Summary Plants harbour highly diverse mycobiomes which sustain essential functions for host health and productivity. However, ecological processes that govern the plant–mycobiome assembly, interactions and their impact on ecosystem functions remain poorly known. Here we characterized the ecological role and community assembly of both abundant and rare fungal taxa along the soil–plant continuums (rhizosphere, phyllosphere and endosphere) in the maize–wheat/barley rotation system under different fertilization practices at two contrasting sites. Our results indicate that mycobiome assembly is shaped predominantly by compartment niche and host species rather than by environmental factors. Moreover, crop‐associated fungal communities are dominated by few abundant taxa mainly belonging to Sordariomycetes and Dothideomycetes, while the majority of diversity within mycobiomes are represented by rare taxa. For plant compartments, the abundant sub‐community is mainly determined by stochastic processes. In contrast, the rare sub‐community is more sensitive to host selection and mainly governed by deterministic processes. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that rare taxa play an important role in fungal co‐occurrence network and ecosystem functioning like crop yield and soil enzyme activities. These results significantly advance our understanding of crop mycobiome assembly and highlight the key role of rare taxa in sustaining the stability of crop mycobiomes and ecosystem functions.

Integrative Transcriptome Sequencing Reveals the Molecular Difference of Maturation Process of Ovary and Testis in Mud Crab Scylla paramamosain - Wenxiao Cui; Qin Yang; Yin Zhang; Ardavan Farhadi; Huan Fang; Huaiping Zheng; Shengkang Li; Yueling Zhang; Mhd Ikhwanuddin; Hongyu Ma (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The mud crab Scylla paramamosain is a species with significant sexual dimorphism in growth rate and body size, of which the females are of higher economic and nutritional values than the males. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to explore the molecular mechanism underlying sex determination and gonadal differentiation. The single-molecule long-read technology combining with RNA sequencing was employed to construct a full-length transcriptome for gonads of S. paramamosain . In total, 1,562,819 FLNC reads were obtained from 1,813,758 reads of inserts (ROIs). Among them, the 10,739 fusion isoforms corresponded to 23,634 reads and were involved in 5,369 genes in the reference annotation. According to the criteria for new transcripts, a total of 213,809 isoforms were recognized as novel transcripts and then matched against Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), NR, Swissprot, and KOG databases. We also identified 22,313 SSRs, 169,559 lncRNAs, and 25,451 SNPs. Additionally, 349,854 alternative splicing (AS) events from 8,430 gene models were detected, and 5,129 polyadenylation sites were profiled from 3,090 genes. GO and KEGG annotation indicated that AS and APA probably play important roles in the gonadal development and maturation. Besides, the DEGs associated with gonadal development and maturation were identified and analyzed based on the RNA-Seq data.

Effects of Symbiodiniaceae Phylotypes in Clades A–E on Progeny Performance of Two Giant Clams (Tridacna squamosa and T. crocea) During Early History Life Stages in the South China Sea - Chao Long; Yuehuan Zhang; Yunqing Li; Jun Li; Zihua Zhou; Yanping Qin; Xingyou Li; Haitao Ma; Jinkuan Wei; Yinyin Zhou; Zohaib Noor; Lijuan Long; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Unlike most bivalves, giant clams (tridacnids) harbor symbiotic microalgae (zooxanthellae) in their other fleshy bodies. The effects of mixed populations of zooxanthellae on larval metamorphosis has been reported in several papers, but there have been very few studies on the effects of single zooxanthella species on the establishment of symbiosis in giant clams. In this study, we obtained five pure zooxanthella species (clades A3, B1, C1, D1, E1) from antler coral by molecular identification, and analyzed their effects on the larval metamorphosis and progeny performance of two giant clams, Tridacna squamosa and T. crocea , in the South China Sea. Clam larvae with all five zooxanthella species underwent larval settlement and metamorphosis, and formed the zooxanthellal tubular system. There was some variation in metamorphic rate and time to metamorphosis between clams with different zooxanthella species, but no significant differences in size at metamorphosis. After metamorphosis, larvae with all zooxanthella types continued to develop normally. Mantle color was consistent within clam species and zooxanthella species had no effect on mantle color. However, clam progeny with clade E1 zooxanthellae were smaller than progeny with the other four zooxanthella clades (A3, B1, C1, and D1). Survival rate was over 90% for all progeny and there were no significant differences in survival between progeny with Symbiodinium clades A–E during the entire culture process. Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed that giant clam species was the main factor influencing progeny growth, with some variation in growth attributable to zooxanthella type. Our results provide new information on both the symbiotic relationship between giant clams and zooxanthellae and the mantle coloration of giant clams, and will be useful in giant clam seed production and aquaculture.

Experimental evidence for long‐term coexistence of copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria in pelagic surface seawater - Yi Li; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Xi‐Ying Zhang; Yan‐Ru Dang; Lin‐Lin Sun; Wei‐Peng Zhang; Hui‐Hui Fu; Gui‐Peng Yang; Min Wang; Andrew McMinn; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yin Chen; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Most marine copiotrophic bacteria can produce extracellular enzymes to degrade biopolymers into bio‐available smaller solutes, while oligotrophic bacteria usually cannot. Bacterial extracellular enzymes and enzymatic products can be a common resource that could be utilized by both copiotrophs and oligotrophs; when present, oligotrophs may outcompete the enzyme‐producing copiotrophs. However, copiotrophs and oligotrophs consistently coexist in the ocean. How they maintain coexistence has still not been experimentally studied. In this study, the interaction and coexistence of a copiotroph and an oligotroph, isolated from the same surface seawater sample and utilizing the same proteinaceous substrate, were experimentally investigated. The copiotroph could secrete extracellular proteases to degrade and then utilize the proteinaceous substrate. The oligotroph was unable to utilize the proteinaceous substrate by itself, but could grow by using the hydrolysate amino acids. The copiotroph outcompeted the oligotroph by adsorbing the amino acids quickly and having a higher growth rate in the rich medium. The oligotroph survived by adapting to low concentration of nutrients. The copiotroph and oligotroph were able to maintain long‐term (up to 142 days) coexistence in the laboratory. This study indicates that differences in the utilization of different concentrations of nutrients can drive the coexistence of marine copiotrophs and oligotrophs.

Anxiolytic Effects of 8-O-Acetyl Shanzhiside Methylester on Acute and Chronic Anxiety via Inflammatory Response Inhibition and Excitatory/Inhibitory Transmission Imbalance - Ting Sun; Li Luo; Qin-Qin Tian; Wen-Ju Wang; Qing-Qing Liu; Le Yang; Kun Zhang; Wei Zhang; Ming-Gao Zhao; Qi Yang (Neurotoxicity Research, 2020)
Anxiety leads to a global decline in quality of life and increase in social burden. However, treatments are limited, because the molecular mechanisms underlying complex emotional disorders are poorly understood. We explored the anxiolytic effects of 8-O-acetyl shanzhiside methylester (8-OaS), an active component in Lamiophlomis rotata ( L . rotata ; Benth.) or Kudo, a traditional herb that has been shown to be effective in the clinical treatment of chronic pain syndromes in China. Two mouse anxiety models were used: forced swimming stress (FSS)–induced anxiety and complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)–induced chronic inflammatory pain. All animal behaviors were analyzed on the elevated plus maze and in the open-field test. 8-OaS significantly ameliorated anxiety-like behaviors in both anxiety models and inhibited the translation enhancement of GluN2A, GluN2B, and PSD95. Moreover, a reduction in GABA receptors disrupted the excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance in the basolateral amygdala (BLA), indicated by increased excitatory and decreased inhibitory presynaptic release. 8-OaS also blocked microglia activation and reduced the phosphorylation of p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), NF-κB p65, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the BLA of anxiety mice. 8-OaS exhibits obvious anxiolytic effects by regulating the excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) synaptic transmission and attenuating inflammatory responses in the BLA.

The changes in ENSO-induced tropical Pacific precipitation variability in the past warm and cold climates from the EC-Earth simulations - Zixuan Han; Qiong Zhang; Qin Wen; Zhengyao Lu; Guolin Feng; Tao Su; Qiang Li; Qiang Zhang (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most significant climate variability signals. Studying the changes in ENSO-induced precipitation variability (ENSO precipitation) in the past climate offers a possibility to a better understanding of how they may change under future climate conditions. This study uses simulations performed with the European community Earth-System Model (EC-Earth) to investigate the relative contributions of dynamic effect (the circulation anomalies together with the climatological specific humidity) and thermodynamic effect (the specific humidity anomalies together with the climatological circulation) on the changes in ENSO precipitation in the past warm and cold climates, represented by the Pliocene and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), respectively. The results show that the changes in ENSO precipitation are intensified (weakened) over the tropical western Pacific but weakened (intensified) over the tropical central Pacific in Pliocene (LGM) compared with the pre-industrial (PI) simulation. Based on the decomposed moisture budget equation, these changes in ENSO precipitation patterns are highly related to the dynamic effect. The mechanism can be understood as follows: the zonal gradient of the mean sea surface temperature (SST) over the tropical Indo-Pacific is increased (reduced) during the Pliocene (LGM), leading to the strengthening (weakening) of Pacific Walker Circulation as well as a westward (eastward) shift. In the Pliocene, the westward shift of Walker Circulation results in an increased (decreased) ENSO-induced low-level vertical velocity variability in the tropical western Pacific (central Pacific), and, in turn, favoring convergent (divergent) moisture transport through a dynamic process, and then causing intensified (weakened) ENSO precipitation there. The opposite mechanism exists in LGM. These results suggest that changes in the zonal SST gradient over tropical Indo-Pacific under different climate conditions determine the changes in ENSO precipitation through a dynamic process.

Plastic pollution in croplands threatens long‐term food security - Dan Zhang; Ee Ling Ng; Wanli Hu; Hongyuan Wang; Pablo Galaviz; Hude Yang; Wentao Sun; Chongxiao Li; Xingwang Ma; Bin Fu; Peiyi Zhao; Fulin Zhang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
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.

Grouper iridovirus causes high mortality rates in cultured groupers, and effective treatment for grouper iridovirus infection is urgently required. Illicium verum Hook. f. is a well‐known medicinal plant with a variety of biological activities. The aim of this study was to analyse the use of I. verum extracts to treat grouper iridovirus infection. The safe working concentration of each I. verum extract was identified both in vitro and in vivo as follows: I. verum aqueous extract (IVAE) ≤ 500 μg/ml; I. verum ethanol extract (IVEE) ≤ 250 μg/ml; shikimic acid (SKA) ≤ 250 μg/ml; trans‐anethole (TAT) ≤ 800 μg/ml; 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid (DDBA) ≤ 400 μg/ml; and quercetin (QCE) ≤ 50 μg/ml. The inhibitory activity of each I. verum extract against grouper iridovirus infection was analysed using aptamer (Q2)‐based fluorescent molecular probe (Q2‐AFMP) and RT‐qPCR. All of the I. verum extracts displayed dose‐dependent antiviral activities against grouper iridovirus. Based on the achieved per cent inhibition, IVAE, IVEE, DDBA and QCE were associated with the greatest antiviral activity (all > 90%). Together, our results indicate that I. verum extracts have effective antiviral properties, making it an excellent potential source material for the development of effective treatment for grouper iridovirus infection.

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.

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.

Summary Viral infection of marine phytoplankton releases a variety of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The impact of viral DOM (vDOM) on the uninfected co‐occurring phytoplankton remains largely unknown. Here, we conducted transcriptomic analyses to study the effects of vDOM on the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus , which is the most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth. Using Prochlorococcus MIT9313, we showed that its growth was not affected by vDOM, but many tRNAs increased in abundance. We tested tRNA‐gly and found that its abundance increased upon addition of glycine. The decreased transcript abundances of N metabolism genes also suggested that Prochlorococcus responded to organic N compounds in vDOM. Addition of vDOM to Prochlorococcus reduced the maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II and CO 2 fixation while increasing its respiration rate, consistent with differentially abundant transcripts related to photosynthesis and respiration. One of the highest positive fold‐changes was observed for the 6S RNA, a noncoding RNA functioning as a global transcriptional regulator in bacteria. The high level of 6S RNA might be responsible for some of the observed transcriptional responses. Taken together, our results revealed the transcriptional regulation of Prochlorococcus in response to viral lysis products and suggested its metabolic potential to utilize organic N compounds.

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.

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 .
