Elevated ozone decreases the multifunctionality of belowground ecosystems - Xian Gu; Tianzuo Wang; Caihong Li (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Elevated tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) affects the allocation of biomass aboveground and belowground and influences terrestrial ecosystem functions. However, how belowground functions respond to elevated O 3 concentrations ([O 3 ]) remains unclear at the global scale. Here, we conducted a detailed synthesis of belowground functioning responses to elevated [O 3 ] by performing a meta‐analysis of 2395 paired observations from 222 publications. We found that elevated [O 3 ] significantly reduced the primary productivity of roots by 19.8%, 16.3%, and 26.9% for crops, trees and grasses, respectively. Elevated [O 3 ] strongly decreased the root/shoot ratio by 11.3% for crops and by 4.9% for trees, which indicated that roots were highly sensitive to O 3 . Elevated [O 3 ] impacted carbon and nitrogen cycling in croplands, as evidenced by decreased dissolved organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon, total soil nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, microbial biomass nitrogen, and nitrification rates in association with increased nitrate nitrogen and denitrification rates. Elevated [O 3 ] significantly decreased fungal phospholipid fatty acids in croplands, which suggested that O 3 altered the microbial community and composition. The responses of belowground functions to elevated [O 3 ] were modified by experimental methods, root environments, and additional global change factors. Therefore, these factors should be considered to avoid the underestimation or overestimation of the impacts of elevated [O 3 ] on belowground functioning. The significant negative relationships between O 3 ‐treated intensity and the multifunctionality index for croplands, forests, and grasslands implied that elevated [O 3 ] decreases belowground ecosystem multifunctionality.

De Novo Transcriptome Analysis of the Early Hybrid Triploid Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) Provides Novel Insights into Fertility Mechanism - Ziyu Zhou; Gu Shan; Xin Li; Wenxuan Guo; Kexin Ma; Yueyao Yang; Yifan Li; Yunbang Zhang; He Zhou; Xiaojuan Cao (Fishes, 2023)
As a new freshwater aquaculture product, triploid loaches (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) are characterized by fast growth, high-quality meat, high edibility, high resistance to disease, and sterility. In this study, a natural tetraploid loach (4n = 100) (♀) was crossed with a diploid loach (2n = 50) (♂), thus creating the hybrid triploid loach (3n = 75). The histological observations of triploid offspring and diploid controls at 4 days post-hatching (dph), 15dph, 22dph, and 50dph showed that most of the hybrid triploid loaches were abortive in the early gonad differentiation process. To explore its fertility mechanism, through transcriptome analyses of triploid offspring and diploid controls at four periods, 10 differentially expressed genes related to the early fertility mechanism were identified: amh, hormad1, rec8, h2b, plvap, zp3, h2a, nrb0b1, ddx4, and esr2. According to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses of DEGs, two pathways were identified that are closely related to the early fertility mechanism at 50dph: the estrogen signaling pathway and steroid biosynthesis. The findings laid a foundation for further exploration of their molecular inhibition mechanism in hybrid triploid loaches.

Isolation of Swine Bone Marrow Lin-/CD45-/CD133 + Cells and Cardio-protective Effects of its Exosomes - Hongxiao Li; Jianjun Gu; Xiaolin Sun; Qisheng Zuo; Bichun Li; Xiang Gu (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2023)
Background The identification in murine bone marrow (BM) of CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells, possessing several features of pluripotent stem cells, encouraged us to investigate if similar population of cells could be also isolated from the swine BM. Heart failure is the terminal stage of many cardiovascular diseases, and its key pathological basis is cardiac fibrosis (CF). Research showed that stem cell derived exosomes may play a critical role in cardiac fibrosis. The effect of exosomes (Exos) on CF has remained unclear. Objective To establish an isolation and amplification method of CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells from newbron swine BM in vitro, explore an highly efficient method to enrich swine bone marrow derived CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells and probe into their biological characteristics further. Furher more, to extract exosomes from it and explore its effect on CF. Methods The mononuclear cells isolated from swine bone marrow by red blood cell (RBC) lysing buffer were coated by adding FcR blocking solution and coupled with CD133 antibody immunomagnetic beads, obtaining CD133 + cell group via Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (MACS). In steps, the CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells were collected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) labeled with CD133, Lin and CD45 antibodies, which were cultured and amplified in vitro. The biological features of CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells were studied in different aspects, including morphological trait observed with inverted microscope, ultrastructural characteristics observed under transmission electron microscope, expression of pluripotent markersidentified by immunofluorescent staining and Alkaline phosphatase staining. The Exos were extracted using a sequential centrifugation approach and its effects on CF were analyzed in Angiotensin II (Ang-II) induced-cardiac fibrosis in vivo. Rats in each group were treated for 4 weeks, and 2D echocardiography was adopted to evaluate the heart function. The degree of cardiac fibrosis was assessed by Hematoxylin–Eosin (HE) and Masson's trichrome staining. Results The CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells accounted for about 0.2%-0.5% of the total mononuclear cells isolated from swine bone marrow. The combination of MACS and FACS to extract CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells could improved efficiency and reduced cell apoptosis. The CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells featured typical traits of pluripotent stem cells, the nucleus is large, mainly composed of euchromatin, with less cytoplasm and larger nucleoplasmic ratio, which expressed pluripotent markers (SSEA-1, Oct-4, Nanog and Sox-2) and alkaline phosphatase staining was positive.Animal experiment indicated that the cardiac injury related indexes (BNP、cTnI、CK-MB and TNF-α), the expression of key gene Smad3 and the degree of cardiac fibrosis in Exo treatment group were significantly reduced compared with the control group. 4 weeks after the treatment, cardiac ejection fraction (EF) value in the model group showed a remarkable decrease, indicating the induction of HF model. While Exo elevated the EF values, demonstrating cardio-protective effects. Conclusion The CD133 + /Lin-/CD45- cells derived from swine bone marrow were successfully isolated and amplified, laying a good foundation for further research on this promising therapeutic cell. The Exos may be a promising potential treatment strategy for CF. Graphical Abstract

Genetic diversity in early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans: A comparative analysis - Xindong Yao; Jiang-yuan Xu; Zhang-xiong Liu; Martin Pachner; Eva Maria Molin; Leopold Rittler; Volker Hahn; Willmar Leiser; Yong-zhe Gu; Yu-qing Lu; Li-juan Qiu; Johann Vollmann (Euphytica, 2023)
Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a legume crop important for global food security due to supplying high-quality vegetable protein and oil. China is the origin and rich center of soybean genetic diversity represented by numerous landraces and other genetic resources. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, world-wide dissemination of plant introductions laid the foundation of modern soybean production. Due to selection for regional adaptation, present-day elite soybean cultivars do have a comparatively narrow genetic base. However, as genetic variation is the major component of future breeding progress, diversity of early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans was comparatively analyzed using a high-throughput functional SNP array and an SSR marker set. Results revealed a clear differentiation between Chinese and European elite cultivars, and the level of genetic diversity was similar between the two populations. Both in Chinese and European cultivars, unique SSR alleles were found which indicates that selection for specific adaptation can preserve genetic variation. The European population was markedly structured by maturity groups which was less clear in the Chinese population. Structure analysis indicated that European cultivars are based on two major ancestral lines, whereas Chinese elite soybean cultivars trace back to more ancestral lines pointing to the rich natural soybean diversity of China. The results confirm that long-term selection under divergent environmental and agronomic conditions can produce specific diversity which could potentially be utilized for future enhancing both Chinese and European soybean breeding.

An Optimization Model for Ship Speed Based on Maneuvering Control - Xin Li; Yiqing Gu; Xiang Fan; Kang Zou; Xianrui Hou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The increasing frequency of serious environmental issues and high fuel costs have necessitated better energy efficiency in the shipping industry. According to a report by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), ship speed optimization has huge potential. This paper introduces an optimization model of ship speed based on maneuvering control. The trajectory tracking theory and sliding mode control method are applied to simulate the control load of a ship. The propeller mode and rudder mode are used to calculate the corresponding rotating speed of the propeller, the rudder angle and the energy consumption. The accuracy and robustness of the maneuvering control model are validated in a still water scenario and a level 5 sea state scenario. On this basis, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is applied to determine the best speed combination. The result shows that sailing at a constant speed is the most energy-saving strategy in still water. Moreover, due to the effects of wind, waves and currents, ships should sail faster when the sea is calm and slower when the sea is rough. These results are consistent with the actual experiences of a captain.

Here we present observations and analyses of the deepest speleothems (-116 m) collected from the deepest known blue hole on a global scale, the Sansha Yongle Blue Hole, Xisha Islands, South China Sea. The field investigations illustrate that submerged speleothems are irregular cauliflower-like coatings on the downward cave ceiling from water depths of ~90 to 120 m. The downward growth direction and negative stable carbon and oxygen stable isotopes of submerged speleothems suggest that they may deposit in an air-filled condition through gravity drip, indicating the maximum LGM sea level. The deep submerged speleothems were dated, indicating two U–Th ages of 29.16 ± 0.17 and 26.04 ± 0.18 ka BP and one radiocarbon age of 18.64 ± 0.12 ka BP, respectively. The investigated deep submerged speleothems therefore clearly determine the minimum onset and maximum termination times for LGM terms of sea level. The results show that LGM began at ~29 ka BP and ended at ~18.5 ka BP. This study therefore provides initial evidence for the use of deep speleothems to determine LGM sea levels and emphasizes the importance of deep submerged speleothems in the reconstruction of Pleistocene low sea levels.

Abrupt change of a thermal front in a high-biomass coastal zone during early spring - Jian Li; Peiliang Li; Peng Bai; Fangguo Zhai; Yanzhen Gu; Cong Liu; Ruili Sun; Wenfan Wu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Coastal fronts play vital roles in local biogeochemical environment. An abrupt change of Zhejiang-Fujian coastal front (ZFCF) during early spring was well captured by multi-source satellite-retrieved sea surface temperature images. Here in this study, we investigated the mechanism of the abrupt decay with a combination of satellite observation and numerical simulation. Correlation analysis of long-term reanalysis data indicates that the variability of wind, heat flux and the Zhejiang-Fujian coastal current (ZFCC) have significant relationships with the variation of ZFCF in winter. Following heat budget analysis points out that net heat flux and horizontal advection are important in determining the net temperature tendency difference between two water masses of ZFCF during this process. To further explore the intrinsic physical roles of different dynamic factors, a comprehensive numerical investigation was conducted. Compared with the observations, the model reproduced the abrupt change process of the ZFCF satisfyingly. Sensitive experiments reveal that the weakening of the ZFCC, caused by the relaxation of the monsoon, contributes to the abrupt decay of ZFCF in the first half period, and heating effect of the Kuroshio Intrusion (KI) water gives rise to the following half period of the decay under the recovered monsoon. Further, with the impact of the KI water after the change, the ZFCF can be maintained even if the ZFCC is weak, whereas in January, the contribution of the KI water to the formation of the ZFCF seems to be limited under the prevailing monsoon. Besides, the riverine discharge and the tidal forcing can also modulate the spatiotemporal variation of ZFCF, the decrease of the river input also intensifies that decay, while tides fix the front at a specific depth.

Body mass index–based predictions and personalized clinical strategies for colorectal cancer in the context of PPPM - Yun-Jia Gu; Li-Ming Chen; Mu-En Gu; Hong-Xiao Xu; Jing Li; Lu-Yi Wu (EPMA Journal, 2022)
Currently colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer worldwide. Body mass index (BMI) is frequently used in CRC screening and risk assessment to quantitatively evaluate weight. However, the impact of BMI on clinical strategies for CRC has received little attention. Within the framework of the predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (3PM/PPPM), we hypothesized that BMI stratification would affect the primary, secondary, and tertiary care options for CRC and we conducted a critical evidence-based review. BMI dynamically influences CRC outcomes, which helps avoiding adverse treatment effects. The outcome of surgical and radiation treatment is adversely affected by overweight (BMI ≥ 30) or underweight (BMI < 20). A number of interventions, such as enhanced recovery after surgery and robotic surgery, can be applied to CRC at all levels of BMI. BMI-controlling modalities such as exercise, diet control, nutritional therapy, and medications may be potentially beneficial for patients with CRC. Patients with overweight are advised to lose weight through diet, medication, and physical activity while patients suffering of underweight require more focus on nutrition. BMI assists patients with CRC in better managing their weight, which decreases the incidence of adverse prognostic events during treatment. BMI is accessible, noninvasive, and highly predictive of clinical outcomes in CRC. The cost–benefit of the PPPM paradigm in developing countries can be advanced, and the clinical benefit for patients can be improved with the promotion of BMI-based clinical strategy models for CRC.

Study on Distribution Law of Gas Phase and Cavitation in the Pressurization Unit of Helical Axial Flow Multiphase Pump - Yexiang Xiao; Zhonghua Gui; Xuesong Li; Sijia Tao; Guangtai Shi; Chunwei Gu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Due to the irregular change of gas void fraction (GVF) in multiphase pumps, the pressure distribution in the pump is often uneven, which leads to the formation of low-pressure area and thus the occurrence of cavitation. In order to study the gas phase and cavitation distribution in the impeller region of a multiphase pump under different cavitation stages and GVF conditions, this study used numerical calculations as the main method and experimental verification as a secondary method to investigate the cavitation phenomenon in the pump under different stages and GVF conditions. The results showed that at different stages, both the volume fraction and the covering area of the gas phase were reduced to a certain extent with the increase in blade height, and the distribution law of the gas phase on the blade changed with the development of the cavitation stage, especially on the blade surface. At different GVFs, cavitation first occurred at the inlet of the blade SS and then extended along the blade streamline from the inlet to outlet, with the volume fraction and distribution of cavitation gradually increasing and then extending to the blade PS. The results showed that the presence of the gas phase inhibited the development of cavitation in the multiphase pump to some extent, and the cavitation performance of the multiphase pump was better in the presence of the gas phase than in pure water conditions. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for improving the cavitation performance of multiphase pumps.

Interspecific differences and ecological correlations of ultraviolet radiation tolerance in low- and high-altitude fishes - Haoran Gu; Songtao Li; Haoyu Wang; Shudang Zhu; Dengyue Yuan; Zhijian Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a ubiquitous environmental factor and with complex and diverse effects on organisms, and the UVR tolerance of species varies due to selection, adaptation and evolution. This study aimed to improve our understanding of the interspecific differences in UVR tolerance of fishes. First, we compared skin histology between high-altitude fishes and their low-altitude relatives. Second, we assessed the skin histological changes of 22 fish species after UVR exposure and quantified their damage levels. Finally, the factors affecting the difference in UVR tolerance among fishes were studied. Thin or absent scales was a common characteristic of high-altitude fishes in different taxonomic groups, but other skin structure parameters (the thickness of the dermis and epidermis, the size and number of mucous and club cells) did not show convergence. After UVR exposure, the size and number of mucous cells and club cells in the experimental fishes were generally reduced, but the changes in epidermal and dermal thickness varied among species. The change rata of melanin area was strong negatively correlated with the level of damage, indicating that increased melanin was helpful to reduce UVR damage. On the whole, the skin histological changes of high-altitude fishes after UVR exposure did not differ from those of low-altitude fishes. However, the epidermis and dermis of Gymnocypris eckloni and Oncorhynchus mykiss , which had the highest UVR tolerance, were nonpathologically thickened, indicating that they may contribute to UVR tolerance. There were significant interspecific differences in UVR tolerance among the experimental fishes, with high-altitude and cold water fishes showing stronger UVR tolerance. Interestingly, some low-altitude cold water fish (e.g., O. mykiss ) also showed high UVR tolerance, suggesting that besides high-altitude adaptation, low-temperature adaptation also may play an important role in organismal adaptation to UVR.

Numerical Investigation of Gas-Liquid Flow in a Multiphase Pump with Special Emphasis on the Effect of Tip Leakage Vortex on the Gas Flow Pattern - Yexiang Xiao; Zhonghua Gui; Xuesong Li; Zekui Shu; Guangtai Shi; Chunwei Gu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this paper, the gas-liquid flow is comprehensively analyzed under different inlet gas void fractions, and the effect of tip leakage vortex (TLV) on the gas flow pattern in multiphase pumps is revealed. The results show that the gas flow pattern in an impeller is closely related to the centrifugal force, low-pressure region, and vortex motion. Most gas is present near the hub and suction surface of the blade as well as in the TLV. The two- and three-dimensional spatiotemporal evolution of the gas is presented, and the gas motion during the inception, development, and dissipation of TLV is revealed. It is reflected that the gas volume fraction is the highest at the TLV core and gradually weakens along the radial direction with the vortex core at the center. Additionally, the TLV energy dissipation is closely related to the gas and pressure difference, and strong energy dissipation occurs in the jet-wake flow.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Hyotissa hyotis (Bivalvia: Gryphaeidae) Reveals a Unique Gene Order within Ostreoidea - Fengping Li; Mingfu Fan; Shunshun Wang; Zhifeng Gu; Aimin Wang; Chunsheng Liu; Yi Yang; Shikai Liu (Fishes, 2022)
The mitochondrial (mt) genome is an important tool when studying the evolution of metazoan animals. The oyster family Gryphaeidae, together with Ostreidae, is one of the two extant taxa of superfamily Ostreoidea. Up until now, the available mitochondrial genomes of oysters were all limited to family Ostreidae. In the present study, the first complete mtDNA of family Gryphaeidae represented by Hyotissa hyotis was sequenced and compared with other available ostreoid mtDNA. The mtDNA of H. hyotis is 22,185 bp in length, encoding 13 protein-coding-genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 23 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Within all the intergenic regions that range from 2 to 1528 bp, two large non-coding regions were identified. The first large non-coding region, located between Cox1 and trnA, contains 1528 nucleotides, while the second one is 1191 bp in length and positioned between Cytb and Nad2. The nucleotide composition of the whole mtDNA is A + T biased, accounting for 59.2%, with a negative AT skew value of −0.20 and a positive GC skew value of 0.33. In contrast to the mtDNA of Ostreidae, neither the split of rrnL nor rrnS was detected in that of H. hyotis. The duplication of trnW of H. hyotis was also discovered for the first time within Ostreoidea. The gene order of H. hyotis is quite different from those of ostreids, indicating extensive rearrangements within superfamily Ostreoidea. The reconstructed phylogeny supported H. hyotis as sister to Ostreidae, with the latter clade formed by Ostrea + (Saccostrea + Crassostrea). This study could provide important information for further understanding the mitochondrial evolution of oysters.

Being an industrially valuable species of bivalve, Mytilus is widespread in the area around the eastern coast of China. Starvation is an environmental stress that mussels often encounter in their growth. However, few report carried out on the physiological and biochemical response and molecular regulation and adaptation mechanism of mussels under starvation. To illustrate the molecular mechanism of hosts of Mytilus to starvation, the gill transcriptome was used for analysis before and after 9 days of starvation in Mytilus using the Illumina/HiSeq-2000 deep sequencing platform, accompanied by the study of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In total, 42.137 GB of clean data were obtained from six sample libraries, the average amount of clean data of each sample is 7.023 GB, and 58,540 unigenes that average 780 bp in length were assembled. Unigenes were illustrated by commenting them against the NR, Swiss-Prot, Pfam, String, GO and KEGG databases. After 9 days of starvation, 2,188 and 2,672 genes were determined to be significantly up- or down-regulated expression genes, separately. Amongst, 4,860 genes were associated with 260 pathways, contains vital enrichment pathways, such as “Metabolic”, “PI3K-Akt signaling pathway”, “Phagosome”, “Apoptosis” and “Lysosome”. In inclusion, autophagy cells were investigated by an electron microscopy, alongside further observations of the expression of autophagy-related genes in gill tissue before and after starvation. The data indicates that the amount of autophagosomes increased and found that atg2 , atg6 and atg13 were significantly up-regulated. These results indicated that Mytilus may use autophagy to cope with their damage after starvation. With our research results, we have contributed to a deeper understanding of the role of the molecular mechanisms of immune defence in Mytilus under environmental stress, which has given insights into mussel breeding and the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of Mytilus immune system.

Survival virulent characteristics and transcriptomic analyses of Vibrio mimicus exposed to starvation - Ziyan Jiang; Shuwen Gu; Qieqi Qian; Jie Li; Peng Ji; Congcong Wu; Yingjie Zhang; Xiaojian Gao; Qun Jiang; Xiaojun Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Vibrio mimicus is a global causative agent of vibriosis in a variety of aquatic animals and causes major economic losses to aquaculture. It could survive in water for extended periods of time under environmental stress, but its survival strategy remains unknow. This study described the survival, virulent and gene expression changes of V. mimicus cells undergoing starvation stress. After 4 weeks’ cultivation in media without nutrients, V. mimicus Y4 showed reduced rates of activity with marked changes in morphology and physiological activities. The culturable cell counts declined gradually to 10 4 CFU/mL and the shape changed from rod-shaped to coccoid with short rods or spherical. The motility of starved cells decreased after starvation and the biofilm production was significantly lower than wild cells. The starved cells still produced β-hemolysis, lecithinase and caseinase, but its infectivity to Macrobrachium nipponense was weakened. To investigate the mechanism behind morphological and physiological changes, we further analyzed differently expressed genes (DEGs) between starved and wild cells at the whole transcriptional level. The RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that large-scale DEGs were involved in transferase, membrane, dehydrogenase, synthase, flagellar, hemolysin, pilus assembly, and starvation, etc. Among them, the well-known virulence-related genes were downregulated significantly, including vmh , pilA , vipA , capB , tadC , huvX , ompA , etc. These data provide a key resource to understand the regulatory mechanisms of V. mimicus to starvation stress.

Distributed Path Tracking for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Based on Pseudo Position Feedback - Huanli Gao; Wei Li; He Cai; Zekai Gu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this paper, we consider the distributed polynomial path tracking problem for a swarm of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) modeled by second-order uncertain multi-agent systems. The application scenario of this paper has three distinguished characteristics. First, the communication network for the multi-agent system is unreliable and switching. Under the jointly connected condition, the communication network can be disconnected the entire time. Second, it is supposed that only the relative position between AUVs can be obtained for trajectory tracking control. Third, the AUV dynamics are subject to uncertain system parameters. By applying the cooperative output regulation control framework, a novel distributed robust control scheme is proposed to solve the distributed path tracking problem, which consists of three parts. First, to cope with communication network uncertainty, the distributed observer was invoked to recover the polynomial path for each AUV. Second, based on the relative position measurement between AUVs, a pseudo position estimator was adopted to generate the pseudo position for each AUV. Finally, based on the estimated polynomial path and the pseudo position, a certainty equivalent robust internal model control law was synthesized to achieve asymptotic reference trajectory tracking, where the internal model compensator aims to tackle uncertain system parameters. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Genome-Wide Bisulphite Sequencing Uncovered the Contribution of DNA Methylation to Rice Short-Term Drought Memory Formation - Shuyan Kou; Qiongyao Gu; Liu Duan; Gaojing Liu; Pingrong Yuan; Huahui Li; Zhigang Wu; Weihua Liu; Ping Huang; Li Liu (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2022)
Rice is the important crop for more than half of the world population. However, drought can have a devastating impact on rice growth and reduce yield drastically. Understanding the response of rice to drought stress is especially important for crop breeding. Previously we found that rice enhanced its tolerance to drought stresses via stress memory mechanisms. Numerous memory genes were identified to play important roles in the process. DNA methylation was reported to mediate tolerance via regulating gene expression and enhances the survival rate of rice encountering drought stress. However, how DNA methylation involved in stress memory is still not clear. In this study, genome-wide bisulphite sequencing at a single base resolution methylome profiling level was performed and analyzed in rice cultivar under recurrent drought stresses and recovery treatments. We found that rice drought stress memory-related differentially methylated regions (DMRs) showed dynamic and distinct patterns. The drought-memory DMRs may regulate Transposable elements and gene expression to cope with short-term repeated drought stresses. Our findings of drought-memory DMRs can explain mechanisms of rice drought stress memory in a new perspective on global methylome details. Using epigenetic markers to breed drought-resistant rice would become a feasible way in the future research.

Exotic fishes that are phylogenetically close but functionally distant to native fishes are more likely to establish - Meng Xu; Shao‐peng Li; Jaimie T. A. Dick; Dangen Gu; Miao Fang; Yexin Yang; Yinchang Hu; Xidong Mu (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Since Darwin's time, degree of ecological similarity between exotic and native species has been assumed to affect the establishment success or failure of exotic species. However, a direct test of the effect of exotic–native similarity on establishment of exotics is scarce because of the difficulty in recognizing failures of species to establish in the field. Here, using a database on the establishment success and failure of exotic fish species introduced into 673 freshwater lakes, we evaluate the effect of similarity on the establishment of exotic fishes by combining phylogenetic and functional information. We illustrate that, relative to other biotic and abiotic factors, exotic–native phylogenetic and functional similarities were the most important correlates of exotic fish establishment. While phylogenetic similarity between exotic and resident fish species promoted successful establishment, functional similarity led to failure of exotics to become established. Those exotic species phylogenetically close to, but functionally distant from, native fishes were most likely to establish successfully. Our findings provide a perspective to reconcile Darwin's naturalization conundrum and suggest that, while phylogenetic relatedness allows exotic fish species to pre‐adapt better to novel environments, they need to possess distinct functional traits to reduce competition with resident native fish species.

Study on the seasonal variations of dimethyl sulfide, its precursors and their impact factors in the Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea - Yu Guo; Liying Peng; Zishi Liu; Xiaoting Fu; Guicheng Zhang; Ting Gu; Danyang Li; Jun Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is one of the most important volatile biogenic sulfur compounds and plays a significant role in global climate change. Studying the seasonal variations and the environmental factors that affect the concentration of DMS would aid in understanding the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur compounds. Using benzene-assisted photoionization positive ion mobility spectrometry (BAPI-PIMS), the seasonal distribution and the key impact factors of DMS and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea were investigated in the summer and autumn of 2019. The concentrations of DMS and its precursors, DMSPp and DMSPd, in the surface seawater were 0.11–23.90, 0.67–41.38, and 0.03–12.28 nmol/L, respectively, in summer, and 0.10–20.79, 0.39–13.51, and 0.18–20.58 nmol/L, respectively, in autumn. The air-to-sea exchange flux of DMS was 43.05 ± 44.52 and 34.06 ± 63.38 μmol/(m·d), respectively, in summer and autumn. The results demonstrated that the temperature was the most dominant environmental factor, and the abundance of dinoflagellates was the most dominant biological factor that affected the distribution of DMS and DMSP in summer. The abundance of diatoms was the most dominant biological factor, and the levels of PO 4 3- , NO 2 - , NO 3 - , and SiO 3 2- were the dominant environmental factors that affected the distribution of DMS and DMSP in autumn. These results of this study would be of great significance in understanding the biochemical cycle of DMS in BS and NYS.

Evaluating the physiological and biochemical responses of different mangrove species to upwelling - Xiaomei Li; Yutu Wang; Yuhang Zhang; Jingchang Xiang; Zhihao Yang; Fangfang Gu; Meilin Wu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mangroves are unique forest communities with an abundance of species, high productivity and high ecological, social and economic value. Evaluation of the stress resistance of mangrove plants has mainly focused on the effects of high salinity, heavy metals and flooding, with fewer studies evaluating resistance to upwelling stress. Mangrove species of Avicennia marina , Aegiceras corniculatum and Kandelia obovata were submitted to three temperature upwelling (5, 10 and 15°C) and several physiological and biochemical parameters were measured at six time points (0, 6, 12, 24, 72 and 168 h). The data demonstrated: a certain amount of damage occurred to mangrove plants in the face of prolonged upwelling; different mangrove plants have different response strategies to upwelling; mangrove plants are not sensitive to different upwelling temperatures; the resistance of mangrove plants to upwelling stress was in the following order: A. marina< K. obovata < A. corniculatum . Markers of damage such as relative electrical conductivity (REC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) among all mangrove species were significantly higher with prolonged upwelling stress. The contents of photosynthetic pigments in all three mangrove species also increased. Superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) was maintained at a high level in both control and treatment groupss. By contrary, the change of peroxidase activity (POD) of A. marina and K. obovata was larger than that of A. corniculatum . Catalase activity (CAT) in A. marina and K. obovata significantly increased under upwelling at both 5 and 10°C while there was no obvious variation of CAT in A. corniculatum . Soluble protein and Soluble sugar contents showed no clear variation but stayed at fairly high levels. However, proline content in A. corniculatum significantly increased under long-term upwelling stress while this was not the case in the other two species. High correlation could be observed between A. marina and MDA, O 2 - and POD in PCA while A. corniculatum showed association with proline and soluble sugar. In conclusion, the ability of A. corniculatum to tolerate upwelling stress might be due mainly to increases in the activities of SOD and the inducing of proline biosynthesis, while, A marina and K. obovata tolerated upwelling stress by adjusting activity levels of SOD, POD and CAT. Segregation in both principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) further indicated different tolerances and resistances to upwelling between the three species. Our study provides new insights into the stress response of mangroves to upwelling.

Vertical patterns of chlorophyll a in the euphotic layer are related to mesoscale eddies in the South China Sea - Mei-Lin Wu; You-Shao Wang; Yu-Tu Wang; Fu-Lin Sun; Xiaomei Li; Fang-Fang Gu; Jing-Chang Xiang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Phytoplankton closely connects with the hydrodynamics and biogeochemical environment of the ocean. While research focusing on both the physiochemical factors and hydrodynamics regulating phytoplankton has already been conducted, the coupling mechanism between mesoscale eddies and the vertical distribution of phyto plankton in the South China Sea (SCS) is still not well understood. Here, phytoplankton was studied under one weak-cold and two warm eddies along the 18°N transect in the SCS. The results show that the vertical distribution of chlorophyll (chl- a ) presented a similar pattern at all four sampling stations. The mixed layer is less than 50 m. It is the same as the meridional salinity gradients that may be distinguished above a depth of 60 m. The subsurface chlorophyll maximum at the edge of a warm (WI) and cold eddy (CI) at E413 and E411 was shallower than that at the edge of a warm eddy (WII) at E407 and E409, indicating that temperature and salinity may be the important driving factors. On the whole, mesoscale eddies had a significant influence on the vertical pattern of chl- a in the SCS during the study period.

A Three-Dimensional Slip Velocity Model for Water-Lubricated Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings - Yandong Gu; Jinwu Cheng; Hao Sun; Ao Liang; Li Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Hydrodynamic journal bearings, coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and lubricated by water, have been widely used in ships and large-scale pumps, and the function is to maintain the stability of rotor system. However, slip velocity exists on the PTFE-coated surface, whose effect is still an open question. This study aims to investigate the static characteristics of water-lubricated hydrodynamic journal bearings under three-dimensional slip velocity boundary conditions. Firstly, under the non-slip boundary condition, the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) method with ANSYS Fluent is verified based on the Reynolds lubrication equation and the open literature. Then, a three-dimensional slip velocity equation that is based on the Navier slip velocity boundary condition is proposed and embedded into Fluent. Finally, the effects of slip length on the static characteristics are analyzed. Under the same eccentricity ratio, with the increase in slip length, the load capacity decreases due to the decrease of the pressure circumferential gradient, and the friction power decreases. Under the same eccentricity ratio and the same slip length, with the increase in the attitude angle, the load capacity and friction power increase. However, under the non-slip boundary condition, the effects of attitude angle on the load capacity and friction power are insignificant. This paper could provide a reference for studying slip velocity in the hydrodynamic journal bearing.

Phylogeny of Strombidae (Gastropoda) Based on Mitochondrial Genomes - Fengping Li; Jiawen Zheng; Qingxia Ma; Zhifeng Gu; Aimin Wang; Yi Yang; Chunsheng Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The marine gastropod Strombidae is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions all over the world and possesses high morphological diversity. In order to better understand how morphological characteristics evolved within Strombidae, a robust phylogenetic framework is needed. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of Lentigo lentiginosus , Euprotomus aratrum , and Canarium labiatum were sequenced. The three newly sequenced mt genomes contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and several non-coding regions, indicating a similar pattern with respect to genome size, gene order, and nucleotide composition compared with those of other strombids reported before. Two different datasets derived from mitochondrial genes were constructed to resolve the internal phylogenetic relationships of Stromboidea and Strombidae. Within Stromboidea, the sister group formed by Clade I [Rostellariidae + (Seraphsidae + Strombidae)] and Clade II [Xenophoridae + (Struthiolariidae + Aporrhaidae)] were fully recovered and supported by morphological synapomorphies as previously suggested. The phylogenetic positions of L. lentiginosus , E. aratrum , and C. labiatum were confirmed within Strombidae, and several morphological similarities were observed corresponding to the present phylogeny. A correlation between strombids speciation events and paleoclimate change was presumed. Our results indicate that complete mt genomes would be a promising tool to reconstruct a robust phylogeny of Strombidae with an increased taxon sampling in the future.

Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disability-free survival outcome was defined as absence of dementia, persistent disability or death. Selection of potential predictors from amongst 25 biomedical, psychosocial and lifestyle variables including recognized geriatric risk factors, utilizing a machine-learning approach. Separate models were developed for men and women. The selected predictors were evaluated in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model and validated internally by bootstrapping. We included 19,114 Australian and US participants aged ≥65 years (median 74 years, IQR 71.6–77.7). Common predictors of a worse prognosis in both sexes included higher age, lower Modified Mini-Mental State Examination score, lower gait speed, lower grip strength and abnormal (low or elevated) body mass index. Additional risk factors for men included current smoking, and abnormal eGFR. In women, diabetes and depression were additional predictors. The biased-corrected areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the final prognostic models at 5 years were 0.72 for men and 0.75 for women. Final models showed good calibration between the observed and predicted risks. We developed a prediction model in which age, cognitive function and gait speed were the strongest predictors of disability-free survival in healthy older people.

Research on Optimization Design of Fully Parameterized Pump-Jet Propulsion - Chunxiao Wu; Yu Lu; Shewen Liu; Zhiyuan Li; Zhuhao Gu; Wu Shao; Chuang Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
A pump-jet propulsion system is composed of rotor, stator, and duct. The stator has the front stator type and the rear stator type; the conduit also has the acceleration conduit and the deceleration conduit two forms. It is difficult to design and evaluate the performance of a pump-jet propulsion system because of its complex structure and many changes in component parameters. Due to the limitation of time and cost in the design process of the pump-jet propulsion system, it is difficult to find the optimal scheme in the design space. However, under the guidance of an optimization algorithm, the automatic optimization method can fill the design space with a large number of design schemes. In this paper, the geometry reconstruction technique, hydraulic performance evaluation technique and optimization technique of the pump-jet propulsion system are combined to realize the automation of the whole design process. Firstly, the geometric modeling of the pump-jet propulsion system is completed by a full parametric modeling method, and then the hydrodynamic performance of the pump-jet propulsion system is calculated based on the numerical simulation technique. The radial parameters in the fully parametric configuration of the pump-jet propulsion system were selected as the optimization design variables, and the hydro-dynamic performance was optimized as the objective function. Finally, the pump-jet propulsion system optimization design system was constructed by using the global intelligent optimization algorithm. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical guidance for numerical calculation and configuration optimization design of pump-jet propulsion system.

Counter-rotating eddy pair in the Luzon Strait - Ruili Sun; Peiliang Li; Yanzhen Gu; Fangguo Zhai; Yunwei Yan; Bo Li; Yang Zhang (Ocean Science, 2022)
Based on satellite remote-sensing observation data and Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) re-analysis data, we studied the counter-rotating eddy pair in the Luzon Strait (LS). Statistical analysis reveals that when an anti-cyclonic mesoscale eddy (AE) (cyclonic mesoscale eddy [CE]) in the Northwest Pacific (NWP) gradually approaches the east side of the LS, a CE (an AE) gradually forms on the west side of the LS, and it is defined as the AE (CE) mode of the counter-rotating eddy pair in the LS. The counter-rotating eddy pair exhibits obvious seasonal variation: the AE mode mainly occurs in the summer half of the year, while the CE mode mainly occurs in the winter half of the year. The mean durations of the AE and CE modes are both approximately 70 d. Based on the vorticity budget equation and energy analysis, the dynamic mechanism of counter-rotating eddy-pair occurrence is determined to be as follows: the AE (CE) on the east side of the LS causes a positive (negative) vorticity anomaly through horizontal velocity shear on the west side of the LS, and the positive (negative) vorticity anomaly is transported westward by the zonal advection of the vorticity, finally leading to the formation of the CE (AE) on the west side of the LS.

Dissection of the practical soybean breeding pipeline by developing ZDX1, a high-throughput functional array - Rujian Sun; Bincheng Sun; Yu Tian; Shanshan Su; Yong Zhang; Wanhai Zhang; Jingshun Wang; Ping Yu; Bingfu Guo; Huihui Li; Yanfei Li; Huawei Gao; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message We developed the ZDX1 high-throughput functional soybean array for high accuracy evaluation and selection of both parents and progeny, which can greatly accelerate soybean breeding. Abstract Microarray technology facilitates rapid, accurate, and economical genotyping. Here, using resequencing data from 2214 representative soybean accessions, we developed the high-throughput functional array ZDX1, containing 158,959 SNPs, covering 90.92% of soybean genes and sites related to important traits. By application of the array, a total of 817 accessions were genotyped, including three subpopulations of candidate parental lines, parental lines and their progeny from practical breeding. The fixed SNPs were identified in progeny, indicating artificial selection during the breeding process. By identifying functional sites of target traits, novel soybean cyst nematode-resistant progeny and maturity-related novel sources were identified by allele combinations, demonstrating that functional sites provide an efficient method for the rapid screening of desirable traits or gene sources. Notably, we found that the breeding index (BI) was a good indicator for progeny selection. Superior progeny were derived from the combination of distantly related parents, with at least one parent having a higher BI. Furthermore, new combinations based on good performance were proposed for further breeding after excluding redundant and closely related parents. Genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) analysis was the best analysis method and achieved the highest accuracy in predicting four traits when comparing SNPs in genic regions rather than whole genomic or intergenic SNPs. The prediction accuracy was improved by 32.1% by using progeny to expand the training population. Collectively, a versatile assay demonstrated that the functional ZDX1 array provided efficient information for the design and optimization of a breeding pipeline for accelerated soybean breeding.

Genetic and biological characteristics of the globally circulating H5N8 avian influenza viruses and the protective efficacy offered by the poultry vaccine currently used in China - Pengfei Cui; Xianying Zeng; Xuyong Li; Yanbing Li; Jianzhong Shi; Conghui Zhao; Zhiyuan Qu; Yanwen Wang; Jing Guo; Wenli Gu; Qi Ma; Yuancheng Zhang; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
The H5N8 avian influenza viruses have been widely circulating in wild birds and are responsible for the loss of over 33 million domestic poultry in Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Asia since January 2020. To monitor the invasion and spread of the H5N8 virus in China, we performed active surveillance by analyzing 317 wild bird samples and swab samples collected from 41,172 poultry all over the country. We isolated 22 H5N8 viruses from wild birds and 14 H5N8 viruses from waterfowls. Genetic analysis indicated that the 36 viruses formed two different genotypes: one genotype viruses were widely detected from different wild birds and domestic waterfowls; the other genotype was isolated from a whopper swan. We further revealed the origin and spatiotemporal spread of these two distinct H5N8 virus genotypes in 2020 and 2021. Animal studies indicated that the H5N8 isolates are highly pathogenic to chickens, mildly pathogenic in ducks, but have distinct pathotypes in mice. Moreover, we found that vaccinated poultry in China could be completely protected against H5N8 virus challenge. Given that the H5N8 viruses are likely to continue to spread in wild birds, vaccination of poultry is highly recommended in high-risk countries to prevent H5N8 avian influenza.
