Verticillium dahliae manipulates plant immunity by glycoside hydrolase 12 proteins in conjunction with carbohydrate‐binding module 1 - Yue‐Jing Gui; Jie‐Yin Chen; Dan‐Dan Zhang; Nan‐Yang Li; Ting‐Gang Li; Wen‐Qi Zhang; Xin‐Yan Wang; Dylan P. G. Short; Lei Li; Wei Guo; Zhi‐Qiang Kong; Yu‐Ming Bao; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
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.

Thioredoxins are involved in the activation of the PMK1 MAP kinase pathway during appressorium penetration and invasive growth in Magnaporthe oryzae - Shijie Zhang; Cong Jiang; Qiang Zhang; Linlu Qi; Chaohui Li; Jin‐Rong Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary In Magnaporthe oryzae , the Mst11‐Mst7‐Pmk1 MAP kinase pathway is essential for appressorium formation and invasive growth. To determine their roles in Pmk1 activation and plant infection, we characterized the two thioredoxin genes, TRX1 and TRX2 , in M. oryzae . Whereas the Δ trx1 mutants had no detectable phenotypes, deletion of TRX2 caused pleiotropic defects in growth, conidiation, light sensing, responses to stresses and plant infection progresses. The Δ trx1 Δ trx2 double mutant had more severe defects than the Δ trx2 mutant and was non‐pathogenic in infection assays. The Δ trx2 and Δ trx1 Δ trx2 mutant rarely formed appressoria on hyphal tips and were defective in invasive growth after penetration. Pmk1 phosphorylation was barely detectable in the Δ trx2 and Δ trx1 Δ trx2 mutants. Deletion of TRX2 affected proper folding or intra‐/inter‐molecular interaction of Mst7 and expression of the dominant active MST7 allele partially rescued the defects of the Δ trx1 Δ trx2 mutant. Furthermore, Cys305 is important for Mst7 function and Trx2 directly interacts with Mst7 in co‐IP assays. Our data indicated that thioredoxins play important roles in intra‐cellular ROS signalling and pathogenesis in M. oryzae . As the predominant thioredoxin gene, TRX2 may regulate the activation of Pmk1 MAPK via its effects on Mst7.

Strong and stable geographic differentiation of swamp buffalo maternal and paternal lineages indicates domestication in the China/Indochina border region - Yi Zhang; Yongfang Lu; Marnoch Yindee; Kuan‐Yi Li; Hsiao‐Yun Kuo; Yu‐Ten Ju; Shaohui Ye; Md Omar Faruque; Qiang Li; Yachun Wang; Vu Chi Cuong; Lan Doan Pham; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2016)
The swamp type of the Asian water buffalo is assumed to have been domesticated by about 4000 years BP , following the introduction of rice cultivation. Previous localizations of the domestication site were based on mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA ) variation within China, accounting only for the maternal lineage. We carried out a comprehensive sampling of China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Nepal and Bangladesh and sequenced the mt DNA Cytochrome b gene and control region and the Y‐chromosomal ZFY , SRY and DBY sequences. Swamp buffalo has a higher diversity of both maternal and paternal lineages than river buffalo, with also a remarkable contrast between a weak phylogeographic structure of river buffalo and a strong geographic differentiation of swamp buffalo. The highest diversity of the swamp buffalo maternal lineages was found in south China and north Indochina on both banks of the Mekong River, while the highest diversity in paternal lineages was in the China/Indochina border region. We propose that domestication in this region was later followed by introgressive capture of wild cows west of the Mekong. Migration to the north followed the Yangtze valley as well as a more eastern route, but also involved translocations of both cows and bulls over large distances with a minor influence of river buffaloes in recent decades. Bayesian analyses of various migration models also supported domestication in the China/Indochina border region. Coalescence analysis yielded consistent estimates for the expansion of the major swamp buffalo haplogroups with a credibility interval of 900 to 3900 years BP . The spatial differentiation of mt DNA and Y‐chromosomal haplotype distributions indicates a lack of gene flow between established populations that is unprecedented in livestock.

A novel soil manganese mechanism drives plant species loss with increased nitrogen deposition in a temperate steppe - Qiuying Tian; Nana Liu; Wenming Bai; Linghao Li; Jiquan Chen; Peter B. Reich; Qiang Yu; Dali Guo; Melinda D. Smith; Alan K. Knapp; Weixin Cheng; Peng Lu; et al. (Ecology, 2016)
Loss of plant diversity with increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition in grasslands has occurred globally. In most cases, competitive exclusion driven by preemption of light or space is invoked as a key mechanism. Here, we provide evidence from a 9‐yr N‐addition experiment for an alternative mechanism: differential sensitivity of forbs and grasses to increased soil manganese (Mn) levels. In Inner Mongolia steppes, increasing the N supply shifted plant community composition from grass–forb codominance (primarily Stipa krylovii and Artemisia frigida , respectively) to exclusive dominance by grass, with associated declines in overall species richness. Reduced abundance of forbs was linked to soil acidification that increased mobilization of soil Mn, with a 10‐fold greater accumulation of Mn in forbs than in grasses. The enhanced accumulation of Mn in forbs was correlated with reduced photosynthetic rates and growth, and is consistent with the loss of forb species. Differential accumulation of Mn between forbs and grasses can be linked to fundamental differences between dicots and monocots in the biochemical pathways regulating metal transport. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for N‐induced species loss in temperate grasslands by linking metal mobilization in soil to differential metal acquisition and impacts on key functional groups in these ecosystems.

Spatiotemporal variations of pan evaporation in China during 1960–2005: changing patterns and causes - Qiang Zhang; Tianyao Qi; Jianfeng Li; Vijay P. Singh; Zongzhi Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2015)
Observed pan evaporation data from 588 stations covering the entire territory of China are analysed using the modified Mann–Kendall trend test method. Fuzzy C‐Means clustering is conducted for regionalization. Sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the principal influencing factors. Results indicate that: (1) the entire country can be categorized into three parts, i.e. A: southern, central and southwestern China; B: northwestern China and C: strip zone extending from northeastern to southwestern China; (2) significant decreasing pan evaporation can be identified in southern, central, southwestern, eastern and northwestern China. Stations with significant increasing pan evaporation seem to be scattered sporadically across China. Besides, the strip zone extending in the NE‐SW direction is dominated by significant and also nonsignificant increasing trends of pan evaporation and (3) sensitivity analysis indicates that relative humidity is the principal influencing factor for pan evaporation, especially in northwestern, northern and northeastern China. Generally, in northwestern, northern and northeastern China, relative humidity has an adverse relation with pan evaporation, implying pan evaporation paradox and also intensifying hydrological cycle in these regions. In southeastern China, particularly the middle and lower Yangtze River basin and the Pearl River basin, relations between pan evaporation and relative humidity are relatively complex, showing that other factors in addition to relative humidity can have impacts on pan evaporation changes, such as cloud coverage, temperature and aerosol concentration. Local features of aerodynamic and radiative drivers of the hydrological cycle and their regional responses to climate changes, and also different features of ground surface may play considerable roles in pan evaporation changes.

Summary Microbes colonize human oral surfaces within hours after delivery. During postnatal development, physiological changes, such as the eruption of primary teeth and replacement of the primary dentition with permanent dentition, greatly alter the microbial habitats, which, in return, may lead to community composition shifts at different phases in people's lives. By profiling saliva, supragingival and mucosal plaque samples from healthy volunteers at different ages and dentition stages, we observed that the oral cavity is a highly heterogeneous ecological system containing distinct niches with significantly different microbial communities. More importantly, the phylogenetic microbial structure varies with ageing. In addition, only a few taxa were present across the whole populations, indicating a core oral microbiome should be defined based on age and oral niches.

Paternal epigenetic effects of population density on locust phase‐related characteristics associated with heat‐shock protein expression - Bing Chen; Shaoqin Li; Qiang Ren; Xiwen Tong; Xia Zhang; Le Kang (Molecular Ecology, 2015)
Many species exhibit transgenerational plasticity by which environmental cues experienced by either parent can be transmitted to their offspring, resulting in phenotypic variants in offspring to match ancestral environments. However, the manner by which paternal experiences affect offspring plasticity through epigenetic inheritance in animals generally remains unclear. In this study, we examined the transgenerational effects of population density on phase‐related traits in the migratory locust L ocusta migratoria . Using an experimental design that explicitly controls genetic background, we found that the effects of crowd or isolation rearing on phase plasticity could be inherited to the offspring. The isolation of gregarious locusts resulted in reduced weight in offspring eggs and altered morphometric traits in hatchlings, whereas crowding of solitarious locusts exhibited opposite effects. The consequences of density changes were transmitted by both maternal and paternal inheritance, although the expression of paternal effects was not as pronounced as that of maternal effects. Prominent expression of heat‐shock proteins ( Hsp s), such as Hsp90 , Hsp70 and Hsp20.6 , could be triggered by density changes. Hsp s were significantly upregulated upon crowding but downregulated upon isolation. The variation in parental Hsp expression was also transmitted to the offspring, in which the pattern of inheritance was consistent with that of phase characteristics. These results revealed a paternal effect on phase polyphenism and Hsp expression induced by population density, and defined a model system that could be used to study the paternal epigenetic inheritance of environmental changes.

Closing the yield gap could reduce projected greenhouse gas emissions: a case study of maize production in C hina - Zhenling Cui; Shanchao Yue; Guiliang Wang; Qingfeng Meng; Liang Wu; Zhiping Yang; Qiang Zhang; Shiqing Li; Fusuo Zhang; Xinping Chen (Global Change Biology, 2013)
Although the goal of doubling food demand while simultaneously reducing agricultural environmental damage has become widely accepted, the dominant agricultural paradigm still considers high yields and reduced greenhouse gas ( GHG ) intensity to be in conflict with one another. Here, we achieved an increase in maize yield of 70% in on‐farm experiments by closing the yield gap and evaluated the trade‐off between grain yield, nitrogen (N) fertilizer use, and GHG emissions. Based on two groups of N application experiments in six locations for 16 on‐farm site‐years, an integrated soil‐crop system ( HY ) approach achieved 93% of the yield potential and averaged 14.8 Mg ha −1 maize grain yield at 15.5% moisture. This is 70% higher than current crop ( CC ) management. More importantly, the optimal N rate for the HY system was 250 kg N ha −1 , which is only 38% more N fertilizer input than that applied in the CC system. Both the N 2 O emission intensity and GHG intensity increased exponentially as the N application rate increased, and the response curve for the CC system was always higher than that for the HY system. Although the N application rate increased by 38%, N 2 O emission intensity and the GHG intensity of the HY system were reduced by 12% and 19%, respectively. These on‐farm observations indicate that closing the yield gap alongside efficient N management should therefore be prominent among a portfolio of strategies to meet food demand while reducing GHG intensity at the same time.

Copula‐based spatio‐temporal patterns of precipitation extremes in China - Qiang Zhang; Jianfeng Li; Vijay P. Singh; Chong‐Yu Xu (International Journal of Climatology, 2013)
Daily precipitation data from 590 stations in China covering a period of 1960–2005 are analysed using copulas, the modified Mann–Kendall (MK) trend test and linear regression. Changing characteristics of eight precipitation indices are investigated in both time and space. Results indicate that (1) the regions west of 100°E, particularly northwest China, exhibit a wetting tendency as reflected by increasing/decreasing number of consecutive rain/non‐rain days; (2) the drying tendency is observed mainly in the regions covered by the Yellow River basin, the Huaihe River basin, and the Haihe River basin, and relatively moderate changes in precipitation indices are found in northeast China; (3) precipitation extremes are intensifying in the regions east of 100°E, particularly in case of south China, specifically the lower Yangtze River basin, the southeast rivers and the Pearl River basin. The intensification of precipitation extremes in south China is mirrored mainly by the decreasing number of rain days and increasing number of consecutive non‐rain days. Besides an increasing percentage of P90 to the annual total precipitation, (4) the intensification of precipitation extremes has the potential to increase the probability of occurrence of natural hazards, particularly floods and droughts. The spatial distribution of flood‐ and drought‐affected crop areas is in agreement with that of precipitation extremes, showing considerable impacts of precipitation extremes on meteor‐hydrological hazards. An increasing number of consecutive non‐rain days in south China will cause a higher risk of droughts. The regions east of 100°E are heavily populated and are economically developed. Food security, water security, and sustainable socioeconomy in China urgently call for effective water resource management policy. Copyright © 2012 Royal Meteorological Society
