Background Both photosynthetic pigments and chloroplasts in plant leaf cells play an important role in deciding on the photosynthetic capacity and efficiency in plants. Systematical investigating the regulatory mechanism of chloroplast development and chlorophyll (Chl) content variation is necessary for clarifying the photosynthesis mechanism for crops. Objective This study aims to explore the critical regulatory mechanism of leaf color mutation in a yellow–green leaf sesame mutant Siyl - 1 . Methods We performed the genetic analysis of the yellow-green leaf color mutation using the F 2 population of the mutant Siyl - 1 . We compared the morphological structure of the chloroplasts, chlorophyll content of the three genotypes of the mutant F 2 progeny. We performed the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and compared the protein expression variation between the mutant progeny and the wild type. Results Genetic analysis indicated that there were 3 phenotypes of the F 2 population of the mutant Siyl - 1 , i.e., YY type with light-yellow leaf color (lethal); Yy type with yellow-green leaf color, and yy type with normal green leaf color. The yellow-green mutation was controlled by an incompletely dominant nuclear gene, Siyl - 1 . Compared with the wild genotype, the chloroplast number and the morphological structure in YY and Yy mutant lines varied evidently. The chlorophyll content also significantly decreased ( P < 0.05 ). The 2-DE comparison showed that there were 98 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) among YY, Yy, and yy lines. All the 98 DEPs were classified into 5 functional groups. Of which 82.7% DEPs proteins belonged to the photosynthesis and energy metabolism group. Conclusion The results revealed the genetic character of yellow-green leaf color mutant Siyl - 1 . 98 DEPs were found in YY and Yy mutant compared with the wild genotype. The regulation pathway related with the yellow leaf trait mutation in sesame was analyzed for the first time. The findings supplied the basic theoretical and gene basis for leaf color and chloroplast development mechanism in sesame.

Rapid diversification of alpine bamboos associated with the uplift of the Hengduan Mountains - Xia‐Ying Ye; Peng‐Fei Ma; Guo‐Qian Yang; Cen Guo; Yu‐Xiao Zhang; Yun‐Mei Chen; Zhen‐Hua Guo; De‐Zhu Li (Journal of Biogeography, 2019)
Aim The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) of southwest China is a biodiversity hotspot and harbours one of the world's richest temperate floras. However, the origin and evolution of its biota remain largely unresolved. Here we explore the impact of mountain uplift on the diversification process of biodiversity in this hotspot using alpine bamboos. Location The HDM region, southwest China. Taxon Alpine bamboos. Methods We used ddRAD‐seq data from the most complete sampling of alpine bamboos undertaken to date (79% of the species diversity), to investigate their evolutionary history. The ancestral area of these bamboos was reconstructed using a time‐calibrated phylogeny in BioGeoBEARS and diversification rates were inferred using BAMM analyses. In addition, the impact of mountain uplift on the divergence of alpine bamboos was evaluated using trait‐dependent models of diversification. Results The alpine bamboos were strongly supported as monophyletic, and the relationships within them were robustly resolved. Fargesia was found to be polyphyletic and Yushania was resolved as monophyletic. Alpine bamboos originated outside the HDM region during the late Miocene, and spread to this region in the Pliocene, undergoing a significant acceleration in net diversification, which is temporally congruent with the orogeny. The speciation rate increased with altitude and a high diversification rate, estimated to be 0.75 species per million years, was detected for alpine bamboos distributed in high elevations. Main Conclusions Our study demonstrates that heterogeneous mountain habitats and geographical isolation of alpine bamboos, which have limited dispersal ability, are important drivers for their rapid diversification. This study also highlights the power of complementary analyses in revealing the link between species diversification and past geological changes.

The Verticillium dahliae Sho1‐MAPK pathway regulates melanin biosynthesis and is required for cotton infection - Jun‐Jiao Li; Lei Zhou; Chun‐Mei Yin; Dan‐Dan Zhang; Steven J. Klosterman; Bao‐Li Wang; Jian Song; Dan Wang; Xiao‐Ping Hu; Krishna V. Subbarao; Jie‐Yin Chen; Xiao‐Feng Dai (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
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.

The metabolic regulation of dietary L‐carnitine in aquaculture nutrition: present status and future research strategies - Ling‐Yu Li; Samwel M. Limbu; Qiang Ma; Li‐Qiao Chen; Mei‐Ling Zhang; Zhen‐Yu Du (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2019)
L‐carnitine is a multi‐functional nutrient which plays a leading role in fatty acid metabolism in mammals and other eukaryotes. Its main physiological function is to promote fatty acid β‐oxidation to produce energy, which reduces body fat content and improves body weight without affecting moisture content in whole body and muscle. In recent years, its dietary supplementation in aquaculture nutrition has been studied in different cultured species. It has been proved that L‐carnitine can improve growth and increase lipid utilization rate in some aquatic animals. However, such beneficial effects of dietary L‐carnitine are limited or absent in other species. The reasons for the conflicting results obtained on L‐carnitine functions in aquatic animals need to be elucidated. This review explores comprehensively the different physiological functions of L‐carnitine in various aquatic animals. In the end, research strategies are provided to elucidate the existing conflicts on dietary L‐carnitine application in aquaculture nutrition in order to promote its utilization in aquatic feed industry.

Downscaling and projection of summer rainfall in Eastern China using a nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model - Lianyi Guo; Zhihong Jiang; Mei Ding; Weilin Chen; Laurent Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
A nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model (NHMM) is used to stochastically simulate summer (June–August) daily precipitations in the middle and low reaches of the Yangtze River in Eastern China, with driving forcing from three global climate models (GCMs). Simulations cover the historical period from 1961 to 2005 and from 2006 to 2100 following the RCP4.5 scenario. The model is first evaluated against data from the regional observation network. The results show that NHMM effectively enhances the ability of GCMs in simulating summer daily rainfall in the region. For future projection at different time horizons of the 21st century, the spectral distribution of regional precipitations (in function of their intensity) shows consistent changes with a decrease of occurrence probability for light rain ( 10 mm/day). Among variables of interest, total precipitation (PRCPTOT), precipitation intensity, the number of rainy days for daily precipitation exceeding 10 mm (R10mm) and 95th percentile of precipitation (P95), all show a gradually increasing trend in the 21st century, and geographically an eastward gradient with smaller increase (or even weak decrease) for the west and larger increase for the east. It is noted that obvious changes occur in the eastern region with 95% significance level, and PRCPTOT or R10mm increases by 40–60% in the late 21st century. Further quantitative assessment is performed for global warming of 1.5 and 2°C. The half‐degree additional warming makes R10mm change by −3.7, 2.4 and 12.1% over western, central and eastern regions, respectively.

Factors regulating carbon sinks in mangrove ecosystems - Shi‐Bo Li; Po‐Hung Chen; Jih‐Sheng Huang; Mei‐Li Hsueh; Li‐Yung Hsieh; Chen‐Lu Lee; Hsing‐Juh Lin (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Mangroves are recognized as one of the richest carbon storage systems. However, the factors regulating carbon sinks in mangrove ecosystems are still unclear, particularly in the subtropical mangroves. The biomass, production, litterfall, detrital export and decomposition of the dominant mangrove vegetation in subtropical ( Kandelia obovata ) and tropical ( Avicennia marina ) Taiwan were quantified from October 2011 to July 2014 to construct the carbon budgets. Despite the different tree species, a principal component analysis revealed the site or environmental conditions had a greater influence than the tree species on the carbon processes. For both species, the net production (NP) rates ranged from 10.86 to 27.64 Mg C ha −1 year −1 and were higher than the global average rate due to the high tree density. While most of the litterfall remained on the ground, a high percentage (72%–91%) of the ground litter decomposed within 1 year and fluxed out of the mangroves. However, human activities might cause a carbon flux into the mangroves and a lower NP rate. The rates of the organic carbon export and soil heterotrophic respiration were greater than the global mean values and those at other locations. Only a small percentage (3%–12%) of the NP was stored in the sediment. The carbon burial rates were much lower than the global average rate due to their faster decomposition, indicating that decomposition played a critical role in determining the burial rate in the sediment. The summation of the organic and inorganic carbon fluxes and soil heterotrophic respiration well exceeded the amount of litter decomposition, indicating an additional source of organic carbon that was unaccounted for by decomposition in the sediment. Sediment‐stable isotope analyses further suggest that the trapping of organic matter from upstream rivers or adjacent waters contributed more to the mangrove carbon sinks than the actual production of the mangrove trees.

Summary Quorum sensing (QS) exists widely among bacteria, enabling a transition to multicellular behaviour after bacterial populations reach a particular density. The coordination of multicellularity enables biotechnological application, dissolution of biofilms, coordination of virulence, and so forth. Here, a method to elicit and subsequently disperse multicellular behaviour among QS‐negative cells is developed using magnetic nanoparticle assembly. We fabricated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs, ∼5 nm) that electrostatically collect wild‐type (WT) Escherichia coli BL21 cells and brings them into proximity of bioengineered E. coli [CT104 (W3110 lsrFG − luxS − pCT6 + pET‐DsRed)] reporter cells that exhibit a QS response after receiving autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2). By shortening the distance between WT and reporter cells (e.g., increasing local available AI‐2 concentrations), the QS response signalling was amplified four‐fold compared to that in native conditions without assembly. This study suggests potential applications in facilitating intercellular communication and modulating multicellular behaviours based on user‐specified designs.

Late Quaternary glacial history of the Nalati Range, central Tian Shan, China, investigated using 10 Be surface exposure dating - Mei Zhang; Yixin Chen; Yingkui Li; Gengnian Liu (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2016)
We constrained glacial chronologies in three valleys on the southern slopes of the Nalati Range in the central Tian Shan, China: the Takelakete, Aiken and Sairenwuxunsala valleys, using 10 Be surface exposure dating. Our 10 Be exposure ages constrain three glacial events during 72.8 ± 3.8–59.9 ± 3.5 ka, 55.4 ± 3.0–34.9 ± 2.1 and 0.29 ± 0.17–0.27 ± 0.20 ka, corresponding to Marine Oxygen Isotope Stages (MIS) 4 and 3, and Little Ice Age (LIA), respectively. Glaciers have been restricted from composite valley glaciers and piedmont glaciers during MIS 4–3 to confined valley glaciers during MIS 3, to small valley glaciers during the LIA, and to hanging and cirque glaciers at present. This pattern of glacial change is broadly consistent with other glaciated areas across the Tian Shan. Extensive glacial advances during MIS 4 and 3 were probably driven by enhanced precipitation brought by the westerlies. Compared to MIS 3 glacial advance, lower temperature may counteract the effect of relatively lower precipitation to drive a similar or even larger glacial advance during MIS 4. Glacial advances were limited during MIS 2, probably reflecting enhanced arid conditions in the Tian Shan caused by the weakened westerlies and strengthened Siberian High.

Drug-Induced Modulation of T Lymphocytes as a Potential Mechanism of Susceptibility to Infections in Patients with Multiple Myeloma During Bortezomib Therapy - Juan Li; Ying Li; Beihui Huang; Dong Zheng; Mei Chen; Zhenhai Zhou (Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2015)
Bortezomib is effective in the therapy of multiple myeloma (MM), but causes infections that are different from those associated with conventional chemotherapy. It is important to identify the risk factors that facilitate infections associated with bortezomib therapy. In the present report, we sought to (1) define the features of the infections associated with this therapy and (2) identify the immune mechanisms responsible for the observed susceptibility to these infections. We first retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 143 patients who had received bortezomib therapy for MM. We then prospectively assessed the modulation of T lymphocyte status during this therapy, and evaluated potential relationships between infections and T lymphocyte changes. The infection rates peaked during the first cycle of bortezomib therapy (47.6 %) in patients with MM ( p < 0.05 vs. subsequent cycles). Bortezomib therapy was associated with higher incidence rates of viral and fungal infections (15.8 %, p < 0.05 vs. conventional chemotherapy). In addition, patients with the IgG immunophenotype showed higher bacterial and viral infection rates (respectively, p = 0.008 and 0.009). The T lymphocyte numbers significantly decreased after bortezomib therapy ( p < 0.05), and the same was true for the Th1/Th2 ratio ( p < 0.01). Patients with MM who have decreased lymphocyte counts, while on bortezomib therapy are more likely to develop bacterial or viral infections. In addition, an imbalance in T lymphocyte subsets is also associated with bacterial or viral infections in these patients.
