Effects of Salinity on the Growth, Physiological Characteristics, and Intestinal Microbiota of the Echiura Worm (Urechis unicinctus) - Qiaojun Zheng; Yunjian Wang; Jiao Chen; Yunpeng Li; Feng Zhao; Danwen Liu; Maokai Wei; Dexu Kong; Zongtao Chen; Zhifeng Zhang; Yubin Ma (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Intertidal biota is subjected to significant fluctuations in salinity. Urechis unicinctus , a typical species thriving in intertidal sediments, have relatively simple anatomy structure and therefore could be considered as an ideal species for salinity acclimation. Moreover, due to the high nutrients, U. unicinctus has become an emerging aquaculture species in China. In this study, we investigated the effects of salinity on the growth performance, coelomic fluid biochemical indices, antioxidant enzyme system, Na + /K + -ATPase, and non-specific immune enzyme activities, as well as intestinal microbiota composition of this species in an 8-week experiment. The results indicated U. unicinctus is a euryhaline species that can tolerate salinities from 15‰ to 40‰ and demonstrated the highest growth performance at 30‰. Physiological characteristic analyses of coelomic fluid and intestines indicated that the salinity range of 15‰ to 30‰ is more suitable, while 10‰ and 40‰ salinity ranges seem unsuitable for juvenile U. unicinctus . Furthermore, intestinal microbiota analysis indicated salinity had a significant effect on the composition structure. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that antioxidant related metabolic pathways and amino acid metabolic pathways may play important roles in gut microbiota under salinity stress. Comprehensive analysis of intestinal bacteria and enzyme activities indicated Unidentified Rhodobacteraceae, Vibrio , and Shimia may play important roles in high salinity acclimation, while Legionellaceae may act as important microbiota in low salinity acclimation. Moreover, Ruminococcus , Oscillospira , Lachnospiraceae, Clostridiales, and S24-7 showed negative correlations with the antioxidant and nonspecific immune enzymes, indicating that these bacteria can be considered as important candidates of probiotics for U. unicinctus aquaculture industry. The findings of this study will extend our understanding of the effects of salinity on the growth and health of U. unicinctus and contribute to a better understanding of the salinity acclimation strategies of organisms in intertidal zones.

Exploring trait–performance relationships of tree seedlings along experimentally manipulated light and water gradients - Yuanzhi Li; Yuan Jiang; Kangning Zhao; Yang Chen; Wei Wei; Bill Shipley; Chengjin Chu (Ecology, 2022)
A foundational assumption of trait‐based ecology is that individual performances should be predicted by its functional traits. However, the trait–performance relationships reported in literature were typically weak, probably due to the ignorance of interactions between traits and environments, intraspecific trait variability, and hard traits (directly linked to physiological processes of interest). We conducted an experiment of planting 900 seedlings of six tree species separately (one seedling per pot) along experimentally manipulated light and water gradients, monitored their survival and growth, and measured their morphological, photosynthetic, and hydraulic traits. Most trait–performance relationships depended on the environments, either marginally changing (weak trait × environment interaction) or even reversing (strong trait × environment interaction) along light or water gradients in our experiment. Such trait × environment interactions were more likely to be detected in growth models using individual‐level traits than models using species mean traits, but seedling growth was not better modeled with individual‐level traits than species mean traits. Additionally, none of the hard traits (photosynthetic and hydraulic traits) were better predictors than soft traits (morphological traits) modeling seedling growth and survival along light and water gradients. Our study highlights the necessities of considering trait × environment interactions when predicting response of plants to changing environments. The benefits of using individual‐level traits or hard traits to predict plant performance might be reduced or even canceled if their measurement errors are not well controlled.

Hydrodynamic Responses of a Barge-Type Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Integrated with an Aquaculture Cage - Yuting Zhai; Haisheng Zhao; Xin Li; Wei Shi (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The dynamic responses of a new structure combining a barge-type floating offshore wind turbine and an aquaculture cage is investigated numerically. First, a 5 MW barge-type floating offshore wind turbine with an aquaculture cage (FOWT-AC) is designed and the numerical model is established in ANSYS-AQWA. The numerical model of the barge-type FOWT-AC is then checked, and the natural periods of the six degrees of freedom motion satisfy the recommendations of the DNV specification. Based on the reasonable model, the comparison study of dynamic responses between the barge-type FOWT-AC and FOWT under the environmental conditions of the South China Sea is carried out, and it is observed that the FOWT-AC produces a basically lower standard deviation of the motion responses. To investigate the new structure of the barge-type FOWT-AC deeply, the analyses of second-order hydrodynamic response, typical environmental conditions and the mooring line breaking scenario are carried out. The simulation results show that the second-order wave loads increase the dynamic response of the barge-type FOWT-AC slightly unless it causes resonance for the structure. In addition, the motion responses of the floating structures increase significantly when the currents are applied, especially when the aquaculture cage is integrated into the barge-type FOWT. When one of the mooring lines connected to the offshore or onshore side of the platform breaks, the presence of the aquaculture cage results in a smaller standard deviation in the motion responses of the coupled structure, which means that the barge-type FOWT-AC structure is more stable.

Investigation of genome-wide InDel distribution and segregation in Populus with restriction-site associated DNA sequencing data - Zhiliang Pan; Zhiting Li; Jinpeng Zhang; Shengjun Bai; Wei Zhao; Chunfa Tong (Tropical Plant Biology, 2022)
Insertion or deletion polymorphism (InDel) is one of the main genetic variations in plant genomes. However, there are few studies on InDels across the whole genome in Populus . In this study, we investigated genome-wide InDels in Populus deltoides and Populus simonii and InDel segregation in their F 1 hybrid population with restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) data. A total of 119,066 InDels were identified in P. deltoides and P. simonii according to the reference genome of Populus trichocarpa , including 58,532 unique InDels in P. deltoides , 54,469 unique InDels in P. simonii , and 6,065 common InDels in both. Meanwhile, the distribution of these InDels was analyzed along chromosomes, indicating that the distribution patterns for both species were largely similar, but the average InDel density was slightly higher in P. deltoides than in P. simonii . GO annotation and enrichment analysis of those genes harboring InDels showed the same patterns between the two poplar species. It is interesting to find that the ratio (~ 46%) of the common InDels within genes to all common InDels was higher than that of the InDels within genes to all InDels in P. deltoides (~ 35%) or in P. simonii (~ 34%), possibly indicating that those InDels are more conservative between poplar species. Moreover, investigation of the InDel segregation patterns demonstrated that a large number of Mendelian InDels could be selected for genetic mapping in the F 1 hybrid population. RAD-seq provides genome-wide insights into the InDel distributions in P. deltoides and P. simonii and the segregation patterns in their progeny, providing valuable genomic variation information for genetic and evolutionary studies in Populus .

Tennessenoid A, an Unprecedented Steroid−Sorbicillinoid Adduct From the Marine-Derived Endophyte of Aspergillus sp. Strain 1022LEF - Dong-Lin Zhao; Hai-Su Wang; Li-Wei Gao; Peng Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Marine natural products, characterized by fascinating drug-like functionalities and promising biological activities, are important base materials for innovative drugs and agrochemicals. Chemical investigations of the marine-algal-derived endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. 1022LEF residing in the inner tissue of marine red alga yielded a novel polyketide-terpene hybrid metabolite, namely tennessenoid A ( 1 ), as well as six known biosynthetic congeners including two steroids, ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one ( 2 ) and (22 E ,24 R )-3α-ureido-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraene ( 3 ), and four sorbicillinoid-based compounds, saturnispol G ( 4 ), trichodimerol ( 5 ), and dihydrotrichodimer ethers A and B ( 6 and 7 ). Their structures were unambiguously determined based on extensive 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analyses. Tennessenoid A ( 1 ) was characterized as an unprecedented steroid−sorbicillinoid adduct via a C−C bond, which was rarely-observed in natural products. All of the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activities against eight plant pathogenetic fungi. 1 , in particular, demonstrated broad-spectrum activities against Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., Fusarium oxysporum (Schl.) F.sp cucumerinum Owen, Coniella diplodiella Petrak et Sydow, Physalospora piricola Nose., Fusarium graminearum schw., Alternaria mali rob., Colletotrichum orbiculare Arx., and Alternaria porri (E11iott) Cifed., with the inhibition zone diameters ranging from 2 to 7 mm.

Transcriptomic Signatures of Pearl Oyster Pinctada Maxima in Response to Acute Salinity Stress - Haijun Wei; Mingqiang Chen; Zhenghua Deng; Jing Sun; Jingru Yang; Wang Zhao; Youning Li; Zhenhua Ma; Yu Wang; Gang Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Acute salinity stress can impact many physiological processes of marine shellfish. The responses of Pinctada maxima to salinity stress, especially the osmotic pressure regulation and immune response, are of great significance to health. To investigate the molecular changes in response to acute salinity stress, the pearl oysters were transferred from 30 ppt (C) to 40 ppt (HS) and 20 ppt (LS) for 12 h, and the transcriptome analysis was conducted on the gills. Compared to the control, there were 6613 (3253 up-regulated and 3360 down-regulated) differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 4395 (2180 up-regulated and 2215 down-regulated) DEGs observed in HS and LS, respectively. The related molecular biological processes and potential functions were explored from enrichment analysis. A total of 332 KEGG pathways (including 1514 genes) and 308 KEGG pathways (including 731 genes) were enriched in C vs. HS and C vs. LS, respectively. In addition, there are 1559 DEGs shared by C vs. HS group and C vs. LS group, and the results of the KEGG function annotation showed that 7 DEGs were involved in membrane transport, and 34 DEGs were involved in the immune system. The correlation network for expression of genes shows that the expression of 3 genes was significantly correlated with each other in membrane transport, and there were significant correlations between the expression of 27 genes in immune response. The results of this study will be of great value in understanding the molecular basis of salinity stress adaptation in the pearl oyster P. maxima .

Ginsenoside Rg1 Reduced Microglial Activation and Mitochondrial Dysfunction to Alleviate Depression-Like Behaviour Via the GAS5/EZH2/SOCS3/NRF2 Axis - Junnan Li; Wei Gao; Zhonghui Zhao; Yannan Li; Lixuan Yang; Wei Wei; Feifei Ren; Yang Li; Yao Yu; Wenzhe Duan; Jingchun Li; Baoan Dai; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Ginsenoside Rg1 is the principal active ingredient in ginseng. The antidepressant effects of Rg1 have been validated; however, the specific underlying mechanism of this effect needs further research. Rats were subjected to the chronic restraint stress (CRS) depression model. Rg1, or a positive control drug, was administered to the rats. Depression-like behaviours were evaluated through behavioural experiments. Cytokine, mRNA, protein, ATP, and mitochondria DNA levels were detected using the indicated methods. Lentivirus-packaged plasmids were injected into the rat brain for GAS5 overexpression or knockdown. In vitro mitochondrial dysfunction was evaluated by detecting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial membrane potential. Direct interaction between GAS5 and EZH2 was validated by RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull-down assay. The enrichment of EZH2 and H3K27me3 was evaluated through chromatin immunoprecipitation quantitative real-time PCR. Rg1 treatment alleviated depression-like behaviours, microglial activation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in CRS rats. Similarly, GAS5 knockdown revealed a similar protective effect of Rg1 treatment. GAS5 overexpression in the rat brain compromised the protective effect of Rg1 treatment. Moreover, Rg1 treatment or GAS5 knockdown attenuated microglial activation and mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro. Mechanically, GAS5 was suppressed SOCS3 and NRF2 expression by facilitating EZH2-mediated transcriptional repression. Rg1 attenuated microglial activation and improved mitochondrial dysfunction in depression by downregulating GAS5 expression. Mechanically, GAS5 might regulate microglial activation and mitochondrial dysfunction via the epigenetic suppression of NRF2 and SOCS3.

Channel catfish virus ORF25 and ORF63 genes are essential for viral replication in vitro - Xiaodong Zhang; Kai Hao; Shuxin Li; Lihui Meng; Hongxun Chen; Fucheng Wei; Fei Yu; Jing Xu; Zhe Zhao (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
The channel catfish virus (CCV) is a lethal pathogen to aquatic animals that can provoke severe haemorrhagic disease in juvenile channel catfish. Although the CCV genome has been fully sequenced, the molecular mechanisms of CCV infection and pathogenesis are less well known. Genomic DNA replication is a necessary and key event for the CCV life cycle. In this study, the impacts of the putative helicase and primase encoded by viral ORF25 and ORF63 on CCV genome replication and infection were evaluated in channel catfish ovary (CCO) cells. The results showed that the number of CCV genome copies was decreased significantly in virus‐infected CCO cells after knockdown of ORF25 and ORF63 using RNA interference. In contrast, the overexpression of ORF25 and ORF63 led to slight increase in the number of virus genome copies. Consistent with the above results, the present results also showed that the expressions of CCV true‐late genes which strictly depend on viral DNA replication, were significantly increased or repressed by overexpression or RNA interference targeting viral ORF25 and ORF63 genes in virus‐infected CCO cells. In addition, knockdown of ORF25 and ORF63 remarkably inhibited CCV‐induced cytopathic effects and decreased progeny virus titres in CCO cells. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy observation of CCO cells infected with CCV accompanied by siRNA targeting the viral ORF25 and ORF63 genes showed that the number of virus particles was remarkably reduced. Taken together, these results indicated that ORF25 and ORF63 are essential for regulating CCV genome replication and CCV‐induced infection. Our findings will provide an understanding of the replication mechanisms of CCV and contribute to the development of antiviral strategies for controlling CCV infection in channel catfish culture.

Influences of the 1855 AD Huanghe (Yellow River) Relocation on Sedimentary Organic Carbon Burial in the Southern Yellow Sea - Jianying Liu; Da-Wei Li; Yang Ding; Tiantian Ge; Weifang Chen; Chih-An Huh; Meixun Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The Huanghe (Yellow River) supplies large amount of sediments and terrestrial organic carbon (OC) to the eastern Chinese marginal seas. A relocation of the Huanghe outlet from the southern Yellow Sea (YS) to the Bohai Sea occurred in 1855 AD, however, detailed knowledge about the impact of this relocation on sedimentary source and OC burial in Chinese marginal seas is still critically lacking. In this study, we present total OC content and its isotope (δ 13 C), along with bulk total organic carbon (TOC)/total nitrogen (TN) molar ratio and lipid biomarker contents, in a sediment core HH12 from the southern YS with sediment age spanning the last 300 years. We find that TOC and terrestrial lipid biomarker mass accumulation rates were lower between 1855 AD and 1950 AD than that prior to 1855 AD in core HH12; and in accordance, both TOC/TN ratio and δ 13 C records indicate a gradual decrease of terrigenous source contributions to sedimentary OC. This suggests that the relocation of the Huanghe outlet reduced the transport of terrestrial OC to the southern YS. However, the δ 13 C record also indicates a relative increase of terrestrial OC contribution to sedimentary OC after 1950 AD, and the most likely explanation is increased contributions from the old Huanghe delta erosion and Korean rivers. Future studies should focus on better constraining the variations of terrestrial and marine endmembers with δ 13 C and Δ 14 C analyses of specific biomarkers to examine these linkages.

Significant winter CO 2 uptake by saline lakes on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau - Xiao‐Yan Li; Fang‐Zhong Shi; Yu‐Jun Ma; Shao‐Jie Zhao; Jun‐Qi Wei (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Direct measuring of CO 2 flux remains challenging for global lakes. The traditional sampling and gas transfer models used to estimate lake CO 2 fluxes are variable and uncertain, and ice‐covered periods are often excluded from the annual carbon budget. Here, the first longtime (2013−2017) direct measurement of CO 2 flux by eddy covariance system over the largest saline lake (Qinghai lake) in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) revealed that ice‐covered period draws large amounts of CO 2 from the atmosphere (−0.87 ± 0.38 g C m −2 d −1 ), a value more than twice the CO 2 flux rate during the ice‐free period (−0.41 ± 0.35 g C m −2 d −1 ). The total CO 2 uptake by all saline lakes on the QTP was estimated to −10.28 ± 1.65 Tg C yr −1 , an equivalent to approximately one third of the net terrestrial ecosystems carbon sink in QTP. Our results indicate large sink for CO 2 in winter is controlled by both seasonal hydrochemistry processes and lake ice absorption in saline lakes. This research also demonstrates decreasing CO 2 uptake from the atmosphere by saline lakes on the QTP, which may turn carbon sinks to carbon sources with future warming.

Dysfunction of FadA‐cAMP signalling decreases Aspergillus flavus resistance to antimicrobial natural preservative Perillaldehyde and AFB1 biosynthesis - Kunlong Yang; Qingru Geng; Yue Luo; Rui Xie; Tongzheng Sun; Zhen Wang; Ling Qin; Wei Zhao; Man Liu; Yongxin Li; Jun Tian (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that colonizes agriculture crops with aflatoxin contamination. We found that Perillaldehyde (PAE) effectively inhibited A . flavus viability and aflatoxin production by inducing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). Transcriptome analysis indicated that the Gα protein FadA was significantly induced by PAE. Functional characterization of FadA showed it is important for asexual development and aflatoxin biosynthesis by regulation of cAMP‐PKA signalling. The Δ fadA mutant was more sensitive to PAE, while Δ pdeL and Δ pdeH mutants can tolerate excess PAE compared to wild‐type A . flavus . Further RNA‐sequence analysis showed that fadA was important for expression of genes involved in oxidation–reduction and cellular metabolism. The flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that Δ fadA accumulated more concentration of ROS in cells, and the transcriptome data indicated that genes involved in ROS scavenging were downregulated in Δ fadA mutant. We further found that FadA participated in regulating response to extracellular environmental stresses by increasing phosphorylation levels of MAPK Kinase Slt2 and Hog1. Overall, our results indicated that FadA signalling engages in mycotoxin production and A . flavus resistance to antimicrobial PAE, which provide valuable information for controlling this fungus and AF biosynthesis in pre‐ and postharvest of agricultural crops.

Ecdysis Triggering Hormone, Eclosion Hormone, and Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide Play Essential but Different Roles in the Molting Process of Mud Crab, Scylla paramamosain - Yan-Fei Zhao; Qi-Qiao Wen; Chun-Mei Ao; Wei Wang; Li-Li Shi; Cheng-Gui Wang; Siuming-Francis Chan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Molting behavior in insects is controlled by the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), eclosion hormone (EH) and the crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP). At present, the regulation of molting behavior in crustaceans remains unclear. Here, we studied the roles of ETH , EH , and CCAP in the molt regulation of the crab, Scylla paramamosain from their expression pattern and in vivo assays. The results showed that transcripts of ETH , EH , and CCAP were mainly localized in thoracic ganglia and fluctuated periodically with the molting cycle. When ETH or CCAP was knockdown at early premolt stage (D0), molting of crabs was interrupted and all animals died at late premolt stage (D2). While the EH gene was knock-down, most crabs were dead before D2. Injection of synthetic peptide for ETH or CCAP rescued ETH - or CCAP -gene knock-down crabs separately. However, none of peptides could rescue dsEH -injected crabs. At D0 stage, knockdown of ETH down-regulated the transcriptions of EH and CCAP ; while ETH was up-regulated when EH was knockdown. At D2 stage, ETH transcripts levels were reduced with the injection of dsEH but increased with the same dose of dsETH as crabs at D0 stage. Co-injection of ds ETH and ds EH down-regulated ETH at D2 stage. Results showed that ETH , EH , and CCAP play essential but different roles in molt regulation in mud crab. In summary, the result of this study contributes to the discovery of different molecular mechanisms between Insecta and Crustacea and may provide insight to develop fishery drugs that helps aquacultured crustaceans to molt successfully.

Zonal Distribution Characteristics of Microplastics in the Southern Indian Ocean and the Influence of Ocean Current - Jingxi Li; Fenglei Gao; Di Zhang; Wei Cao; Chang Zhao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
As a new type of pollutant, microplastics widely exist in the marine environment and have attracted a lot of attention from the international community. In order to study the distribution of microplastics and the influence of ocean current, microplastic samples in seawater of the southern Indian Ocean were collected using a peristaltic pump equipped on-board and concentrated on site. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of microplastics were performed using a stereo-microscope and a micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscope attenuated total reflection. The results showed that the average abundance of microplastics in seawater of the southern Indian Ocean was 2.3 ± 2.1 items/m3, which was consistent with that in other oceans. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), Rayon, polyamide (PA), and polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) were the main polymers of microplastics in the southern Indian Ocean. The size range of all detected microplastics was 108.2–4703.0 µm. All microplastics had different colors, such as black, red, yellow, gray, blue, green, purple, and transparent. Fiber was the dominant shape of microplastics. The abundance distribution of microplastics fluctuated in the latitudinal direction. The abundance of microplastics from the present study area was higher in the coastal region of the South Africa continent and the Indian Ocean garbage patch, with an average abundance of 4.0 items/m3. The average abundance of microplastics was relatively high in the convergence area of the circulation, which revealed that the ocean current facilitated the agglomeration and transportation of microplastics.

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.

Temporal dynamics in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) are significant for environmental protection and economic development in the Mongolian Plateau grasslands (MPGs). Climate control of ANPP's temporal variations has intensified in response to local meteorological conditions, while the contributions of large‐scale atmospheric circulations to ANPP variations are poorly understood in the MPGs. First, we explored the temporal dynamics in annual ANPP, and then, we analyzed correlations among annual ANPP, local meteorological variables, and three different teleconnections during 1982–2015 in this study. Our analytical results indicated that (a) ANPP exhibited an increasing trend during the entire study period. However, the increasing trend did not persist, and two reversals occurred in 1998 and 2007. (b) ANPP variations were primarily influenced by summer precipitation in most regions and by summer precipitation and temperature together in other regions of the MPGs. (c) The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) in winter negatively dominated annual ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation and summer temperature in central Mongolia. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in winter exerted strong positive impacts on ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation in Inner Mongolia, China. The East Atlantic Western Russia (EAWR) in spring controlled annual ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation in western and eastern Mongolia. (d) The winter AMO, winter NAO and spring EAWR significantly dominated the annual ANPP variations in 49.78% of the MPGs, with values of 18.90, 9.81 and 21.07%, respectively. (e) Reversals of the winter AMO, winter NAO and spring EAWR between negative and positive phases resulted in two reversals of ANPP trends. This study will improve our understanding of the role of large‐scale atmospheric circulations in regulating ANPP variations and will be valuable in guiding the development of grazing land management in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China.

A single nucleotide polymorphism in an R2R3 MYB transcription factor gene triggers the male sterility in soybean ms6 (Ames1) - Junping Yu; Guolong Zhao; Wei Li; Ying Zhang; Peng Wang; Aigen Fu; Limei Zhao; Chunbao Zhang; Min Xu (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message Identification and functional analysis of the male sterile gene MS6 in Glycine max . Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr . ) is an important crop providing vegetable oil and protein. The male sterility-based hybrid breeding is a promising method for improving soybean yield to meet the globally growing demand. In this research, we identified a soybean genic male sterile locus, MS6 , by combining the bulked segregant analysis sequencing method and the map-based cloning technology. MS6 , highly expressed in anther, encodes an R2R3 MYB transcription factor (GmTDF1-1) that is homologous to Tapetal Development and Function 1, a key factor for anther development in Arabidopsis and rice. In male sterile ms6 (Ames1), the mutant allele contains a missense mutation, leading to the 76th leucine substituted by histidine in the DNA binding domain of GmTDF1-1. The expression of soybean MS6 under the control of the AtTDF1 promoter could rescue the male sterility of attdf1 but ms6 could not. Additionally, ms6 overexpression in wild-type Arabidopsis did not affect anther development. These results evidence that GmTDF1-1 is a functional TDF1 homolog and L76H disrupts its function. Notably, GmTDF1-1 shows 92% sequence identity with another soybean protein termed as GmTDF1-2, whose active expression also restored the fertility of attdf1 . However, GmTDF1-2 is constitutively expressed at a very low level in soybean, and therefore, not able to compensate for the MS6 deficiency. Analysis of the TDF1-involved anther development regulatory pathway showed that expressions of the genes downstream of TDF1 are significantly suppressed in ms6 , unveiling that GmTDF1-1 is a core transcription factor regulating soybean anther development.

miR-491-3p is Downregulated in Retinoblastoma and Inhibit Tumor Cells Growth and Metastasis by Targeting SNN - Yang Hu; Ming Zhao; Li Li; Jie Ding; Yu-Min Gui; Tan-Wei Wei (Biochemical Genetics, 2021)
Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common pediatric malignant tumor of the eyes. Previous studies demonstrated that miR-491-3p is downregulated in various cancers. However, its function in Rb remains unknown. A total of 15 pairs of primary Rb tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues were collected. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to investigate the expression profiles of miR-491-3p. qRT-PCR, western blotting and in situ immunocytochemistry were performed to investigate the expression profiles of epithelial–mesenchymal transition-related proteins (E-cadherin, Vimentin and N-cadherin) in Rb tissues and Rb cell lines as well as cell morphology. Cell proliferation was estimated by MTS and colony formation assays. Apoptosis was determined by FACS, cell migration and invasion were analyzed using transwell chambers. MiR-491-3p’s target genes were predicted using target gene prediction databases. The interplay between miR-491-3p and SNN was evaluated through dual luciferase reporter gene assay. MiR-491-3p was significantly downregulated in mixed collection of 15 pairs of Rb tissues and Rb cell lines. Overexpression of miR-491-3p enhanced apoptosis, and significantly suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion of Rb cells. In contrast, the present of miR-491-3p inhibitor showed reversed results which apoptosis decreased, while cell proliferation of ARPE-19 cells increased. In addition, miR-491-3p increased the expression of E-cadherin, and dramatically decreased the expression of Vimentin and N-cadherin in Rb tissues and Rb cell lines, noticeable changes in morphology, too, as cells became less cohesive and more adhering. We found out that SNN was the pairing target of miR-491-3p and result showed that miR-491-3p and SNN interacted with each other. We also found out that the effects of miR-491-3p were in Rb cells were almost entirely canceled out at the overexpression of SNN. Our findings collectively suggest that miR-491-3p is an important tumor suppressor in Rb, which inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in Rb. These implicate it may be explored as a new therapeutic target in Rb.

Huang-huai sheep are a new multiparous mutton sheep breed that has been cultivated by domestic scientific research institutes, governments, and sheep farms in China. Huang-huai sheep were bred using Dorper sheep as a sire and Small-tailed Han sheep as a dam. The breeding of Huang-huai sheep started in 2003, and three stages have been carried out: crossbreeding innovation, fixation in a two-way-crossbred closed flock, and herd propagation. A pilot test of Huang-huai sheep was conducted on 6 sheep farms from 2017 to 2018, and hereditary properties and production performance were evaluated in 2019. Huang-huai sheep were identified on site by the National Livestock and Poultry Resources Committee of China in December 2019 and approved as a new multiparous mutton sheep breed in China. The genetic distance showed that Huang-huai sheep are most closely related to Dorper sheep, Luxi black-headed sheep, and Small-tailed Han sheep, but the genetic distances are subspecies (0.02–0.20) each other. The body weights of adult Huang-huai sheep are 98.1 ± 5.2 kg (♂) and 71.7 ± 3.5 kg (♀), and those of 6-month-old Huang-huai sheep are 58.50 ± 6.55 kg (♂) and 52.45 ± 5.67 kg (♀). The slaughter rates of 6-month-old sheep are 56.02 ± 1.25% (♂) and 53.19 ± 1.19% (♀). The estrus cycle of Huang-huai sheep is 19.32 ± 2.8 days, the first estrus cycle occurs at 168 ± 12 days, the annual lambing rate of ewes is 252.82% ± 10.69%, the survival rate of lambs is 95.79 ± 0.95%, and the number of weaned lambs per ewe per year is 2.38 ± 0.14. The growth performance, carcass quality, and reproductive performance of Huang-huai sheep have been improved, resulting in considerable economic and social benefits and broader market prospects. This breed represents a new multiparous mutton sheep breed adapted for industrial sheep farms in China.

Ranking and Rating Bicycle Helmet Safety Performance in Oblique Impacts Using Eight Different Brain Injury Models - Madelen Fahlstedt; Fady Abayazid; Matthew B.

Bicycle helmets are shown to offer protection against head injuries. Rating methods and test standards are used to evaluate different helmet designs and safety performance. Both strain-based injury criteria obtained from finite element brain injury models and metrics derived from global kinematic responses can be used to evaluate helmet safety performance. Little is known about how different injury models or injury metrics would rank and rate different helmets. The objective of this study was to determine how eight brain models and eight metrics based on global kinematics rank and rate a large number of bicycle helmets (n=17) subjected to oblique impacts. The results showed that the ranking and rating are influenced by the choice of model and metric. Kendall’s tau varied between 0.50 and 0.95 when the ranking was based on maximum principal strain from brain models. One specific helmet was rated as 2-star when using one brain model but as 4-star by another model. This could cause confusion for consumers rather than inform them of the relative safety performance of a helmet. Therefore, we suggest that the biomechanics community should create a norm or recommendation for future ranking and rating methods.
