blood concentrations of Mo ( p = 0.004), Cd (0.007), Sn ( p = 0.003), and Pb ( p = 0.037) were significantly higher in the ASD cases than in the controls. Moreover, Se (0.393), Hg (0.408), and Mn (− 0.373) concentrations were significantly correlated between whole blood and urine levels in ASD case subjects. There were significant correlations between whole blood Sb (0.406), Tl (0.365), Mo (− 0.4237), Mn (− 0.389), Zn (0.476), and Se (0.375) levels and core behaviors of ASD. Although the mechanism of trace element imbalance in ASD is unclear, these data demonstrate that core behaviors of ASD may be affected by certain trace elements. Further studies are recommended for exploring the mechanism of element imbalance and providing corresponding clinical treatment measures.

The hard rock stratum will seriously affect the efficiency of deep-sea drilling and greatly increase the cost of drilling operations due to its complexity. In ocean drilling operations, the design of the bit is critical. Therefore, the core bit should be able to drill in a variety of formations, especially in hard rock stratum, with the function of reducing the need to change the bit due to formation changes and improving the drilling efficiency. In this paper, three different core bits were designed according to the hard rock stratum of the seabed: the roller bit, diamond bit and bionic bit. According to the test results, it was observed that: (1) It is fully proven that the roller core bit has the characteristics of stable drilling in hard strata, small torque and high drilling efficiency. The same method can realize the core in shallow soft strata through the setting of drilling parameters. (2) For the diamond bit, the field test data show that the new formula diamond bit has a good adaptability to the changing hard rock strata in this area, with an average rate of penetration (ROP) of 4.4 m/h and a bit life of 137.75 m. (3) For the bionic bit, field experiment data showed that drilling in the formation lithology was gray green tuff, which had a core recovery up to 100%. The average ROP was 1.35 m/h, and the highest ROP was 1.88 m/h. The design and experiment of three kinds of drill bits have effectively solved the technical problem of efficient drilling in deep-sea hard-rock stratum.

The potential bias of nitrogen deposition effects on primary productivity and biodiversity - Yuguang Ke; Qiang Yu; Hongqiang Wang; Yi Zhao; Xiaotong Jia; Yadong Yang; Yunlong Zhang; Wei Zhou; Honghui Wu; Chong Xu; Tao Sun; Yingzhi Gao; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is composed of both inorganic nitrogen (IN) and organic nitrogen (ON), and these sources of N may exhibit different impacts on ecosystems. However, our understanding of the impacts of N deposition is largely based on experimental gradients of INs or more rarely ONs. Thus, the effects of N deposition on ecosystem productivity and biodiversity may be biased. We explored the differential impacts of N addition with different IN:ON ratios (0:10, 3:7, 5:5, 7:3, and 10:0) on aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of plant community and plant diversity in a typical temperate grassland with a long‐term N addition experiment. Soil pH, litter biomass, soil IN concentration, and light penetration were measured to examine the potential mechanisms underlying species loss with N addition. Our results showed that N addition significantly increased plant community ANPP by 68.33%–105.50% and reduced species richness by 16.20%–37.99%. The IN:ON ratios showed no significant effects on plant community ANPP. However, IN‐induced species richness loss was about 2.34 times of ON‐induced richness loss. Soil pH was positively related to species richness, and they exhibited very similar response patterns to IN:ON ratios. It implies that soil acidification accounts for the different magnitudes of species loss with IN and ON additions. Overall, our study suggests that it might be reasonable to evaluate the effects of N deposition on plant community ANPP with either IN or ON addition. However, the evaluation of N deposition on biodiversity might be overestimated if only IN is added or underestimated if only ON is added.

Estimating glacier mass balance in High Mountain Asia based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer retrieved surface albedo from 2000 to 2020 - Yao Xiao; Chang‐Qing Ke; Yubin Fan; Xiaoyi Shen; Yu Cai (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Glacier surface albedo is a key parameter of the glacier mass and energy balance process. Many scholars have used the albedo method to study mass balance for an individual glacier, but less attention has been given to large‐area glaciers. Based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) retrieved glacier surface albedo and in situ mass balance, the correlations between albedo and mass balance are reported. The minimum/mean method (the whole glacier albedo is calculated by averaging the minimum/mean albedo of each grid cell), the MODIS snow albedo products (MxD10A1) and the MCD43A3 shortwave albedo were tested during the melt season (June–August) for four glaciers in the High Mountain Asia (HMA). Results reveal that albedo is well correlated with mass balance, the correlation ( r ) ranging from 0.41 to 0.90. Overall, the minimum method is better than the mean method, and MxD10A1 is better than MCD43A3. The albedo changes were calculated based on the MxD10A1 and the mean method, and a linear relationship is established between albedo changes and digital elevation models (DEMs) calculated mass balance from 2000 to 2016. A strong linear correlation ( r = .9) is found between albedo changes and mass balance while excluding some areas that have insignificant seasonal variation in albedo, and the reconstructed albedo–mass balance relationship can be used to retrieve mass balance in large‐scale glaciers. Furthermore, the average loss of mass from 2000 to 2020 is calculated as −0.225 ± 0.040 m w.e.a −1 . The greatest glacier mass loss is concentrated in the southeastern part of HMA, the mass loss in the north and west is less than that in the southeast, and the glacier mass is in a state of aggravated loss in recent years. Our study also offers a new method for estimating the large‐scale glacier mass balance.

Mulberry leaf extract improves non-specific immunity and antioxidant capacity of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fed a high-starch diet - Jing Tingsen; Luo Hui; Huang Junwa; Li Zhe; Li Yu; Jin Honghao; Zou Xinxi; Ke Zhenlin; Sun Wenbo; Hou Mengdan; Yang Huijun; Ye Hua (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
A 70-day experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of mulberry leaf extract (MLE) on growth, proximate compositions, antioxidant and plasma biochemical parameters, and indices of non-specific immunity of largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) fed a high-starch diet. Two hundred eighty largemouth bass (initial body weight, 68.00 ± 0.19 g) were randomly fed seven diets: basal-starch diet (BSD; 8.88% starch), high-starch diet (HSD; 11.42% starch), and HSD diets supplemented with 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.20%, 0.50%, and 1.00% MLE (MLE1, MLE2, MLE3, MLE4, and MLE5, respectively). The results indicated that HSD and MLE did not significantly affect the growth performance of largemouth bass during the experimental period compared with that of the BSD, but the supplementation with more than 0.20% (MLE3, MLE4, and MLE5) MLE significantly decreased the hepatosomatic index (HSI) values, and 1.00% (MLE5) MLE significantly decreased the viscerosomatic index (VSI) values. The whole-body moisture of fish fed an HSD decreased significantly, while the whole-body lipid content increased significantly in the HSD group compared with the BSD group. Compared with HSD, MLE supplementation significantly decreased the moisture and lipid contents in the whole body. Supplementation with more than 0.20% MLE (MLE3, MLE4, and MLE5) significantly decreased the moisture content in the muscle. Supplementation with 1.00% MLE significantly decreased the content of hepatic and muscle glycogen. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content of the HSD group was significantly increased compared to that of the BSD group, whereas more than 0.10% (MLE2, MLE3, MLE4, and MLE5) MLE significantly decreased the MDA content. Additionally, the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities of MLE5 were significantly higher than those of the HSD group. The complement-3 (C3) content and globulin (GLB) in the plasma of the HSD group were significantly lower than those of the BSD group. Plasma C3 levels in the MLE3, MLE4, and MLE5 groups were significantly higher than those in the HSD group. In addition, glucose (GLU) levels in the MLE3, MLE4, and MLE5 groups were significantly lower than those in the HSD group. Supplementation with 0.50% (MLE4) MLE significantly increased the lysozyme (LYZ) content and decreased the activities of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). Supplementation with 1.00% MLE significantly increased complement-4 (C4) and GLB contents and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Overall, these findings suggest that MLE could improve antioxidant capacity, immune function, and glycolipid metabolism, thereby alleviating the negative effects of a high-starch diet in M. salmoides .

Study on aptamer based high throughput approach identifies natural ingredients against RGNNV - Hongling Wei; Mingzhu Liu; Ke Ke; Shuangyan Xiao; Lin Huang; Qiongyu He; Changping Mo; Hai Pang; Guozhu Xiao; Pengfei Li; Qing Yu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is one of the most destructive pathogens in marine fish aquaculture and is capable of infecting more than 50 fish species worldwide, which resulted in great economic losses. Effective drugs for managing NNV infection are urgently required. Medicinal plants have been known for thousands of years and benefit of medicinal plants against pathogens in aquaculture have emerged. Nowadays, the most commonly used method for detecting virus infection and assessing antiviral drugs efficacy is reverse transcription‐quantitative real‐time PCR. However, the application is limited on account of high reagent costs, complex time‐consuming operations and long detection time. Aptamers have been widely applied in application of pathogens or diseases diagnosis and treatments because of high specificity, strong affinity, good stability, easy synthesized and low costs. This study aimed to establish an aptamer (GBN34)‐based high‐throughput screening (GBN34‐AHTS) model for efficient selection and evaluation of natural ingredients against NNV infection. GBN34‐AHTS is an expeditious rapid method for selecting natural ingredients against NNV, which is characterized with high‐speed, dram, sensitive and accurate. AHTS strategy could reduce work intensity and experimental costs and shorten the whole screening cycle of effective ingredients. AHTS should be suitable for rapid selection of effective ingredients against other viruses, which is important for improving the prevention and controlling of aquatic diseases.

Development and characterization of a skin cell line from Chinese perch ( Siniperca chuatsi ) and its application in aquatic animal viruses - Xian‐Yu Meng; Zi‐Hao Wang; Xue‐Dong Yu; Qi‐Ya Zhang; Fei Ke (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Chinese perch ( Siniperca chuatsi ), an important fish for the aquaculture industry of China, is often affected by viral diseases. A stable and sensitive cell line can play an important role in virus identification and isolation, functional gene identification, virus pathogenic mechanism and antiviral immunity study. In the present study, a new cell line ( S. chuatsi skin cell, SCSC) derived from the skin of S. chuatsi was established. The SCSC mainly consisted of fibroblastic‐like cells, which grew well in M199 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum at 25°C. Chromosome analysis revealed that the SCSC (44%) has a diploid chromosome number of 2 n = 48. The SCSC can be transfected and expressed exogenous gene efficiently. It also showed high sensitivity to several aquatic animal viruses from different families including Rhabdoviridae, Iridoviridae and Reoviridae. In addition, RT‐PCR showed that S. chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) started genome replication as early as 3 h post infection in the cells, which also induced the up‐regulation of a variety of immune‐related genes including these related to interleukin family, pattern recognition receptors, JAK–STAT pathway and interferon regulatory factors. In summary, current study provided a new tool in research of fish viruses and its interaction with host.

Reanalysis‐driven m ulti‐RCM high‐resolution simulation of precipitation within CORDEX East Asia Phase II - Jianping Tang; Yuxin Xiao; Pinhong Hui; Yutong Lu; Ke Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Under the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment‐East Asia second phase (CORDEX‐EA‐II) framework, the performances of three regional climate models (RCMs), including Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, RegCM4 and Consortium for Small‐Scale Modelling model in Climate Mode (CCLM), in simulating the climatic distribution, diurnal variation and extremes of precipitation during 1989–2009 are evaluated. The RCMs are driven by the ERA‐Interim reanalysis and the evaluation is based on both the gridded gauge‐based and the satellite‐derived precipitation data. In general, the RCMs can reproduce the spatial pattern of the mean daily precipitation, with the spatial correlations (SCORs) larger than 0.66, and CCLM has the lowest root‐mean‐square error over East Asia. For the diurnal cycle of precipitation, WRF outperforms the other two RCMs despite the peak time about 3 hr ahead in some areas. RegCM4 overestimates the amplitude of the diurnal curve, and CCLM has limited ability to simulate the diurnal variation over most areas. All the three RCMs can reproduce the spatial patterns of the extreme indices, with the SCORs larger than 0.57. WRF and CCLM perform the best for the frequency of wet days (R1mm) and moderate rain (R20mm), respectively. The intensity indices are overestimated over most land areas, with relatively higher SCORs in WRF and relatively lower biases in RegCM4. The consecutive wet days (CWD) can be well simulated by WRF and CCLM; however, RegCM4 overestimates it over most regions in East Asia. The overestimation of the extreme intensity and frequency indices may be related to the higher water vapour content and the weaker water vapour divergence in the lower layer, as well as the higher mid‐layer geopotential height, especially in CCLM.

A lens-shaped, cold-core anticyclonic surface eddy in the northern South China Sea - Yongfeng Qi; Huabin Mao; Yan Du; Xianpeng Li; Zhou Yang; Ke Xu; Ying Yang; Wanxuan Zhong; Fuchang Zhong; Linghui Yu; Huanlin Xing (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Typically, compared with the normal ocean, an anticyclonic eddy has higher sea surface temperature (SST), greater surface mixed-layer depth (MLD), and a bowl-shaped structure under the action of geostrophy. This study is the first to report an abnormal anticyclonic eddy characterized by a lens-shaped structure, cold core, and shallower MLD, which were observed in situ in the northern South China Sea (SCS) in September 2021. The SST at core of the anticyclonic eddy was 0.4°C lower than that in its peripheral region. The MLD at the center of the eddy was about half of that outside the eddy. Below the surface mixed layer, a lens-shaped structure containing relatively well-mixed water was observed between the two high-gradient layers. Within this lens-shaped structure, the isothermal layers were stretched, but accompanied by water mixing that was about one third of that at the upper and lower bounds of the structure. This eddy originated from a Kuroshio Current intrusion in late October 2020 and died in November 2021, such that its lifespan exceeded 1 year. The shedding of the Kuroshio Loop into the SCS under strong air–sea interactions under continuous sea surface cooling in winter was considered a key mechanism for the generation of the cold core of the eddy. The lens-shaped structure formed below the surface mixed layer and was maintained through geostrophic balance by the subsurface maximum speeds of the Kuroshio Current intrusion (50–100 m), thereby forming a shallower MLD in the eddy center. The subsurface speed maximum within the eddy was also observed by a shipborne acoustic Doppler current profiler at 10 months after its formation, confirming the hypothesized mechanism. This type of abnormal anticyclonic may be a common phenomenon in the northern SCS and has potential implications for the local biogeochemistry, local heat budget, and regional oceanic models.

Metabolic tuning of a stable microbial community in the surface oligotrophic Indian Ocean revealed by integrated meta-omics - Zhang-Xian Xie; Ke-Qiang Yan; Ling-Fen Kong; Ying-Bao Gai; Tao Jin; Yan-Bin He; Ya-Yu Wang; Feng Chen; Lin Lin; Zhi-Long Lin; Hong-Kai Xu; Zong-Ze Shao; et al. (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Understanding the mechanisms, structuring microbial communities in oligotrophic ocean surface waters remains a major ecological endeavor. Functional redundancy and metabolic tuning are two mechanisms that have been proposed to shape microbial response to environmental forcing. However, little is known about their roles in the oligotrophic surface ocean due to less integrative characterization of community taxonomy and function. Here, we applied an integrated meta-omics-based approach, from genes to proteins, to investigate the microbial community of the oligotrophic northern Indian Ocean. Insignificant spatial variabilities of both genomic and proteomic compositions indicated a stable microbial community that was dominated by Prochlorococcus , Synechococcus , and SAR11. However, fine tuning of some metabolic functions that are mainly driven by salinity and temperature was observed. Intriguingly, a tuning divergence occurred between metabolic potential and activity in response to different environmental perturbations. Our results indicate that metabolic tuning is an important mechanism for sustaining the stability of microbial communities in oligotrophic oceans. In addition, integrated meta-omics provides a powerful tool to comprehensively understand microbial behavior and function in the ocean.

The Effects of Ground and Treadmill Running on Energy Metabolism and Muscle Contractile Properties: A Randomized Cross-Over Study - Yuan Zhou; Jian-gang Chen; Xiao-long Li; Xin-liang Pan; Yi-zheng Zhou; Zheng-ao Li; Zhi-cheng Liang; Jia-min Long; Ming-ze Qin; Jing Zhang; Bing Shi; Bing-jun Wan; et al. (Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of ground and treadmill running on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties, providing a basis for the general public to choose running venues. Methods Ten male college students (age, 20.10 ± 1.53 years; height, 176.20 ± 5.49 cm; weight, 72.14 ± 8.25 kg; body fat percent, 12.41% ± 4.65%) were recruited in this study. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured using the accelerometer (GT9X) combined with specific estimation equations. Average heart rate (HR) was measured using a heart rate band (Polar). Muscle contractile properties were assessed by measuring muscle displacement (Dm) and contraction velocity (Vc) using tensiomyography (TMG-S1). Blood glucose (Glu) and lactate (Lac) were measured by portable devices (eB-G and Lactate Scout). The running speed was 9 km/h and the duration was 25 min. Two-way ANOVA (protocol × time) was used to analyze the effect of running protocols on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties. Results EE of treadmill running was significantly higher than EE of ground running (protocol main effect, P < 0.001), and HR of treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running in the first testing time (protocol simple effect, P = 0.026; protocol × time interaction P = 0.043). The decrease in Dm of the rectus femoris after treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running (protocol main effect, P = 0.009). The interaction of different running protocols and testing times on Lac was significant ( P = 0.025), but all results of the simple effects analysis were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Our study found a difference in energy expenditure between treadmill and ground running at 9 km/h with duration of 25 min. In addition, treadmills are more likely to cause a decrease in muscle displacement distance of the rectus femoris measured after exercise than ground running. Future studies are needed to further investigate whether the differences are induced by internal metabolism or the environmental conditions of running.

Summary Light is the crucial environmental signal for desiccation‐tolerant cyanobacteria to activate photosynthesis and prepare for desiccation at dawn. However, the photobiological characteristics of desert cyanobacteria adaptation to one of the harshest habitats on Earth remain unresolved. In this study, we surveyed the genome of a subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme and identified two phytochromes and seven cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) with one or more bilin‐binding GAF (cGMP phosphodiesterase/adenylyl cyclase/FhlA) domains. Biochemical and spectroscopic analyses of 69 purified GAF‐containing proteins from recombinant phycocyanobilin (PCB), biliverdin or phycoerythrobilin‐producing Escherichia coli indicated that nine of these proteins bind chromophores. Further investigation revealed that 11 GAFs form covalent adducts responsive to near‐UV and visible light: eight GAFs contained PCB chromophores, three GAFs contained biliverdin chromophores and one contained the PCB isomer, phycoviolobilin. Interestingly, COO91_03972 is the first‐ever reported GAF‐only CBCR capable of sensing five wavelengths of light. Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses revealed that residue P132 of COO91_03972 is essential for chromophore binding to dual‐cysteine CBCRs. Furthermore, the complement of N . flagelliforme CBCRs is enriched in red light sensors. We hypothesize that these sensors are critical for the acclimatization of N . flagelliforme to weak light environments at dawn.

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.

Pseudomonas simiae WCS417: star track of a model beneficial rhizobacterium - Corné M. J. Pieterse; Roeland L. Berendsen; Ronnie de Jonge; Ioannis A. Stringlis; Anja J. H. Van Dijken; Johan A. Van Pelt; Saskia C. M. Van Wees; Ke Yu; Christos Zamioudis; Peter A. H. M. Bakker (Plant and Soil, 2021)
Background Since the 1980s, numerous mutualistic Pseudomonas spp. strains have been used in studies on the biology of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their interactions with host plants. In 1988, a strain from the Pseudomonas fluorescens group, WCS417, was isolated from lesions of wheat roots growing in a take-all disease-suppressive soil. In subsequent trials, WCS417 limited the build-up of take-all disease in field-grown wheat and significantly increased wheat yield. In 1991, WCS417 was featured in one of the first landmark studies on rhizobacteria-induced systemic resistance (ISR), in which it was shown to confer systemic immunity in carnation ( Dianthus caryophyllus ) against Fusarium wilt. The discovery that WCS417 conferred systemic immunity in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana in 1996 incited intensive research on the molecular mechanisms by which PGPR promote plant growth and induce broad-spectrum disease resistance in plants. Since then, the strain name appeared in over 750 studies on beneficial plant-microbe interactions. Scope In this review, we will highlight key discoveries in plant-microbe interactions research that have emerged from over 30 years of research featuring WCS417 as a model rhizobacterial strain. WCS417 was instrumental in improving our understanding of the microbial determinants that are involved in root colonization and the establishment of mutually beneficial interactions with the host plant. The model strain also provided novel insight into the molecular mechanisms of plant growth promotion and the onset and expression of rhizobacteria-ISR. More recently, WCS417 has been featured in studies on host immune evasion during root colonization, and chemical communication in the rhizosphere during root microbiome assembly. Conclusions Numerous studies on the modes of action of WCS417 have provided major conceptual advances in our understanding of how free-living mutualists colonize the rhizosphere, modulate plant immunity, and promote plant growth. The concepts may prove useful in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in other binary plant-beneficial microbe interactions, and in more complex microbial community contexts, such as the root microbiome.

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.

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.

Evaluation of multi‐RCM high‐resolution hindcast over the CORDEX East Asia Phase II region: Mean, annual cycle and interannual variations - Ke Yu; Pinhong Hui; Weidan Zhou; Jianping Tang (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Based on the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment‐East Asia second phase (CORDEX‐EA‐II) with higher resolution, model results driven by ERA‐Interim reanalysis using WRF, RegCM4 and CCLM are evaluated against the observational datasets including CN05.1, CRU and GPCP during the period of 1989–2009. The results show that the RCMs have the capability to simulate the annual and seasonal mean surface air temperature and precipitation, however, some biases are produced. The biases are highly dependent on the geophysical locations and the RCMs applied, and CCLM agrees better with the observed precipitation over ocean. CCLM also outperforms the other two RCMs in simulating the interannual variations of temperature and precipitation in most sub‐regions, which can be attributed to its better presentation of the interannual variation of large scale circulation. Generally, all the three RCMs can well reproduce the seasonal cycles of the surface air temperature in most sub‐regions, however, only in the northern regions of China can the RCMs well reproduce the seasonal cycles of precipitation.

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 Expression Pattern Analysis of Bacterial Blight Resistance Genes in Oryza officinalis Wall ex Watt Under Xanthomonas oryzae Pv. oryzae Stress - Chunmiao Jiang; Suqin Xiao; Dingqin Li; Ling Chen; Qiaofang Zhong; Fuyou Yin; Tengqiong Yu; Xue Ke; Dunyu Zhang; Jian Fu; Yue Chen; Bo Wang; et al. (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 .

Investigating the Transport Mechanism of PM2.5 Pollution during January 2014 in Wuhan, Central China - Miaomiao Lu; Xiao Tang; Zifa Wang; Lin Wu; Xueshun Chen; Shengwen Liang; Hui Zhou; Huangjian Wu; Ke Hu; Longjiao Shen; Jia Yu; Jiang Zhu (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2019)
Severe haze pollution that occurred in January 2014 in Wuhan was investigated. The factors leading to Wuhan’s PM 2.5 pollution and the characteristics and formation mechanism were found to be significantly different from other megacities, like Beijing. Both the growth rates and decline rates of PM 2.5 concentrations in Wuhan were lower than those in Beijing, but the monthly PM 2.5 value was approximately twice that in Beijing. Furthermore, the sharp increases of PM 2.5 concentrations were often accompanied by strong winds. A high-precision modeling system with an online source-tagged method was established to explore the formation mechanism of five haze episodes. The long-range transport of the polluted air masses from the North China Plain (NCP) was the main factor leading to the sharp increases of PM 2.5 concentrations in Wuhan, which contributed 53.4% of the monthly PM 2.5 concentrations and 38.5% of polluted days. Furthermore, the change in meteorological conditions such as weakened winds and stable weather conditions led to the accumulation of air pollutants in Wuhan after the long-range transport. The contribution from Wuhan and surrounding cities to the PM 2.5 concentrations was determined to be 67.4% during this period. Under the complex regional transport of pollutants from surrounding cities, the NCP, East China, and South China, the five episodes resulted in 30 haze days in Wuhan. The findings reveal important roles played by transregional and intercity transport in haze formation in Wuhan.

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.
