Ambient climate determines the directional trend of community stability under warming and grazing - Peipei Liu; Wangwang Lv; Jianping Sun; Caiyun Luo; Zhenhua Zhang; Xiaoxue Zhu; Xingwu Lin; Jichuang Duan; Guangping Xu; Xiaofeng Chang; Yigang Hu; Qiaoyan Lin; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Changes in ecological processes over time in ambient treatments are often larger than the responses to manipulative treatments in climate change experiments. However, the impacts of human‐driven environmental changes on the stability of natural grasslands have been typically assessed by comparing differences between manipulative plots and reference plots. Little is known about whether or how ambient climate regulates the effects of manipulative treatments and their underlying mechanisms. We collected two datasets, one a 36‐year long‐term observational dataset from 1983 to 2018, and the other a 10‐year manipulative asymmetric warming and grazing experiment using infrared heaters with moderate grazing from 2006 to 2015 in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau. The 36‐year observational dataset shows that there was a nonlinear response of community stability to ambient temperature with a positive relationship between them due to an increase in ambient temperature in the first 25 years and then a decrease in ambient temperature thereafter. Warming and grazing decreased community stability with experiment duration through an increase in legume cover and a decrease in species asynchrony, which was due to the decreasing background temperature through time during the 10‐year experiment period. Moreover, the temperature sensitivity of community stability was higher under the ambient treatment than under the manipulative treatments. Therefore, our results suggested that ambient climate may control the directional trend of community stability while manipulative treatments may determine the temperature sensitivity of the response of community stability to climate relative to the ambient treatment. Our study emphasizes the importance of the context dependency of the response of community stability to human‐driven environmental changes.

A new atypical short‐chain dehydrogenase is required for interfungal combat and conidiation in Trichoderma guizhouense - Hong Zhu; Jian Zhang; Qi Gao; Guan Pang; Tingting Sun; Rong Li; Zhenzhong Yu; Qirong Shen (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Hypocrealean Trichoderma are the most extensively studied facultative mycoparasites against phytopathogenic fungi. Aerial hyphae of Trichoderma guizhouense can rapidly proliferate over Fusarium oxysporum hyphae, cause sporadic cell death and arrest the growth of the host. The results of the present study demonstrated that a unique short‐chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR), designated as TgSDR1, was expressed at a high level in T . guizhouense challenged by the hosts. Similar to other SDRs family members, the TgSDR1 protein contains a cofactor‐binding motif and a catalytic site. The subcellular localization assay revealed that the TgSDR1::GFP fusion protein translocated to lipid droplets in mycelia and conidia. The data obtained using reverse genetic approach indicated that TgSDR1 is associated with antifungal ability, plays an important role in providing reducing equivalents in the form of NADPH and regulates the amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism in T . guizhouense upon encountering a host. Moreover, the TgSDR1 deletion mutant was defective in conidiation. Thus, TgSDR1 functions as a key metabolic enzyme in T . guizhouense to regulate mycotrophic interactions, defence against other fungi, such as F . oxysporum , and conidiation.

Gut Microbial Metabolites in Parkinson’s Disease: Implications of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in the Pathogenesis and Treatment - Yixuan Liang; Li Cui; Jiguo Gao; Mingqin Zhu; Ying Zhang; Hong-Liang Zhang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
The search for therapeutic targets for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is hindered by the incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction is an area with high potential. The neurobiological signaling connections between the gut microbiome and the central nervous system are incompletely understood. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the gut microbiota participates in the pathogenesis of PD. Gut microbial dysbiosis may contribute to the loss of dopaminergic neurons through mitochondrial dysfunction. The intervention of gut microbial metabolites via the microbiota-gut-brain axis may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for PD. In this narrative review, we summarize the potential roles of gut microbial dysbiosis in PD, with emphasis on microbial metabolites and mitochondrial function. We then review the possible ways in which microbial metabolites affect the central nervous system, as well as the impact of microbial metabolites on mitochondrial dysfunction. We finally discuss the possibility of gut microbiota as a therapeutic target for PD.

Design and Application of an In Situ Test Device for Rheological Characteristic Measurements of Liquefied Submarine Sediments - Hong Zhang; Xiaolei Liu; Anduo Chen; Weijia Li; Yang Lu; Xingsen Guo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Liquefied submarine sediments can easily lead to submarine landslides and turbidity currents, and cause serious damage to offshore engineering facilities. Understanding the rheological characteristics of liquefied sediments is critical for improving our knowledge of the prevention of submarine geo-hazards and the evolution of submarine topography. In this study, an in situ test device was developed to measure the rheological properties of liquefied sediments. The test principle is the shear column theory. The device was tested in the subaqueous Yellow River delta, and the test results indicated that liquefied sediments can be regarded as “non-Newtonian fluids with shear thinning characteristics”. Furthermore, a laboratory rheological test was conducted as a contrast experiment to qualitatively verify the accuracy of the in situ test data. Through the comparison of experiments, it was proved that the use of the in situ device in this paper is suitable and reliable for the measurement of the rheological characteristics of liquefied submarine sediments. Considering the fact that liquefaction may occur in deeper water (>5 m), a work pattern for the device in the offshore area is given. This novel device provides a new way to test the undrained shear strength of liquefied sediments in submarine engineering.

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.

Purpose Proper taste-masking formulation design is a critical issue for instant-dissolving tablets (IDTs). The purpose of this study is to use the electronic tongue to design the additives of the 3D printed IDTs to improve palatability. Methods A binder jet 3D printer was used to prepare IDTs of levetiracetam. A texture analyzer and dissolution apparatus were used to predict the oral dispersion time and in vitro drug release of IDTs, respectively. The palatability of different formulations was investigated using the ASTREE electronic tongue in combination with the design of experiment and a model for masking bitter taste. Human gustatory sensation tests were conducted to further evaluate the credibility of the results. Results The 3D printed tablets exhibited rapid dispersion (<30 s) and drug release (2.5 min > 90%). The electronic tongue had an excellent ability of taste discrimination, and levetiracetam had a good linear sensing performance based on a partial least square regression analysis. The principal component analysis was used to analyze the signal intensities of different formulations and showed that 2% sucralose and 0.5% spearmint flavoring masked the bitterness well and resembled the taste of corresponding placebo. The results of human gustatory sensation test were consistent with the trend of the electronic tongue evaluation. Conclusions Owing to its objectivity and reproducibility, this technique is suitable for the design and evaluation of palatability in 3D printed IDT development.

Insights into the aridification history of Central Asian Mountains and international conservation strategy from the endangered wild apple tree - Hong‐Xiang Zhang; Xiao‐Shuang Li; Jian‐Cheng Wang; Dao‐Yuan Zhang (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Evolutionary processes of mountain plants in arid lands remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate population genomics of the endangered wild apple tree to interpret the effects of long‐term aridification on plant diversification and demographical history in Central Asian Mountains. Location The Tianshan Mountains, spanning north‐western China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Taxon Malus sieversii (Rosaceae) Methods Using genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphisms, we assessed genetic diversity and genetic structure of 15 populations across the species' range. Demographical history was simulated with approximate Bayesian computation and species distribution modelling. We used a general linear model to identify key environmental factors affecting population genetic diversity and structure. Results We separated the 15 populations into three groups: the eastern group of western Junggar Mountains in China; the central group of the Ili Valley, the Talas Alatau Mountains in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan; and the western group of Tajikistan and the Dzungarian Alatau in Kazakhstan. Central populations had higher genetic diversity and effective population size than eastern and western populations. The three groups split at the late Miocene and subsequently experienced extensive admixture. We detected a significant pattern of isolation by distance, but not isolation by environment, among these populations. Population genetic diversity was significantly associated with longitudinal and current environmental gradients. Main conclusions Long‐term aridification promoted distribution fragmentation and plant lineage divergence of relict broad‐leaved forests in Central Asian Mountains. Both geographical isolation and environmental heterogeneity shaped spatial patterns in genetic variation among M. sieversii populations. To maintain genetic integrity, we propose the establishment of an international network for the conservation of this endangered wild apple tree.

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

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 .

The Phylogeny and Functional Characterization of Peanut Acyl-ACP Thioesterases - Zhenying Peng; Hui Zhang; Haiying Tian; Lei Shan; Zhimeng Zhang; Hong Ding; Wenwei Gao; Xinguo Li (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2020)
Fatty acyl-acyl thioesterases (FATs), which hydrolyze the thioester bond linking acyl chains to an acyl carrier protein, thereby terminating their elongation, contribute significantly to the fatty acid (FA) content and composition of seed storage lipids. The peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) genome was found to harbor 21 FAT ( AhFAT ) genes, distributed over 12 of the 20 chromosomes. The length of their predicted translation products varied from 74 to 415 residues, and all but one included the 1–2 Acyl-ACP_TE conserved domains. All of the coding sequences were interrupted by at least one intron, with the exon number ranging from two to 12, and five of the genes were liable to alternative splicing. When the RNA-Seq platform was used to assess the transcriptional behavior of the 21 AhFAT genes, transcription of only 13 was detectable in samples of root, leaves, and developing seed; among these, six were transcribed throughout the plant, three were root-specific and one was leaf-specific. A detailed analysis of a pair of homologous AhFATs showed that the coding region of each was split into six exons and that both were transcribed in all of the plant organs surveyed (although the intensity of their transcription was not the same in immature seed). The product of both genes was deposited in the chloroplast outer membrane. The constitutive expression of these genes in either yeast or Arabidopsis thaliana increased the FA content, especially that of saturated FAs. In peanut genome, 21 AhFAT genes were found and two of them were transformed into yeast and Arabidopsis for function identification. Results showed that overexpression of these two genes could increase the FA content, especially the saturated FAs content.

Analysis of endophytic and rhizosphere bacterial diversity and function in the endangered plant Paeonia ludlowii - Yazhou Lu; Erhao Zhang; Mingsheng Hong; Xiu Yin; Hao Cai; Lei Yuan; Fang Yuan; Lianqiang Li; Kentian Zhao; Xiaozhong Lan (Archives of Microbiology, 2020)
Paeonia ludlowii is indigenous to Tibet and has an important ecological and economic value in China. In Tibet, P. ludlowii has been used in folk medicine with relative success. Plant microbial endophytes play an important role in plant growth, health and ecological function. The diversity of endophytic bacteria associated with P. ludlowii remains poorly understood. In this study, the structure of the endophytic bacterial communities associated with different tissues, including fruits, flowers, leaves, stems, and roots, and rhizosphere soils was analyzed with Illumina MiSeq sequencing of bacterial 16S rDNA. A total of 426,240 sequences and 4847 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained. The OTUs abundance of roots was higher than that of other tissues; however, the OTUs abundance was similar among different deep soil samples. In the plant tissues, Cyanobacteria was the most abundant bacterial phylum, followed by Proteobacteria; however, the most abundant phyla were Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria in soil samples from three different layers. In addition, the diversity and richness of the microorganisms in the soil were very similar to those in roots but higher than those in other tissues of P. ludlowii .

Overexpression of Purinergic P2X4 Receptors in Hippocampus Rescues Memory Impairment in Rats with Type 2 Diabetes - Ping-An Zhang; Qian Sun; Yong-Chang Li; Rui-Xia Weng; Rui Wu; Hong-Hong Zhang; Guang-Yin Xu (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2020)
Purinergic receptors have been reported to be involved in brain disorders. In this study, we explored their roles and mechanisms underlying the memory impairment in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM rats exhibited a worse performance in the T-maze and Morris water maze (MWM) than controls. Microglia positive for P2X purinoceptor 4 (P2X4R) in the hippocampus were reduced and activated microglia were increased in T2DM rats. Long Amplicon PCR (LA-PCR) showed that DNA amplification of the p2x4r gene in the hippocampus was lower in T2DM rats. Minocycline significantly reduced the number of activated microglia and the mean distance traveled by T2DM rats in the MWM. Most importantly, P2X4R overexpression suppressed the activated microglia and rescued the memory impairment of T2DM rats. Overall, T2DM led to excessive activation of microglia in the hippocampus, partly through the DNA damage-mediated downregulation of P2X4Rs, thus contributing to memory impairment.

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) to explore the molecular adaptations to fresh water - Qi‐Lin Zhang; Hong‐Wei Li; Zhi‐Xiang Dong; Xiao‐Jie Yang; Lian‐Bing Lin; Jun‐Yuan Chen; Ming‐Long Yuan (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
Aquatic insects are well adapted to freshwater environments, but the molecular basis of these adaptations remains largely unknown. Most firefly species (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are terrestrial, but the larvae of several species are aquatic. Here, larval and adult transcriptomes from Aquatica leii (freshwater) and Lychnuris praetexta (terrestrial) were generated to test whether the genes associated with metabolic efficiency and morphology have undergone adaptive evolution to fresh water. The aquatic fireflies had a significantly lower ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions than the terrestrial insects, indicating a genomewide evolutionary constraint in the aquatic fireflies. We identified 341 fast‐evolving genes and 116 positively selected genes in the aquatic fireflies. Of these, 76 genes exhibiting both fast evolution and positive selection were primarily involved in ATP production, energy metabolism and the hypoxia response. We identified 7,271 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in A . leii (adults versus larvae) and 8,309 DEGs in L . praetexta (adults versus larvae). DEGs specific to the aquatic firefly ( n = 1,445) were screened via interspecific comparisons ( A . leii versus L . praetexta ) and were significantly enriched for genes involved in metabolic efficiency (e.g., ATP production, hypoxia, and immune responses) and certain aspects of morphology (e.g., cuticle chitin, tracheal and compound eye morphology). These results indicate that sequence and expression‐level changes in genes associated with both metabolic efficiency and morphological attributes related to the freshwater lifestyle contributed to freshwater adaptation in fireflies. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of aquatic adaptation in insects.

The Family of Peanut Fatty Acid Desaturase Genes and a Functional Analysis of Four ω-3 AhFAD3 Members - Zhenying Peng; Jian Ruan; Haiying Tian; Lei Shan; Jingjing Meng; Feng Guo; Zhimeng Zhang; Hong Ding; Shubo Wan; Xinguo Li (Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, 2020)
The synthesis of α-linolenic acid (ALA) requires the activity of ω-3 fatty acid desaturases (ω-3 FADs). The quality of peanut oil would be much improved if the content of ALA could be increased. A scan of the peanut genome revealed that it harbored 36 FAD genes, mapping to 16 of the species’ 20 chromosomes. A phylogenetic analysis concluded that these genes belonged to six sub-families, namely stearoyl-acyl-acyl carrier protein desaturases ( SAD ), FAD2 , FAD3 , FAD4/5 , FAD6 and FAD7/8 . Of these, FAD3 and FAD7/8 encoded ω-3 FADs, while genes belonging to the other four sub-families encoded ω-6 FADs. Based on RNA-Seq data, each of the 36 FAD genes was shown to be transcribed in non-stressed plants, but there was variation between them with respect to which organs they were transcribed in. Four ω-3 AhFAD3 genes were functionally characterized; when expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana protoplasts, each was localized mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum, while within peanut, the genes were more strongly transcribed in the developing seed than in either the root or the leaf. When constitutively expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana , both the total fatty acid content of the seed and the relative contribution of ALA were increased. The transgenic seedlings also exhibited an improved level of survival when challenged by salinity stress.

Functional connectivity dysfunction of insular subdivisions in cognitive impairment after acute mild traumatic brain injury - Liyan Lu; Fengfang Li; Huiyou Chen; Peng Wang; Hong Zhang; Yu-Chen Chen; Xindao Yin (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2020)
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the early functional connectivity alterations between insula subdivisions and other cortical regions in patients with acute mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and subsequently to explore the relationship between functional connectivity changes of insula subdivisions with other cortical regions and cognitive function. Methods Fifty-three mTBI patients and 37 age-, gender- and education level- matched healthy controls were included in this study. All participants obtained resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and clinical and neuropsychological evaluations (Montreal cognitive assessment, MoCA) at the acute stage. Functional connectivity alterations of insula subdivisions and correlations with MoCA were further explored by seed-voxel functional connectivity. Results Compared with healthy controls, patients with acute mTBI showed significantly decreased functional connectivity between the L-vAI and the left middle temporal gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus and significantly decreased functional connectivity between the R-vAI and the right middle frontal gyrus and right hippocampus. While significantly decreased functional connectivity were observed between the L-dAI and the right superior frontal gyrus. In addition, significantly increased functional connectivity was observed between the R-PI and the left inferior frontal gyrus. Furthermore, the mTBI group demonstrated positive correlations between performances in orientation and insula and middle temporal gyrus and superior frontal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus functional connectivities. Abstraction scores for mTBI patients positively correlated with functional connectivity between insula and middle frontal gyrus. Conclusions The present study demonstrated functional connectivity dysfunction of insula subdivisions and correlations between these alterations and cognitive performance, which provide a novel insight into the neurophysiological mechanism of cognitive impairment in patients with mTBI at the acute stage.
