Global patterns and climate drivers of water‐use efficiency in terrestrial ecosystems deduced from satellite‐based datasets and carbon cycle models - Yan Sun; Shilong Piao; Mengtian Huang; Philippe Ciais; Zhenzhong Zeng; Lei Cheng; Xiran Li; Xinping Zhang; Jiafu Mao; Shushi Peng; Benjamin Poulter; Xiaoying Shi; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2016)
Aim To investigate how ecosystem water‐use efficiency ( WUE ) varies spatially under different climate conditions, and how spatial variations in WUE differ from those of transpiration‐based water‐use efficiency ( WUE t ) and transpiration‐based inherent water‐use efficiency ( IWUE t ). Location Global terrestrial ecosystems. Methods We investigated spatial patterns of WUE using two datasets of gross primary productivity ( GPP ) and evapotranspiration ( ET ) and four biosphere model estimates of GPP and ET . Spatial relationships between WUE and climate variables were further explored through regression analyses. Results Global WUE estimated by two satellite‐based datasets is 1.9 ± 0.1 and 1.8 ± 0.6 g C m −2 mm −1 lower than the simulations from four process‐based models (2.0 ± 0.3 g C m −2 mm −1 ) but comparable within the uncertainty of both approaches. In both satellite‐based datasets and process models, precipitation is more strongly associated with spatial gradients of WUE for temperate and tropical regions, but temperature dominates north of 50° N . WUE also increases with increasing solar radiation at high latitudes. The values of WUE from datasets and process‐based models are systematically higher in wet regions (with higher GPP ) than in dry regions. WUE t shows a lower precipitation sensitivity than WUE , which is contrary to leaf‐ and plant‐level observations. IWUE t , the product of WUE t and water vapour deficit, is found to be rather conservative with spatially increasing precipitation, in agreement with leaf‐ and plant‐level measurements. Main conclusions WUE , WUE t and IWUE t produce different spatial relationships with climate variables. In dry ecosystems, water losses from evaporation from bare soil, uncorrelated with productivity, tend to make WUE lower than in wetter regions. Yet canopy conductance is intrinsically efficient in those ecosystems and maintains a higher IWUE t . This suggests that the responses of each component flux of evapotranspiration should be analysed separately when investigating regional gradients in WUE , its temporal variability and its trends.

The antiquity of Cyclocarya paliurus (Juglandaceae) provides new insights into the evolution of relict plants in subtropical China since the late Early Miocene - Yixuan Kou; Shanmei Cheng; Shuang Tian; Bo Li; Dengmei Fan; Yongjun Chen; Douglas E. Soltis; Pamela S. Soltis; Zhiyong Zhang (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim The accumulation of supraspecific lineages in Asia has been linked to climatic changes and tectonic events starting in the Miocene, but few studies have extended the intraspecific history of relict plants in subtropical China back to the Early or Middle Miocene. In this study, we investigate the effects of events from the late Early Miocene onwards on the evolutionary history of a relict plant, Cyclocarya paliurus , in subtropical China. Location Subtropical China. Methods Sequence variation in two chloroplast intergenic spacers ( atp B –rbc L and psb A –trn H) and one nuclear gene ( PHYA ) was investigated across 57 populations of C. paliurus . Standard population genetic analyses, estimation of the most recent common ancestor of chloroplast haplotypes and diversification rate analyses were carried out, and Bayesian skyline plots were constructed. Results The time to the most recent common ancestor of all 17 chloroplast haplotypes in C. paliurus was 16.69 Ma (95% HPD 8.42–27.86 Ma), which largely coincides with the initial intensification of the Asian monsoon and global climate cooling during the Early to Middle Miocene. Chloroplast lineage diversification started to increase in the early Late Miocene, with peaks at c . 9.6 Ma and c . 3.6 Ma, corresponding temporally to two subsequent intensification events of the Asian monsoon. Bayesian skyline plots of both markers revealed that C. paliurus could have experienced at least two waves of expansion since the middle Pleistocene. The distributions of chlorotypes and clades were both consistent with a multiple‐refugia model but with strong signals of range expansion. Main conclusions This study provides a long evolutionary profile of an archaic plant species in subtropical China, dating from the late Early Miocene. Our results suggest that the occurrence of the Asian monsoon and associated tectonic events, as well as Pleistocene climate changes, had a pervasive influence on the phylogeographical structure of plants in subtropical China.

A novel soil manganese mechanism drives plant species loss with increased nitrogen deposition in a temperate steppe - Qiuying Tian; Nana Liu; Wenming Bai; Linghao Li; Jiquan Chen; Peter B. Reich; Qiang Yu; Dali Guo; Melinda D. Smith; Alan K. Knapp; Weixin Cheng; Peng Lu; et al. (Ecology, 2016)
Loss of plant diversity with increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition in grasslands has occurred globally. In most cases, competitive exclusion driven by preemption of light or space is invoked as a key mechanism. Here, we provide evidence from a 9‐yr N‐addition experiment for an alternative mechanism: differential sensitivity of forbs and grasses to increased soil manganese (Mn) levels. In Inner Mongolia steppes, increasing the N supply shifted plant community composition from grass–forb codominance (primarily Stipa krylovii and Artemisia frigida , respectively) to exclusive dominance by grass, with associated declines in overall species richness. Reduced abundance of forbs was linked to soil acidification that increased mobilization of soil Mn, with a 10‐fold greater accumulation of Mn in forbs than in grasses. The enhanced accumulation of Mn in forbs was correlated with reduced photosynthetic rates and growth, and is consistent with the loss of forb species. Differential accumulation of Mn between forbs and grasses can be linked to fundamental differences between dicots and monocots in the biochemical pathways regulating metal transport. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for N‐induced species loss in temperate grasslands by linking metal mobilization in soil to differential metal acquisition and impacts on key functional groups in these ecosystems.

CmpacC regulates mycoparasitism, oxalate degradation and antifungal activity in the mycoparasitic fungus C oniothyrium minitans - Yi Lou; Yongchao Han; Long Yang; Mingde Wu; Jing Zhang; Jiasen Cheng; Moying Wang; Daohong Jiang; Weidong Chen; Guoqing Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary The PacC /Rim101 pH ‐responsive transcription factor is an important pathogenicity element for many plant‐pathogenic fungi. In this study, we investigated the roles of a PacC homologue, CmpacC , in the mycoparasitic fungus C oniothyrium minitans . CmpacC was confirmed to have the transcriptional activation activity by the transcriptional activation test in S accharomyces cerevisiae . Disruption of CmpacC resulted in impaired fungal responses to ambient pH . Compared to the wild‐type, the CmpacC ‐disruption mutant Δ CmpacC ‐29 was significantly suppressed for activities of chitinase and β‐1,3‐glucanase at pH 5 and 7, consistent with reduced expression levels of Cmch1 and Cmg1 coding for the two enzymes respectively. However, the mutant displayed acidity‐mimicking phenotypes such as improved oxalate degradation and increased antifungal activity at pH 6 or higher. Improved efficacy in oxalate degradation by Δ CmpacC ‐29 was consistent with the enhanced expression level of Cmoxdc1 coding for oxalate decarboxylase. CmpacC transcriptional activation of Cmch1 and Cmg1 and repression of Cmoxdc1 were verified by the presence of the PacC /Rim101 consensus binding‐motifs in gene promoter regions and by the promoter DNA ‐binding assays. This study suggests that CmpacC plays an activator role in regulation of C . minitans mycoparasitism, whereas plays a repressor role in regulation of oxalate degradation and possibly antifungal activity of C . minitans .

Common carp ( Cyprinus carpio L.) exhibits significant morphological variability in the shape and size of the caudal fin. In this study, we used 190 progeny from two F 1 parents to identify and map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that influence caudal fin length ( CFL ) and the ratio ( RCS ) between caudal fin length and standard length ( SL ) based on a microsatellite genetic map of common carp. A total of 15 QTLs were detected in seven different linkage groups. One significant and eight suggestive QTLs affecting CFL were identified on LG8, LG14, LG29, LG32 and LG44, which explained 8.0%–22.1% of the phenotypic variation; six suggestive QTLs affecting RCS were detected on LG8, LG32, LG46 and LG48, which explained 7.0%–15.4% of the phenotypic variation. The QTLs for caudal fin length detected in this study may serve as a starting point for identification of genes involved in caudal fin development in common carp.

Oral cavity contains distinct niches with dynamic microbial communities - Xin Xu; Jinzhi He; Jing Xue; Yan Wang; Kun Li; Keke Zhang; Qiang Guo; Xianghong Liu; Yuan Zhou; Lei Cheng; Mingyun Li; Yuqing Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary Microbes colonize human oral surfaces within hours after delivery. During postnatal development, physiological changes, such as the eruption of primary teeth and replacement of the primary dentition with permanent dentition, greatly alter the microbial habitats, which, in return, may lead to community composition shifts at different phases in people's lives. By profiling saliva, supragingival and mucosal plaque samples from healthy volunteers at different ages and dentition stages, we observed that the oral cavity is a highly heterogeneous ecological system containing distinct niches with significantly different microbial communities. More importantly, the phylogenetic microbial structure varies with ageing. In addition, only a few taxa were present across the whole populations, indicating a core oral microbiome should be defined based on age and oral niches.

Summary To what extent the genomes of different species belonging to one genus can be diverse and the relationship between genomic differentiation and environmental factor remain unclear for oceanic bacteria. With many new bacterial genera and species being isolated from marine environments, this question warrants attention. In this study, we sequenced all the type strains of the published species of G laciecola , a recently defined cold‐adapted genus with species from diverse marine locations, to study the genomic diversity and cold‐adaptation strategy in this genus. The genome size diverged widely from 3.08 to 5.96 M b, which can be explained by massive gene gain and loss events. Horizontal gene transfer and new gene emergence contributed substantially to the genome size expansion. The genus G laciecola had an open pan‐genome. Comparative genomic research indicated that species of the genus G laciecola had high diversity in genome size, gene content and genetic relatedness. This may be prevalent in marine bacterial genera considering the dynamic and complex environments of the ocean. Species of G laciecola had some common genomic features related to cold adaptation, which enable them to thrive and play a role in biogeochemical cycle in the cold marine environments.
