Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

Designing and the Pilot Trial of Bivalve Molluscan Fishing Quotas on Maoming Coastal Waters of China, Northern South China Sea - Shaoliang Lyu; Siman Deng; Kun Lin; Jiawei Zeng; Xuefeng Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In the context of the declining fishery resources, some active management measures have been taken to strive for the sustainable development of fisheries. However, these input-oriented control management measures have not realized the expectation in alleviating the depressing depletion of fishery resources. The fishing quota (FQ) system, an output-oriented control management method, has been proved to be effective in curbing overfishing and conserving fishery resources. However, it has not been formally implemented in China until now. Thus, it is urgent to start the pilot trial on the implementation of the FQ system in China. We firstly formulated a framework for the FQ system on bivalve fisheries and then conducted an empirical analysis based on the field survey of bivalve mollusks in Maoming shallow waters, Guangdong, northern South China Sea. The species composition, dominant species, and density distribution of bivalves were analyzed. The swept-area method was used to assess the total allowable catch (TAC) of bivalves. Each step of the FQ system was discussed in depth. Results showed that a total of 45 bivalve species were identified. Meretrix planisulcata and Ruditapes philippinarum were the two dominant species. The spatial distribution of density varied largely. The estimated TAC value is 4.28 × 10 5 kg which can be allocated to fishermen under the regulations of the FQ system. Finally, the framework for the FQ system was improved in every step of the future procedure, including target species selection, TAC determination, quota allocation, catch report, and fishing supervision. The general framework of the FQ system in this study can also be referenced to other economically important fish or other marine organisms.

Genetic and biological characteristics of the globally circulating H5N8 avian influenza viruses and the protective efficacy offered by the poultry vaccine currently used in China - Pengfei Cui; Xianying Zeng; Xuyong Li; Yanbing Li; Jianzhong Shi; Conghui Zhao; Zhiyuan Qu; Yanwen Wang; Jing Guo; Wenli Gu; Qi Ma; Yuancheng Zhang; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
The H5N8 avian influenza viruses have been widely circulating in wild birds and are responsible for the loss of over 33 million domestic poultry in Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Asia since January 2020. To monitor the invasion and spread of the H5N8 virus in China, we performed active surveillance by analyzing 317 wild bird samples and swab samples collected from 41,172 poultry all over the country. We isolated 22 H5N8 viruses from wild birds and 14 H5N8 viruses from waterfowls. Genetic analysis indicated that the 36 viruses formed two different genotypes: one genotype viruses were widely detected from different wild birds and domestic waterfowls; the other genotype was isolated from a whopper swan. We further revealed the origin and spatiotemporal spread of these two distinct H5N8 virus genotypes in 2020 and 2021. Animal studies indicated that the H5N8 isolates are highly pathogenic to chickens, mildly pathogenic in ducks, but have distinct pathotypes in mice. Moreover, we found that vaccinated poultry in China could be completely protected against H5N8 virus challenge. Given that the H5N8 viruses are likely to continue to spread in wild birds, vaccination of poultry is highly recommended in high-risk countries to prevent H5N8 avian influenza.

Background Previous studies suggested that CXCL12 was involved in the development, metastasis, and invasion of breast cancer, and genetic variants were associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with breast cancer. The present study was aimed to assess the relationships between CXCL12 polymorphisms (rs1801157, rs2297630, and rs2839693) and susceptibility and clinicopathological features of breast cancer. Methods A case-control study was conducted in 434 breast cancer patients and 450 health controls. Student t -test and chi-square test were used to analyze the differences of age distribution and genotype frequencies between the two groups. Correlations between polymorphisms and clinical parameters were also assessed by chi-square test. The potential effects of the three polymorphisms on CXCL12 were investigated by the public database. Results A statistical association was found between CXCL12 rs1801157 polymorphism and breast cancer risk, possibility of metastasis, and estrogen receptor status. Patients with rs2839693 C/T or C/T-T/T genotypes were more likely to be progesterone receptor-negative. However, no associations of rs2297630 polymorphism with breast cancer risk or any clinicopathological characteristics were observed. In addition, rs2297630 affected the splicing quantitative trait loci of CXCL12 in the subcutaneous fat, rs2839693 polymorphism affected the splicing quantitative trait loci of CXCL12 in the human breast mammary tissues. Conclusions Those results indicated that CXCL12 polymorphisms might be potential diagnostic indicators, and more investigation is needed in the future.

Melatonin Reduces Neuroinflammation and Improves Axonal Hypomyelination by Modulating M1/M2 Microglia Polarization via JAK2-STAT3-Telomerase Pathway in Postnatal Rats Exposed to Lipopolysaccharide - Qiuping Zhou; Lanfen Lin; Haiyan Li; Huifang Wang; Shuqi Jiang; Peixian Huang; Qiongyu Lin; Xuan Chen; Yiyu Deng (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Microglia activation and associated inflammation are implicated in the periventricular white matter damage (PWMD) in septic postnatal rats. This study investigated whether melatonin would mitigate inflammation and alleviate the axonal hypomyelination in the corpus callosum in septic postnatal rats. We further explored if this might be related to the modulation of microglial polarization from M1 phenotype to M2 through the JAK2/STAT3/telomerase pathway. We reported here that indeed melatonin not only can it reduce the neurobehavioral disturbances in LPS-injected rats, but it can also dampen microglia-mediated inflammation. Thus, in LPS + melatonin group, the expression of proinflammatory mediators in M1 phenotype microglia was downregulated. As opposed to this, M2 microglia were increased which was accompanied by upregulated expression of anti-inflammatory mediators along with telomerase reverse transcriptase or melatonin receptor 1(MT1). In parallel to this was decreased NG2 expression but increased expression of myelin and neurofilament proteins. Melatonin can improve hypomyelination which was confirmed by electron microscopy. In vitro in primary microglia stimulated by LPS, melatonin decreased the expression of proinflammatory mediators significantly; but it increased the expression of anti-inflammatory mediators. Additionally, the expression levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly elevated in microglia after melatonin treatment. Remarkably, the effect of melatonin on LPS-treated microglia was blocked by melatonin receptor, JAK2, STAT3 and telomerase reverse transcriptase inhibitors, respectively. Taken together, it is concluded that melatonin can attenuate PWMD through shifting M1 microglia towards M2 via MT1/JAK2/STAT3/telomerase pathway. The results suggest a new therapeutic strategy whereby melatonin may be adopted to convert microglial polarization from M1 to M2 phenotype that would ultimately contribute to the attenuation of PWMD.

Intensity and microphysical properties surrounding the rapid intensification in landfalling Super Typhoons over China during the summer and autumn seasons - Lin Deng; Yang Zhao; Wenhua Gao; Lulin Xue; Yihong Duan (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
This study investigates the seasonal intensity variabilities of typhoons (TYs) over the western North Pacific that made landfall in the mainland China during the summer (June–August) and autumn (September–November) seasons for the period of 1979–2017. Using the latest climate reanalysis dataset (ERA5), cloud microphysical properties surrounding the rapid intensification (RI) period within the Super TYs (the maximum wind speed exceeding 51 ms −1 ) are explored to verify whether there exists microphysical precursor in TY intensity change like RI. The major results are: (a) The total number of landfalling TYs in summer is 188, almost two times of the number in autumn, and 25.5% of them can reach the Super TYs category, while 39.5% of the landfalling TYs in autumn became Super TYs with a shorter lifespan. (b) At least half of the summer and autumn cases have undergone the RI before they reached their maximum intensity, and more autumn cases experienced RI as they approached the coastal areas. (c) Snow and rain contents within the vortex exhibit consistent increasing trends during the RI period in both seasons. It is found that ice and snow contents show relatively distinct increase prior to the intensity change during the RI period in autumn cases, while no obvious signal exists in summer. The short‐term microphysical change and the released latent heat may be insufficient in supporting the onset of RI in Super TYs, and the differences of large‐scale environmental conditions between summer and autumn are mostly responsible for the distinct evolutions of intensity and microphysical characteristics in such strong systems.

Chronic Exposure to Hypoxia Inhibits Myelinogenesis and Causes Motor Coordination Deficits in Adult Mice - Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Rui-Xue Li; Kun Liu; Jing-Fei Chen; Yu-Jian Yang; Yong-Bin Deng; Han-Zhi Wang; Lan Xiao; Feng Mei; Fei Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Exposure to chronic hypoxia is considered to be a risk factor for deficits in brain function in adults, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Since active myelinogenesis persists in the adult central nervous system, here we aimed to investigate the impact of chronic hypoxia on myelination and the related functional consequences in adult mice. Using a transgenic approach to label newly-generated myelin sheaths ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP ), we found that myelinogenesis was highly active in most brain regions, such as the motor cortex and corpus callosum. After exposure to hypoxia (10% oxygen) 12 h per day for 4 weeks, myelinogenesis was largely inhibited in the 4-month old brain and the mice displayed motor coordination deficits revealed by the beam-walking test. To determine the relationship between the inhibited myelination and functional impairment, we induced oligodendroglia-specific deletion of the transcription factor Olig2 by tamoxifen ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP; Olig2 fl/fl ) in adult mice to mimic the decreased myelinogenesis caused by hypoxia. The deletion of Olig2 inhibited myelinogenesis and consequently impaired motor coordination, suggesting that myelinogenesis is required for motor function in adult mice. To understand whether enhancing myelination could protect brain functions against hypoxia, we treated hypoxic mice with the myelination-enhancing drug-clemastine, which resulted in enhanced myelogenesis and improved motor coordination. Taken together, our data indicate that chronic hypoxia inhibits myelinogenesis and causes functional deficits in the brain and that enhancing myelinogenesis protects brain functions against hypoxia-related deficits.

Stenotrophomonas strain CPCC 101271, an intestinal lifespan-prolonging bacterium for Caenorhabditis elegans that assists in host resistance to “Bacillus nematocida” colonization - Rui Han; Yu Wang; Yang Deng; Yuqin Zhang; Lin Zhang; Qiuhong Niu (Archives of Microbiology, 2021)
The soil-dwelling, opportunistic pathogenic bacterium "Bacillus nematocida" B16 exhibits strong killing activities against a variety of pathogenic nematodes via a “Trojan horse” mechanism that can kill worm species like Caenorhabditis elegans . The bacterial strain CPCC 101271 was previously isolated from the intestines of C. elegans that were recovered from natural habitats and can serve as a probiotic for C. elegans , while also assisting in resistance to infection by the pathogenic strain B16. In this study, the lifespan of C. elegans fed with strain CPCC 101271 cells was extended by approximately 40% compared with that of worms fed with Escherichia coli OP50 cells. In addition, the colonization of C. elegans by the pathogenic bacterium "B. nematocida" B16 was inhibited when pre-fed with strain CPCC 101271. Metagenomic sequence analysis of intestinal microbiota of C. elegans fed with strain CPCC 101271 and infected with B16 revealed that pre-feeding worms with CPCC 101271 improved the diversity of the intestinal bacteria. Moreover, community structure significantly varied in coordination with Stenotrophomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. abundances when competition between strains CPCC 101271 and B16 was evaluated. In conclusion, the nematode microbiota strain CPCC 101271 assisted in its host resistance to colonization by the pathogen "Bacillus nematocida" and can also promote life span-prolongation in C. elegans. These results underscore that understanding the interactions between C. elegans microbiota and pathogens can provide new insights into achieving effective biological control of agricultural pests.

Long‐term nitrogen input alters plant and soil bacterial, but not fungal beta diversity in a semiarid grassland - Weixing Liu; Lingli Liu; Xian Yang; Meifeng Deng; Zhou Wang; Pandeng Wang; Sen Yang; Ping Li; Ziyang Peng; Lu Yang; Lin Jiang (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input is known to alter plant and microbial α‐diversity, but how N enrichment influences β‐diversity of plant and microbial communities remains poorly understood. Using a long‐term multilevel N addition experiment in a temperate steppe, we show that plant, soil bacterial and fungal communities exhibited different responses in their β‐diversity to N input. Plant β‐diversity decreased linearly as N addition increased, as a result of increased directional environmental filtering, where soil environmental properties largely explained variation in plant β‐diversity. Soil bacterial β‐diversity first increased then decreased with increasing N input, which was best explained by corresponding changes in soil environmental heterogeneity. Soil fungal β‐diversity, however, remained largely unchanged across the N gradient, with plant β‐diversity, soil environmental properties, and heterogeneity together explaining an insignificant fraction of variation in fungal β‐diversity, reflecting the importance of stochastic community assembly. Our study demonstrates the divergent effect of N enrichment on the assembly of plant, soil bacterial and fungal communities, emphasizing the need to examine closely associated fundamental components (i.e., plants and microorganisms) of ecosystems to gain a more complete understanding of ecological consequences of anthropogenic N enrichment.

Dynamics of Free-Living and Attached Bacterial Assemblages in Skeletonema sp. Diatom Cultures at Elevated Temperatures - Zichao Deng; Shouchang Chen; Ping Zhang; Xu Zhang; Jonathan M. Adams; Qiaoqi Luo; Xin Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
In the context of global warming, changes in phytoplankton-associated bacterial communities have the potential to change biogeochemical cycling and food webs in marine ecosystems. Skeletonema is a cosmopolitan diatom genus in coastal waters worldwide. Here, we grew a Skeletonema strain with its native bacterial assemblage at different temperatures and examined cell concentrations of Skeletonema sp. and free-living bacteria, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations of cultures, and the community structure of both free-living and attached bacteria at different culture stages. The results showed that elevated temperature increased the specific growth rates of both Skeletonema and free-living bacteria. Different growth stages had a more pronounced effect on community structure compared with temperatures and different physical states of bacteria. The effects of temperature on the structure of the free-living bacterial community were more pronounced compared with diatom-attached bacteria. Carbon metabolism genes and those for some specific amino acid pathways were found to be positively correlated with elevated temperature, which may have profound implications on the oceanic carbon cycle and the marine microbial loop. Network analysis revealed evidence of enhanced cooperation with an increase in positive interactions among different bacteria at elevated temperature. This may help the whole community to overcome the stress of elevated temperature. We speculate that different bacterial species may build more integrated networks with a modified functional profile of the whole community to cope with elevated temperature. This study contributes to an improved understanding of the response of diatom-associated bacterial communities to elevated temperature.

Temperature sensitivity of SOM decomposition is linked with a K‐selected microbial community - Hui Li; Shan Yang; Mikhail V. Semenov; Fei Yao; Ji Ye; Rencang Bu; Ruiao Ma; Junjie Lin; Irina Kurganova; Xugao Wang; Ye Deng; Irina Kravchenko; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Temperature sensitivity (Q 10 ) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is a crucial parameter to predict the fate of soil carbon (C) under global warming. Nonetheless, the response pattern of Q 10 to continuous warming and the underlying mechanisms are still under debate, especially considering the complex interactions between Q 10 , SOM quality, and soil microorganisms. We examined the Q 10 of SOM decomposition across a mean annual temperature (MAT) gradient from −1.9 to 5.1°C in temperate mixed forest ecosystems in parallel with SOM quality and bioavailability, microbial taxonomic composition, and functional genes responsible for organic carbon decomposition. Within this temperature gradient of 7.0°C, the Q 10 values increased with MAT, but decreased with SOM bioavailability. The Q 10 values increased with the prevalence of K‐strategy of soil microbial community, which was characterized by: (i) high ratios of oligotrophic to copiotrophic taxa, (ii) ectomycorrhizal to saprotrophic fungi, (iii) functional genes responsible for degradation of recalcitrant to that of labile C, and (iv) low average 16S rRNA operon copy number. Because the recalcitrant organic matter was mainly utilized by the K‐strategists, these findings independently support the carbon quality‐temperature theory from the perspective of microbial taxonomic composition and functions. A year‐long incubation experiment was performed to determine the response of labile and recalcitrant C pools to warming based on the two‐pool model. The decomposition of recalcitrant SOM was more sensitive to increased temperature in southern warm regions, which might attribute to the dominance of K‐selected microbial communities. It implies that climate warming would mobilize the larger recalcitrant pools in warm regions, exacerbating the positive feedback between increased MAT and CO 2 efflux. This is the first attempt to link temperature sensitivity of SOM decomposition with microbial eco‐strategies by incorporating the genetic information and disentangling the complex relationship between Q 10 and soil microorganisms.

Dynamics of the spatiotemporal morphology of Mei-yu fronts: an initial survey - Yang Hu; Yi Deng; Yanluan Lin; Zhimin Zhou; Chunguang Cui; Xiquan Dong (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
Mei-yu fronts are often accompanied with prominent diabatic heating due to the development of frontal clouds and rain bands. The direct effect and relative importance of diabatic heating on the spatiotemporal morphology of Mei-yu fronts however remain unclear. Here a new frontogenesis function is derived to isolate the effect of diabatic heating and this function is then applied to the latest high resolution reanalysis product ERA5 to conduct an initial survey of dynamic and thermodynamic processes driving the intensity and structure evolutions of three typical Mei-yu fronts. It is found that the direct effect of latent heating (moisture depletion) is always frontogenetical (frontolytical) in the pre-frontal and frontal zone throughout the lifecycle of the front with latent heating (moisture depletion) in general dominates the front intensification (dissipation). Tilting is another critical process that turns the vertical gradient of equivalent potential temperature into horizontal gradient leading to frontogenesis during the front development stage, and, after the release of convective instability ahead of the front, flattens the front surface leading to frontolysis during the front decaying stage. Therefore titling maintains consistently positive contributions to the evolution of a Mei-yu front and its importance depends highly on the convective intensity near the front. The deformation effect appears frontogenetical but carries a much smaller weight compared to diabatic heating, moisture depletion and tilting. The structure evolutions of the three Mei-yu fronts studied here exhibit two distinct patterns: “bending and breaking”, and “moving and rotating”. Both patterns are dominated by the front propagation (i.e., frontogenesis through air parcels), further highlighting the critical roles played by diabatic heating, moisture depletion and titling in determining the spatiotemporal characteristics of Mei-yu fronts. As these three processes are all closely tied to updrafts, clouds and precipitation near the fronts, improved representations of clouds and convection are needed to accurately depict their feedbacks to frontal evolutions and ultimately achieve better predictions of heavy rainfall and floods associated with Mei-yu fronts.

Pseudomonas syringae dual‐function protein Lon switches between virulence and metabolism by acting as both DNA ‐binding transcriptional regulator and protease in different environments - Canfeng Hua; Tingting Wang; Xiaolong Shao; Yingpeng Xie; Hao Huang; Jingui Liu; Weitong Zhang; Yingchao Zhang; Yiqing Ding; Lin Jiang; Xin Wang; Xin Deng (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Lon, a member of the AAA+ protease family, plays vital roles in Type III secretion systems (T3SS), agglutination and colony shape in the model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae . Lon also functions as a transcriptional regulator in other bacterial species such as Escherichia coli and Brevibacillus thermoruber . To reveal the molecular mechanisms of Lon as a dual‐function protein in P . syringae , we studied Lon‐regulated genes by using RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq), chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP‐seq) and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. As a transcriptional regulator, Lon directly regulated a group of genes (PSPPH_4788, gacA , fur , gntR , clpS , lon and glyA ) and consequently regulated their functions, such as 1‐dodecanol oxidation activity, motility, pyoverdine production, glucokinase activity, N‐end rule pathway, lon expression and serine hydroxymethyltransferase activity. Mass spectrometry results revealed that the expression levels of five T3SS proteins (such as HrcV, HrpW1) were higher in the ∆ lon strain than the wild‐type (WT) strain in KB. In MM, 12 metabolic proteins (such as AcdS and NuoI) showed lower levels in the ∆ lon strain than the WT strain. Taken together, these data demonstrate that the dual‐function protein Lon sophisticatedly regulates virulence and metabolism in P . syringa e.

Record-breaking heat wave in southern China and delayed onset of South China Sea summer monsoon driven by the Pacific subtropical high - Kaiqiang Deng; Song Yang; Dejun Gu; Ailan Lin; Chunhui Li (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
We investigate a record-breaking heat wave in southern China (SC) and explore its association with the South China Sea (SCS) summer monsoon (SCSSM), using station observations and various reanalysis products. This heat wave event started in mid-May 2018 and persisted more than 15 days, when the maximum air temperature anomaly exceeded 6 °C. Meanwhile, the onset of the SCSSM was extremely late in 2018, primarily due to the intrusion of easterly winds over the SCS. We show that the anomalous easterlies over the SCS associated with the delayed SCSSM could block the moisture transport from the tropical oceans to SC, which led to decreased rainfall, increased surface radiation, and elevated probability of heat wave in SC during May 2018. Further analysis reveals that both SC heat waves and SCSSM were significantly affected by the Pacific subtropical high (PSH). The westward extension of the PSH can hinder the establishment of SCSSM via inducing easterly anomalies over the SCS, which reduces SC rainfall and results in a drier surface condition. Moreover, the westward displacement of the PSH may cause anomalously high pressures, descending air motions, and divergent winds over SC, which triggers above-normal air temperatures that are conducive to the occurrences of SC heat waves. This study also underlines the importance of Eurasian planetary wave trains in bridging the upstream climate variability and the changes in PSH during boreal spring, which could be used to improve the intra-seasonal predictions of SC heat wave and SCSSM onset.

Responses of soil moisture to regional climate change over the Three Rivers Source Region on the Tibetan Plateau - Mingshan Deng; Xianhong Meng; Zhaoguo Li; Yaqiong Lyv; Huajin Lei; Lin Zhao; Shengnan Zhao; Jun Ge; Hui Jing (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
In this study, soil moisture data from two reanalysis datasets (ERA‐Interim, ERA5), a satellite soil moisture product from the European Space Agency (ESA) and three assimilation datasets from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), that is, GLADS‐NOAH025, GLADS‐NOAH10, and GLDAS‐CLM were compared with the observed soil moisture data in Maqu and Maduo stations over the Three Rivers Source Region (TRSR) on the Tibetan Plateau in China. Comparative statistical parameters between the soil moisture observations and the products, including the root mean square error, correlation coefficient ( R ), and standard deviation ratio were calculated to evaluate the products in different seasons. It was found that most products overestimated the soil moisture values, among which GLADS‐NOAH025 had relatively good consistency with the observations in the surface soil layer (0–10 cm), whereas GLDAS‐CLM agreed well with the observations in the 10–40 cm layer. Both ERA5 and ERA‐interim soil moisture overestimated soil moisture at all levels. The responses of soil moisture to regional climate change over the TRSR were also investigated by using the GLDAS‐NOAH025 soil moisture product, the ESA soil moisture product, and the observations during the nonfreezing period. The results show that the trends of soil moisture are consistent with the precipitation changes in the main central part of the TRSR. A significant positive correlation was found between soil moisture and precipitation in most regions of the TRSR, which indicates that soil moisture increases with the increase of precipitation, except in the northwest TRSR, where the variation of soil moisture was possibly influenced by both the precipitation changes and the increase of evapotranspiration.

3,000 km and 1,500‐year presence of Aureococcus anophagefferens reveals indigenous origin of brown tides in China - Ying Zhong Tang; Zhaopeng Ma; Zhangxi Hu; Yunyan Deng; Aoao Yang; Siheng Lin; Liang Yi; Zhaoyang Chai; Christopher J. Gobler (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
The nonmotile, spherical, picoplanktonic (2‐μm‐sized) pelagophyte Aureococcus anophagefferens has caused numerous harmful blooms (“brown tides”) across global marine ecosystems. Blooms have developed along the east coast of the USA since 1985, a limited number of times in South Africa around 1997, and frequently in China since 2009. As a consequence, the harmful blooms have caused massive losses in aquaculture and coastal ecosystems, particularly mortalities in cultured shellfish. Therefore, whether A. anophagefferens was recently introduced to China via natural/artificial transport of resting stage cells or has been an indigenous species has become a question of profound ecological significance and broad interest, which motivated our extensive investigation on the geographic and historical presence of this species in the seas of China. We applied a combined approach of extensive PCR‐based detection and sequencing, germination experiments and monoclonal antibody staining of germlings to samples of surface sediment and sediment core (dated via combined isotopic measurements) collected from all four seas of China, and searched the supplementary data set of a recent Science publication. We discovered that A. anophagefferens does have a resting stage in the sediment, but it also has a wide geographic distribution both in China (covering a range of ~30° in latitude, ~15.7° in longitude and 2.5–3,456 m in water depth; temperate to tropical and coastal to open oceans) and in almost all oceans of the world and a historical presence of >1,500 years in the Bohai Sea, China. The work revealed that A. anophagefferens is not a recently introduced, but an indigenous species in China and has in fact a globally cosmopolitan distribution.

Theoretical and eddy covariance studies demonstrate that aerosol‐loading stimulates canopy photosynthesis, but field evidence for the aerosol effect on tree growth is limited. Here, we measured in situ daily stem growth rates of aspen trees under a wide range of aerosol‐loading in China. The results showed that daily stem growth rates were positively correlated with aerosol‐loading, even at exceptionally high aerosol levels. Using structural equation modeling analysis, we showed that variations in stem growth rates can be largely attributed to two environmental variables covarying with aerosol loading: diffuse fraction of radiation and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Furthermore, we found that these two factors influence stem growth by influencing photosynthesis from different parts of canopy. Using field observations and a mechanistic photosynthesis model, we demonstrate that photosynthetic rates of both sun and shade leaves increased under high aerosol‐loading conditions but for different reasons. For sun leaves, the photosynthetic increase was primarily attributed to the concurrent lower VPD; for shade leaves, the positive aerosol effect was tightly connected with increased diffuse light. Overall, our study provides the first field evidence of increased tree growth under high aerosol loading. We highlight the importance of understanding biophysical mechanisms of aerosol‐meteorology interactions, and incorporating the different pathways of aerosol effects into earth system models to improve the prediction of large‐scale aerosol impacts, and the associated vegetation‐mediated climate feedbacks.

The cyclin dependent kinase subunit Cks1 is required for infection‐associated development of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Xiaofeng Yue; Yawei Que; Shuzhen Deng; Lin Xu; Miriam Oses‐Ruiz; Nicholas J. Talbot; Youliang Peng; Zhengyi Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Cell cycle regulation is pivotal for proper cell division and cellular differentiation in eukaryotic cells. The central regulators that govern eukaryotic cell cycle progression are cyclin‐dependent kinases (CDKs) and their partners. Here, we report that Magnaporthe oryzae CKS1 encodes a cyclin‐dependent kinase subunit, which plays a significant role in regulation of plant infection. We demonstrate that CKS1 is a functional homolog of CKS1 / SUC1 and can physically interact with the CDK protein Cdc28, and Som1, a downstream regulator of the cyclic AMP‐dependent Protein Kinase A pathway. CKS1 deletion mutants are severely impaired in hyphal growth, sexual reproduction, melanin pigmentation and conidiogenesis. Cks1 mutants are able to form appressoria from hyphal tips, but these are unable to re‐polarize, and rice infection is impaired. CKS1 also affects chitin and glucan synthase activity during cell wall differentiation and fungal hydrophobin function. CKS1 , therefore, encodes a conserved CDK‐binding partner, essential for appressorium‐mediated plant infection by the rice blast fungus.
