Evaluation of the Potential of the Hard Clam (Meretrix meretrix) Shell Which Can Be Used as the Bioindicator for Heavy Metal Accumulation - Yen-Ting Lin; Fang-Chi Chang; Ming-Tsung Chung; Ze-Kai Li; Chang-Chuan Chan; Ying-Sheng Huang; Kuo-Fang Huang; Yu-San Han (Fishes, 2022)
Clams, Meretrix meretrix, were one of the favorite aquatic products in Taiwan and the world. It was reported that the water pollutants such as heavy metals and chemicals might accumulate in the clam body and shell through filter-feeding behavior. Thus, the bivalves could be used as bioindicators in the aquatic environment. The present study analyzed 20 trace elements, Mg, Sr, Li, Cd, Ba, Mn, Al, U, Ti, Pb, Nd, B, S, Zn, Fe, P, Na, K, Cu, and Ni, in the shells of the clams collected from the wild coastal area and cultured ponds to evaluate which elements have the potential to be biomarkers. The concentrations of 20 elements were detected by Solution-Based Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (SB-ICPMS). Among them, Cd, Al, U, Ti, Nd, S, and K were below the detection limit. The remaining elements were analyzed for accumulation. The levels of Zn, Fe, and Ni possess high variation in an identical environment; so, a PCA was conducted without these three elements to reduce noise. The PCA result proved that the clam could absorb specific trace elements from the habitat. After a period of time, the contents of the absorption in the shells of the clams living in an identical environment became more similar. The analyzed element, Pb, was not found with a special difference in this study. The levels of Na, Sr, Mg, B, Mn, P, Ba, Li, and Cu reflected different sampling sites, which suggested that these elements in the species M. meretrix had the potential to be used as biomarkers for assessing heavy metal accumulation in the environment.

RNA-Seq Reveals the Effect of Ethylene on the Volatile Organic Components (VOCs) of Cavendish Banana at Different Post-harvesting Stages - Tongxin Dou; Chunhua Hu; Shujing Zhao; Huijun Gao; Weidi He; Guiming Deng; Ou Sheng; Fangcheng Bi; Qiaosong Yang; Chunyu Li; Ganjun Yi; Tao Dong (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2022)
Aroma serves as one of the decisive factors influencing the value of banana commodities. Most of characteristic volatile organic components (VOCs) are formed during post-harvesting. However, the changing of VOCs of banana at different post-harvesting stages remain ambiguous. In this study, the VOCs of Cavendish banana for the four typical post-harvesting stages (green stage/half of yellow stage/yellow ripening stage/over ripening stage) are clarified using headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME), combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The results inferred that the relative content of branched-chain esters such as acetate and butyrate, which form the main contributors of aroma in bananas, is higher in the T2 and T3 stages. Further, RNA-Seq technology was employed to clarify the formation mechanism of banana aroma in the post-harvesting stage. The MaTGL4 gene of the linoleic acid metabolism pathway and the MaBCAT3 and MaBCAT5 genes of the valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation pathway in banana suggest the expression is active late in the ripening stage, and the upregulated expression of these genes is analogous to the formation of aroma components such as branched-chain esters and hexenal. The above results not only provide baseline data on the differences in physical and chemical properties of VOCs in various post-harvesting stages of banana production, but also provide theoretical guidance facilitating the subsequent improvement of the commercial value of bananas through genetic improvement.

Physical Model Experimental Study on the Coalface Overburden Movement Law on the End Slope of an Open-Pit Mine - Xinpin Ding; Fengming Li; Zhenwei Wang; Sheng Sang; Mingming Cao (Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2022)
Due to technological and safety limitations, there are considerable amounts of coal resources pressed under end slopes in open-pit coal mines. In recent years, this problem has gradually attracted the attention of researchers. How to realize the efficient recovery of side overburden resources while ensuring the stability and safety of slopes has become an important topic for the development of mining technology in China. A 2D/3D integrated simulation experimental device for end slope coal mining is developed. Based on the geological engineering conditions of the Ordos mining area in China, a typical geological engineering model of a near-horizontal slope condition is constructed to simulate the whole process of “roadway group formation—supporting coal pillar failure—slope rock mass instability”. By tracking and monitoring the movement and failure processes of slope rock masses in an end-slope mining field, the yield failure characteristics of coal pillars and the movement and deformation laws of slope rock masses are revealed, and the deformation and failure zoning method of overburden rock in an end-slope mining field is proposed; in addition, the key stages, trigger conditions and key positions of slope deformation and instability are defined. The results show that under the coupling action of the “slope stress field” and “roadway group stress field”, the actual stress of a supporting coal pillar in the deep part of a geometric centre along the slope of a roadway group is greater than the ultimate stress, and then large discontinuous deformations of multiple adjacent coal pillars around the central coal pillar are caused by compressive shear failure, which is the triggering condition of deformation and instability around the mining slope. The key position of yield failure of the supporting coal pillar is located in the deep part of the geometric centre along the slope of the roadway group. At the end of the mining adit, the supporting coal pillar within a width of 2.5–3 times the mining adit will not be destroyed. The boundary of the final collapse plane range of the roadway group is approximately a closed curve formed by two paraboloids, which are axisymmetric with the central pillar and open oppositely; the parabola opening in the shallow part of the slope area is small, and the parabola opening in the deep part of the slope area is large. There is a significant space–time correspondence between the failure of supporting coal pillars and the deformation of the slope surface. According to the failure process of the rock mass structure and the movement and deformation characteristics of the slope surface, the slope after failure can be divided into three areas, and the upper part of the slope is the key area of deformation and instability of the overlying rock mass in the end-slope mining field. These research results provide a theoretical basis for the scientific monitoring and stability control of slopes in an end-slope mining field.

Transcriptome analysis and co‐expression network reveal the mechanism linking mitochondrial function to immune regulation in red crucian carp ( Carassius auratus red var) after Aeromonas hydrophila challenge - Ning‐Xia Xiong; Xu‐Ying Kuang; Zi‐Xuan Fang; Jie Ou; Shi‐Yun Li; Jia‐Hui Zhao; Jin‐Fang Huang; Ke‐Xin Li; Rou Wang; Lan‐Fen Fan; Sheng‐Wei Luo; Shao‐Jun Liu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Aeromonas hydrophila is a common pathogen of freshwater fish. In this study, A. hydrophila infection was shown to cause tissue damage, trigger physiological changes as well as alter the expression profiles of immune‐ and metabolic‐related genes in immune tissues of red crucian carp (RCC). Transcriptome analysis revealed that acute A. hydrophila infection exerted a profound effect on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation linking metabolic regulation to immune response. In addition, we further identified cellular senescence, apoptosis, necrosis and mitogen‐activated protein kinase signal pathways as crucial signal pathways in the kidney of RCC subjected to A. hydrophila infection. These findings may have important implications for understanding modulation of immunometabolic response to bacterial infection.

Changes in amino acid and fatty acid composition during early development in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) - Jian-sheng Huang; Rong-xin Li; Rui-tao Xie; You-ming Chen; Jian-dong Zhang; Eric Amenyogbe; Gang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
An estimation of the utilization of endogenous nutrients from the yolk sac that occurs during embryonic and early larval development can be a valuable approach to studying the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. In this study, fertilized eggs, embryos (before the membrane, 24 hours after fertilization), newly-hatched larvae (0-d-old), and open-mouthed larvae (3-day-old, unfed rotifers) samples of cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ) were collected to determine the amino acid and fatty acid profiles. Crude protein composition varies significantly for cobia during the different stages of development. The total amino acids, except for lysine(Lys), histidine (His), methionine(Met), serine(Ser), and glycine(Gly), had no significant change in the early development stage ( P > 0.05); the content of other six essential amino acids (EAA) and six non-essential amino acids (NEAA) was consistent with the changing trend of total essential amino acid. From hatching newly hatched larvae to open-mouthed larvae, except for Leu, Phe and Ser, decreased significantly ( P <0.05). From the utilization rate of FAA, the utilization rate of Lys and Leu was the highest (60.26%) and (52.21%) in the embryonic and endogenous nutritional stages, respectively. The water content of the open-mouthed larvae of cobia was significantly higher than that of the fertilized eggs, embryos, and newly hatched larvae ( P < 0.05). Three kinds of saturated fatty acids (SFA), five kinds of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and eight kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were detected in the dry samples of each developmental stage. Based on these results, juvenile cobia can thrive with a wide range of crude protein concentrations. Further refinement of commercial cobia production feeds would have beneficial consequences for economic and environmental concerns due to the positive impacts of optimizing the protein component as well as the ability to maintain the rapid growth rates. The results show that the larval development of cobia needs to consume large amounts of n3PUFA (especially DHA and EPA) to improve the larvae’s survival rate. Research methods will always have limitations when evaluating the relationship between early life nutrition interventions and well-being outcomes later in life. This study provides essential information regarding cobia larvae’s fatty acid requirements.

The striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is an important freshwater aquaculture species in Southeast Asian countries due to its rapid growth. The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a significant regulatory factor for the growth axis and has great potential applications in animal genetic breeding. This study aims to characterize the GHRb cDNA of the striped catfish and analyze the distribution of its mRNA. Screening of single nucleotide polymorphisms’ (SNPs) loci and diplotypes was performed to provide basic information for the assisted selection of molecular markers in genetic breeding. The results showed that the GHRb cDNA of striped catfish had 2791 bp, which encoded for 569 amino acids. In a phylogenyic study, the ghrb of the striped catfish was clustered with those of other catfish and they were highly homologous. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments showed that GHRb mRNA was expressed in ten different organs of the striped catfish, with the highest expression level in the liver. Five SNP and a haplotype block were identified in the 3′UTR of the GHRb gene using the direct sequencing of 307 individuals. Three haplotypes were found and four diplotypes were constructed. The association analysis revealed that these polymorphisms were significantly associated with growth traits in the striped catfish (p

Feldpausch; Daniel Falster; Vladimir A. Usoltsev; Stephen Adu‐Bredu; Luciana F. Alves; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Data capturing multiple axes of tree size and shape, such as a tree's stem diameter, height and crown size, underpin a wide range of ecological research—from developing and testing theory on forest structure and dynamics, to estimating forest carbon stocks and their uncertainties, and integrating remote sensing imagery into forest monitoring programmes. However, these data can be surprisingly hard to come by, particularly for certain regions of the world and for specific taxonomic groups, posing a real barrier to progress in these fields. To overcome this challenge, we developed the Tallo database, a collection of 498,838 georeferenced and taxonomically standardized records of individual trees for which stem diameter, height and/or crown radius have been measured. These data were collected at 61,856 globally distributed sites, spanning all major forested and non‐forested biomes. The majority of trees in the database are identified to species (88%), and collectively Tallo includes data for 5163 species distributed across 1453 genera and 187 plant families. The database is publicly archived under a CC‐BY 4.0 licence and can be access from: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6637599 . To demonstrate its value, here we present three case studies that highlight how the Tallo database can be used to address a range of theoretical and applied questions in ecology—from testing the predictions of metabolic scaling theory, to exploring the limits of tree allometric plasticity along environmental gradients and modelling global variation in maximum attainable tree height. In doing so, we provide a key resource for field ecologists, remote sensing researchers and the modelling community working together to better understand the role that trees play in regulating the terrestrial carbon cycle.

Systematic contributions of CFEM domain‐containing proteins to iron acquisition are essential for interspecies interaction of the filamentous pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana - Yue‐Jin Peng; Jia Hou; Hao Zhang; Jia‐Hui Lei; Hai‐Yan Lin; Jin‐Li Ding; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Common in fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain is unique in fungal proteins and some of which contribute to iron acquisition in yeast. However, their roles in iron acquisition remain largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, 12 CFEM‐containing proteins were bioinformatically identified in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana , and the roles of 11 genes were genetically characterized. Transmembrane helices were critical for their association with intracellular membranes, and their number varied among proteins. Eleven CFEM genes significantly contribute to vegetative growth under iron starvation and virulence. Notably, the virulence of most disruptants could be significantly weakened by a decrease in iron availability, in which the virulence of Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 strains was partially recovered by exogenous hemin. Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 mutants displayed defective competitiveness against the sister entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii . All 11 disruptants displayed impaired growth in the antagonistic assay with the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger , which could be repressed by exogenous ferric ions. These findings not only reveal the systematic contributions of CFEM proteins to acquire two forms of iron (i.e. heme and ferric ion) in the entire lifecycle of entomopathogenic fungi but also help to better understand the mechanisms of fungus–host and inter–fungus interactions.

Improving protected area effectiveness through consideration of different human‐pressure baselines - Chun‐Ting Feng; Ming Cao; Fang‐Zheng Liu; Yue Zhou; Jin‐Hong Du; Li‐Bo Zhang; Wen‐Jie Huang; Jian‐Wu Luo; Jun‐Sheng Li; Wei Wang (Conservation Biology, 2022)
Previous assessments of the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) focused primarily on changes in human pressure over time and did not consider the different human‐pressure baselines of PAs, thereby potentially over‐ or underestimating PA effectiveness. We developed a framework that considers both human‐pressure baseline and change in human pressure over time and assessed the effectiveness of 338 PAs in China from 2010 to 2020. The initial state of human pressure on PAs was taken as the baseline, and changes in human pressure index (HPI) were further analyzed under different baselines. We used the random forest models to identify the management measures that most improved effectiveness in resisting human pressure for the PAs with different baselines. Finally, the relationships between the changes in the HPI and the changes in natural ecosystems in PAs were analyzed with different baselines. Of PAs with low HPI baselines, medium HPI baselines, and high HPI baselines, 76.92% ( n =150), 11.11% ( n =12), and 22.86% ( n =8) , respectively, showed positive effects in resisting human pressure. Overall, ignoring human‐pressure baselines somewhat underestimated the positive effects of PAs, especially for those with low initial human pressure. For PAs with different initial human pressures, different management measures should be taken to improve effectiveness and reduce threats to natural ecosystems. We believe our framework is useful for assessing the effectiveness of PAs globally, and we recommend it be included in the Convention on Biological Diversity Post‐2020 Strategy.

Examining the expansion of Spartina alterniflora in coastal wetlands using an MCE-CA-Markov model - Dandan Yan; Jingtai Li; Siying Xie; Yao Liu; Yufeng Sheng; Zhaoqing Luan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The spread of Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) has put biodiversity and ecosystem function at risk since it was introduced to China just a few decades ago. A better understanding of how the range of S. alterniflora will expand in the future will help manage the invasion of this species in coastal wetlands. However, it is difficult to model the future extent of Spartina saltmarshes in China. To address this issue, we combined multi criteria evaluation with traditional CA Markov model to provide robust forecasting of the spatial expansion of S. alterniflora for the next ten years, at Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve, Jiangsu, China. Our results showed that, compared with the interpretation results of high-resolution remote sensing images in 2020, the kappa coefficient of verification accuracy was 82.63%, indicating that the MCE-CA-Markov model has good prediction results. Therefore, the model can forecast the expansion process of S. alterniflora over the next ten years. The model predicts that the area of S. alterniflora continued to decrease from 910.25 ha in 2020 to 881.21 ha in 2030. The spatial distribution of S. alterniflora has been decreasing on the landward side while it has been expanding towards the sea on the seaward side. This study provides some suggestions for effective management and control of invasive species, which could be important for wetland biodiversity conservation and resource management.

Rap2a Is Negatively Regulated by NF-κB and Contributes to Growth via Wnt Pathway in Shrimp - Sheng Wang; Mingyu He; Qinyao Li; Haoyang Li; Bin Yin; Jianguo He; Chaozheng Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Rap2a, a member of Ras family small GTPases, plays a key role in growth and development. So far, no Rap2a homolog has been discovered in crustaceans. Herein, a Rap2a homolog from shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei , named LvRap2a, was cloned and identified. LvRap2a showed a high level of sequence conservation to other Rap2a homologs from different species. LvRap2a was found to be abundantly expressed in hemocytes, muscle, hepatopancreas and intestine tissues. Importantly, Rap2a knockdown effectively suppressed the length and weight of shrimp in a growth experiment. Mechanistically, we found that Rap2a could induce the expression of several Wnts, which are the positive regulators in cellular growth, differentiation, and tissue homeostasis. Moreover, LvRap2a expression was observed to be negatively regulated by LvDorsal (NF-κB), a transcription factor of innate immune signaling pathway. These results indicated that LvRap2a contributed to shrimp growth probably by activating the Wnt signaling pathway, and that LvRap2a could be the crosstalk between innate immunity and growth, as well as that LvRap2a could serve as a potential target for shrimp growth promotion.

Species and Functional Dynamics of the Demersal Fish Community and Responses to Disturbances in the Pearl River Estuary - Zeyu Zeng; William W. L. Cheung; Han Lai; Huadong Yi; Sheng Bi; Haiyang Li; Xiaoli Chen; Yuqin Su; Xuange Liu; Qiuxian Chen; Zhilun Zhang; Xuchong Wei; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Fishery resources are threatened by environmental changes and anthropogenic pressures, particularly in coastal ecosystems. It is crucial to understand the changes of fish communities and their responses to environmental changes and human disturbances to formulate rational fisheries and ecosystem-based management. The Pearl River Estuary (PRE) is a typical sub-tropic coastal ecosystem located in the center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the northern South China Sea. The demersal fish in the PRE is traditionally targeted as commercial fishing and severely impacted by overexploitation and hypoxia in the last few decades. In this study, we analyze the fish survey data during the period of 2020~2021 using multivariate statistics to investigate the impacts of human disturbances on the species and functional dynamics of the demersal fish community in the PRE. The results reveal that dissolved oxygen and temperature have significant correlations with the functional traits of the demersal fish community. The impacts of hypoxia on the demersal fish vary with species and locations. We found that the mean functional redundancy of the demersal fish community in the PRE was high across three surveys, but the functional diversity was low in this region. The abundance and richness of the demersal fish community increased during the summer fishing moratorium in the South China Sea in 2021, but the functional diversity did not increase significantly. We conclude that the high functional redundancy in the PRE might not be sufficient to buffer against environmental disturbances because of its low functional diversity. Our study highlights the complicated interactions between the demersal fish community and disturbances in the PRE. Understanding the traits structure and functional diversity of the fish community can help elucidate the factors determining the dynamic responses of the fish community to disturbances.

Low soil phosphorus (P) bioavailability causes the widespread occurrence of P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems around the globe. Exploring the factors influencing soil P bioavailability at large spatial scales is critical for managing these ecosystems. However, previous studies have mostly focused on abiotic factors. In this study, we explored the effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability of terrestrial ecosystems using a country‐scale sampling effort. Our results showed that soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and acid phosphatase were important predictors of soil P bioavailability of agro‐ and natural ecosystems across China although they appeared less important than total soil P. The two microbial factors had a positive effect on soil P bioavailability of both ecosystem types and were able to mediate the effects of several abiotic factors (e.g., mean annual temperature). Meanwhile, we revealed that soil phytase could affect soil P bioavailability at the country scale via ways similar to those of soil MBC and acid phosphatase, a pattern being more pronounced in agroecosystems than in natural ecosystems. Moreover, we obtained evidence for the positive effects of microbial genes encoding these enzymes on soil P bioavailability at the country scale although their effect sizes varied between the two ecosystem types. Taken together, this study demonstrated the remarkable effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability at a large spatial scale, highlighting the importance to consider microbial factors in managing the widespread P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems.

Design and Reconfiguration of Multicomponent Hydrodynamic Manipulation Devices with Arbitrary Complex Structures - Haixiang Pang; Yunxiang You; Tingqiu Li; Ke Chen; Li Sheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Being a powerful strategy to preclude drag and achieve hydrodynamic invisibility, flow field manipulation is attracting widespread attention. In this investigation, we introduce a systematic set of arbitrary-space divide-and-conquer transformation strategies to design complex hydrodynamic cloaks. This theory removes the difficulties associated with the analytic description of complicated and irregular structures to construct hydrodynamic cloaks by adopting the divide-and-conquer algorithm and reconfiguring strategies. It also provides an approach for redistributing the flow field energy and guiding the fluid flow as desired. The proposed theory not only opens up new ideas for improving the speed and concealment of marine vehicles but also provides a new strategy for ensuring the safety of aquatic and underwater structure operations.

Biotic Response to Rapid Environmental Changes During the Permian–Triassic Mass Extinction - Guoshan Li; Yongbiao Wang; Sheng Li; Tan Wang; Wei Liao; Baozhu Deng; Zhongping Lai (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The divergent patterns of Permian–Triassic mass extinction (PTME) have been extensively documented in varying water depth settings. We here investigated fossil assemblages and sedimentary microfacies on high-resolution samples from two adjacent sections of the South China Block: Chongyang from shallow-water platform and Chibi from deeper-water slop. At Chongyang, abundant benthos (over 80%), including rugose corals, fusulinids, calcareous algae, and large foraminifers, disappeared precipitously at the topmost of Changxing Formation grainstone, which suggested complete damage of the benthic ecosystem, confirming a sudden single-pulse extinction pattern. The end-Permian regression, marked by a karst surface, provided a plausible explanation for this extinction pattern. Whereas for the fauna in Chibi, the benthos was relatively abundant (20%–55%) with more trace fossils and lacking calcareous algae. Benthic abundance in Chibi reduced by two steps at the two claystone beds (Beds 10 and 18): bioclastic content dropped from an average of 50% in Beds 1–9 to 10% in Beds 11–17 and then to less than 5% in Beds 19–23, suggesting a two-pulse extinction. At the first pulse, large foraminifers were prominent victims in both shallow- and deeper-water settings. A plausible survival strategy for small-sized foraminifers was to migrate to deeper water to avoid extreme heat in shallow water. The early Triassic transgression prompted some small foraminifers to migrate back to original platforms and flourish briefly as disaster forms. At the Early Triassic mudstone with bottom-water settings in Chibi, the appearance of abundant small pyrite framboids (diameters of 4.74–5.96 μm), an indicator of intensified oxygen deficiency, was simultaneous with the two-step reduction of benthic diversity and abundance. Thus, anoxic conditions might be the main cause of the PTME at deeper-water settings. Our study is an example of the wider debate about biotic response to rapid environmental change for both the Permian–Triassic transition and modern days.

Dynamics of Carbon Storage in Saltmarshes Across China’s Eastern Coastal Wetlands From 1987 to 2020 - Jingtai Li; Dandan Yan; Xiuying Yao; Yao Liu; Siying Xie; Yufeng Sheng; Zhaoqing Luan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Saltmarsh carbon storage contributes significantly to combating global climate change and achieving regional carbon neutrality. Yet saltmarsh carbon stocks have shown a trend of decline in recent years. Therefore, long-term monitoring and analyzing of saltmarshes for their carbon storage is imperative to better protect and manage this pool of carbon. This study investigated the spatiotemporal dynamics in saltmarsh carbon storage during 1987–2020, by using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform and applying the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model, and analyzed the driving factors of carbon storage in saltmarshes. The key results are as follows. Firstly, carbon density values in saltmarshes ranged more than 14-fold, from 7.24 to 104.99 Mg·hm -2 , and the total carbon storage showed a decreasing trend. Secondly, reduced carbon storage was concentrated in inshore saltmarshes adjacent to reclamation sites, especially in Shandong, whereas augmented carbon storage characterized the offshore saltmarshes dominated by Spartina alterniflora , especially in Shanghai and Jiangsu. Overall, the carbon stocks of saltmarshes have fallen by 10.44 Tg; the decrease in carbon storage caused by Suaeda salsa , Phragmites australis , and mudflats exceeded the increase in carbon storage caused by Spartina alterniflora and Scirpus mariqueter . Further, we found that reclamation was the most dominant driver of carbon storage reductions, except for sea level rise and hurricane disturbances that can also negatively impact carbon storage, while greater carbon storage was closely related to the invasion of Spartina alterniflora . This study’s findings facilitate the development of a carbon storage management strategy for saltmarsh ecosystems to address global climate change and contribute to attaining carbon neutrality.

Sandstorms cause shrinkage of Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs and limit their self-renewal - Sheng-bo Shi; Dang-wei Zhou; Fang-lin Wang; Rui Shi; Tao Sun; Tian-cai Li; Jia-lin Ma; Xiang Wan; Jian-ping Ma; Jing-nian Tang (Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology, 2022)
Haloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but are now at risk of degradation and shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, the response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency and non-photochemical quenching capacity to sediment-carrying wind and sand-free wind (both 12 m s −1 ) lasting for 10, 20, and 40 min were studied with seedlings in a wind tunnel. The results indicated that the sand-free wind had little influence on the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry, F v / F m , which was approximately 0.80 on average; however, the F v / F m decreased over exposure time in the sediment-carrying wind group, with values smaller than those in the wind-only group. The non-photochemical quenching was sensitive to wind erosion, and sediment-carrying wind could aggravate the reduction in non-photochemical quenching ( NPQ ). Except for the 10 min duration, the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry after dark recovery for 15 min, F v r / F m r , was lower in seedlings exposed to sediment-carrying wind than in those in the wind-only group. Compared to wind-only, wind-blown sand led to a water imbalance and withering in seedlings, causing the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (when based on the fresh mass of green branches) to not decrease. With a longer exposure time to sediment-carrying wind, both the probability and extent of lignified spots occurring increased in green assimilative branches. Our results demonstrated that sediment-carrying wind at 12 m s −1 lasting for 20 min or more could cause irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of H. ammodendron seedlings. Therefore, frequent and strong sandstorms are the main disturbance factors leading to shrinkage of shrubs and limiting their self-renewal.

The Identification of Fish Eggs From Four Economically Important Species in Guanghai Bay (China) - Yan-Jing Zheng; Xiao-Juan Peng; Wei-Xu Cai; Quan-Sheng Lou; Xiang-Li Lyu; Ying-Hua Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
By far, very few studies have dealt with the ichthyoplankton diversity in Guanghai Bay (China), which is a potential spawning ground for many important fish species. In this study, fish eggs collected in Guanghai Bay were identified through molecular method combined with visual taxonomic method. We employed two mitochondrial gene regions of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) as genetic markers for species identification. Through sequence identification at NCBI, 121 eggs with overlapping size range and easy to be confused were discriminated as four economically important species: seven as silver sillago Sillago sihama , 48 as black-banded sillago Sillago nigrofasciata , 38 as yellow drum Nibea albiflora , and 28 as Pacific seabream Acanthopagrus pacificus . Phylogenetic analyses showed that these 121 eggs clustered in four groups with strong support. To testify the validity of these identification results, species identification through five BarcodingR package methods was also carried out using sequences of 33 fish specimens as a reference library covering four target species. Finally, a highly consensus of species assignment results was achieved across different methods. Morphological characteristics and detailed photographs for eggs from these four species were supplied here. Eggs of each species are pelagic, round, have a smooth chorion and one single oil globule. Embryonic pigment patterns vary as eggs develop and can be used for species distinguishing. Eggs from S. nigrofasciata and A. pacificus were described for the first time in this study. One simple and accurate method for identifying N. albiflora eggs was additionally provided. Moreover, the morphological differences between two Sillago eggs offered supportive evidence for the recent separation of S. nigrofasciata as a new species from S. sihama . All these results would be critical for the discrimination of eggs from these four species and the estimation for their spawning areas. Meanwhile, our study would contribute to the stock assessment and fishery management in Guanghai Bay.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurological disorder. Currently, there is no effective cure for AD due to its complexity in pathogenesis. In light of the complex pathogenesis of AD, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Kai-Xin-San (KXS), which was used for amnesia treatment, has been proved to improve cognitive function in AD animal models. However, the active ingredients and the mechanism of KXS have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this study, network pharmacology analysis predicts that KXS yields 168 candidate compounds acting on 863 potential targets, 30 of which are associated with AD. Enrichment analysis revealed that the therapeutic mechanisms of KXS for AD are associated with the inhibition of Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, inflammation, and apoptosis. Therefore, we chose 7-month-old senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice as AD mouse model, which harbors the behavioral and pathological hallmarks of AD. Subsequently, the potential underlying action mechanisms of KXS on AD predicted by the network pharmacology analyses were experimentally validated in SAMP8 mice after intragastric administration of KXS for 3 months. We observed that KXS upregulated AKT phosphorylation, suppressed GSK3β and CDK5 activation, and inhibited the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to attenuate Tau hyperphosphorylation and neuroinflammation, thus suppressing neuronal apoptosis and improving the cognitive impairment of aged SAMP8 mice. Taken together, our findings reveal a multi-component and multi-target therapeutic mechanism of KXS for attenuating the progression of AD, contributing to the future development of TCM modernization, including KXS, and broader clinical application.

Zkscan3 affects erythroblast development by regulating the transcriptional activity of GATA1 and KLF1 in mice - Zixuan Li; Binjie Sheng; Tingting Zhang; Tian Wang; Dan Chen; Gangli An; Xingbing Wang; Huimin Meng; Lin Yang (Journal of Molecular Histology, 2022)
ZKSCAN3 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that regulates the expression of important genes and plays a significant role in tumor development, pathogenesis, and metastasis. However, its biological functions under normal physiological conditions remain largely unknown. In our previous studies, using flow cytometry, we found that the deletion of Zkscan3 may cause abnormal erythropoiesis. In this study, we found that, in a Zkscan3 knockout mice model, the number of splenic early-stage (basophilic-erythroblasts) and late-stage (chromatophilic-erythroblasts to polychromatophilic-erythroblasts through orthochromatophilic-erythroblasts) erythroblasts increased, whereas the number of late erythroblasts in the bone marrow decreased. Moreover, the phenotype was exacerbated after treating mice with phenylhydrazine (PHZ), which causes severe hemolytic anemia. In the knockout mice treated with PHZ, the percentage of reticulocyte in the peripheral blood conspicuously increased, whereas MCHC and red blood cells decreased. Then, we performed RNA-seq and quantitative-polymerase chain reaction assay and found that the expression of GATA1 and Tiam1 in erythroblasts were upregulated, whereas KLF1 was downregulated. Luciferase assays showed that Zkscan3 inhibited the transcription of GATA1 and Tiam1 and promoted the expression of KLF1 . Additionally, ChIP and CO-IP results confirmed that Zkscan3 directly interacts with GATA1 and inhibits its transcriptional activity in MEL cells. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, the significant role of Zkscan3 in physiological erythropoiesis through the interaction with GATA1, both at the DNA and protein level, and with Tiam1 and KLF1 at the DNA level.

Expansion of bilin‐based red light sensors in the subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme - Hai‐Feng Xu; Guo‐Zheng Dai; Yu‐Jie Wang; Chao Cheng; Jin‐Long Shang; Ren‐Han Li; Ke Liu; Deqiang Duanmu; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Light is the crucial environmental signal for desiccation‐tolerant cyanobacteria to activate photosynthesis and prepare for desiccation at dawn. However, the photobiological characteristics of desert cyanobacteria adaptation to one of the harshest habitats on Earth remain unresolved. In this study, we surveyed the genome of a subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme and identified two phytochromes and seven cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) with one or more bilin‐binding GAF (cGMP phosphodiesterase/adenylyl cyclase/FhlA) domains. Biochemical and spectroscopic analyses of 69 purified GAF‐containing proteins from recombinant phycocyanobilin (PCB), biliverdin or phycoerythrobilin‐producing Escherichia coli indicated that nine of these proteins bind chromophores. Further investigation revealed that 11 GAFs form covalent adducts responsive to near‐UV and visible light: eight GAFs contained PCB chromophores, three GAFs contained biliverdin chromophores and one contained the PCB isomer, phycoviolobilin. Interestingly, COO91_03972 is the first‐ever reported GAF‐only CBCR capable of sensing five wavelengths of light. Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses revealed that residue P132 of COO91_03972 is essential for chromophore binding to dual‐cysteine CBCRs. Furthermore, the complement of N . flagelliforme CBCRs is enriched in red light sensors. We hypothesize that these sensors are critical for the acclimatization of N . flagelliforme to weak light environments at dawn.

Unexpected role of electron‐transfer hub in direct degradation of pollutants by exoelectrogenic bacteria - Ting‐Ting Zhu; Zhou‐Hua Cheng; Sheng‐Song Yu; Wen‐Wei Li; Dong‐Feng Liu; Han‐Qing Yu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Exoelectrogenic bacteria (EEB) are capable of anaerobic respiration with diverse extracellular electron acceptors including insoluble minerals, electrodes and flavins, but the detailed electron transfer pathways and reaction mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we discover that CymA, which is usually considered to solely serve as an inner‐membrane electron transfer hub in Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1 (a model EEB), might also function as a reductase for direct reducing diverse nitroaromatic compounds (e.g. 2,4‐dichloronitrobenzene) and azo dyes. Such a process can be accelerated by dosing anthraquinone‐2,6‐disulfonate. The CymA‐based reduction pathways in S . oneidensis MR‐1 for different contaminants could be functionally reconstructed and strengthened in Escherichia coli . The direct reduction of lowly polar contaminants by quinol oxidases like CymA homologues might be universal in diverse microbes. This work offers new insights into the pollutant reduction mechanisms of EEB and unveils a new function of CymA to act as a terminal reductase.

Functional traits explain the consistent resistance of biodiversity to plant invasion under nitrogen enrichment - Shao‐peng Li; Pu Jia; Shu‐ya Fan; Yingtong Wu; Xiang Liu; Yani Meng; Yue Li; Wen‐sheng Shu; Jin‐tian Li; Lin Jiang (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Elton's biotic resistance hypothesis, which posits that diverse communities should be more resistant to biological invasions, has received considerable experimental support. However, it remains unclear whether such a negative diversity–invasibility relationship would persist under anthropogenic environmental change. By using the common ragweed ( Ambrosia artemisiifolia ) as a model invader, our 4‐year grassland experiment demonstrated consistently negative relationships between resident species diversity and community invasibility, irrespective of nitrogen addition, a result further supported by a meta‐analysis. Importantly, our experiment showed that plant diversity consistently resisted invasion simultaneously through increased resident biomass, increased trait dissimilarity among residents, and increased community‐weighted means of resource‐conservative traits that strongly resist invasion, pointing to the importance of both trait complementarity and sampling effects for invasion resistance even under resource enrichment. Our study provides unique evidence that considering species’ functional traits can help further our understanding of biotic resistance to biological invasions in a changing environment.

Exosome-Derived lncRNA NEAT1 Exacerbates Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy by Promoting Ferroptosis Through Regulating miR-9-5p/TFRC and GOT1 Axis - Xue-biao Wei; Wen-qiang Jiang; Ju-hao Zeng; Lin-qiang Huang; Hong-guang Ding; Yuan-wen Jing; Yong-li Han; Yi-chen Li; Sheng-long Chen (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Sepsis can cause sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE), but whether SAE was induced or exacerbated by ferroptosis remains unknown. In this study, the rat sepsis model was constructed using the cecal ligation and puncture method. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability was measured by Evans blue dye (EBD) in vivo. The levels of ROS, Fe ion, MDA, GSH, and GPX4 were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The exosomes isolated from serum were cultured with bEnd.3 cells for the in vitro analysis. Moreover, bEnd.3 cells cultured with 100 μM FeCl3 (iron-rich) were to simulate ferroptosis stress. The cell viability was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to confirm the relationship between miR-9-5p with NEAT1, TFRC , and GOT1 . In vivo, it is found that BBB permeability was damaged in model rats. Level of ROS, Fe ion, and MDA was increased, and level of GSH and GPX4 was decreased, which means ferroptosis was induced by sepsis. Exosome-packaged NEAT1 in serum was significantly upregulated in model rats. In vitro, it is found that NEAT1 functions as a ceRNA for miR-9-5p to facilitate TFRC and GOT1 expression. Overexpression of NEAT1 enhanced ferroptosis stress in bEnd.3 cells. Increased miR-9-5p alleviated sepsis-induced ferroptosis by suppressing the expression of TFRC and GOT1 both in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, these findings suggest that sepsis induced high expression of serous exosome-derived NEAT1, and it might exacerbate SAE by promoting ferroptosis through regulating miR-9-5p/ TFRC and GOT1 axis.

Pigment cell composition, pigment content, tyrosinase content and activity analysis were investigated on three kinds of loaches Misgurnus anguillicaudatus : big blackspot loaches (BBL), small blackspot loaches (SBL) and non‐blackspot loaches (NBL), from Poyang Lake. Results showed that there were three types of skin pigment cells, namely melanophores, xanthophores and iridophores. Melanophores in dorsum were more than those in abdomen. Melanophore cytosomes in BBL were larger than those in SBL and NBL, and melanosomes were the largest in stage four. The melanophores in dorsal skin of SBL or NBL were small cell bodies, spindle‐like and in chain distribution. There was an extremely significant difference in melanin content in BBL between the dorsum and abdomen ( P 0.01). There were no significant differences in melanin abdominal content, lutein and carotenoid contents among three kinds of loaches ( P > 0.05). In dorsal skin, tyrosinase content was the highest in BBL, and it was significantly lower in NBL than in BBL and SBL ( P 0.01). This study reveals the differences in pigment and tyrosinase content in three kinds of loaches and provides a theoretical basis for further study of the mechanism of black spot formation.

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.

Migration and spawning behavior of the greater amberjack Seriola dumerili in eastern Taiwan - Kazuki Tone; Yosuke Nakamura; Wei‐Chuan Chiang; Hsin‐Ming Yeh; Sheng‐Tai Hsiao; Chun‐Huei Li; Kazuyoshi Komeyama; Masanori Tomisaki; Takamasa Hasegawa; Takashi Sakamoto; Itsumi Nakamura; Yoshitaka Sakakura; et al. (Fisheries Oceanography, 2022)
Greater amberjack ( Seriola dumerili ) is an important fishery resource with a circumglobal distribution from tropical to temperate waters. Here, we investigated the spawning migration and habitat utilization of S. dumerili in the East China Sea (ECS). Archival tags were attached to 22 adult fish to examine their horizontal and vertical movements and estimate the spawning ground. S. dumerili were captured and released in the coastal waters of eastern Taiwan on November of 2016 and 2017. Information from seven pop‐up satellite archival tags and seven depth–temperature recorders was recovered. Almost all of the fish stayed in the Taiwanese exclusive economic zone. Most individuals moved from released site to the southern edge of the ECS and showed behavior associated with the topographic features in winter (November to December). These phenomena may be related to foraging and be driven by oceanographic features such as the seasonal monsoon and the Kuroshio. The fish then migrated to the south offshore area of Taiwan in January and February. During their southward migration, the fish experienced a slowly elevated water temperature regime (SETR), which is one of the environmental factors that induce final oocyte maturation. In the spawning season (February to April), tagged females exhibited continuous diel vertical movements (DVMs) after experiencing the SETR. These continuous DVMs were observed over a wide geographic range from north to south in the Kuroshio off eastern Taiwan. Our study demonstrated that the putative spawning ground of S. dumerili must extend further in a north–south direction than predicted in a previous study.

Homeostasis Regulation by Potassium Channel Subfamily K Member 3 (KCNK3) in Various Fishes - Zheng-Yong Wen; Chuan-Jie Qin; Yun-Yun Lv; Yan-Ping Li; Yuan-Chao Zou; Sheng-Tao Guo; Qiong Shi (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Potassium channels are important for K + transport and cell volume regulation, which play important roles in many biological processes such as hormone secretion, ion homeostasis, excitability, and cell development. In mammals, a total of 15 potassium channels were identified and they were divided into six subfamilies, including TALK (TALK1, TALK2, TASK2), TASK (TASK1, TASK3, TASK5), TREK (TREK1, TREK2, TRAAK), TWIK (TWIK1, TWIK2, KCNK7), THIK (THIK1, THIK2) and TRESK. TASK1, also known as potassium channel subfamily k member 3 (KCNK3), is the first member identified in the TASK subfamily. This K 2 P channel has potential applications in fish breeding and aquaculture industry due to its important roles in various physiological processes. Despite its functional role has been well studied in mammals; however, it is less known in fishes. In this review, we systematically summarize recent research advances of this critical potassium channel in representative fishes, such as gene number variation, tissue distribution, phylogeny, and potential homeostasis regulation role. This paper provides novel insights into the functional properties of these fish kcnk3 genes (including osmoregulation, energy homeostasis maintenance and fatty acids metabolism regulation), and also expands our knowledge about their variations among diverse fishes.

The Key Regulator of Necroptosis, RIP1 Kinase, Contributes to the Formation of Astrogliosis and Glial Scar in Ischemic Stroke - Yong-Ming Zhu; Liang Lin; Chao Wei; Yi Guo; Yuan Qin; Zhong-Sheng Li; Thomas A. Kent; Claire E. McCoy; Zhan-Xiang Wang; Yong Ni; Xian-Yong Zhou; Hui-Ling Zhang (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Necroptosis initiation relies on the receptor-interacting protein 1 kinase (RIP1K). We recently reported that genetic and pharmacological inhibition of RIP1K produces protection against ischemic stroke-induced astrocytic injury. However, the role of RIP1K in ischemic stroke-induced formation of astrogliosis and glial scar remains unknown. Here, in a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) rat model and an oxygen and glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/Re)-induced astrocytic injury model, we show that RIP1K was significantly elevated in the reactive astrocytes. Knockdown of RIP1K or delayed administration of RIP1K inhibitor Nec-1 down-regulated the glial scar markers, improved ischemic stroke-induced necrotic morphology and neurologic deficits, and reduced the volume of brain atrophy. Moreover, knockdown of RIP1K attenuated astrocytic cell death and proliferation and promoted neuronal axonal generation in a neuron and astrocyte co-culture system. Both vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) and its receptor VEGFR-3 were elevated in the reactive astrocytes; simultaneously, VEGF-D was increased in the medium of astrocytes exposed to OGD/Re. Knockdown of RIP1K down-regulated VEGF-D gene and protein levels in the reactive astrocytes. Treatment with 400 ng/ml recombinant VEGF-D induced the formation of glial scar; conversely, the inhibitor of VEGFR-3 suppressed OGD/Re-induced glial scar formation. RIP3K and MLKL may be involved in glial scar formation. Taken together, these results suggest that RIP1K participates in the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar via impairment of normal astrocyte responses and enhancing the astrocytic VEGF-D/VEGFR-3 signaling pathways. Inhibition of RIP1K promotes the brain functional recovery partially via suppressing the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar. Graphical Abstract

Methyl jasmonate elicits distinctive hydrolyzable tannin, flavonoid, and phyto-oxylipin responses in pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) leaves - Lijing Chang; Sheng Wu; Li Tian (Planta, 2021)
Main conclusion Transcriptome and biochemical analyses suggested that, while suppression of multiple flavonoids and anthocyanins occurs at least partially at the transcriptional level, increased biosynthesis of non-jasmonate phyto-oxylipins is likely controlled non-transcriptionally. Abstract Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) produced in plants can mediate their response to environmental stresses. Exogenous application of MeJA has also shown to activate signaling pathways and induce phytoalexin accumulation in many plant species. To understand how pomegranate plants respond biochemically to environmental stresses, metabolite analysis was conducted in pomegranate leaves subjected to MeJA application and revealed unique changes in hydrolyzable tannins, flavonoids, and phyto-oxylipins. Additionally, transcriptome and real-time qPCR analyses of mock- and MeJA-treated pomegranate leaves identified differentially expressed metabolic genes and transcription factors that are potentially involved in the control of hydrolyzable tannin, flavonoid, and phyto-oxylipin pathways. Molecular, biochemical, and bioinformatic characterization of the only lipoxygenase with sustained, MeJA-induced expression showed that it is capable of oxidizing polyunsaturated fatty acids, though not located in the subcellular compartment where non-jasmonate (non-JA) phyto-oxylipins were produced. These results collectively suggested that while the broad suppression of flavonoids and anthocyanins is at least partially controlled at the transcriptional level, the induced biosynthesis of non-JA phyto-oxylipins is likely not regulated transcriptionally. Overall, a better understanding of how pomegranate leaves respond to environmental stresses will not only promote plant health and productivity, but also have an impact on human health as fruits produced by pomegranate plants are a rich source of nutritional compounds.

Fish eggs of the ovate sole Solea ovata and black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegelii were identified through DNA barcoding of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COX1). Visual taxonomic features were achieved, and photographs of the eggs of both species at different developmental stages were reported for the first time. In addition, the dissolution of oil globules caused by ethanol as egg fixatives was observed. This result showed the importance of using formalin as egg fixatives in the case of morphometric analysis and the necessity of combining molecular and visual taxonomic method for morphological study.
