Genetic diversity in early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans: A comparative analysis - Xindong Yao; Jiang-yuan Xu; Zhang-xiong Liu; Martin Pachner; Eva Maria Molin; Leopold Rittler; Volker Hahn; Willmar Leiser; Yong-zhe Gu; Yu-qing Lu; Li-juan Qiu; Johann Vollmann (Euphytica, 2023)
Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a legume crop important for global food security due to supplying high-quality vegetable protein and oil. China is the origin and rich center of soybean genetic diversity represented by numerous landraces and other genetic resources. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, world-wide dissemination of plant introductions laid the foundation of modern soybean production. Due to selection for regional adaptation, present-day elite soybean cultivars do have a comparatively narrow genetic base. However, as genetic variation is the major component of future breeding progress, diversity of early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans was comparatively analyzed using a high-throughput functional SNP array and an SSR marker set. Results revealed a clear differentiation between Chinese and European elite cultivars, and the level of genetic diversity was similar between the two populations. Both in Chinese and European cultivars, unique SSR alleles were found which indicates that selection for specific adaptation can preserve genetic variation. The European population was markedly structured by maturity groups which was less clear in the Chinese population. Structure analysis indicated that European cultivars are based on two major ancestral lines, whereas Chinese elite soybean cultivars trace back to more ancestral lines pointing to the rich natural soybean diversity of China. The results confirm that long-term selection under divergent environmental and agronomic conditions can produce specific diversity which could potentially be utilized for future enhancing both Chinese and European soybean breeding.

Three novel antioxidant peptides isolated from C-phycocyanin against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in zebrafish via Nrf2 signaling pathway - Fenghua Xu; Yun Zhang; Yuezi Qiu; Fanghao Yang; Guoxiang Liu; Xiaolei Dong; Guang Chen; Can Cao; Qian Zhang; Shanshan Zhang; Bing Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Background C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a phycobiliprotein from Spirulina platensis, has been confirmed to be an effective antioxidant. Duing to the large molecular weight protein, C-PC is hardly absorbed in the human gut and easy coagulates into lumps. In light of this, highly pure, easy absorption, and small molecular weight polypeptides has won the attention in the recent past. However, there are few studies on the C-PC bioactive peptides. Thus, the objective of this study was find natural multifunctional antioxidant peptides from C-PC and demonstrate their mechanisms. Method In this study, novel antioxidant peptides from pancreatin hydrolysate of C-PC were isolated and purified by using a multi-bioassay-guided method. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging in vitro and antioxidant zebrafish model in vivo were used to evaluate the antioxidant activities. Furthermore, the underlying molecular mechanisms of these peptides were investigated by measuring the level of ROS, MDA, SOD, CAT and gene expression in Nrf2 signaling pathway. Results Total three novel active peptides, MHLWAAK (Met-His-Leu-Trp-Ala-Ala-Lys), MAQAAEYYR (Met-Ala-Gln-Ala-Ala-Glu-Tyr-Tyr-Arg), and MDYYFEER (Met-ASP-Tyr-Tyr-Phe-Glu-Glu-Arg) were isolated and purified from pancreatin hydrolysate of C-PC. These synthesized peptides displayed high DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging ability. In addition, in a zebrafish model, the three peptides significantly protected zebrafish embryos from H2O2-induced oxidative injury without toxicity by inhibiting ROS generation, preventing MDA formation, and upregulating the activities of SOD and CAT. Further experiments showed that these peptides could significantly regulated oxidative stress via activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Conclusion This study indicates that the antioxidant peptides from C-PC could serve as powerful antioxidants for preventing and treating various diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Effects of the neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) on the early embryonic development of marine shellfish and fish - Yilei Fu; Aifeng Li; Jiangbing Qiu; Wenhui Yan; Chen Yan; Lei Zhang; Min Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The neurotoxin β - N -methylamino- L -alanine (BMAA) produced by cyanobacteria and diatoms can accumulate in diverse aquatic organisms through the food web. In the present study, embryos of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819), oyster Magallana gigas (Thunberg, 1793), and marine medaka Oryzias melastigma (McClelland, 1839) were exposed to BMAA dissolved in seawater and monitored for early developmental effects. Results demonstrated that the embryonic development of mussels and oysters were significantly inhibited when BMAA concentrations were above 100 μg BMAA·HCl/L (0.65 µM) and 800 μg BMAA·HCl/L (5.18 µM), respectively. The shell growth of mussel embryos was also markedly inhibited by BMAA ≥ 100 μg BMAA·HCl/L (0.65 µM). Based on the dose-response curves related to the modified malformation rate of embryos, the median effective concentration (EC 50 ) values of mussel (48 h) and oyster (24 h) embryos were 196 μg BMAA·HCl/L (1.27 µM) and 1660 μg BMAA·HCl/L (10.7 μM), respectively. A sustained and dose-dependent decrease in heart rate was apparent in marine medaka embryos at 9-days post fertilization following BMAA exposure. However, no obvious effect on ATP concentration was noted in these marine medaka embryos. The current study contributes to our understanding of the sublethal effects of BMAA on the early embryonic development of marine bivalves and medaka. Further research examining the long-term effects of BMAA on the early development of marine organisms is necessary to determine seawater quality criteria for protection.

With the rapid modernization of methods for monitoring fishing vessels, different ways of obtaining data on large-size light falling-net vessels have developed. In particular, the vessel monitoring system (VMS) may be used to track fishing activities in the South China Sea (SCS). In this study, we used VMS data to show the characterize and differences in the information transmitted when monitoring large-size falling-net fishing vessels, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. We investigated the spatial distribution of large-size light falling-net fisheries in the SCS using Beidou VMS data from 2017 to 2020. We also compared trajectories of fishing vessels from various provinces. According to these data, vessels operate in the Nansha Islands and the waters of the Pearl River Estuary, Beibu Gulf, Zhongsha, and Xisha Islands, and there is a clear seasonal pattern of fishing in the SCS. There are the differences of vessels in terms of distribution areas and ports of entry and exit. Additionally, we found the operation area of the large-size falling-net fishing vessels divided into four main fishing zones. The analysis compares the number of days of operation in the different fishing areas as well as seasonal variations. Our study shows that the operating area of large-size light falling-net vessels has extended southwards and that the number of days for which fishing vessels operate has increased compared with the last decade. Using the Beidou VMS to study the large-size light falling-net vessels in the SCS can provide more detailed scientific reference data for the SCS fisheries.

Effects of ocean warming and fishing on the coral reef ecosystem: A case study of Xisha Islands, South China Sea - Xinyan Zhang; Yuanchao Li; Jianguo Du; Shuting Qiu; Bin Xie; Weilin Chen; Jianjia Wang; Wenjia Hu; Zhongjie Wu; Bin Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Global change has generated challenges for oceans, from individuals to the entire ecosystem, and has raised contemporary issues related to ocean conservation and management. Specifically, coral reef ecosystems have been exposed to various environmental and human disturbances. In this study, the Ecopath with Ecosim model was used to explore the impacts of ocean warming and fishing on Xisha Islands coral reef ecosystem in the South China Sea. The variables in this model included two ocean warming scenarios and three fishing scenarios. The model consisted of 23 functional groups including algae, coral, sea birds, and sharks. Our results showed that by the middle of the century, ocean warming and fishing led to a 3.79% and 4.74% decrease in total catch compared with 2009, respectively. In addition, the combined effects of ocean warming and fishing caused a 4.79% decrease in total catch, and the mean trophic level of catch was predicted to decrease by 6.01% under the SSP585-High fishing scenario. Reducing the fishing effort mitigates the effects of ocean warming on some species, such as large carnivorous fish and medium carnivorous fish; however, under low fishing effort, some functional groups, such as small carnivorous and omnivorous fish, have low biomass because of higher predation mortality.

The DRD2 Taq1A polymorphism moderates the effect of PTSD symptom severity on the left hippocampal CA3 volume: a pilot study - Minlan Yuan; Hongru Zhu; Yuchen Li; Fenfen Ge; Su Lui; Qiyong Gong; Changjian Qiu; Huan Song; Wei Zhang (Psychopharmacology, 2022)
Rationale and objectives The hippocampus, especially the CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus (DG) subfields, is reported to be associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma. However, neuroimaging studies of the associations between PTSD and hippocampal subfield volumes have failed to yield consistent findings. The aim of this study is to examine whether the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) Taq1A polymorphism, which is associated with both hippocampal function and PTSD, moderated the association between PTSD severity and hippocampal CA1, CA3 and DG volumes. Methods T1-weighted images were acquired from 142 trauma survivors from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake using a 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging system. Hippocampal subfield segmentations were performed with FreeSurfer v6.0. We used the simple moderation model from the PROCESS v3.4 tool for SPSS 23.0 to examine the association between the rs1800497 polymorphism, PTSD severity, and hippocampal CA3 and DG volumes. Results A significant genotype × PTSD symptom severity interaction was found for the left CA3 volume (Δ F = 5.01, p = 0.008, Δ R 2 = 0.05). Post hoc, exploratory analyses deconstructing the interaction revealed that severe PTSD symptomatology were associated with reduced left CA3 volume among TC heterozygotes ( t = − 2.86, p = 0.005). Conclusions This study suggests that DRD2 Taq1A polymorphism moderates the association between PTSD symptomatology and left CA3 volume, which promotes an etiological understanding of the hippocampal atrophy at the subfield level. This highlights the complex effect of environmental stress, and provides possible mechanism for the relationship between the dopaminergic system and hippocampal function in PTSD.

Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an essential role in biological processes. However, the expression patterns of lncRNAs that regulate the non-Mendelian inheritance feather phenotypes remain unknown. Objective This study aimed to compare the expression profiles of lncRNAs in the follicles of the late-feathering cocks (LC) and late-feathering hens (LH) that followed genetic rules and the early-feathering hen (EH) and early-feathering cock (EC) that did not conform to the genetic laws. Methods We performed RNA sequencing and investigated the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) between the early- and late-feathering chickens, which function by cis-acting or participate in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Results A total of 53 upregulated and 43 downregulated lncRNAs were identified in EC vs. LC, and 58 upregulated and 109 downregulated lncRNAs were identified in EH vs. LH. The target mRNAs regulated by lncRNAs in cis were enriched in the pentose phosphate pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway and Jak-STAT signaling pathway in EC vs. LC and were associated with the TGF-β signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway and Jak-STAT signaling pathway in EH vs. LH. In addition, the lncRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory pathways of hair follicle formation were mainly enriched in the TGF-β signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, melanogenesis, and calcium signaling pathways. The levels of ENSGALG00000047626 were significantly higher in the late-feathering chickens than in the early-feathering chickens, which regulated the expression of SSTR2 by gga-miR-1649-5p. Conclusion This study provides a novel molecular mechanism of lncRNA’s response to the feather rate that does not conform to the genetic laws in chickens.

Six Novel Hybrid Extreme Learning Machine–Swarm Intelligence Optimization (ELM–SIO) Models for Predicting Backbreak in Open-Pit Blasting - Chuanqi Li; Jian Zhou; Manoj Khandelwal; Xiliang Zhang; Masoud Monjezi; Yingui Qiu (Natural Resources Research, 2022)
Backbreak (BB) is one of the serious adverse blasting consequences in open-pit mines, because it frequently reduces economic benefits and seriously affects the safety of mines. Therefore, rapid and accurate prediction of BB is of great significance to mine blasting design and other production activities. For this purpose, six different swarm intelligence optimization (SIO) algorithms were proposed to optimize the extreme learning machine (ELM) model for BB prediction, i.e., ELM-based particle swarm optimization (ELM–PSO), ELM-based fruit fly optimization (ELM–FOA), ELM-based whale optimization algorithm (ELM–WOA), ELM-based lion swarm optimization (ELM–LOA), ELM-based seagull optimization algorithm (ELM–SOA) and ELM-based sparrow search algorithm (ELM–SSA). In total, 234 data records from blasting operations in the Sungun mine in Iran were used in this study, including six input parameters (special drilling, spacing, burden, hole length, stemming, powder factor) and one output parameter (i.e., BB). To evaluate the predictive performance of the different optimization models and initial models, six performance indicators including the root mean square error (RMSE), Pearson correlation coefficient (R), determination coefficient (R 2 ), variance accounted for (VAF), mean absolute error (MAE) and sum of square error (SSE) were used to evaluate the models in the training and testing phases. The results show that the ELM–LSO was the best model to predict BB with RMSE of 0.1129 ( R : 0.9991, R 2 : 0.9981, VAF: 99.8135%, MAE: 0.0706 and SSE: 2.0917) in the training phase and 0.2441 in the testing phase ( R : 0.9949, R 2 : 0.9891, VAF: 98.9806%, MAE: 0.1669 and SSE: 4.1710). Hence, ELM techniques combined with SIO algorithms are an effective method to predict BB.

Functional analysis, diversity, and distribution of carbendazim hydrolases MheI and CbmA , responsible for the initial step in carbendazim degradation - Mingliang Zhang; Xuekun Bai; Qian Li; Lu Zhang; Qian Zhu; Siyuan Gao; Zhijian Ke; Mingli Jiang; Junqiang Hu; Jiguo Qiu; Qing Hong (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Strains Rhodococcus qingshengii djl‐6 and Rhodococcus jialingiae djl‐6‐2 both harbour the typical carbendazim degradation pathway with the hydrolysis of carbendazim to 2‐aminobenzimidazole (2‐AB) as the initial step. However, the enzymes involved in this process are still unknown. In this study, the previous reported carbendazim hydrolase MheI was found in strain djl‐6, but not in strain djl‐6‐2, then another carbendazim hydrolase CbmA was obtained by a four‐step purification strategy from strain djl‐6‐2. CbmA was classified as a member of the amidase signature superfamily with conserved catalytic site residues Ser157, Ser181, and Lys82, while MheI was classified as a member of the Abhydrolase superfamily with conserved catalytic site residues Ser77 and His224. The catalytic efficiency ( k cat / K m ) of MheI (24.0–27.9 μM −1 min −1 ) was 200 times more than that of CbmA (0.032–0.21 μM −1 min −1 ). The mheI gene (plasmid encoded) was highly conserved (>99% identity) in the strains from different bacterial genera and its plasmid encoded flanked by mobile genetic elements. The cmbA gene was highly conserved only in strains of the genus Rhodococcus and it was chromosomally encoded. Overall, the function, diversity, and distribution of carbendazim hydrolases MheI and CbmA will provide insights into the microbial degradation of carbendazim.

Abrupt fluctuations in North Pacific Intermediate Water modulated changes in deglacial atmospheric CO2 - Yanguang Liu; Yue Qiu; Dongling Li; Antonina V. Artemova; Yuying Zhang; Aleksandr A. Bosin; Sergey A. Gorbarenko; Qingsong Liu; Debo Zhao; Longbin Sha; Yi Zhong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
As a major reservoir of heat and CO 2 , the Pacific Ocean is an important component of the global climate system, but the nature of its circulation under different climatic conditions remains poorly understood. We present sedimentary records of surface water hydrography and nutrient dynamics from the subarctic Pacific Ocean, with the aim of investigating changes in sea-ice coverage, biological productivity, and sea surface temperature in the subarctic Northwest Pacific since 32 kyr. Our records indicate an enhanced North Pacific surface water stratification from the last glacial to Heinrich Stadial 1, which generally limited the siliceous productivity supply to the surface water. A productivity peak during the Bølling/Allerød warm interval was associated with an increase in the atmospheric p CO 2 , and it was driven by the increased supply of nutrient- and CO 2 -rich waters. This process can be attributed to the collapse of the North Pacific Intermediate Water formation at the onset of the Bølling/Allerød interstadial. Moreover, a northward shift of the westerly winds and the gyre boundary could have modulated the expansion of the subpolar gyre, driving changes in poleward heat transport, biogeochemistry, and the hydroclimate of the North Pacific. Our results are consistent with modern evidence for a northward shift of the westerlies in response to global warming, which will likely result in CO 2 outgassing from the subarctic Pacific Ocean in the future.

A Realistic and Integrated Model for Evaluating Offshore Oil Development - Rui Qiu; Zhuochao Li; Qin Zhang; Xin Yao; Shuyi Xie; Qi Liao; Bohong Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
With the rising consumption of oil resources, major oil companies around the world have increasingly engaged in offshore oil exploration and development, and offshore oil resources have accounted for an increasing proportion. Offshore oil engineering projects are capital intensive, and the development of offshore oil fields faces a tough battle, especially in a period of low oil prices. Thus, a comprehensive evaluation model is highly needed to help assess economic benefits and provide meaningful and valuable information for operators and investors to make sensible decisions. This study firstly proposed a realistic and integrated evaluation model for offshore oil development based on actual historical project data. This evaluation model incorporated modules from the underwater system to the platform system and processes from oil reservoir extraction to oil, gas and water treatment. The uncertain parameters in the evaluation process are dealt with by sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed model is applied to a typical offshore oil development project in Bohai Bay, China. The results reveal that the recovery factor and oil price have the greatest impact on the economic benefits. In the case of deterministic analysis, the breakeven oil price of the project is 40.59 USD/bbl. After considering the uncertainty of project parameters, the higher the oil price, the greater the probability of NPV > 0. When the oil price is higher than 70 USD/bbl, even with uncertain project parameters, the probability of NPV > 0 can still be as high as 97.39%.

Slope Undercurrent in the Northwestern South China Sea Beneath the Winter Western Boundary Current - Junqiang Shen; Wendong Fang; Li Li; Yun Qiu; Zheng Xiao; Junpeng Zhang; Xiaogang Guo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
We herein report the observation of a slope undercurrent beneath the winter western boundary current of the northwestern South China Sea (SCS), and its spatiotemporal variation. The possible underlying dynamics are also discussed. In situ observations reveal that the northeastward undercurrent is located above the upper slope with a core velocity exceeding 20 cm/s, which extends from 200 m to 800 m in depth with a width of 30–50 km and an along-slope length of approximately 200 km in deep winter of 2006-2007, and is characterized with interseasonal and interannual variabilities. The existence of this undercurrent is also supported by Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) results. We find that the slope undercurrent is probably driven by the along-slope pressure gradient associated with the sea level set-up off the continental slope of south Hainan Island and modulated by mesoscale eddies and Rossby waves. This study will renew our knowledge of the deep slope currents in the northwestern SCS.

High‐resolution mapping of the global silicate weathering carbon sink and its long‐term changes - Chaojun Li; Xiaoyong Bai; Qiu Tan; Guangjie Luo; Luhua Wu; Fei Chen; Huipeng Xi; Xuling Luo; Chen Ran; Huan Chen; Sirui Zhang; Min Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Climatic and non‐climatic factors affect the chemical weathering of silicate rocks, which in turn affects the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere on a long‐term scale. However, the coupling effects of these factors prevent us from clearly understanding of the global weathering carbon sink of silicate rocks. Here, using the improved first‐order model with correlated factors and non‐parametric methods, we produced spatiotemporal data sets (0.25° × 0.25°) of the global silicate weathering carbon‐sink flux (SCSF α ) under different scenarios (SSPs) in present (1950–2014) and future (2015–2100) periods based on the Global River Chemistry Database and CMIP6 data sets. Then, we analyzed and identified the key regions in space where climatic and non‐climatic factors affect the SCSF α . We found that the total SCSF α was 155.80 ± 90 Tg C yr −1 in present period, which was expected to increase by 18.90 ± 11 Tg C yr −1 (12.13%) by the end of this century. Although the SCSF α in more than half of the world was showing an upward trend, about 43% of the regions were still showing a clear downward trend, especially under the SSP2‐4.5 scenario. Among the main factors related to this, the relative contribution rate of runoff to the global SCSF α was close to 1/3 (32.11%), and the main control regions of runoff and precipitation factors in space accounted for about 49% of the area. There was a significant negative partial correlation between leaf area index and silicate weathering carbon sink flux due to the difference between the vegetation types. We have emphasized quantitative analysis the sensitivity of SCSF α to critical factors on a spatial grid scale, which is valuable for understanding the role of silicate chemical weathering in the global carbon cycle.

Long-Term Change of a Fish-Based Index of Biotic Integrity for a Semi-Enclosed Bay in the Beibu Gulf - Li Su; Youwei Xu; Yongsong Qiu; Mingshuai Sun; Kui Zhang; Zuozhi Chen (Fishes, 2022)
The Beibu Gulf in the northwestern South China Sea is one of the world’s most productive fishing grounds, yet its biotic resources appear to be in rapid decline because of overexploitation. Assessments of the health status of the fisheries’ resources in the gulf provide a foundation for their conservation and management. As fish accounted for 84% to 97% of the total catch in the Beibu Gulf in the period 1962–2017, a Fish-based Index of Biotic Integrity (F-IBI) was developed for the Beibu Gulf, and data from otter trawl surveys during the period 1962–2017 were used to measure variations in the fish community. The assessment revealed a generally downward trend in total fish catch density (kg/km2), catch density of 12 traditional commercial demersal fish species, and percentage of nektonic-feeding species, but an upward trend for the percentage of fishes with a planktivorous or detritus diet, percentage of pelagic species, and percentage of the dominant species. The dominant species varied greatly over the 50 year period and showed a tendency towards small-sized species. The synthetic F-IBI variable showed a downward trend and has indicated a ‘fair’ state since 1998. The decline in the F-IBI over the last three decades suggests that anthropogenic disturbances, especially overfishing, have had a serious impact on the fish community of the Beibu Gulf. The F-IBI is currently at risk of becoming ‘poor.’ Consequently, we suggest that rigid and enforceable fishery management measures should be taken by both China and Vietnam to prevent further deterioration of the fisheries’ resources in the gulf.

Tea Polyphenols Improve Down-Regulation of Mitochondrial Functional Gene Expression Induced by Bisphenol A in Zebrafish Ovaries - Xiaoxin Dai; Lijun Qiu; Han Zhang; Chunying Xu; Bo Zhao; Yang Gao; Haidong Li; Yi Mu; Zhangjie Chu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The plasticizer bisphenol A, a typical endocrine disrupting chemical, is widely present in the environment. Previous studies demonstrated that exposure to bisphenol A can cause reproductive toxicity, abnormal fertilization, and infertility. However, the mechanisms of low-concentration bisphenol A on the reproductive system and treatment measures have not been fully determined. In this study, we explored the transcriptomic profiles of female zebrafish ovaries. The transcriptomic data revealed that mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase (mt-Nd) genes were significantly decreased in the bisphenol A-exposed group, while the co-administration of tea polyphenols remarkably elevated the expression of mt-Nd genes. To further explore the expression pattern of the mt-Nd, we analyzed the expression of six mt-Nd genes on different days by qRT-PCR in control, bisphenol A-exposed, and bisphenol A-tea polyphenols ovaries. Here, we found that 0.1 mg/L bisphenol A exposure adversely affects the mitochondrial respiratory chain in ovaries and may lead to reproductive disorders. Finally, our study demonstrated that tea polyphenols play a protective role in ovarian mitochondrial dysfunction in low-concentration bisphenol A-exposed female zebrafish.

Phenotypic plasticity of light use favors a plant invader in nitrogen‐enriched ecosystems - Xiao Xu; Chenhao Zhou; Qiang He; Shiyun Qiu; Yan Zhang; Ji Yang; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Ecology, 2022)
Eutrophication is believed to promote plant invasion, resulting in high growth performances of invasive plants and, therefore, the great potential for growth‐induced intraspecific competition for light. Current hypotheses predict how eutrophication promotes plant invasion but fail to explain how great invasiveness is maintained under eutrophic conditions. In diverse native communities, co‐occurring plants of varying sizes can avoid light competition by exploiting light complementarily; however, whether this mechanism applies to intraspecific competition in invasive plant populations remains unknown. Using a 2‐year field nitrogen (N)‐enrichment experiment on one of the global invasive plants, Spartina alterniflora , we found that the plasticity of light use reduced intraspecific competition and increased biomass production in S. alterniflora . This plasticity effect was enhanced when S. alterniflora had no nutrient limitations. In the N‐enrichment treatments, the height difference among S. alterniflora ramets increased as light intensity decreased under the canopy. Compared with ambient N, under N enrichment, shorter individuals increased their light‐use efficiency and specific leaf area in response to the reduced light intensity under the canopy. However, such ecophysiological plasticity was not found for taller individuals. Our findings revealed that the light‐use plasticity of short individuals can be envisaged as a novel mechanism by which an invasive plant alleviates intraspecific competition and increases its invasiveness, challenging the prevailing perspective that the invasiveness of exotic plants is constrained by intraspecific competition.

Dissection of the practical soybean breeding pipeline by developing ZDX1, a high-throughput functional array - Rujian Sun; Bincheng Sun; Yu Tian; Shanshan Su; Yong Zhang; Wanhai Zhang; Jingshun Wang; Ping Yu; Bingfu Guo; Huihui Li; Yanfei Li; Huawei Gao; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message We developed the ZDX1 high-throughput functional soybean array for high accuracy evaluation and selection of both parents and progeny, which can greatly accelerate soybean breeding. Abstract Microarray technology facilitates rapid, accurate, and economical genotyping. Here, using resequencing data from 2214 representative soybean accessions, we developed the high-throughput functional array ZDX1, containing 158,959 SNPs, covering 90.92% of soybean genes and sites related to important traits. By application of the array, a total of 817 accessions were genotyped, including three subpopulations of candidate parental lines, parental lines and their progeny from practical breeding. The fixed SNPs were identified in progeny, indicating artificial selection during the breeding process. By identifying functional sites of target traits, novel soybean cyst nematode-resistant progeny and maturity-related novel sources were identified by allele combinations, demonstrating that functional sites provide an efficient method for the rapid screening of desirable traits or gene sources. Notably, we found that the breeding index (BI) was a good indicator for progeny selection. Superior progeny were derived from the combination of distantly related parents, with at least one parent having a higher BI. Furthermore, new combinations based on good performance were proposed for further breeding after excluding redundant and closely related parents. Genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) analysis was the best analysis method and achieved the highest accuracy in predicting four traits when comparing SNPs in genic regions rather than whole genomic or intergenic SNPs. The prediction accuracy was improved by 32.1% by using progeny to expand the training population. Collectively, a versatile assay demonstrated that the functional ZDX1 array provided efficient information for the design and optimization of a breeding pipeline for accelerated soybean breeding.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex Mediates Hyperalgesia and Anxiety Induced by Chronic Pancreatitis in Rats - Dan Ren; Jia-Ni Li; Xin-Tong Qiu; Fa-Ping Wan; Zhen-Yu Wu; Bo-Yuan Fan; Ming-Ming Zhang; Tao Chen; Hui Li; Yang Bai; Yun-Qing Li (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Central sensitization is essential in maintaining chronic pain induced by chronic pancreatitis (CP), but cortical modulation of painful CP remains elusive. Here, we examined the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the pathogenesis of abdominal hyperalgesia in a rat model of CP induced by intraductal administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). TNBS treatment resulted in long-term abdominal hyperalgesia and anxiety in rats. Morphological data indicated that painful CP induced a significant increase in FOS-expressing neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and ACC, and some FOS-expressing neurons in the NTS projected to the ACC. In addition, a larger portion of ascending fibers from the NTS innervated pyramidal neurons, the neural subpopulation primarily expressing FOS under the condition of painful CP, rather than GABAergic neurons within the ACC. CP rats showed increased expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 1, and increased membrane trafficking and phosphorylation of the N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit NR2B and the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit GluR1 within the ACC. Microinjection of NMDAR and AMPAR antagonists into the ACC to block excitatory synaptic transmission significantly attenuated abdominal hyperalgesia in CP rats, which was similar to the analgesic effect of endomorphins injected into the ACC. Specifically inhibiting the excitability of ACC pyramidal cells via chemogenetics reduced both hyperalgesia and comorbid anxiety, whereas activating these neurons via optogenetics failed to aggravate hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats. Taken together, these findings provide neurocircuit, biochemical, and behavioral evidence for involvement of the ACC in hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats, as well as novel insights into the cortical modulation of painful CP, and highlights the ACC as a potential target for neuromodulatory interventions in the treatment of painful CP.

Intelligent prediction of coal mine water inrush based on optimized SAPSO-ELM model under the influence of multiple factors - Yong-gang Zhang; Yuan-lun Xie; Li-ning Yang; Rao-ping Liao; Tao Qiu (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2022)
Mine water inrush is affected by many factors such as geological structure and fracture zone. However, there may be overlap among these factors, leading to uncertainty, fuzzy similarity and nonlinear relationship among most of them. Therefore, the traditional mathematical model is not ideal to predict water inrush. This paper proposes an intelligent model for predicting water inrush from coal floor based on simulated annealing particle swarm optimization-extreme learning machine (SAPSO-ELM). Based on 144 groups of learning data and 36 groups of predictive validation data, the proposed model extracted common factors from 14 geological factors that might be related to water inrush in a mining area, so as to reduce information interaction among discriminant indexes. In this paper, simulated annealing particle swarm optimization (SAPSO) is innovatively used to optimize the model parameters and compared with other intelligent models (SVM, BPNN, PSO-ELM and ELM) for the learning prediction of the same data. The results show that the common factors extracted from the original variables contain most of the comprehensive information and can reduce information redundancy. Compared with traditional intelligent models (SVM, BPNN, PSO-ELM and ELM), the proposed model improves the computational efficiency of convergence, and the prediction accuracy is higher. It is proved that SAPSO-ELM intelligent algorithm is indeed scientific and has broad application prospect in result prediction induced by complex multi-factors.

Oxidation of organoarsenicals and antimonite by a novel flavin monooxygenase widely present in soil bacteria - Jun Zhang; Jian Chen; Yi‐Fei Wu; Zi‐Ping Wang; Ji‐Guo Qiu; Xiao‐Long Li; Feng Cai; Ke‐Qing Xiao; Xiao‐Xu Sun; Barry P. Rosen; Fang‐Jie Zhao (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Arsenic can be biomethylated to form a variety of organic arsenicals differing in toxicity and environmental mobility. Trivalent methylarsenite (MAs(III)) produced in the methylation process is more toxic than inorganic arsenite (As(III)). MAs(III) also serves as a primitive antibiotic and, consequently, some environmental microorganisms have evolved mechanisms to detoxify MAs(III). However, the mechanisms of MAs(III) detoxification are not well understood. In this study, we identified an arsenic resistance ( ars ) operon consisting of three genes, arsRVK , that contribute to MAs(III) resistance in Ensifer adhaerens ST2. ArsV is annotated as an NADPH‐dependent flavin monooxygenase with unknown function. Expression of arsV in the arsenic hypersensitive Escherichia coli strain AW3110 Δars conferred resistance to MAs(III) and the ability to oxidize MAs(III) to MAs(V). In the presence of NADPH and either FAD or FMN, purified ArsV protein was able to oxidize both MAs(III) to MAs(V) and Sb(III) to Sb(V). Genes with arsV ‐like sequences are widely present in soils and environmental bacteria. Metagenomic analysis of five paddy soils showed the abundance of arsV ‐like sequences of 0.12–0.25 ppm. These results demonstrate that ArsV is a novel enzyme for the detoxification of MAs(III) and Sb(III) and the genes encoding ArsV are widely present in soil bacteria.

Responses of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa under Pb( II ) stress: carotenoid production and budding - Zhijun Wang; Ying Zhang; Liu Jiang; Jingjing Qiu; Yanan Gao; Tingting Gu; Zhen Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Rhodotorula mucilaginosa resists heavy metal (HM) stress because of its abundant extracellular polymeric substances and functional vesicles. In this study, we provided new insights into its survival strategies at both biochemical and genetic levels. After lead exposure, carotenoid biosynthesis was initiated within 24 h incubation and then increased to the maximum after 96 h of incubation. Raman analysis confirmed that carotenoids (primarily β‐carotene) were the major identifiable chemical substances on the cell surface. Moreover, the increased carotenoid production was accompanied by a rising budding rate, ~40% higher than that in the cultures without Pb. During the 96 h of incubation, the driving force for Pb accumulation was assigned to this elevated budding rate. After 96 h, biosorption was primarily attributed to the enhanced antioxidant ability of the single cells during carotenoid production. Furthermore, the yeast budding cells demonstrated an evidently heterogeneous biosorption of Pb, i.e., the rejuvenated daughters had a relatively lower Pb level than the mother cells. This resulted in the protection of the buds from Pb stress. After investigating phosphorus uptake and the RNA sequencing data, we finally confirmed two tightly correlated pathways that resist HM stress, i.e., biochemical (carotenoid production) and reproductive (healthy buds) pathways.

Responses of soil pH to no‐till and the factors affecting it: A global meta‐analysis - Xin Zhao; Cong He; Wen‐Sheng Liu; Wen‐Xuan Liu; Qiu‐Yue Liu; Wei Bai; Li‐Jun Li; Rattan Lal; Hai‐Lin Zhang (Global Change Biology, 2022)
No‐till (NT) is a sustainable option because of its benefits in controlling erosion, saving labor, and mitigating climate change. However, a comprehensive assessment of soil pH response to NT is still lacking. Thus, a global meta‐analysis was conducted to determine the effects of NT on soil pH and to identify the influential factors and possible consequences based on the analysis of 114 publications. When comparing tillage practices, the results indicated an overall significant decrease by 1.33 ± 0.28% in soil pH under NT than that under conventional tillage ( p −1 (−1.83%), or crop residue retention (−1.52%). Changes in organic matter decomposition under undisturbed soil and with crop residue retention might lead to a higher concentration of H + and lower of basic cations (i.e., calcium, magnesium, and potassium), which decrease the soil pH, and consequently, impact nutrient dynamics (i.e., soil phosphorus) in the surface layer under NT. Furthermore, soil acidification may be aggravated by NT within site‐specific conditions and improper fertilizer and crop residue management and consequently leading to adverse effects on soil nutrient availability. Thus, there is a need to identify strategies to ameliorate soil acidification under NT to minimize the adverse consequences.

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Participates in the Adult-Phase Adventitious Rooting Recalcitrance - Xu Li; Xiaozhao Xu; Fei Shen; Wei Li; Changpeng Qiu; Ting Wu; Yi Wang; Xuefeng Xu; Zhenhai Han; Xinzhong Zhang (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2021)
In many tree species especially the rooting-recalcitrant woody perennials, the adventitious root (AR) in the juvenile phase can be easily induced by exogenous auxin, but AR formation becomes recalcitrant in the adult phase. Also, it is reported that the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibits primary root growth in Arabidopsis and the AR formation in poplar ( Populus ssp). So far, how GABA affects or is affected by the ontogenetic phase or auxin remains unclear. Here, we used an apple rootstock, Malus xiaojinensis, and tobacco ( Nicotiana benthamiana ) to investigate this question. We first analyzed the content of GABA, the activity of GABA synthetic enzyme GAD, and the expression of the coding gene MxGADs, respectively, in leafy cuttings of juvenile and adult phase. Next, the effect of exogenous GABA on AR formation was examined in in vitro shoots of M. xiaojinensis and tobacco. Interestingly, significant and consistent increases in GABA concentration, GAD activity, and expression of MxGAD genes in response to exogenous indole butyric acid (IBA) were detected in adult-phase cuttings, but not in juvenile-phase cuttings. Exogenous GABA application inhibited the AR formation by delaying rooting time and reducing root number and the total root length in in vitro shoots of both M. xiaojinensis and tobacco. The expression of MxPIN members increased in response to IBA application, but these changes were restrained by the addition of GABA. These results indicate that both the loss of juvenility and IBA are required to trigger GABA accumulation. GABA may affect the AR formation as a co-actor by inhibiting polar auxin transport. Together, these findings facilitate the understanding of the regulatory network among GABA, juvenility, and auxin signaling on the AR formation.

Length-Based Assessment of Fish Stocks in a Data-Poor, Jointly Exploited (China and Vietnam) Fishing Ground, Northern South China Sea - Kui Zhang; Jiajun Li; Gang Hou; Zirong Huang; Dengfu Shi; Zuozhi Chen; Yongsong Qiu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The Beibu Gulf is one of the most important fishing grounds in the South China Sea (SCS), and the fisheries resources in this area are exploited by both China and Vietnam. In recent decades, some indications of overfishing have appeared, including declining catch rates, frequently changing catch composition, and shrinking body sizes in main commercial fish species. Due to limited data availability, only a small subset of exploited fish stocks in this area has been assessed. Here, we applied two length-based methods, electronic length frequency analysis (ELEFAN) and length-based Bayesian biomass estimation (LBB), to stock assessment of nine exploited fish species in the Beibu Gulf. There were total 53, 652 length records of 30 target stocks used in this study during the survey period from 1960 to 2015. The results showed that the two length-based methods presented different ability in estimating exploitation rate ( E ), and the estimated E ranged from 0.34 to 0.87 using ELEFAN method while ranged from 0.26 to 0.86 using LBB method. The prior information from ELEFAN method was effective for LBB method, as there were significant differences in 66.7% of the 30 target stocks in estimated L inf , and 93.3% in estimated B / B MSY , using LBB method with and without prior information. The estimated L c / L c_opt and B / B MSY of LBB method suggest a pressing situation for the fisheries in the Beibu Gulf, as 86.7% of the 30 target stocks had been suffering from growth overfishing ( L c / L c_opt < 1), and 83.3% had been overexploited or fully exploited ( B / B MSY ≤ 1.2). In addition, we suggest using both ELEFAN and LBB methods to fit length-frequency data of data-poor fish stocks because they are complementary in estimating management reference points. We also emphasize collaboration mechanism should be established by China and Vietnam for the sustainability and recovery of fishery resources in the Beibu Gulf.

Kidney disease is manifested in a wide variety of phenotypes, many of which have an important hereditary component. To delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pediatric nephropathy, a multicenter registration system is being implemented based on the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (CCGKDD). In this study, all the patients with kidney and urological diseases were recruited from 2014 to 2020. Genetic analysis was conducted using exome sequencing for families with multiple affected individuals with nephropathy or clinical suspicion of a genetic kidney disease owing to early-onset or extrarenal features. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 883 of 2256 (39.1%) patients from 23 provinces in China. Phenotypic profiles showed that the primary diagnosis included steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS, 23.5%), glomerulonephritis (GN, 32.2%), congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT, 21.2%), cystic renal disease (3.9%), renal calcinosis/stone (3.6%), tubulopathy (9.7%), and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu, 5.8%). The pathogenic variants of 105 monogenetic disorders were identified. Ten distinct genomic disorders were identified as pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs) in 11 patients. The diagnostic yield differed by subgroups, and was highest in those with cystic renal disease (66.3%), followed by tubulopathy (58.4%), GN (57.7%), CKDu (43.5%), SRNS (29.2%), renal calcinosis /stone (29.3%) and CAKUT (8.6%). Reverse phenotyping permitted correct identification in 40 cases with clinical reassessment and unexpected genetic conditions. We present the results of the largest cohort of children with kidney disease in China where diagnostic exome sequencing was performed. Our data demonstrate the utility of family-based exome sequencing, and indicate that the combined analysis of genotype and phenotype based on the national patient registry is pivotal to the genetic diagnosis of kidney disease.

Isolation and identification of a 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-P-dioxin degrading strain and its biochemical degradation pathway - Lina Qiu; Weiwei Zhang; Aijun Gong; Jiandi Li (Journal of Environmental Health Science and Engineering, 2021)
This study aims to find a high-efficiency degradation strain which can biodegrade the 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-P-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD). In this paper, a new fungus strain was isolated from activated sludge of Dagu Drainage River in Tianjin which was able to degrade 2,3,7,8-TCDD in the medium. Based on its morphology and phylogenetic analysis of its 18S rDNA sequence, the strain was identified as Penicillium sp. QI-1. Response surface methodology using central composite rotatable design of cultural conditions was successfully employed for optimization resulting in 87.9 % degradation of 2,3,7,8-TCDD (1 µg/mL) within 6 days. The optimum condition for degrading 2,3,7,8-TCDD was at 31℃ and pH 7.4. The biodegradation process was fitted to a first-order kinetic model. The kinetic equation was C t =0.939e − 0.133t and its half-life was 5.21d. The fungus strain degraded 2,3,7,8-TCDD to form intermediates, they were 4,5-Dichloro-1,2-benzoquinone, 4,5-Dichlorocatechol, 2-Hydrooxy-1,4-benzoquinone, 1,2,4-Trihydroxybenzene and β-ketoadipic acid. A novel degradation pathway for 2,3,7,8-TCDD was proposed based on analysis of these metabolites. The results suggest that Penicillium sp. QI-1 may be an ideal microorganism for biodegradation of the 2,3,7,8-TCDD-contaminated environments.

Endophytic colonization by Beauveria bassiana increases the resistance of tomatoes against Bemisia tabaci - Qiu-Yang Wei; Ya-Ying Li; Chen Xu; Yi-Xia Wu; Ya-Ru Zhang; Huai Liu (Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2020)
Beauveria bassiana , an entomopathogenic fungus, can exist asymptomatically as an endophyte in many plants. This study aimed to determine the efficiency of B. bassiana colonization of tomato plants using different inoculation methods, and how colonization of the host plant affects the key pest of tomato, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci . To confirm fungal colonization efficiency, nested PCR technique was used to detect B. bassiana sequences in Solanum lycopersicum . Distribution of the fungus within the plant parts was determined by selective medium. Tomato growth parameters were determined with plants that had been inoculated using direct spraying or irrigation of the rhizosphere. B. tabaci performance assays were carried out in a cage, and preference to treatments was determined using Y-tube olfactometer studies. Results show that B. bassiana can effectively colonize tomato, with colonization rate using leaf spraying reaching 100% within 14 days. Fungal presence was not uniformly distributed among plant parts, but was biased towards the inoculation sites. For inoculation, conidial suspension sprayed at 1 × 10 8 conidia/ml resulted in the highest number of isolated colonies in leaf tissue, 8.5 ± 2.02 colonies per 2 g of fresh tissue ( F 4,19 = 2.779, P = 0.045), and reached the lowest with root treatment. Although only small differences were observed among the growth indicators, leaf spray inoculation resulted in a significant positive influence on plant growth (PC1 55.7% contributions scores = 2.645) in further Principal component analysis. As for the feeding selectivity, B. tabaci preferred uninoculated plants. In Y-tube olfactometer assay, 80.5% of adults selected uninoculated plants. These findings add to the understanding of the interactions between B. bassiana and plants and indicate the potential of expanding the use of entomopathogenic fungi for crop protection.
