Melatonin Improves Drought Resistance in Maize Seedlings by Enhancing the Antioxidant System and Regulating Abscisic Acid Metabolism to Maintain Stomatal Opening Under PEG-Induced Drought - Zhuo Li; Xiaoyu Su; Yulu Chen; Xiaocong Fan; Lingzhi He; Jiameng Guo; Yongchao Wang; Qinghua Yang (Journal of Plant Biology, 2021)
Maize ( Zea mays L.) is highly sensitive to drought stress, resulting in large losses in yield; therefore, strategies aimed at enhancing drought tolerance are essential. Melatonin improves stress tolerance in plants; however, its mechanism in maize seedlings under drought stress remains unknown. Therefore, we investigated the effects of foliar-sprayed melatonin (100 umol L −1 ) on the antioxidant system, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters, stomatal behavior, endogenous melatonin and abscisic acid (ABA)-related gene expression in maize seedling leaves under 20% polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress. PEG treatment resulted in oxidative stress and stomatal closure, resulting in chlorophyll degradation and inhibition of photosynthesis; thereby, reducing seedling biomass. Melatonin pretreatment significantly improved the relative water content, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters and stomatal behavior; thereby, maintaining chlorophyll contents and photosynthesis. Melatonin also stimulated the antioxidant system, enhancing the clearance of reactive-oxygen species, preventing severe damage under PEG-induced drought. Pre-treatment also increased endogenous melatonin and inhibited up-regulation of NCED1 , an ABA synthesis-related gene, as well as selectively up-regulating ABA catabolic genes ABA8ox1 and ABA8ox3 , reducing ABA accumulation and inducing stomatal reopening. Overall, these findings suggest that melatonin pre-treatment alleviated the inhibitory effects of drought stress on photosynthesis, enhancing tolerance in maize seedlings.

Coupling urban 3‐D information and circuit theory to advance the development of urban ecological networks - Fanhua Kong; Ding Wang; Haiwei Yin; Iryna Dronova; Fan Fei; Jiayu Chen; Yingxia Pu; Manchun Li (Conservation Biology, 2021)
Ongoing, rapid urban growth accompanied by habitat fragmentation and loss challenges biodiversity conservation and leads to decreases in ecosystem services. Application of the concept of ecological networks in the preservation and restoration of connections among isolated patches of natural areas is a powerful conservation strategy. However, previous approaches often failed to objectively consider the impacts of complex 3‐D city environments on ecological niches. We used airborne lidar‐derived information on the 3‐D structure of the built environment and vegetation and detailed land use and cover data to characterize habitat quality, niche diversity, and human disturbance and to predict habitat connectivity among 38 identified habitat core areas (HCAs) in Nanjing, China. We used circuit theory and Linkage Mapper to create a landscape resistance layer, simulate habitat connectivity, and identify and prioritize important corridors. We mapped 64 links by using current flow centrality to evaluate each HCA's contribution and the links that facilitate intact connectivity. Values were highest for HCA links located in the west, south, and northeast of the study area, where natural forests with complex 3‐D structures predominate. Two smaller HCA areas had high centrality scores relative to their extents, which means they could act as important stepping stones in connectivity planning. The mapped pinch‐point regions had narrow and fragile links among the HCAs, suggesting they require special protection. The barriers with the highest impact scores were mainly located at the HCA connections to Purple Mountain and, based on these high scores, are more likely to indicate important locations that can be restored to improve potential connections. Our novel framework allowed us to sufficiently convey spatially explicit information to identify targets for habitat restoration and potential pathways for species movement and dispersal. Such information is critical for assessing existing or potential habitats and corridors and developing strategic plans to balance habitat conservation and other land uses based on scientifically informed connectivity planning and implementation.

Paeoniflorin reduces the inflammatory response of THP-1 cells by up‐regulating microRNA-124 - Danyun Huang; Zhijun Li; Yue Chen; Yan Fan; Tao Yu (Genes & Genomics, 2021)
Background The activation of macrophages and the release of inflammatory cytokines are the main reasons for the progress of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). MicroRNA (miRNA)-124 is involved in the regulation of macrophages and is a key regulator of inflammation and immunity. Objective To explore whether paeoniflorin (PF) regulates the biological functions of macrophages depends on miR-124. Methods RT-PCR, WB, ELISA, CCK-8 and flow cytometry were used to evaluate that PF regulated the biological functions of THP-1 cells through miR-124. Results PF significantly inhibited the proliferation while promotes the apoptosis of THP-1 cells, and inhibited the release of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1βin THP-1 cells. RT-PCR results shown that PF up-regulated the expression of miR-124 in THP-1 cells. Functional recovery experiments showed that compared with the LPS + mimic-NC group, LPS + miR-124 mimic significantly inhibited the proliferation and the release of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β, but promoted the apoptosis of THP-1 cells. In addition, compared with the LPS + PF + inhibitor-NC group, LPS + PF + miR-124 inhibitor significantly promoted the proliferation and the release of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β, but inhibited the apoptosis of THP-1 cells. Conclusions By down-regulating miR-124, PF inhibits the proliferation and inflammation of THP-1 cells, and promotes the apoptosis of THP-1 cells.

Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms for the Quality Assessment of Wearable ECG Signals Via Lenovo H3 Devices - Fan Fu; Wentao Xiang; Yukun An; Bin Liu; Xianqing Chen; Songsheng Zhu; Jianqing Li (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2021)
Purpose Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals collected from wearable devices are easily corrupted with surrounding noise and artefacts, where the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of wearable ECG signals is significantly lower than that from hospital ECG machines. To meet the requirements for monitoring heart disease via wearable devices, eliminating useless or poor-quality ECG signals (e.g., lead-falls and low SNRs) can be solved by signal quality assessment algorithms. Methods To compensate for the deficiency of the existing ECG quality assessment system, a wearable ECG signal dataset from heart disease patients collected by Lenovo H3 devices was constructed. Then, this paper compares the performance of three machine learning algorithms, i.e., the traditional support vector machine (SVM), least-squares SVM (LS-SVM) and long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithms. Different non-morphological signal quality indices (i.e., the approximate entropy (ApEn), sample entropy (SaEn), fuzzy measure entropy (FMEn), Hurst exponent (HE), kurtosis (K) and power spectral density (PSD) features) extracted from the original ECG signals are fed into the three algorithms as input. Results The true positive rate, true negative rate, sensitivity and accuracy are used to evaluate the performance of each method, and the LSTM algorithm achieves the best results on these metrics (97.14%, 86.8%, 97.46% and 95.47%, respectively). Conclusions Among the three algorithms, the LSTM-based quality assessment method is the most suitable for the signals collected by the Lenovo H3 devices. The results also show that the combination of statistical features can effectively evaluate the quality of ECG signals.

Summer precipitation characteristics on the southern Tibetan plateau - Chen Zeng; Fan Zhang; Li Wang; Deliang Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Precipitation is an important source of streamflow and a critical parameter in hydrological studies. However, spatiotemporal variation of precipitation in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has been poorly characterized due to the limited distribution of meteorological stations mostly in the lowlands. In this study, we set‐up rain gauges to study summer precipitation on mountain slopes in three catchments of the southern TP from 2013 to 2016. We studied the precipitation gradients (PGs) averaged during the Indian monsoon season (PG ms ), as well as daily PGs (PG d ) and unit PGs (PG u ) under various precipitation intensity grades (PIGs) and subdiurnal precipitation distributions. We also analysed the correlations between the PGs and precipitation amounts under various PIGs. Results showed that the mean PG ms , PG d and PG u in the study catchments were 0.0071–0.0082% for monsoon season, 0.11–0.13 mm·100 m −1 d −1 and 2.2–3.1%·100 m −1 for the total (nonintensity‐graded) precipitation, but varied widely under different PIGs. PG ms , PG d and PG u were all strongly correlated to precipitation amounts, which were relatively consistent between years but varied between different catchments. In addition, the correlations showed a steep positive slope under fine precipitation but became flat or even negative with increasing PIG. Generally, two distinct precipitation peaks were noted in each of the three catchments: a dispersed peak in the morning, and a stronger but sharper peak at around 18:00 LST; overall, this subdiurnal pattern was temporally stable. The mean precipitation durations of the three catchments were approximately 1.0–1.4 hr (nonintensity‐graded) and increased from d and PG u better represented precipitation at different altitudes than that of PG ms . Summer precipitation in the study catchments was influenced more by valley‐scale convection than by large‐scale monsoon circulation.

Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. There are 57 trans‐frontier rivers in the country, the widest being the Brahmaputra River. The river's channels have frequently changed course, but the relationship between such river migrations and human settlement patterns has remained unstudied. In this paper, optically stimulated luminescence and radiocarbon dating techniques were applied to sedimentary and organic materials in the oldest urban center (Wari‐Bateshwar) in Bangladesh. The results showed that the landscape around the urban center was dominated by floodplain and peatland facies between 7.9–7.6 and 4.7–1.6 ka, respectively. Humans occupied this area at ~3.2 ka, and manufactured delicate semi‐precious gemstone beads between ~2.4 and 1.8 ka. The urban center might be the same as an important city of the Gangaridai described in historical records. Due to fluvial migration at ~1.8 ka, the area surrounding the urban center was covered by fluvial sand. Humans might have been forced to abandon the urban center, leading to the bead processing technology in Bangladesh being lost forever.

Hepatitis B virus X protein promotes liver cell pyroptosis under oxidative stress through NLRP3 inflammasome activation - Wen-hui Xie; Jian Ding; Xiao-xia Xie; Xiao-huang Yang; Xiao-Fan Wu; Zhi-xin Chen; Qi-lan Guo; Wen-yu Gao; Xiao-zhong Wang; Dan Li (Inflammation Research, 2020)
Objective Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) is a pivotal factor for HBV-induced hepatitis. Herein, we sought to investigate HBx-mediated NLR pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and pyroptosis under oxidative stress. Methods The effect of HBx on the NLRP3 inflammasome was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunofluorescence in hepatic HL7702 cells. Pyroptosis was evaluated by western blotting, lactate dehydrogenase release, propidium iodide staining, and transmission electron microscopy. NLRP3 expression in the inflammasome from liver tissues was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results In hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )-stimulated HL7702 cells, HBx triggered the release of pro-inflammatory mediators apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1); activated NLRP3; and initiated pro-inflammatory cell death (pyroptosis). HBx localized to the mitochondria, where it induced mitochondrial damage and production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS). Treatment of HL7702 cells with a mitoROS scavenger attenuated HBx-induced NLRP3 activation and pyroptosis. Expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1β in liver tissues from patients were positively correlated with HBV DNA concentration. Conclusions The NLRP3 inflammasome was activated by elevated mitoROS levels and mediated HBx-induced liver inflammation and hepatocellular pyroptosis under H 2 O 2 -stress conditions.

Progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the common final outcome for all kidney diseases evolving into chronic kidney disease (CKD), whereas molecular mechanisms driving fibrogenesis remain elusive. Retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I), an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, is originally identified participating in immune response by recognizing virus RNA. Here, we revealed for the first time that RIG-I was induced in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and folic acid (FA) renal fibrosis models and moderate-degree renal fibrosis patients. Besides, we found RIG-I was mainly located in renal tubular epithelial cells and promoted the production and release of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 through activation of NF-κB. Inflammatory cytokines released by tubular epithelial cells activated c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad signaling in fibroblasts, which in turn aggravated interstitial fibrosis by promoting fibroblast activation and production of extracellular matrix components (ECM). Deficiency of RIG-I attenuated renal fibrosis by the regulation of inflammatory responses, c-Myc expression, and fibroblast activation. Besides, gene silencing of RIG-I reduced inflammatory cytokines in cultured tubular epithelial cells treated with Angiotensin II. Knockdown of c-Myc or c-Myc inhibitor blocked IL-1β-induced fibroblast activation. Collectively, our study demonstrates that RIG-I plays a significant role in the progress of renal fibrosis via regulating c-Myc-mediated fibroblast activation. Key messages • RIG-I was constantly elevated in kidneys from renal fibrotic mice. • RIG-I facilitated inflammatory cytokine production in tubular epithelial cells. • RIG-I aggravated renal fibrosis via c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad activation.

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

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits—almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

Nature reserves (NR) are the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation. Over the past 60 years, the rapid expansion of NRs in China, one of the world's megadiverse countries, has played a critical role in slowing biodiversity loss. We examined the changes in the number and area of China's NRs from 1956 to 2014 and analyzed the effect of economic development on the expansion of China's NRs from 2005 to 2014 with linear models. Despite a continuing increase in the number of NRs, the total area of China's NRs decreased by 3% from 2007 to 2014. This loss resulted from downsizing and degazettement of existing NRs and a slowdown in the establishment of new ones. Nature reserves in regions with rapid economic development exhibited a greater decrease in area, suggesting that downsizing and degazettement of NRs are closely related to the intensifying competition between economic growth and conservation. For example, boundary adjustments to national NRs, the most strictly protected NRs, along the coast of China's Yellow Sea, a global biodiversity hotspot with a fast‐growing economy, resulted in the loss of one‐third of the total area. One of the most important ecosystems in these NRs, tidal wetlands, decreased by 27.8% because of boundary adjustments and by 25.2% because of land reclamation. Our results suggest conservation achievement, in terms of both area and quality, are declining at least in some regions in the Chinese NR estate. Although the designation of protected areas that are primarily managed for sustainable use has increased rapidly in recent years in China, we propose that NRs with biodiversity conservation as their main function should not be replaced or weakened.
