We surveyed the carbonate system along the main channel of the Chesapeake Bay in June 2016 to elucidate carbonate dynamics and the associated sources of oxygen‐consuming organic matter. Using a two endmember mixing calculation, chemical proxies, and stoichiometry, we demonstrated that in early summer, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) dynamics were controlled by aerobic respiration in the water column (43%), sulfate reduction in the sediment (39%), atmospheric CO 2 invasion (13%), and CaCO 3 dissolution (5%). A mass balance of the DIC concentration and its stable isotope suggested that the apparent δ 13 C of oxygen‐consuming organic matter was −19.4 ± 0.3‰. The bulk composition of particulate organic matter also reflected a dominance of algal material (C/N = ~ 6, δ 13 C > −25‰). Therefore, we concluded that the decomposition of autochthonous organic matter (i.e., eutrophication‐stimulated primary production) was the dominant process consuming oxygen, while allochthonous organic matter (terrestrially derived) made minor contributions to oxygen consumption in the hypoxic zone in June 2016. These findings in the Chesapeake Bay contrast with another hypoxic estuarine ecosystem, the Pearl River Estuary in China where allochthonous organic matter contributed significantly to oxygen consumption. The differences between these two systems in terms of hydrology, quantity and quality of organic matter, and physical characteristics are discussed to yield new insights on the formation and maintenance of hypoxia. In both systems, autochthonous organic matter dominates oxygen depletion, indicating that nutrient management and reduction are useful actions to control and mitigate the occurrence of hypoxia for the restoration of ecosystem.

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.

RIG-I aggravates interstitial fibrosis via c-Myc-mediated fibroblast activation in UUO mice - Zhuanli Zhou; Jiayun Ni; Jingyao Li; Chuanbing Huo; Naijun Miao; Fan Yin; Qian Cheng; Dan Xu; Hongyan Xie; Panpan Chen; Peiqing Zheng; Yingying Zhang; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2020)
Progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the common final outcome for all kidney diseases evolving into chronic kidney disease (CKD), whereas molecular mechanisms driving fibrogenesis remain elusive. Retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I), an intracellular pattern recognition receptor, is originally identified participating in immune response by recognizing virus RNA. Here, we revealed for the first time that RIG-I was induced in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and folic acid (FA) renal fibrosis models and moderate-degree renal fibrosis patients. Besides, we found RIG-I was mainly located in renal tubular epithelial cells and promoted the production and release of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 through activation of NF-κB. Inflammatory cytokines released by tubular epithelial cells activated c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad signaling in fibroblasts, which in turn aggravated interstitial fibrosis by promoting fibroblast activation and production of extracellular matrix components (ECM). Deficiency of RIG-I attenuated renal fibrosis by the regulation of inflammatory responses, c-Myc expression, and fibroblast activation. Besides, gene silencing of RIG-I reduced inflammatory cytokines in cultured tubular epithelial cells treated with Angiotensin II. Knockdown of c-Myc or c-Myc inhibitor blocked IL-1β-induced fibroblast activation. Collectively, our study demonstrates that RIG-I plays a significant role in the progress of renal fibrosis via regulating c-Myc-mediated fibroblast activation. Key messages • RIG-I was constantly elevated in kidneys from renal fibrotic mice. • RIG-I facilitated inflammatory cytokine production in tubular epithelial cells. • RIG-I aggravated renal fibrosis via c-Myc-mediated TGF-β/Smad activation.

Daily minimum temperature and precipitation control on spring phenology in arid‐mountain ecosystems in China - Jun Du; Kai Li; Zhibin He; Longfei Chen; Pengfei Lin; Xi Zhu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Climate anomaly has caused substantial shifts in phenology of mountain ecosystems, but the underlying mechanism of phenological responses to climate change is still not well understood. In essence, the abundance of vegetation communities increases the complexity of phenology‐climate relationships, leading to a certain limitation in predictions of future dynamics among different vegetation types using a unified model. In this study, we focused on the climatic constraints on spring phenology in arid mountains (AMs) of China, and emphasis was laid on accurate representation of mechanisms that control phenology across different vegetation types. We Firstly explored spatio‐temporal variations in satellite‐derived estimates of starting date of vegetation growing season (SOS) over the period 2000–2015 using moderate‐resolution imaging spectro‐radiometer (MODIS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Phenological models in response to climate variability were then established by using mixed‐effect models based on satellite observations and an extensive dataset of climatic measurements. Our results showed that the climatic regulation on SOS varied greatly over vegetation types. More climatic factors that regulate phenological development were found in grassland than forest and shrubland. At ecosystem level, two critical climate factors, daily minimum temperature ( T min ) and precipitation, explained 74–95% of total variability in predicted SOS. The observed sensitivity to T min is expected to be closely linked with the risk of frost damage, while preseason precipitation determines water availability in spring. The varying ecosystem sensitivity revealed the different resilience and adaptability to changing climate among vegetation types, which have been linked to their eco‐physiological characteristics (e.g., water use efficiency) and environmental conditions (e.g., elevation). Overall, our results indicate a strong dependence of spring phenology on T min and precipitation, and create an opportunity for a more realistic representation of vegetation phenology and growth of AM plants in China in land surface models.

Native bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix populations in the Pearl River are threatened by Yangtze River introductions as revealed by mitochondrial DNA - Chao Li; Junjie Wang; Jiaqi Chen; Kevin Schneider; Radhakrishnan K. Veettil; Kathryn R. Elmer; Jun Zhao (Journal of Fish Biology, 2020)
Bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix have been two economically important aquaculture species in China for centuries. In the past decades, bighead and silver carp have been introduced from the Yangtze River to many river systems in China, including the Pearl River, in annual, large‐scale, stocking activities to enhance wild fisheries. Nonetheless, few studies have assessed the ecological or genetic impacts of such introductions on native conspecific fish populations. An mtDNA D‐loop segment of 978 bp from 213 bighead carp samples from 9 populations and a 975 bp segment from 204 silver carp samples from 10 populations were obtained to evaluate genetic diversity and population integrity. Results from a haplotype network analysis revealed that most haplotypes of the Pearl River clustered with those of Yangtze River origin and only a small proportion were distinct, suggesting that both the native Pearl River bighead and silver carp populations are currently dominated by genetic material from the Yangtze River. The genetic diversity of Pearl River populations is high in both species because of this inter‐population gene flow, but the diversity of native Pearl River populations is low. To preserve the native genetic diversity, stocking of non‐native fingerlings should cease immediately and native Pearl River bighead and silver carp fish farms should be established. This research demonstrates the danger to native biodiversity across China because of the substantial, ongoing stock‐enhancement activities without prior genetic assessment.

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

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) - Zhi-lin Sun; Xiao Li; Wan Zhou; Jun-di Yan; Yue-rong Gao; Xiao-wei Li; Jia-chen Sun; Ke-feng Fang; Qing Zhang; Yu Xing; Ling Qin; Qing-qin Cao (Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2020)
Chinese chestnut ( Castanea mollissima ) is an important germplasm resource for the breeding of Castanea species worldwide with vital ecological and economic value. Biotechnology overcomes the limitations of traditional breeding and accelerates germplasm improvement. However, a genetic transformation system for Chinese chestnut has not yet been established. In this study, a stable and efficient Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation method for Chinese chestnut is described. Embryogenic calli of C. mollissima cv. ‘Yanshanhongli’ were used as the target material. The sensitivity of embryogenic calli to kanamycin was determined, whereby the proliferation of non-transformed calli was completely inhibited at 180 mg/L. Antibiotic inhibition results for Chinese chestnut embryogenic calli showed that 50 mg/L cefotaxime and 500 μM timentin completely inhibited the growth of Agrobacterium tumefaciens but did not affect the normal growth of Chinese chestnut embryogenic calli. When embryogenic calli were co-cultured for 2 days with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain AGL1 harboring the PBI121-EGFP plasmid, an embryogenic callus transformation efficiency of 4.55% was obtained, and two transgenic chimera were acquired. This Agrobacterium -mediated transformation system for Chinese chestnut provides a fundamental platform for genetic improvement of core germplasm and for further verification of gene function.

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.

Clinal variation in growth cessation and FTL2 expression in Siberian spruce - Lili Li; Jun Chen; Martin Lascoux (Tree Genetics & Genomes, 2019)
Forest trees exhibit strong patterns of local adaptation in phenological traits along latitudinal gradients. Previous studies in spruce have shown that variation at genes from the photoperiodic pathway and the circadian clock are associated to these clines but it has been difficult to find solid evidence of selection for some of these genes. Here, we used growth cessation, gene expression, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data at two major candidate loci, FLOWERING LOCUS T/TERMINAL FLOWER1-Like2 ( FTL2 ) and GIGANTEA ( GI ), as well as at background loci from a latitudinal gradient in Siberian spruce ( Picea obovata ) populations along the Ob River to test for clinal variation in growth cessation and at the two candidate genes. As in previous studies, there was a strong latitudinal cline in growth cessation that was accompanied by a significant cline in the expression of FTL2 . Expression of FTL2 was significantly associated with allele frequencies at some of the GI ’s SNPs. However, the cline in allele frequency at candidate genes was not as steep as in a Norway spruce cline and in a parallel Siberian spruce cline studied previously and nonsignificant when a correction for population structure was applied. A McDonald-Kreitman test did not detect decisive evidence of selection on GI ( p value = 0.07) and could not be applied to FTL2 because of limited polymorphism. Nonetheless, polymorphisms contributed more to the increased neutrality index of Po GI than to that of control loci. Finally, comparing the results of two previously published studies to our new dataset led to the identification of strong candidate SNPs for local adaptation in FTL2 promoter and GI .

(International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Differences, arising from differences in gross primary production (GPP) model structures and driving forces, have fuelled arguments concerning interannual changes of GPP in China since 2000. To better investigate the interannual variability of GPP and its covariance with climate factors in China, this study adopted a multi‐model analysis based on three GPP models (i.e., Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon flux model [TEC], Breathing Earth System Simulator model [BESS], and MOD17 GPP model). The results show that annual GPP in China increased by 0.021–0.057 Pg C year −1 from 2000 to 2015 attributable to atmospheric‐CO 2 fertilization effects and favourable climate change, that is, increasing precipitation ( P r ) and temperature ( T a ). However, northern China and southern China had a large difference in the amplitude of these GPP changes; annual GPP increased by 0.017–0.039 Pg C year −1 in northern China but only 0.001–0.018 Pg C year −1 in southern China. Northern China and southern China occupy contrasting climate zones and this contrast produced different interannual variability of GPP through different mechanisms. Northern China has a dry climate with GPP changes sensitive to P r . As a result, more P r along with higher T a in northern China produced the strong uptrend of GPP from 2000 to 2015. In contrast, southern China has a wet climate with its GPP sensitive to solar radiation and T a . For the interval of 2000–2015, decreasing radiation plus drought exerted a negative influence on GPP in southern China. This study highlights the diverse mechanisms in which climate change affects GPP in dry and wet climate zones. A robust multi‐model analysis is preferred to reduce uncertainties arising from a single GPP model and its driving data.

Summary Verticillium dahliae is a soil‐borne fungus that causes vascular wilt on numerous plants worldwide. The fungus survives in the soil for up to 14 years by producing melanized microsclerotia. The protective function of melanin in abiotic stresses is well documented. Here, we found that the V . dahliae tetraspan transmembrane protein VdSho1, a homolog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sho1, acts as an osmosensor, and is required for plant penetration and melanin biosynthesis. The deletion mutant Δ Sho1 was incubated on a cellophane membrane substrate that mimics the plant epidermis, revealing that the penetration of Δ Sho1 strain was reduced compared to the wild‐type strain. Furthermore, VdSho1 regulates melanin biosynthesis by a signalling mechanism requiring a kinase‐kinase signalling module of Vst50‐Vst11‐Vst7. Strains, Δ Vst50 , Δ Vst7 and Δ Vst11 also displayed defective penetration and melanin production like the Δ Sho1 strain. Defects in penetration and melanin production in Δ Sho1 were restored by overexpression of Vst50 , suggesting that Vst50 lies downstream of VdSho1 in the regulatory pathway governing penetration and melanin biosynthesis. Data analyses revealed that the transmembrane portion of VdSho1 was essential for both membrane penetration and melanin production. This study demonstrates that Vst50‐Vst11‐Vst7 module regulates VdSho1‐mediated plant penetration and melanin production in V . dahliae , contributing to virulence.

Summary The low temperature and elevated hydrostatic pressure in hadal trenches at water depths below 6000 m render sample collection difficult. Here, in situ hadal water microbial samples were collected from the Mariana Trench and analysed. The hadal microbial communities at different depths were revealed to be consistent and were dominated by heterotrophic Marinimicrobia. Thirty high‐quality metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs) were retrieved to represent the major hadal microbes affiliated with 12 prokaryotic phyla. Most of the MAGs were newly reported and probably derived from novel hadal inhabitants as exemplified by a potentially new candidate archaeal phylum in the DPANN superphylum. Metabolic reconstruction indicated that a great number of the MAGs participated in nitrogen and sulfur cycling, in which the nitrification process was driven sequentially by Thaumarchaeota and Nitrospirae and sulfur oxidization by Rhodospirillales in the Alphaproteobacteria class. Moreover, several groups of hadal microbes were revealed to be potential carbon monoxide oxidizers. Metatranscriptomic result highlighted the contribution of Chloroflexi in degrading recalcitrant dissolved organic matter and Marinimicrobia in extracellular protein decomposition. The present work provides an in‐depth view on the hadal microbial communities regarding their endemism and element cycles.

Changes in area and number of nature reserves in China - Zhijun Ma; Ying Chen; David S. Melville; Jun Fan; Jianguo Liu; Jinwei Dong; Kun Tan; Xuefei Cheng; Richard A. Fuller; Xiangming Xiao; Bo Li (Conservation Biology, 2019)
Nature reserves (NR) are the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation. Over the past 60 years, the rapid expansion of NRs in China, one of the world's megadiverse countries, has played a critical role in slowing biodiversity loss. We examined the changes in the number and area of China's NRs from 1956 to 2014 and analyzed the effect of economic development on the expansion of China's NRs from 2005 to 2014 with linear models. Despite a continuing increase in the number of NRs, the total area of China's NRs decreased by 3% from 2007 to 2014. This loss resulted from downsizing and degazettement of existing NRs and a slowdown in the establishment of new ones. Nature reserves in regions with rapid economic development exhibited a greater decrease in area, suggesting that downsizing and degazettement of NRs are closely related to the intensifying competition between economic growth and conservation. For example, boundary adjustments to national NRs, the most strictly protected NRs, along the coast of China's Yellow Sea, a global biodiversity hotspot with a fast‐growing economy, resulted in the loss of one‐third of the total area. One of the most important ecosystems in these NRs, tidal wetlands, decreased by 27.8% because of boundary adjustments and by 25.2% because of land reclamation. Our results suggest conservation achievement, in terms of both area and quality, are declining at least in some regions in the Chinese NR estate. Although the designation of protected areas that are primarily managed for sustainable use has increased rapidly in recent years in China, we propose that NRs with biodiversity conservation as their main function should not be replaced or weakened.

Identification and Analysis of Vulnerability in Traffic-Intensive Areas of Water Transportation Systems - Yong-jun Chen; Qing Liu; Cheng-peng Wan; Qin Li; Peng-wei Yuan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
Water transportation accidents have occurred frequently in recent years. In order to improve the emergency response capability of water transportation systems under traffic-intensive conditions, this paper identifies and analyzes the vulnerability in traffic-intensive areas of water transportation systems. Firstly, the vulnerability identification model was constructed based on the analysis of characteristics and the vulnerability-influencing factors of water transportation systems. The newly proposed model is composed of three parts including the DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method, ISM (interpretative structural modeling) model, and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process)–entropy weight method. Finally, a case study of the Yangtze River was conducted to test the logicality and feasibility of the proposed model. The research results reveal that traffic flow density, ship traffic, tides, fog, and bad weather are the key factors affecting the vulnerability of water transportation in traffic-intensive areas of the Yangtze River estuary. However, the influence of navigation aid configuration, berth, anchorage, and obstruction on the system vulnerability is relatively lower. The findings of this study can provide helpful references for maritime administration authorities on the management of water transportation safety.

Species composition, functional and phylogenetic distances correlate with success of invasive Chromolaena odorata in an experimental test - Yu‐Long Zheng; Jean H. Burns; Zhi‐Yong Liao; Yang‐ping Li; Jie Yang; Ya‐jun Chen; Jiao‐lin Zhang; Yu‐guo Zheng (Ecology Letters, 2018)
Biotic resistance may influence invasion success; however, the relative roles of species richness, functional or phylogenetic distance in predicting invasion success are not fully understood. We used biomass fraction of Chromolaena odorata , an invasive species in tropical and subtropical areas, as a measure of ‘invasion success’ in a series of artificial communities varying in species richness. Communities were constructed using species from Mexico (native range) or China (non‐native range). We found strong evidence of biotic resistance: species richness and community biomass were negatively related with invasion success; invader biomass was greater in plant communities from China than from Mexico. Harvesting time had a greater effect on invasion success in plant communities from China than on those from Mexico. Functional and phylogenetic distances both correlated with invasion success and more functionally distant communities were more easily invaded. The effects of plant‐soil fungi and plant allelochemical interactions on invasion success were species‐specific.

Numerical Simulation and Uncertainty Analysis of an Axial-Flow Waterjet Pump - Ji-Tao Qiu; Chen-Jun Yang; Xiao-Qian Dong; Zong-Long Wang; Wei Li; Francis Noblesse (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018)
Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations of an axial-flow pump for waterjet propulsion are carried out at model scale, and the numerical uncertainties are analyzed mainly according to the procedure recommended by the twenty-eighth International Towing Tank Conference. The two-layer realizable k-ε model is adopted for turbulence closure, and the flow in viscous sub-layer is resolved. The governing equations are discretized with second-order schemes in space and first-order scheme in time and solved by the semi-implicit method for pressure-linked equations. The computational domain is discretized into block-structured hexahedral cells. For an axial-flow pump consisting of a seven-bladed rotor and a nine-bladed stator, the uncertainty analysis is conducted by using three sets of successively refined grids and time steps. In terms of the head and power over a range of flow rates, it is verified that the simulation uncertainty is less than 4.3%, and the validation is successfully achieved at an uncertainty level of 4.4% except for the lowest flow rate. Besides this, the simulated flow features around rotor blade tips and between the stator and rotor blade rows are investigated.

Impacts of climate change on reference evapotranspiration in the Qilian Mountains of China: Historical trends and projected changes - Pengfei Lin; Zhibin He; Jun Du; Longfei Chen; Xi Zhu; Jing Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Global climate change is likely to affect reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) and the use of water resources for vegetation management. Our goals were to identify spatio‐temporal characteristics of ET 0 and factors controlling the change in ET 0 and to project spatio‐temporal changes in the Qilian Mountains of China under the future climate conditions. Changes in ET 0 were estimated by the Penman–Monteith method for 22 meteorological stations from 1960 to 2015. We quantified the attributions of climatic factors with the differentiation equation method. Then, we assessed the spatio‐temporal changes in projected ET 0 with CanESM2 model outputs and statistical downscaling model for three representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios for years 2016–2100. We found that annual ET 0 averaged across the region was 1001.5 mm, with an insignificant decrease of −0.43 mm/year during 1960–2015. The lowest values were present in the alpine region in the central area, while the highest ET 0 was detected in the western region. An annual and seasonal “evaporation paradox” existed in the Qilian Mountains during the past few decades. Mean daily air temperature measured ( T mean ) and wind speed ( U 2 ) were the dominant factors in ET 0 change. However, the decreasing trend in ET 0 may be due to a diminished effect of T mean triggered by short‐wave radiation ( R s ), actual vapour pressure ( e a ), and wind speed ( U 2 ), but especially by the substantial reduction in U 2 at most stations. Compared with the baseline, ET 0 is likely to increase by 6.31–7.20, 6.11–10.41, and 6.58–17.66%, respectively, under RCP scenarios of 2.6 (very low forcing scenario), 4.5 (medium stabilization scenario), and 8.5 (very high emission scenario), but RCP2.6 ET 0 rates level off and even decline after 2050 while RCP4.5 rates climb only marginally after 2050. Thus, ET 0 projected with the CanESM2 model displayed an upwards trend in the Qilian Mountains, especially the central alpine region.

UV‐B induced biosynthesis of a novel sunscreen compound in solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacteria - Jin‐Long Shang; Zhong‐Chun Zhang; Xiao‐Yue Yin; Min Chen; Fu‐Hua Hao; Kai Wang; Jun‐Li Feng; Hai‐Feng Xu; Yan‐Chao Yin; Hui‐Ru Tang; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The small‐molecule sunscreen compounds, mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs), have strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption and can protect cyanobacteria against UV‐B damage. However, the molecular mechanism underlying UV‐B signaling and MAA chemical diversity remain largely unclear. Here, we identified a five‐gene cluster for MAA biosynthesis in the solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme . A LuxR family protein OrrA was identified as a positive UV‐B responsive regulator binding to the promoter region of this gene cluster. OrrA functions as an activator mediating the UV‐B induced MAA biosynthesis. Overexpression of orrA strengthened its UV‐B tolerance during desiccation, and enhanced the photosynthetic recovery upon rehydration. Heterologous expression of this gene cluster in Anabaena PCC 7120 produces the same MAA as that in field samples of N . flagelliforme . The MAA structure is assigned as mycosporine‐2‐(4‐deoxygadusolyl‐ornithine) with a molecular weight of 756 Da, the structurally unique MAA compound reported to date. This MAA was catalyzed by mysD‐mysC2‐mysC1 encoding proteins from 4‐deoxygadusol, which was synthesized through the catalysis of mysA‐mysB products. Thus, we elucidated the transcriptional mechanism for a novel type MAA biosynthesis in solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacteria, which shed light on the identification of other components for UV‐B signaling in cyanobacteria.
