SYL3-k increases style length and yield of F1 seeds via enhancement of endogenous GA4 content in Oryza sativa L. pistils - Xiaojing Dang; Yuanqing Zhang; Yulong Li; Siqi Chen; Erbao Liu; Bingjie Fang; Qiangming Liu; Dong She; Zhiyao Dong; Zhilan Fan; Dalu Li; Hui Wang; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message SYL3-k allele increases the outcrossing rate of male sterile line and the yield of hybrid F 1 seeds via enhancement of endogenous GA 4 content in Oryza sativa L. pistils. The change in style length might be an adaptation of rice cultivation from south to north in the northern hemisphere. Abstract The style length (SYL) in rice is one of the major factors influencing the stigma exertion, which affects the outcross rate of male sterile line and the yield of hybrid F 1 seeds. However, the biological mechanisms underlying SYL elongation remain elusive. Here, we report a map-based cloning and characterisation of the allele qSYL3-k . The qSYL3-k allele encodes a MADS-box family transcription factor, and it is expressed in various rice organs. The qSYL3-k allele increases SYL via the elongation of cell length in the style, which is associated with a higher GA 4 content in the pistil. The expression level of OsGA3ox2 in pistils with qSYL3-k alleles is significantly higher than that in pistils with qSYL3-n allele on the same genome background of Nipponbare. The yield of F 1 seeds harvested from plants with 7001S SYL3−k alleles was 16% higher than that from plants with 7001S SYL3−n allele. The sequence data at the qSYL3 locus in 136 accessions showed that alleles containing the haplotypes qSYL3 AA , qSYL3 AG , and qSYL3 GA increased SYL, whereas those containing the haplotype qSYL3 GG decreased it. The frequency of the haplotype qSYL3 GG increases gradually from the south to north in the northern hemisphere. These findings will facilitate improvement in SYL and yield of F 1 seeds henceforward.

Not out of the woods yet: Signatures of the prolonged negative genetic consequences of a population bottleneck in a rapidly re‐expanding wader, the black‐faced spoonbill Platalea minor - Shou‐Hsien Li; Yang Liu; Chia‐Fen Yeh; Yuchen Fu; Carol K. L. Yeung; Chun‐Cheng Lee; Chi‐Cheng Chiu; Tung Hui Kuo; Fang‐Tse Chan; Yu‐Chia Chen; Wen‐Ya Ko; Cheng‐Te Yao (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
The long‐term persistence of a population which has suffered a bottleneck partly depends on how historical demographic dynamics impacted its genetic diversity and the accumulation of deleterious mutations. Here we provide genomic evidence for the genetic effect of a recent population bottleneck in the endangered black‐faced spoonbill ( Platalea minor ) after its rapid population recovery. Our data suggest that the bird's effective population size, N e , had been relatively stable (7500–9000) since 22,000 years ago; however, a recent brief yet severe bottleneck ( N e = 20) which we here estimated to occur around the 1940s wiped out >99% of its historical N e in roughly three generations. Despite a >15‐fold population recovery since 1988, we found that black‐faced spoonbill population has higher levels of inbreeding (7.4 times more runs of homozygosity) than its sister species, the royal spoonbill ( P. regia ), which is not thought to have undergone a marked population contraction. Although the two spoonbills have similar levels of genome‐wide genetic diversity, our results suggest that selection on more genes was relaxed in the black‐faced spoonbill; moreover individual black‐faced spoonbills carry more putatively deleterious mutations (Grantham's score > 50), and may therefore express more deleterious phenotypic effects than royal spoonbills. Here we demonstrate the value of using genomic indices to monitor levels of genetic erosion, inbreeding and mutation load in species with conservation concerns. To mitigate the prolonged negative genetic effect of a population bottleneck, we recommend that all possible measures should be employed to maintain population growth of a threatened species.

Culture enrichment was developed to discover the uncharted microbial species in the environmental microbiota. Yet this strategy has not been widely used to study microbes of deep-sea environments. Here, we report the cultivation and metagenomic analysis of oceanic sediment microbiota collected from 6,477 m deep in the Mariana Trench. The sediment samples were cultured anaerobically in the laboratory for 4 months, before being subjected to full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing using the PacBio technique and metagenome sequencing using both the Illumina and Oxford Nanopore techniques. The 16S rRNA gene analyses revealed 437 operational taxonomic units specific to the cultured microbes, despite the lower diversity of the cultured microbiota in comparison with the original. Metagenome analyses revealed the prevalence of functions related to respiration, energy production, and stress response in the cultured microbes, suggesting these functions may contribute to microbial proliferation under laboratory conditions. Binning of the assembled metagenome contigs of the cultured microbiota generated four nearly complete genomes affiliated to yet unclassified species under the genera Alcanivorax , Idiomarina , Sulfitobacter , and Erythrobacter . Excepting Alcanivorax , the other three genera were almost undetectable in the original samples and largely enriched in the cultured samples. The four genomes possessed a variety of genes for carbohydrate utilization and nitrite reduction, pointing to an ability to respire diverse carbon sources using nitrite as the final electron acceptor. Taken together, the findings suggest that a combination of culture enrichment and long-read sequencing is an ideal way to mine novel microbial species in the hadal environment, particularly species that are rare in their native environmental niches, and thus expand our understanding of the hadal microbial diversity and function.

The Innate Immune Response to Infection by Polyascus gregaria in the Male Chinese Mitten Crab (Eriocheir sinensis), Revealed by Proteomic Analysis - Yanping Yang; Fengjiao Ma; Juanjuan Dong; Lianxing Li; Ping Ren; Yuning Zhang; Yatao Wu; Yinping Wang; Kai Liu; Fang Zhang (Fishes, 2021)
The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a representative catadromous invertebrate of the Yangtze River and a commercial species widely cultivated in China. Both cultivated and wild crabs suffer from a variety of parasites and pathogens, which can result in catastrophic economic losses in aquaculture revenue. Polyascus gregaria, a parasitic barnacle with a highly derived morphology, is specialized in invading these crabs. This study examines the immunological mechanism in E. sinensis infected with P. gregaria. Tandem mass tags (TMT), a specialized method of mass-spectrometry, was used to analyze the infection by P. gregaria resistance at the protein level. In the hepatopancreas of infected crabs, 598 proteins differentially expressed relating to physiological change, of which, 352 were upregulated and 246 were downregulated. Based on this differential protein expression, 104 GO terms and 13 KEGG pathways were significantly enriched. Differentially expressed proteins, such as ATG, cathepsin, serpin, iron-related protein, Rab family, integrin, and lectin, are associated with the lysosome GO term and the autophagy-animal KEGG pathways, both of which likely relate to the immune response to the parasitic P. gregaria infection. These results show the benefit of taking a detailed, protein-level approach to understanding the innate immune response of aquatic invertebrates to macroparasite infection.

Conversion mechanism of a continuous pressure arch structure in strip filling mining - Xiaoping Shao; Long Wang; Xin Li; Zhiyu Fang; Bingchao Zhao; Ershuai Liu; Lang Liu (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021)
Strip mining is the key technology to solve the problem of coal mining under water, so mastering the law of overburden load transfer in strip mining is the key to safe production in working face. We studied it in the context of the shallow seam No. 3 in the Shanghe Coal Mine (northern Shaanxi Province, China) through similarity simulation and field measurement analysis. A theoretical analysis, based on the concept of pressure arch, allowed the establishment of a continuous arch theoretical model for the strip coal pillars (or filling bodies) of the mine. A similar simulation study on strip filling and staged mining has previously shown that, in a first stage, the overlying strata load is mainly transferred to the remaining strip coal pillars; in a second stage, this load is mainly sustained by the odd-numbered strip coal pillars; finally, in a third stage, this load is mainly sustained by the first-stage strip filling body, while the third-stage filling body is not loaded. Our theoretical analysis showed that, during the first stage, the overlying rock load outside the arch was mainly sustained by the arch structure, while that inside of the arch was sustained by the filling body; in the second stage, the arch structure lost stability during the recovery of the even-numbered coal pillars and the arch axis developed upward, leading to the formation of a new arch with an odd number of coal pillars as the arch foot; in the third stage, after the recovery of the odd-numbered coal pillars, a new arch was formed. The arch foot of the new supporting structure was represented by the first-stage filling body; moreover, the load was mainly borne by the second-stage filling body, ensuring the stability of the overburden rock after mining. The theoretical analysis revealed that the pillar or filling body only bears part of the overburden load in strip filling mining. The pillar (filling body) load in correspondence of working face 3216 during each stage of filling was measured and analyzed, proving a continuous arch structure transformation between the pillar and the filling body. Finally, we verified the reliability of the proposed theoretical model.

Spatiotemporal variability of fire effects on soil carbon and nitrogen: A global meta‐analysis - Jinquan Li; Junmin Pei; Jiajia Liu; Jihua Wu; Bo Li; Changming Fang; Ming Nie (Global Change Biology, 2021)
A consensus about the fire‐related soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) impacts that determine soil health and ecosystem services at the global scale remains elusive. Here, we conducted a global meta‐analysis of 3173 observations with 1444, 1334, 228, and 167 observations for soil C, N, pyrogenic C (PyC), and the percent of PyC to total organic C (PyC/TOC) from 296 field studies. Results showed that fire significantly decreased soil C (−15.2%) and N (−14.6%) but increased soil PyC (40.6%) and PyC/TOC (30.3%). Stronger negative fire impacts on soil C and N were found in tropical and temperate climates than in Mediterranean and subtropical climates; stronger effects were found in forest ecosystems than in non‐forest ecosystems. Wildfire and high‐severity fire led to greater soil C and N losses than prescribed and low‐severity fires, respectively, while they promoted greater increases in soil PyC and PyC/TOC than prescribed and low‐severity fires, respectively. However, soil C and N recovered to control levels approximately 10 years after fire, which is a shorter period than previously determined. These results suggest that fire‐induced PyC production should be accounted for in the C budget under global change. These results will improve our knowledge of the spatiotemporal variability of fire effects on soil C and N storage and have implications for fire management and ecosystem recovery.

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

Kidney disease is manifested in a wide variety of phenotypes, many of which have an important hereditary component. To delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pediatric nephropathy, a multicenter registration system is being implemented based on the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (CCGKDD). In this study, all the patients with kidney and urological diseases were recruited from 2014 to 2020. Genetic analysis was conducted using exome sequencing for families with multiple affected individuals with nephropathy or clinical suspicion of a genetic kidney disease owing to early-onset or extrarenal features. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 883 of 2256 (39.1%) patients from 23 provinces in China. Phenotypic profiles showed that the primary diagnosis included steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS, 23.5%), glomerulonephritis (GN, 32.2%), congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT, 21.2%), cystic renal disease (3.9%), renal calcinosis/stone (3.6%), tubulopathy (9.7%), and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu, 5.8%). The pathogenic variants of 105 monogenetic disorders were identified. Ten distinct genomic disorders were identified as pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs) in 11 patients. The diagnostic yield differed by subgroups, and was highest in those with cystic renal disease (66.3%), followed by tubulopathy (58.4%), GN (57.7%), CKDu (43.5%), SRNS (29.2%), renal calcinosis /stone (29.3%) and CAKUT (8.6%). Reverse phenotyping permitted correct identification in 40 cases with clinical reassessment and unexpected genetic conditions. We present the results of the largest cohort of children with kidney disease in China where diagnostic exome sequencing was performed. Our data demonstrate the utility of family-based exome sequencing, and indicate that the combined analysis of genotype and phenotype based on the national patient registry is pivotal to the genetic diagnosis of kidney disease.

BCC-ESM1 Model Datasets for the CMIP6 Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project (AerChemMIP) - Jie Zhang; Tongwen Wu; Fang Zhang; Kalli Furtado; Xiaoge Xin; Xueli Shi; Jianglong Li; Min Chu; Li Zhang; Qianxia Liu; Jinghui Yan; Min Wei; et al. (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2021)
BCC-ESM1 is the first version of the Beijing Climate Center’s Earth System Model, and is participating in phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project (AerChemMIP) is the only CMIP6-endorsed MIP in which BCC-ESM1 is involved. All AerChemMIP experiments in priority 1 and seven experiments in priorities 2 and 3 have been conducted. The DECK (Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima) and CMIP historical simulations have also been run as the entry card of CMIP6. The AerChemMIP outputs from BCC-ESM1 have been widely used in recent atmospheric chemistry studies. To facilitate the use of the BCC-ESM1 datasets, this study describes the experiment settings and summarizes the model outputs in detail. Preliminary evaluations of BCC-ESM1 are also presented, revealing that: the climate sensitivities of BCC-ESM1 are well within the likely ranges suggested by IPCC AR5; the spatial structures of annual mean surface air temperature and precipitation can be reasonably captured, despite some common precipitation biases as in CMIP5 and CMIP6 models; a spurious cooling bias from the 1960s to 1990s is evident in BCC-ESM1, as in most other ESMs; and the mean states of surface sulfate concentrations can also be reasonably reproduced, as well as their temporal evolution at regional scales. These datasets have been archived on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) node for atmospheric chemistry studies.

Leading modes of Asian–Australian monsoon interannual variability as represented in CMIP5 models - Fang Zhou; Hong‐Li Ren; Ming‐Hong Liu; Run Wang; Kai Huang (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
The Asian–Australian monsoon (AAM) exerts a strong impact on the regional climate. The ability of climate models to simulate the AAM is of great importance. This study evaluates the performance of 26 models, which participate in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5), in representing features of the leading modes of the AAM interannual variability. This is achieved by diagnosing quantitative metrics derived from a Season‐reliant Empirical Orthogonal Function (S‐EOF) analysis, and plausible external forcing contributing to the simulation results are presented. Our results show that the CMIP5 models can generally capture the spatial patterns of the leading modes of AAM interannual variability during El Niño development periods because of strong air–sea interactions. The variance percentage explained by the first two S‐EOF modes is found to be closely related to the amplitude of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the models. In contrast, simulation of the periodicity remains challenging, and the models show deficiencies in the accurate capture of periodic characteristics. Models with realistic ENSO simulations typically perform well in simulating S‐EOF1, and the key to improving the simulation of S‐EOF2 is the greater intensity of the simulated field of background heating over the Northwest Pacific warm pool. The multimodel ensemble (MME) performs better than most of the 26 individual models. Models in the MME with better ENSO simulation and stronger warm pool heating are found to be better able to represent the relationships between the first two leading S‐EOF modes and ENSO, although biases remained.

Warming leads to more closed nitrogen cycling in nitrogen‐rich tropical forests - Zhiyang Lie; Wenjuan Huang; Xujun Liu; Guoyi Zhou; Junhua Yan; Yuelin Li; Chumin Huang; Ting Wu; Xiong Fang; Mengdi Zhao; Shizhong Liu; Guowei Chu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Warming may have profound effects on nitrogen (N) cycling by changing plant N demand and underground N supply. However, large uncertainty exists regarding how warming affects the integrated N dynamic in tropical forests. We translocated model plant‐soil ecosystems from a high‐altitude site (600 m) to low‐altitude sites at 300 and 30 m to simulate warming by 1.0°C and 2.1°C, respectively, in tropical China. The effects of experimental warming on N components in plant, soil, leaching, and gas were studied over 6 years. Our results showed that foliar δ 15 N values and inorganic N (NH 4 ‐N and NO 3 ‐N) leaching were decreased under warming, with greater decreases under 2.1°C of warming than under 1.0°C of warming. The 2.1°C of warming enhanced plant growth, plant N uptake, N resorption, and fine root biomass, suggesting higher plant N demand. Soil total N concentrations, NO 3 ‐N concentrations, microbial biomass N and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal abundance were decreased under 2.1°C of warming, which probably restricted bioavailable N supply and arbuscular mycorrhizal contribution of N supply to plants. These changes in plants, soils and leaching indicated more closed N cycling under warming, the magnitude of which varied over time. The closed N cycling became pronounced during the first 3 years of warming where the sustained reductions in soil inorganic N could not meet plant N demand. Subsequently, the closed N cycling gradually mitigated, as observed by attenuated positive responses of plant growth and less negative responses of microbial biomass N to warming during the last 3 years. Overall, the more closed N cycling under warming could facilitate ecosystem N retention and affect production in these tropical forests, but these effects would be eventually mitigated with long‐term warming probably due to the restricted plant growth and microbial acclimation.

Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p rescues high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and proliferation inhibition in cardiomyocytes - Fang Wu; Feng Wang; Qian Yang; Yawen Zhang; Ke Cai; Lian Liu; Shuchun Li; YuanZheng Zheng; Jialing Zhang; Yiting Gui; Youhua Wang; Xu Wang; et al. (In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2020)
Maternal hyperglycemia potentially inhibits the development of the fetal heart by suppressing cardiomyocyte proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Different studies have indicated that miRNAs are key regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis and play a protective role in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, the biological function of miRNA-23a in hyperglycemia-related cardiomyocyte injury is not fully understood. The present study investigated the effect of miRNA-23a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis in a myocardial injury model induced by high glucose. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to high glucose to establish an in vitro myocardial injury model and then transfected with miRNA-23a-3p mimics. After miRNA-23a-3p transfection, lens-free microscopy was used to dynamically monitor cell numbers and confluence and calculate the cell cycle duration. CCK-8 and EdU incorporation assays were performed to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to measured cell apoptosis. Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p significantly alleviated high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and cell proliferation inhibition ( p < 0.01 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The cell cycle of the miRNA-23a-3p mimics group was significantly shorter than that of the negative control group ( p < 0.01). The expression of cell cycle–activating and apoptosis inhibition-associated factors Ccna2 , Ccne1 , and Bcl-2 was downregulated by high glucose and upregulated by miRNA-23a-3p overexpression in high glucose-injured H9c2 cells. miRNA-23a-3p mimics transfection before high glucose treatment had a significantly greater benefit than transfection after high glucose treatment ( p < 0.0001), and the rescue effect of miRNA-23a-3p increased as the concentration increased. This study suggests that miRNA-23a-3p exerted a dose- and time-dependent protective effect on high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury.

Creation of fertility-restored materials for Ogura CMS in Brassica oleracea by introducing Rfo gene from Brassica napus via an allotriploid strategy - Hai-long Yu; Zhi-yuan Li; Wen-jing Ren; Feng-qing Han; Li-mei Yang; Mu Zhuang; Hong-hao Lv; Yu-mei Liu; Zhi-yuan Fang; Yang-yong Zhang (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2020)
Key message Ogura CMS fertility-restored materials, with 18 chromosomes, normal seed setting, stable fertility and closer genetic background to the parent Chinese kale, were successfully developed in B. oleracea via a triploid strategy for the first time. Abstract Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is the most widely used sterile type in seed production for commercial hybrids of Brassica oleracea vegetables. However, the natural Ogura CMS restorer line has not been found in B. oleracea crops. In this study, the triploid strategy was used with the aim to create euploid B. oleracea progenies with the Rfo gene. The allotriploid AAC hybrid YL2 was used as a male parent to backcross with Ogura CMS Chinese kale. After successive backcrosses, the BC 2 Rfo -positive individual 16CMSF2-11 and its BC 3 progenies, with 18 chromosomes, were developed, which were morphologically identical to the parent Chinese kale. Compared with F 1 and BC 1 plants, it showed stable fertility performance, and regular meiosis behavior and could produce seeds normally under natural pollination. The genomic composition analysis of Rfo -positive progenies by using molecular markers showed that more than 87% of the C-genome components of BC 3 Rfo -progenies recovered to the parent Chinese kale, while most or all of the A n -genome segments were lost in 16CMSF2-11 and its progenies. The results suggested that the genetic background of Rfo -positive individuals was closer to that of the parent Chinese kale along with backcrossing. Hereof, the Ogura CMS fertility-restored materials of Chinese kale were successfully created via triploid strategy for the first time, providing a bridge for utilizing the Ogura CMS B. oleracea germplasm in the future. Moreover, our study indicates that the triploid strategy is effective for transferring genes from B. napus into B. oleracea .

Impacts of atmospheric and oceanic initial conditions on boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation forecast in the BCC model - Zhongkai Bo; Xiangwen Liu; Weizong Gu; Anning Huang; Yongjie Fang; Tongwen Wu; Weihua Jie; Qiaoping Li (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2020)
In this paper, we evaluate the capability of the Beijing Climate Center Climate System Model (BCC-CSM) in simulating and forecasting the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO), using its simulation and sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) hindcast results. Results show that the model can generally simulate the spatial structure of the BSISO, but give relatively weaker strength, shorter period, and faster transition of BSISO phases when compared with the observations. This partially limits the model’s capability in forecasting the BSISO, with a useful skill of only 9 days. Two sets of hindcast experiments with improved atmospheric and atmosphere/ocean initial conditions (referred to as EXP1 and EXP2, respectively) are conducted to improve the BSISO forecast. The BSISO forecast skill is increased by 2 days with the optimization of atmospheric initial conditions only (EXP1), and is further increased by 1 day with the optimization of both atmospheric and oceanic initial conditions (EXP2). These changes lead to a final skill of 12 days, which is comparable to the skills of most models participated in the S2S Prediction Project. In EXP1 and EXP2, the BSISO forecast skills are improved for most initial phases, especially phases 1 and 2, denoting a better description for BSISO propagation from the tropical Indian Ocean to the western North Pacific. However, the skill is considerably low and insensitive to initial conditions for initial phase 6 and target phase 3, corresponding to the BSISO convection’s active-to-break transition over the western North Pacific and BSISO convection’s break-to-active transition over the tropical Indian Ocean and Maritime Continent. This prediction barrier also exists in many forecast models of the S2S Prediction Project. Our hindcast experiments with different initial conditions indicate that the remarkable model errors over the Maritime Continent and subtropical western North Pacific may largely account for the prediction barrier.

Different experiences of two PRRT2-associated self-limited familial infantile epilepsy - Qianlei Zhao; Zhenwei Liu; Ying Hu; Shiyu Fang; Feixia Zheng; Xiucui Li; Feng Li; Zhongdong Lin (Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2020)
To analyze the clinical characteristics and PRRT2 gene mutation of self-limited familial infantile epilepsy and evaluate the treatment responses of different antiepileptic drugs in self-limited familial infantile epilepsy. We reviewed the clinical feature and genetic mutation results and treatment responses of two sibling sisters. They were detected with the PRRT2 gene mutation through Sanger sequencing. Elder sister was treated with oxcarbazepine oral suspension, while younger sister was treated with levetiracetam oral solution. The two sibling sisters exhibited PRRT2 heterozygous mutation inherited from their mother in c.649dupC p.(Arg217fs). Oxcarbazepine oral suspension had an immediate effect on the elder sister who was treated with it. However, levetiracetam oral solution had no effect on younger sister even though the dose was increased, but she got seizure-free after turning to oxcarbazepine oral suspension. Oxcarbazepine, which plays the mechanism of the sodium channel blockers, has a more significant effect than levetiracetam, which has no mechanism of the sodium channel blockers in self-limited familial infantile epilepsy.

Plants use only a fraction of their photosynthetically derived carbon for biomass production (BP). The biomass production efficiency (BPE), defined as the ratio of BP to photosynthesis, and its variation across and within vegetation types is poorly understood, which hinders our capacity to accurately estimate carbon turnover times and carbon sinks. Here, we present a new global estimation of BPE obtained by combining field measurements from 113 sites with 14 carbon cycle models. Our best estimate of global BPE is 0.41 ± 0.05, excluding cropland. The largest BPE is found in boreal forests (0.48 ± 0.06) and the lowest in tropical forests (0.40 ± 0.04). Carbon cycle models overestimate BPE, although models with carbon–nitrogen interactions tend to be more realistic. Using observation‐based estimates of global photosynthesis, we quantify the global BP of non‐cropland ecosystems of 41 ± 6 Pg C/year. This flux is less than net primary production as it does not contain carbon allocated to symbionts, used for exudates or volatile carbon compound emissions to the atmosphere. Our study reveals a positive bias of 24 ± 11% in the model‐estimated BP (10 of 14 models). When correcting models for this bias while leaving modeled carbon turnover times unchanged, we found that the global ecosystem carbon storage change during the last century is decreased by 67% (or 58 Pg C).

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access - Jens Kattge; Gerhard Bönisch; Sandra Díaz; Sandra Lavorel; Iain Colin Prentice; Paul Leadley; Susanne Tautenhahn; Gijsbert D. A. Werner; Tuomas Aakala; Mehdi Abedi; Alicia T. R. Acosta; George C. Adamidis; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
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.

HprK Xcc is a serine kinase that regulates virulence in the Gram‐negative phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris - Rui‐Fang Li; Ping Cui; Ping‐Zhen Wei; Xing‐Yan Liu; Ji‐Liang Tang; Guang‐Tao Lu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The HprK serine kinase is a component of the phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (PTS) of bacteria that generally regulates catabolite repression through phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the PTS protein PtsH at a conserved serine residue. However, many bacteria do not encode a complete PTS or even have an HprK homologue. Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris ( Xcc ) is a pathogen that cause black rot disease in crucifer plants and one of the few Gram‐negative bacteria that encodes a homologue of HprK protein (herein HprK Xcc ). To gain insight into the role of HprK Xcc and other PTS‐related components in Xcc we individually mutated and phenotypically assessed the resulting strains. Deletion of hprK Xcc demonstrated its requirement for virulence and other diverse cellular processes associated including extracellular enzyme activity, extracellular‐polysaccharide production and cell motility. Global transcriptome analyses revealed the HprK Xcc had a broad regulatory role in Xcc . Additionally, through overexpression, double gene deletion and transcriptome analysis we demonstrated that hprK Xcc shares an epistatic relationship with ptsH . Furthermore, we demonstrate that HprK Xcc is a functional serine kinase, which has the ability to phosphorylate PtsH. Taken together, the data illustrates the previously unappreciated global regulatory role of HprK Xcc and previously uncharacterized PTS components that control virulence in this pathogen.
