Diversification of mitogenomes in three sympatric Altica flea beetles (Insecta, Chrysomelidae) - Rui‐E Nie; Jing Wei; Shou‐Ke Zhang; Alfried P. Vogler; Ling Wu; Alexander S. Konstantinov; Wen‐Zhu Li; Xing‐Ke Yang; Huai‐Jun Xue (Zoologica Scripta, 2019)
The Asian flea beetles Altica cirsicola , Altica fragariae and Altica viridicyanea are broadly sympatric and morphologically highly similar but feed on distantly related host plants. They have been suggested as a model for ecological speciation studies. However, their phylogeny and species limits remain uncertain. In this study, we added mitochondrial genomes from multiple individuals of each species to the growing database. Phylogenetic analyses based on 15 genes showed clear interspecific divergences of A. fragariae from the other species, but A. cirsicola and A. viridicyanea were not distinguishable by distance‐based or tree‐based methods of species delimitation due to non‐monophyly of mitogenomes relative to the morphologically defined entities, possibly affected by interspecific introgression. This was confirmed by wider sampling of mitochondrial COX1 (58 individuals) and the second internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal RNA cluster (ITS2; 68 individuals), which showed that ITS2, but not COX1, coincided with the morphological species limits. The full mitochondrial genomes are not able to shed further light on the species status, even with the most sensitive approach based on diagnostic characters, yet the whole mitogenome is useful to get improved estimates of intra‐ and interspecific variation, not affected by the stochastic error seen in individual genes.

Gut microbiota in patients after surgical treatment for colorectal cancer - Ye Jin; Yang Liu; Lei Zhao; Fuya Zhao; Jing Feng; Shengda Li; Huinan Chen; Jiayu Sun; Biqiang Zhu; Rui Geng; Yunwei Wei (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common disease worldwide that is strongly associated with the gut microbiota. However, little is known regarding the gut microbiota after surgical treatment. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to evaluate differences in gut microbiota among colorectal adenoma patients, CRC patients, CRC postoperative patients and healthy controls by comparing gut microbiota diversity, overall composition and taxonomic signature abundance. The gut microbiota of CRC patients, adenoma patients and healthy controls developed in accordance with the adenoma‐carcinoma sequence, with impressive shifts in the gut microbiota before or during the development of CRC. The gut microbiota of postoperative patients and CRC patients differed significantly. Subdividing CRC postoperative patients according to the presence or absence of newly developed adenoma which based on the colonoscopy findings revealed that the gut microbiota of newly developed adenoma patients differed significantly from that of clean intestine patients and was more similar to the gut microbiota of carcinoma patients than to the gut microbiota of healthy controls. The alterations of the gut microbiota between the two groups of postoperative patients corresponded to CRC prognosis. More importantly, we used the different gut microbiota as biomarkers to distinguish postoperative patients with or without newly developed adenoma, achieving an AUC value of 0.72. These insights on the changes in the gut microbiota of CRC patients after surgical treatment may allow the use of the microbiota as non‐invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of newly developed adenomas and to help prevent cancer recurrence in postoperative patients.

This study was conducted to assess the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n ‐3, EPA) on lipid accumulation in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella adipose tissue both in vitro and in vivo. EPA was observed to inhibit the adipocyte viability in a time and dose‐dependent manner. EPA was also found to induce reactive oxygen species accumulation in vitro. The mRNA levels of caspase 3a and caspase 3b, as well as the activity of Caspase 3 increased significantly in vitro and in vivo, whereas the value of B cell leukemia 2–Bcl‐2 associated X protein decreased significantly. Besides, the pro‐apoptotic effect was relieved by α‐tocopherol. Dietary 0.52% EPA had no apparent effect on intraperitoneal fat index. Moreover, EPA promoted the hydrolytic gene expressions in vitro and in vivo, including adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone sensitive lipase‐a. Meanwhile, the lipogenic gene expressions of liver X receptor α, sterol regulatory element binding protein‐1c and fatty‐acid synthase were down‐regulated by EPA in vitro and in vivo. However, EPA also acted to promote the marker gene expressions of adipogenesis, including peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ and lipoprotein lipase in vitro and in vivo. Contents of EPA increased significantly in the treatment groups in vitro and in vivo. These results support that EPA affects multiple aspects of lipid metabolism, including hydrolysis, lipogenesis, adipogenesis and apoptosis. However, it barely functioned in decreasing the lipid accumulation of Ctenopharyngodon idella under the current culture conditions.

Changing temperature extremes based on CMIP5 output via semi‐parametric quantile regression approach - Chi Yang; Lingshan Li; Jing Xu (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
The Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) proposed a set of 27 core indices, describing extreme weather and climate events based on daily temperature and precipitation data. There are six percentile‐based temperature extreme indices: four exceedance rates (ERs) (TN10p, TN90p, TX10p and TX90p) and two durations (cold spell duration [CSDI] and warm spell duration [WSDI]), derived by using percentiles for calendar days during the base period 1961–1990 as thresholds. The widely used empirical quantile (percentile) estimator or its bootstrap resampling adjustment may result in inhomogeneity in the derived annual ER series or in their linear trends, as well as seasonally varying biases in the monthly ER series. We present a new data set of the six indices for the historical and three representative concentration pathways (RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) scenarios simulated by 19 global climate models participating the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5, generated via the semi‐parametric quantile regression approach. Percentiles estimated upon the independence condition, inhomogeneity and seasonal biases are removed from the new data set, so that the changes in temperature extremes can be authentically revealed from the climatological distribution point of view. Compared with its counterpart produced by the CLIMDEX project, the new data set shows similar spatial and temporal change patterns under the RCP scenarios, but with much smaller magnitudes. By the end of 21st century, TN90p increases to 17.3, 24.5 and 40.0%, and TX90p increases to 16.9, 22.1 and 35.3%, under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. WSDI increases to 35 days under RCP8.5. For the three increasing indices, the most significant changes occur in tropical and extratropical regions. The greatest increases in TN90p and TX90p occur in southeast Asia and Amazon Basin, up to 85 and 68% in the summer under RCP8.5; that in WSDI occurs in Amazon Basin up to 120 days under RCP8.5.

Quantitative Analysis of 3D Reconstruction Parameters of Multi-Materialsin Soft Clay - Zhiqing Liu; Jing Song; Yushuang Yang; Xue Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018)
The results of the three-dimensional reconstruction of soil were derived from the X-ray absorption coefficient of the material itself. However, the absorption coefficient is not a fixed value, and is related to densities, chemical molecular weight, and the weight percentages of chemical components. How to accurately obtain the density of one component is a vital issue in multi-materials. In this study, the influence of the physical parameters of each component in the data-constrained modeling (DCM) of the microstructure of soft clay was investigated. The results showed that density changes were more prominent. A reasonable multi-component density was calculated, and the density of organic matter had a significant effect on the volume percentage of three-dimensional soft clay. In the clay mineral montmorillonite, the density significantly affected the volume percentage data, which directly limited the accuracy of the material distribution analysis. Based on this, other physical parameters of each component in the data constraint model could be further explored. Based on the density value of the simple material, a reasonable multi-materials density was calculated, which provides a quantitative method for the evolution analysis of soil structure.

Macro and Micro Properties of Organic Matter in Hydraulic Mud Consolidation - Jing Song; Yu-Shuang Yang; Zhi-Qing Liu; Xue Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018)
Due to the co-existence of multiple organics and multiple length scales of the structure, quantitative characterization of the microstructure of organic matter in hydraulic mud consolidations, and understanding the impact on its mechanical properties have been challenging topics. This article attempts to tackle the challenge using lab experiments and a data-constrained modelling (DCM) approach combined with multi-energy synchrotron-based X-ray micro-CT (computed tomography). In this paper, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and other different technical means were combined to study the microstructure of hydraulic mud composition and distribution. One unmodified hydraulic mud and four remolded samples were analyzed in vacuum preloading tests corresponding to organic matter contents of 1.65%, 3.75%, 5.15%, 8.65%, and 11.15%, respectively. Organic matter plays a significant role in hindering the shear strength of consolidation. Macro- and microstructure under different pressures could be extracted by the DCM and X-ray CT. The DCM-reconstructed microstructure of fine-grained soil from hydraulic mud is presented by four groups: organic matter, two groups of minerals, and pores. Different groups are displayed with different colors, which could clarify the distributions and density degrees of each component (group). The macro- and microstructures and the distribution of organic matter were quantified and compared among groups. It was demonstrated that the mechanical properties of the organic matter were closely correlated to the meso- and nano-scale clusters of porosity and minerals. The variation of organic clusters with loading pressure, and the number of sub-macro organic clusters, were small. Three scales of organic cluster (40–400 μm, 4–40 μm, and 0.4–4 μm) changed visibly in consolidation at 200 kPa and 800 kPa. The analysis has shown that pressures of 100 kPa and 400 kPa could be used as two characteristic values of structure change of hydraulic mud, which perhaps matched the turning points of destruction. The DCM approach, combined with multi-energy synchrotron-based X-ray micro-CT presented here, are applicable in studying the relationship between the microstructure and macro-properties for various other engineering materials.

Summary Glycoside hydrolase 12 (GH12) proteins act as virulence factors and pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in oomycetes. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of fungal GH12 proteins have not been characterized. In this study, we demonstrated that two of the six GH12 proteins produced by the fungus Verticillium dahliae Vd991, VdEG1 and VdEG3 acted as PAMPs to trigger cell death and PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) independent of their enzymatic activity in Nicotiana benthamiana . A 63‐amino‐acid peptide of VdEG3 was sufficient for cell death‐inducing activity, but this was not the case for the corresponding peptide of VdEG1. Further study indicated that VdEG1 and VdEG3 trigger PTI in different ways: BAK1 is required for VdEG1‐ and VdEG3‐triggered immunity, while SOBIR1 is specifically required for VdEG1‐triggered immunity in N. benthamiana . Unlike oomycetes, which employ RXLR effectors to suppress host immunity, a carbohydrate‐binding module family 1 (CBM1) protein domain suppressed GH12 protein‐induced cell death. Furthermore, during infection of N. benthamiana and cotton, VdEG1 and VdEG3 acted as PAMPs and virulence factors, respectively indicative of host‐dependent molecular functions. These results suggest that VdEG1 and VdEG3 associate differently with BAK1 and SOBIR1 receptor‐like kinases to trigger immunity in N. benthamiana , and together with CBM1‐containing proteins manipulate plant immunity.
