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.

Rapid Modeling of the Sound Speed Field in the South China Sea Based on a Comprehensive Optimal LM-BP Artificial Neural Network - Jin Huang; Yu Luo; Jian Shi; Xin Ma; Qian-Qian Li; Yan-Yi Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Ocean sound speed is an essential foundation for marine scientific research and marine engineering applications. In this article, a model based on a comprehensive optimal back propagation artificial neural network model is developed. The Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is used to optimize the model, and the momentum term, normalization, and early termination method were used to predict the high precision marine sound speed profile. The sound speed profile was described by five indicators: date, time, latitude, longitude, and depth. The model used data from the CTD observation dataset of scientific investigation over the South China Sea (2009–2012) (108°–120° E, 6°–8° N), which includes comprehensive scientific investigation data from four voyages. The feasibility of modeling the sound speed field in the South China Sea is investigated. The proposed model uses the momentum term, normalization, and early termination in a traditional BP artificial neural network structure and mitigates issues with overtraining and difficulty when determining the BP neural network parameters. With the LM algorithm, a fast-modeling method for the sound field effectively achieves the precision requirement for sound speed prediction. Through the prediction and verification of the data from 2009 to 2012, the newly proposed optimized BP network model is shown to dramatically reduce the training time and improve precision compared to the traditional network model. Results showed that the root mean squared error decreased from 1.7903 m/s to 0.95732 m/s, and the training time decreased from 612.43 s to 4.231 s. Finally, the sound ray tracing simulations confirm that the model meets the accuracy requirements of acoustic sounding and verify the model’s feasibility for the real-time prediction of the vertical sound speed in saltwater bodies.

EmhR is an indole‐sensing transcriptional regulator responsible for the indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance in Pseudomonas fluorescens - Jian‐Ting Han; Di‐Yin Li; Meng‐Yuan Zhang; Xiao‐Quan Yu; Xiang‐Xue Jia; Hang Xu; Xu Yan; Wen‐Juan Jia; Shaomin Niu; Megan L. Kempher; Xuanyu Tao; Yong‐Xing He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Indole is well known as an interspecies signalling molecule to modulate bacterial physiology; however, it is not clear how the indole signal is perceived and responded to by plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the rhizosphere. Here, we demonstrated that indole enhanced the antibiotic tolerance of Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24, a PGPR well known for its biocontrol capacity. Proteomic analysis revealed that indole influenced the expression of multiple genes including the emhABC operon encoding a major multidrug efflux pump. The expression of emhABC was regulated by a TetR‐family transcription factor EmhR, which was demonstrated to be an indole‐responsive regulator. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that indole allosterically affected the distance between the two DNA‐recognizing helices within the EmhR dimer, leading to diminished EmhR–DNA interaction. It was further revealed the EmhR ortholog in Pseudomonas syringae was also responsible for indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance, suggesting this EmhR‐dependent, indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance is likely to be conserved among Pseudomonas species. Taken together, our results elucidated the molecular mechanism of indole‐induced antibiotic tolerance in Pseudomonas species and had important implications on how rhizobacteria sense and respond to indole in the rhizosphere.

Molecular Regulatory Mechanism and Toxicology of Neurodegenerative Processes in MPTP/Probenecid-Induced Progressive Parkinson’s Disease Mice Model Revealed by Transcriptome - Weiwei Yang; Wenwen Hao; Zhuo Meng; Shiyan Ding; Xiaodi Li; Tao Zhang; Weixiao Huang; Lian Xu; Yu Zhang; Jian Yang; Xiaosong Gu (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by a variety of unclear complex pathogenic factors. The 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine/probenecid (MPTP/p)-induced progressive PD mice is a well-recognized classic model for studying PD, but the molecular toxicology of this model is still unclear. Here, for the first time, we report gradual neurodegenerative processes in MPTP/p-induced progressive PD mice model using RNA-seq. Transcriptional responses are orchestrated to regulate the expression of many genes in substantia nigra, such as Ntf3 , Pitx3 , Th , and Drd2 , leading to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons at last. We proposed that the established model could be divided into three phases based on their molecular toxicological features: “the stress response phase” which maintained the microenvironment homeostasis, “the pre-neurodegenerative phase” which demonstrated observed MPTP/p cytotoxicity and gradual degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, and “the neurodegenerative phase” which reflected distinct damage and dopaminergic neuron apoptotic process. Glia cells exhibited a certain protective effect on dopaminergic neurons in 3rd and 6th MPTP/p-induced cytotoxicity. But in 10th MPTP/p injection, glia cells play a promoting role in PD and tissue damages caused by oxidative stress. This study also indicated that the substantia nigra of PD mice showed unique patterns of changes at each stage. Moreover, neurotrophic signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction, oxidative phosphorylation, apoptosis and necroptosis were enriched at 3rd and 6th MPTP/p injection, which might be associated with the PD progress. This study provided an extensive data set of molecular toxicology for elucidating of PD progression and offered comprehensive theoretical knowledge for the development of new therapy.

Development and current state of seawater shrimp farming, with an emphasis on integrated multi‐trophic pond aquaculture farms, in China – a review - Zhi‐Qiang Chang; Amir Neori; Yu‐Ying He; Ji‐Tao Li; Ling Qiao; Steven Ian Preston; Ping Liu; Jian Li (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
Shrimp farming has been the fastest‐growing sector in seawater aquaculture and has contributed to improving the farmers income and the utilization efficiency of aquaculture resources in China. The shrimp industry has deployed ever‐improved and innovated methods, from extensive farming to semi‐intensive and intensive farming. Various high‐density intensive culture models, such as high‐land, greenhouse and indoor industrialized culture models, have been used for shrimp pond farming in the coastal area. However, efficiency, environmental and social considerations have led to an increasing adoption of the environmentally‐friendly culture model called integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA). This has occurred most rapidly along the northern and central coasts of China. The deployed IMTA culture models reviewed here are shrimp + crab, shrimp + fish, shrimp + sea cucumber, shrimp + jellyfish + clam, shrimp + crab + clam, shrimp + crab + clam + fish and the ridgetail white shrimp polyculture in saline alkaline water, which have been tailored to local conditions and organisms' characteristics. Suitable organism varieties and the maintenance of suitable eco‐friendly water quality have been key to success. The eco‐friendly IMTA culture models described here fully exploit the pond culture resources, to increase production with minimal additional feed and labor inputs, while reducing effluent emissions and treatment cost. The performance of shrimp IMTA models is compared to shrimp monoculture models regarding the economics. An equally important outcome of this publication is making generally accessible the findings from a vast Chinese scientific literature on shrimp culture that has hitherto been unavailable in English.

A 61-year (1958–2018) global eddy-resolving dataset for phase 2 of the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project has been produced by the version 3 of Chinese Academy of Science, the State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics/Institute of Atmospheric Physics (LASG/IAP) Climate system Ocean Model (CAS-LICOM3). The monthly and a part of the surface daily data in this study can be accessed on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) node. Besides the details of the model and experiments, the evolutions and spatial patterns of large-scale and mesoscale features are also presented. The mesoscale features are reproduced well in the high-resolution simulation, as the mesoscale activities can contribute up to 50% of the total SST variability in eddy-rich regions. Also, the large-scale circulations are remarkably improved compared with the low-resolution simulation, such as the climatological annual mean SST (the RMSE is reduced from 0.59°C to 0.47°C, globally) and the evolution of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The preliminary evaluation also indicates that there are systematic biases in the salinity, the separation location of the western boundary currents, and the magnitude of eddy kinetic energy. All these biases are worthy of further investigation.

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.

Lithic raw material economy at the Huayang site in Northeast China: localization and diversification as adaptive strategies in the Late Glacial - Jian-Ping Yue; You-Qian Li; Yu-Xiu Zhang; Shi-Xia Yang (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2020)
The study of lithic raw material plays an important role in developing archeologists’ understanding of the different adaptive strategies and behaviors of prehistoric people. In this paper, we present new evidence from the Huayang site that reveals lithic raw material procurement and exploitation strategies dating to around 14 ka cal. BP. The Huayang site is located in the southern portion of the Lesser Khingan Mountains in Northeast China, a key region for examining migration, diffusion, and interaction among hunter-gatherers in East and Northeast Asia. Our results indicate that diversified lithic raw materials were found and procured from local riverbeds and reduced at the site. Each raw material was reduced with distinctive knapping strategies and, as a result, there is a strong discrete spatial pattern for each of the different raw material types. Intra- and inter-site comparative analyses suggest a uniform trend towards localization and diversification of lithic raw materials in the southern Lesser Khingan Mountains, Northeast China during the Late Glacial, which seems to be associated with the paleoclimatic amelioration and the demographic expansion during this period.

Water and heat availability are drivers of the aboveground plant carbon accumulation rate in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau - Jian Sun; Tian‐Cai Zhou; Miao Liu; You‐Chao Chen; Guo‐Hua Liu; Ming Xu; Pei‐Li Shi; Fei Peng; Atsushi Tsunekawa; Yu Liu; Xiao‐Dan Wang; Shi‐Kui Dong; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Climate change is expected to have important effects on plant phenology and carbon storage, with further shifts predicted in the future. Therefore, we proposed the community carbon accumulation rate (CAR) from the start of the growing season (SOS) to the peak of the growing season (POS) to fill the gap that the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon research. Location Tibetan Plateau. Major taxa Alpine grassland plants. Time period 2015. Methods We conducted a transect survey across grasslands to measure community aboveground net primary production and carbon concentration. Additionally, phenology indicator data (SOS and POS) were extracted from the Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) normalized difference vegetation index version 3 database. Next, we used ‘ changepoint ’ analysis to detect the patterns of CARs, and performed linear regression and one‐way ANOVA to explore the variability of CARs in response to the environmental factors. Ultimately, the total effects of environmental factors on CARs were illustrated by a structural equation model. Results Our results indicated that three CAR patterns were detected, which are low‐CAR (0.15 g/m 2 /day), medium‐CAR (0.31 g/m 2 /day) and high‐CAR (0.84 g/m 2 /day) patterns. We found that the availabilities of water and heat mediated CARs by regulating soil nutrition variability, and that drought climate and insufficient soil resources co‐constrained the community CAR at long time‐scales. In contrast, high CAR could be explained by more water and heat availability via either direct or indirect effects on soil moisture and soil nutrients. Main conclusions Our findings highlight that water and heat availability are critical driving factors in ecological carbon accumulation processes undergoing climate change. Meanwhile, the vegetative phenology also has important effect on carbon accumulation. Consequently, we propose incorporating the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon into the ecological carbon cycle model to improve our understanding of resource utilization and survival strategies of plants under environmental change.

(Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, 2019)
Background Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae Pv. oryzae ( Xoo ) is one of the most serious diseases of rice worldwide. Oryza officinalis Wall ex Watt, harboring abundant genetic diversity and disease resistance features, are important resources of exploring resistance genes with broad-spectrum resistance to BB. However, the molecular mechanisms and genes of BB resistance in O. officinalis have been rarely explored. Results Here, the BB resistance of four different origin O. officinalis populations in Yunnan were identified by seven representative hypervirulent Xoo races, which exhibited different BB resistance among four populations, in which the BB resistance of the Gengma_Lincang population was the strongest. In addition, the pathogenetic ability of seven Xoo races to O. officinalis was different in that the pathogenicity of PXO99 was stronger than that of C5. There were no remarkable differences in leaf microstructures among four O. officinalis populations, revealing the differences in resistance of four O. officinalis to BB are caused by the endogenous resistance genes. Furthermore, our results proved that there were no nine cloned BB resistance genes in four populations but possessed dominant Xa5 , dominant Xa13 , and recessive xa3/xa26 homologous alleles of xa5 , xa13 , and Xa3 / Xa26 resistance genes. These three homologous genes were isolated and cloned from four populations and named OoXa5 , OoXa13 , and Ooxa3 / xa26 . The expression profile revealed that the expression levels of OoXa13 and Ooxa3/xa26 were significantly down-regulated under PXO99 and C5 stress, especially in the Gengma_Lincang population, suggesting the O. officinalis might enhance BB resistance by down-regulating the expression level of OoXa13 and Ooxa3 / xa26 . Conclusion The BB resistance genes of O. officinalis had its own characteristics by expression pattern and BLAST analysis of OoXa5 , OoXa13 , and Ooxa3 / xa26 , which indicated that there might be new genes or molecular mechanism of BB resistance in O. officinalis. Our studies provided a solid foundation and reference for revealing the molecular mechanism of BB resistance in O. officinalis .

Summary The Skp1‐Cul1‐F‐box‐protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligases are important parts of the ubiquitin system controlling many cellular biological processes in eukaryotes. However, the roles of SCF ubiquitin ligases remain unclear in phytopathogenic Magnaporthe oryzae . Here, we cloned 24 F‐box proteins and confirmed that 17 proteins could interact with MoSkp1, showing their potential to participate in SCF complexes. To determine their functions, null mutants of 21 F‐box‐containing genes were created. Among them, the F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 were found to be required for growth, development and full virulence. Fluorescent‐microscopy observations demonstrated that both MoFbx15 and MoCdc4 were localized to the nucleus, compared with MoFwd1, which was distributed in the cytosol. MoCdc4 and MoFwd1 bound to MoSkp1 via the F‐box domain, the deletion of which abrogated their function. Race tube and qRT‐PCR assays confirmed that MoFwd1 was involved in circadian rhythm by regulating transcription and protein stability of the core circadian clock regulator MoFRQ . Moreover, MoFWD1 also orchestrates conidial germination by influencing conidial amino acids pools and oxidative stress release. Overall, our results indicate that SCF ubiquitin ligases play indispensable roles in development and pathogenicity in M. oryzae .

Vegetation type controls root turnover in global grasslands - Jinsong Wang; Jian Sun; Zhen Yu; Yong Li; Dashuan Tian; Bingxue Wang; Zhaolei Li; Shuli Niu (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2019)
Aim Root turnover is an important process determining carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. It is an established fact that root turnover is jointly regulated by climatic, edaphic and biotic factors. However, the relative importance of these forces in determining the global patterns of root turnover time is far from clear. Location Global. Time period 1946–2017. Major taxa studied Grasslands. Methods We compiled a database of 141 sites with 433 observations on root turnover time and applied structural equation modelling (SEM) to investigate the relative contribution of climate, soil properties and vegetation type to the observed variations in root turnover time. Results Root turnover time was 3.1 years on average across the global grasslands and differed significantly among grassland types (tropical grassland and savanna, temperate grassland and meadow, alpine grassland and meadow, tundra and desert). It decreased with mean annual temperature, mean annual precipitation and Palmer drought severity index but increased with soil organic carbon content, total nitrogen content and carbon : nitrogen ratio. Soil bulk density and soil texture also significantly affected root turnover time, with clay content negatively correlating to root turnover time and explaining more variations than bulk density and sand content. The SEM showed that climatic factors had dominant effects on root turnover time when vegetation type was not considered. Vegetation type became the primary driver when it was included in the SEM. Main conclusions Our results indicate that the influences of climatic and edaphic factors on root turnover time are predominantly manifested through vegetation type. The critical role of precipitation as revealed for the first time in this study challenges our current understanding of climate impacts on root turnover time. The findings necessitate accurate representation of vegetation type in Earth system models to predict root function dynamics under global change.

Warm season nocturnal rainfall over the eastern periphery of the Tibetan Plateau and its relationship with rainfall events in adjacent regions - Haoming Chen; Jian Li; Rucong Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Hourly observational records are used to investigate the distinct nocturnal rainfall and related convection activities over the eastern periphery of the Tibetan Plateau (EPTP). The results show that rainfall events over the EPTP are characterized by frequent moderate rainfall with long durations, which differs from both the eastern Tibetan Plateau (TP_E) and the west Sichuan Basin (SCB_W). Although the nocturnal rainfall dominates the warm season rainfall over the EPTP and its adjacent slopes, the midnight rainfall peak is more evident over the slope and basin regions, whereas over the TP_E, the rainfall intensity tends to peak in the late afternoon. An eastwards phase delay is found from the TP_E to the downstream EPTP regions, and the signal is more evident in the intense long‐duration rainfall events. To demonstrate the regional characteristics of the rainfall processes over the EPTP and its adjacent areas, a regional rainfall event (RRE) method is applied to consider the spatiotemporal evolution of the rainfall processes. The intense long‐duration RREs over the EPTP are selected and classified into two categories, with one related to the early stage rainfall systems in the TP region (RRE_with_TP) and the other not related to the TP rainfall systems (RRE_without_TP). The RRE_with_TP cases are probably related to the propagation of rainfall systems from the plateau. By analysing the convective activity derived from the FY‐2 geostationary satellites, evidence of the close relationship between the RRE_with_TP cases and the eastwards propagation of the convective systems that develop over the TP in the late afternoon is shown, whereas the RRE_without_TP cases seem to be more locally initialized or caused by rainfall systems from eastern regions. These results provide more detailed metrics to evaluate model performances over the EPTP region where excessive rainfall has been a long‐standing problem in the simulation of the East Asian climate.

Regimes of rainfall preceding regional rainfall events over the plain of Beijing City - Weihua Yuan; Hang Xu; Rucong Yu; Jian Li; Yingxin Zhang; Na He (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Four regimes of rainfall that preceded strong regional rainfall events (RREs) over the plain area of Beijing City (BJP) were studied using hourly station‐based rainfall observations during the warm season (May–October) of the past 8 years. The RREs were outlined by the maximum rainfall at all stations over the BJP each hour. The strong RREs were classified into four groups based on the rainfall that occurred in the 3 hr before the start of the events, which originated from areas northwest, southeast, northeast and southwest of the BJP. The four groups of RREs exhibited different characteristics. The number of RREs from the northwestern mountains was the highest, that is, approximately twice (four times) that from the northeastern mountains and the southwestern plain (southeastern coastal areas). The amounts, intensities and durations of the RREs from the southwestern plain were two to fourfold higher than those from the three other directions. The mean rainfall centres of the RREs from the northeast and southeast were located outside the BJP. Correspondingly, the spatial coverages and homogeneities of the RREs in the BJP from the northeast and southeast were poorer than those from the two other directions. All four groups of RREs ended to the southeast of the BJP and occurred mainly from the late afternoon to the early morning. Detailed rainfall classification based on the origination and feature analyses of all rainfall processes will enrich our knowledge of the rainfall evolutions of the BJP. In addition, combined with a study of the circulation of the rainfall processes, comprehensive understanding of fine‐scale rainfall features will provide further information for rainfall forecasting. In the future, our analyses will be applied to the corresponding atmospheric circulations of those RREs with different origins to identify the key factors that lead to different rainfall distributions.

The key gluconeogenic gene PCK1 is crucial for virulence of Botrytis cinerea via initiating its conidial germination and host penetration - Jian‐Kang Liu; Hao‐Wu Chang; Yue Liu; Yu (Haity) Qin; Yu‐Han Ding; Lan Wang; Yue Zhao; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Sheng‐Nan Cao; Le‐Tao Li; Wei Liu; Gui‐Hua Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The process of initiation of host invasion and survival of some foliar phytopathogenic fungi in the absence of external nutrients on host leaf surfaces remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that gluconeogenesis plays an important role in the process and nutrient‐starvation adaptation before the pathogen host invasion. Deletion of phosphoenolpyruvate c arboxy k inase gene BcPCK1 in gluconeogenesis in Botrytis cinerea , the causative agent of grey mould, resulted in the failure of the Δ Bcpck1 mutant conidia to germinate on hard and hydrophobic surface and penetrate host cells in the absence of glucose, reduction in conidiation and slow conidium germination in a nutrient‐rich medium. The wild‐type and Δ Bcpck1 conidia germinate similarly in the presence of glucose (higher concentration) as the sole carbon source. Conidial glucose‐content should reach a threshold level to initiate germination and host penetration. Infection structure formation by the mutants displayed a glucose‐dependent fashion, which corresponded to the mutant virulence reduction. Exogenous glucose or complementation of BcPCK1 completely rescued all the developmental and virulence defects of the mutants. Our findings demonstrate that BcPCK1 plays a crucial role in B. cinerea pathogenic growth and virulence, and provide new insights into gluconeogenesis mediating pathogenesis of plant fungal pathogens via initiation of conidial germination and host penetration.
