Demography and adaptation promoting evolutionary transitions in a mammalian genus that diversified during the Pleistocene - Menno J. de Jong; Zhipeng Li; Yanli Qin; Erwan Quéméré; Karis Baker; Wen Wang; A. Rus Hoelzel (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
Species that evolved in temperate regions during the Pleistocene experienced periods of extreme climatic transitions. Consequent population fragmentation and dynamics had the potential to generate small, isolated populations where the influence of genetic drift would be expected to be strong. We use comparative genomics to assess the evolutionary influence of historical demographics and natural selection through a series of transitions associated with the formation of the genus Capreolus , speciation within this genus during the Quaternary and during divergence among European roe deer ( C. capreolus ) populations. Our analyses were facilitated by the generation of a new high‐coverage reference genome for the Siberian roe deer ( C. pygargus ). We find progressive reductions in effective population size ( N e ), despite very large census sizes in modern C. capreolus populations and show that low N e has impacted the C. capreolus genome, reducing diversity and increasing linkage disequilibrium. Even so, we find evidence for natural selection shared among C. capreolus populations, including a historically documented founder population that has been through a severe bottleneck. During each phylogenetic transition there is evidence for selection (from dN/dS and nucleotide diversity tests), including at loci associated with diapause (delayed embryonic development), a phenotype restricted to this genus among the even‐toed ungulates. Together these data allow us to assess expectations for the origin and diversification of a mammalian genus during a period of extreme environmental change.

Plastic pollution is a global concern given its prevalence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies have been conducted on the distribution and impact of plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, but little is known on terrestrial ecosystems. Plastic mulch has been widely used to increase crop yields worldwide, yet the impact of plastic residues in cropland soils to soil health and crop production in the long term remained unclear. In this paper, using a global meta‐analysis, we found that the use of plastic mulch can indeed increase crop yields on average by 25%–42% in the immediate season due to the increase of soil temperature (+8%) and moisture (+17%). However, the unabated accumulation of film residues in the field negatively impacts its physicochemical properties linked to healthy soil and threatens food production in the long term. It has multiple negative impacts on plant growth including crop yield (at the mean rate of −3% for every additional 100 kg/ha of film residue), plant height (−2%) and root weight (−5%), and soil properties including soil water evaporation capacity (−2%), soil water infiltration rate (−8%), soil organic matter (−0.8%) and soil available phosphorus (−5%) based on meta‐regression. Using a nationwide field survey of China, the largest user of plastic mulch worldwide, we found that plastic residue accumulation in cropland soils has reached 550,800 tonnes, with an estimated 6%–10% reduction in cotton yield in some polluted sites based on current level of plastic residue content. Immediate actions should be taken to ensure the recovery of plastic film mulch and limit further increase in film residue loading to maintain the sustainability of these croplands.

Sapoviruses (SAVs), including several genogroups (GI to GV), are one of the causes of acute gastroenteritis (AGE). In this study, viral metagenomics revealed the presence of sapoviruses of different genogroups in stool from children with AGE. Eight different complete SAV genomes were determined, of which five belonged to GI and the other three belonged to GII, GIV and GV, respectively. Although they were highly similar to published sequences, the GIV and GV were the first complete genome sequences of these SAVs found in China. In a prevalence investigation, 19% of subjects with AGE were positive for SAVs, while none of the control group was positive.

Plants use only a fraction of their photosynthetically derived carbon for biomass production (BP). The biomass production efficiency (BPE), defined as the ratio of BP to photosynthesis, and its variation across and within vegetation types is poorly understood, which hinders our capacity to accurately estimate carbon turnover times and carbon sinks. Here, we present a new global estimation of BPE obtained by combining field measurements from 113 sites with 14 carbon cycle models. Our best estimate of global BPE is 0.41 ± 0.05, excluding cropland. The largest BPE is found in boreal forests (0.48 ± 0.06) and the lowest in tropical forests (0.40 ± 0.04). Carbon cycle models overestimate BPE, although models with carbon–nitrogen interactions tend to be more realistic. Using observation‐based estimates of global photosynthesis, we quantify the global BP of non‐cropland ecosystems of 41 ± 6 Pg C/year. This flux is less than net primary production as it does not contain carbon allocated to symbionts, used for exudates or volatile carbon compound emissions to the atmosphere. Our study reveals a positive bias of 24 ± 11% in the model‐estimated BP (10 of 14 models). When correcting models for this bias while leaving modeled carbon turnover times unchanged, we found that the global ecosystem carbon storage change during the last century is decreased by 67% (or 58 Pg C).

Systematic analysis of long non-coding RNA and mRNA expression changes in ApoE-deficient mice during atherosclerosis - Xiaoqian Lou; Xiaoyan Ma; Dawei Wang; Xiangjun Li; Bo Sun; Tong Zhang; Meng Qin; Liqun Ren (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2019)
Atherosclerosis plays an important role in the pathology of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and systemic vascular disease. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in most biological processes and are deregulated in many human diseases. However, the expression alteration and precise role of lncRNAs during atherosclerosis are unknown. We report here the systematic profiling of lncRNAs and mRNAs in an ApoE-deficient (ApoE − / − ) mouse model of atherosclerosis. Clariom D solutions for the mouse Affymetrix Gene Chip were employed to analyze the RNAs from control and ApoE − / − mice. The functions of the differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs and the relationships of their expression with atherosclerosis were analyzed by gene ontology, co-expression network, pathway enrichment, and lncRNA target pathway network analyses. Quantitative real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) was used to determine the expression of mRNAs and lncRNAs. A total of 2212 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in ApoE − / − mice, including 1186 up-regulated and 1026 down-regulated lncRNAs (|FC| ≥ 1.1, p < 0.05). A total of 1190 differentially expressed mRNAs were found in the ApoE − / − mice with 384 up-regulated and 806 down-regulated (|FC| ≥ 1.1, p < 0.05). Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated extensive co-expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs and concomitant deregulation of multiple signaling pathways associated with the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. The identified differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs as well as the related signaling pathways may provide systematic information for understanding the pathogenesis and identifying biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of atherosclerosis.

AoStuA, an APSES transcription factor, regulates the conidiation, trap formation, stress resistance and pathogenicity of the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora - Meihua Xie; Yunchuan Wang; Liyan Tang; Le Yang; Duanxu Zhou; Qing Li; Xuemei Niu; Ke‐Qin Zhang; Jinkui Yang (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The APSES protein family comprises a conserved class of fungus‐specific transcriptional regulators. Some members have been identified in partial ascomycetes. In this study, the APSES protein StuA (AoStuA) of the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora was characterized. Compared with the wild‐type (WT) strain, three Δ AoStuA mutants grew relatively slowly, displayed a 96% reduction in sporulation capacity and a delay in conidial germination. The reduced sporulation capacity correlated with transcriptional repression of several sporulation‐related genes. The mutants were also more sensitive to chemical stressors than the WT strain. Importantly, the mutants were unable to produce mycelial traps for nematode predation. Moreover, peroxisomes and Woronin bod ies were abundant in the WT cells but hardly found in the cells of those mutants. The lack of such organelles correlated with transcriptional repression of some genes involved in the biogenesis of peroxisomes and Woronin bod ies. The transcript levels of several genes involved in the cAMP/PKA signalling pathway were also significantly reduced in the mutants versus the WT strain, implicating a regulatory role of AoStuA in the transcription of genes involved in the cAMP/PKA signalling pathway that regulates an array of cellular processes and events. In particular, AoStuA is indispensable for A . oligospora trap formation and virulence.

Aerosol radiative effects from observations and modelling over the Yangtze River Basin, China from 2001 to 2015 - Lan Yu; Ming Zhang; Lunche Wang; Wenmin Qin; Junli Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
In this study, a quantitative assessment of clear‐sky aerosol direct radiative effects (ADREs) at the surface over the Yangtze River Basin (YRB), China was conducted based on Mesoscale Atmospheric Global Irradiance Code (MAGIC) radiation code (direct method) and ground‐based measurements (indirect method). For the direct method, The ADRE at the surface was calculated using MAGIC radiation code with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and interim ECMWF Re‐Analysis (ERA‐INTERIM) integrated water vapour as input. Results showed that the multi‐year average ADRE ranged from −39.29 to −1.95 W/m 2 with mean values of −18.19 ± 1.44 W/m 2 . High ADRE (larger than −34 W/m 2 ) occurred in Sichuan Basin, Central Hubei Province and Yangtze River Delta. The seasonal ADRE was high in spring (−23.05 ± 13.48 W/m 2 ) and low in winter (−14.24 ± 8.51 W/m 2 ). Generally, an increasing trend (0.27 W/m 2 per year) of ADRE was found from 2001 to 2010 and a decreasing trend (−0.72 W/m 2 per year) from 2011 to 2015. The water vapour radiative effect (WVRE) was calculated using MAGIC radiation code and the multi‐year average value was −52.59 ± 1.45 W/m 2 , which indicated the attenuation of clear‐sky radiation in YRB due to water vapour was stronger than the aerosols. However, the trends of water vapour effects were 0.03 W/m 2 per year during 2001–2010 and −0.37 W/m 2 per year during 2011–2015, which were much smaller than the trends of ADRE. For the indirect method, the clear‐sky ADRE at sites was calculated using the solar radiation observations. The variations of annual average ADRE obtained by above methods gave good match. An obvious increasing trend (−0.71 W/m 2 per year) of aerosol radiative cooling effect was found in Central Hubei Province from 2001 to 2010 and an obvious decreasing trend (3.23 W/m 2 per year) in Sichuan Basin from 2011 to 2015. The determination coefficient ( R 2 ) between ADRE trends and clear‐sky solar radiation trends is 0.874, indicating that the trends of clear‐sky solar radiation were mainly determined by the trends of ADRE.

The inhibitory activities and antiviral mechanism of Viola philippica aqueous extracts against grouper iridovirus infection in vitro and in vivo - Qing Yu; Mingzhu Liu; Hehe Xiao; Siting Wu; Xianling Qin; Zijun Lu; Deqiang Shi; Siqiao Li; Huizhi Mi; Yibing Wang; Hongfei Su; Taixia Wang; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019)
Grouper iridovirus (GIV) is one of the most serious pathogens in mariculture and causes high mortality rates in cultured groupers; then, effective medicines for controlling GIV infections are urgently needed. Viola philippica is a well‐known medicinal plant, and the application of V. philippica aqueous extracts against GIV infection was assessed by different methods in this study. The results showed that the working concentration of V. philippica aqueous extracts was 10 mg/ml. V. philippica aqueous extracts below 10 mg/ml have no significant cytotoxic effects on cell viability, while extracts over 15 mg/ml decreased cell viability and showed cytotoxic activity. V. philippica aqueous extracts had excellent inhibitory effects against GIV infection in vitro and in vivo. The possible antiviral mechanism of V. philippica was further analysed, which indicated that V. philippica did no damages to GIV particles, but it could disturb GIV binding, entry and replication in host cells. V. philippica had the best inhibitory effects against GIV during viral infection stage of binding and replication in host cells. Overall, the results suggest that appropriate concentration of V. philippica aqueous extracts has great antiviral effects, making it an interesting candidate for developing effective medicines for preventing and controlling GIV infection in farmed groupers.

Excess nutrients from fertilizer application, pollution discharge, and water regulations outflow through rivers from lands to oceans, seriously impacting coastal ecosystems. A reasonable representation of these processes in land surface models and River Transport Models (RTMs) is very important for understanding human–environment interactions. In this study, the schemes of riverine dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) transport and human activities including nitrogen discharge and water regulation, were synchronously incorporated into a land surface model coupled with a RTM. The effects of anthropogenic nitrogen discharge on the DIN transport in rivers were studied based on simulations of the period 1991–2010 throughout the entire world, conducted using the developed model, which had a spatial resolution of about 1° for land processes and 0.5° for river transport, and data on fertilizer application, point source pollution, and water use. Our results showed that rivers in western Europe and eastern China were seriously polluted, on average, at a rate of 5,000–15,000 tons per year. In the Yangtze River Basin, the amount of point source pollution in 2010 was about four times more than that in 1991, while the amount of fertilizer used in 2010 doubled, which resulted in the increased riverine DIN levels. Further comparisons suggested that the riverine DIN in the USA was affected primarily by nitrogen fertilizer use, the changes in DIN flow rate in European rivers was dominated by point source pollution, and rivers in China were seriously polluted by both the two pollution sources. The total anthropogenic impact on the DIN exported to the Pacific Ocean has increased from 10% to 30%, more significantly than other oceans. In general, our results indicated that incorporating the schemes of nitrogen transport and human activities into land surface models could be an effective way to monitor global river water quality and diagnose the performance of the land surface modeling.

Downscaling satellite‐derived daily precipitation products with an integrated framework - Fengrui Chen; Yongqi Gao; Yiguo Wang; Fen Qin; Xi Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Spatially downscaling satellite precipitation products have been performed on annual and monthly precipitation. Accurate downscaling on daily precipitation remains a challenge due to the limitation of the downscaling assumption, the large spatial discontinuity of daily precipitation, and the relatively poor quality of satellite‐derived daily precipitation product. In this study, an integrated downscaling‐fusion framework was proposed and used to downscale satellite‐derived daily precipitation. First, a spatio‐temporal downscaling scheme is applied to produce preliminary downscaled daily precipitation. The accuracy of the derived preliminary results is then boosted by merging with daily gauge observations using an ensemble fusion method. The performance of the proposed framework was tested and evaluated by downscaling the Integrated Multi‐satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) daily precipitation data from 0.1 to 0.01° over eastern and central China for the period of 2015–2016. The results showed that (a) the downscaling scheme accurately mapped the spatio‐temporal variation in daily precipitation, and the preliminary downscaled results perfectly maintained the accuracy of the original IMERG data; (b) the fused results were much more accurate than the original IMERG data, decreasing the root‐mean‐square errors (RMSEs) by 22, 10, and 18% at daily, monthly, and annual timescales, respectively, for the whole period; and (c) the fused daily precipitation data considerably strengthened the detection of rain/no rain area compared with the original IMERG daily precipitation data, with a 17% reduction in the inconsistency index.

Limited potential of harvest index improvement to reduce methane emissions from rice paddies - Yu Jiang; Haoyu Qian; Ling Wang; Jinfei Feng; Shan Huang; Bruce A. Hungate; Chris van Kessel; William R. Horwath; Xingyue Zhang; Xiaobo Qin; Yue Li; Xiaomin Feng; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Rice is a staple food for nearly half of the world's population, but rice paddies constitute a major source of anthropogenic CH 4 emissions. Root exudates from growing rice plants are an important substrate for methane‐producing microorganisms. Therefore, breeding efforts optimizing rice plant photosynthate allocation to grains, i.e., increasing harvest index (HI), are widely expected to reduce CH 4 emissions with higher yield. Here we show, by combining a series of experiments, meta‐analyses and an expert survey, that the potential of CH 4 mitigation from rice paddies through HI improvement is in fact small. Whereas HI improvement reduced CH 4 emissions under continuously flooded (CF) irrigation, it did not affect CH 4 emissions in systems with intermittent irrigation (II). We estimate that future plant breeding efforts aimed at HI improvement to the theoretical maximum value will reduce CH 4 emissions in CF systems by 4.4%. However, CF systems currently make up only a small fraction of the total rice growing area (i.e., 27% of the Chinese rice paddy area). Thus, to achieve substantial CH 4 mitigation from rice agriculture, alternative plant breeding strategies may be needed, along with alternative management.

Detection and quantification of Aeromonas schubertii in Channa maculata by TaqMan MGB probe fluorescence real‐time quantitative PCR - Chun Liu; Yanming M. Guo; Jizhen Z.

Aeromonas schubertii is a major epidemiological agent that threatens cultured snakeheads ( Channidae ) and has caused great economic losses in fish‐farming industries in China in recent years. In present study, a specific TaqMan minor groove binder ( MGB ) probe fluorescence real‐time quantitative PCR ( qPCR ) assay was developed to rapidly detect and quantify A. schubertii . A pair of qPCR primers and a TaqMan MGB probe were selected from the rpoD gene, which were shown to be specific for A. schubertii . A high correlation coefficient ( R 2 = 0.9998) in a standard curve with a 103% efficiency was obtained. Moreover, the qPCR method's detection limit was as low as 18 copies/μl, which was 100 times more sensitive than that of conventional PCR . The detection results for the A. schubertii in pond water and fish tissue were consistent with those of the viable counts. Bacterial load changes detected by qPCR in different tissues of snakeheads infected with A. schubertii showed that the gills and intestines may be the entry for A. schubertii , and the spleen and kidney are major sites for A. schubertii replication. The established method in present study should be a useful tool for the early surveillance and quantitation of A. schubertii .

Changes in aridity and its driving factors in China during 1961–2016 - Laibao Liu; Yang Wang; Nanshan You; Ze Liang; Dahe Qin; Shuangcheng Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Understanding the changes in aridity is crucial because of the substantial impacts it can have on human society. However, realistic aridity changes and their underlying climatic mechanisms demonstrate large uncertainties in China. Here we adopted the aridity index (AI) to assess the aridity changes in China, and we quantified the relative contributions of various climatic drivers (the precipitation, net radiation, wind speed, relative humidity, and air temperature) to AI changes based on the station data during 1961–2016. Our results showed that the arid/semi‐arid northwest China and Tibet Plateau experienced wetting trends, while western sub‐humid north and northeast China and western humid south China exhibited drying trends during 1961–2016. The dominant climatic drivers involved in the changing AI trends changed from arid to humid regions. In arid northwest China, increasing precipitation and decreasing wind speeds contributed the most to the wetting trends (0.024 and 0.017 in 56 years, respectively). In the semi‐arid Tibet Plateau, increasing precipitation dominated the wetting trends (0.045 in 56 years). However, in sub‐humid/humid north and northeast China and south China, decreasing wind speed and net radiation dominated the annual AI changes (0.061 and 0.092 in 56 years, respectively). In addition, AI of northwest China and the Tibet Plateau exhibited a significant abrupt change in 1987 and exhibited wetter states afterwards, which could be caused by the abrupt increase in precipitation in 1987. This study could improve current understanding of the aridity changes in China and help adapt its potential impacts.

Aeromonas veronii and aerolysin are important for the pathogenesis of motile aeromonad septicemia in cyprinid fish - Chao Ran; Chubin Qin; Mingxu Xie; Jinxiong Zhang; Jie Li; Yadong Xie; Yibing Wang; Shuning Li; Lihui Liu; Xiaozhe Fu; Qiang Lin; Ningqiu Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Aeromonas species are ubiquitous inhabitants of freshwater environments, and are responsible for fish motile aeromonad septicemia (MAS). A. hydrophila is implicated as the primary etiologic agent of MAS. Here, we analysed MAS epidemiological data for cyprinid fish in southern China, and found that A. veronii infections dominated. Consistent with this observation, A. veronii isolates were generally more virulent than A. hydrophila isolates when infecting germ‐free zebrafish larvae via continuous immersion challenge. Through in vivo screening of the transposon library of the A. veronii strain Hm091, aerolysin was identified as the key virulence factor. Further results indicated that A. veronii Hm091 aerolysin disrupts the intestinal barrier of zebrafish, enabling systematic invasion by not only A. veronii Hm091 in a mono‐infection, but also A. hydrophila NJ‐1 in a mixed infection. Moreover, the differences in aerolysin expression and activity were the major contributor to the observed differences between the A. veronii and A. hydrophila strains regarding invasion efficacy via intestine. Together, our results provide new insights into the aetiology and pathogenesis of Aeromonas infections, and highlight the importance of A. veronii ‐targeted treatments in future efforts against MAS.

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.
