EFFECT OF A ROOT‐ZONE INJECTION IRRIGATION METHOD ON WATER PRODUCTIVITY AND APPLE PRODUCTION IN A SEMI‐ARID REGION IN NORTH‐WESTERN CHINA - Yan‐Ping Wang; Lin‐Sen Zhang; Yan Mu; Wei‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Xing Guo; Tian‐Ran Chang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
Within the Chinese Loess Plateau, water resources are scarce and irrigation efficiency is a challenging issue. Traditional surface drip irrigation (SDI) methods have failed to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce surface evaporation in the region. An easy‐to‐install and practicable root‐zone injection irrigation (RII) method, with a low risk of emitter clogging and which uses subsurface infiltration‐promoting apparatuses (SIPA) to deliver water directly to the root zone, was designed and tested in an apple orchard over 3 years in northern Shaanxi, China. In the 0–0.6 m soil layer (where the apple roots are concentrated), the RII method produced consistently higher soil water content than the SDI method over all three growing seasons. The soil water content was consistently higher than 60% of field capacity, thus meeting the water requirements of fruit‐bearing apple trees. In addition, the RII method alleviated soil desiccation, significantly increased apple yields and improved fruit quality compared with the SDI method using the same volume of irrigation water. Both irrigation efficiency and water‐use efficiency were improved with the RII method. These results provide a theoretical basis for the utilization of the RII irrigation method in apple orchards in semi‐arid regions, which may improve water conservation and the sustainability of apple production. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The acclimation of leaf photosynthesis of wheat and rice to seasonal temperature changes in T‐FACE environments - Chuang Cai; Gang Li; Lijun Di; Yunjie Ding; Lin Fu; Xuanhe Guo; Paul C. Struik; Genxing Pan; Haozheng Li; Weiping Chen; Weihong Luo; Xinyou Yin (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Crops show considerable capacity to adjust their photosynthetic characteristics to seasonal changes in temperature. However, how photosynthesis acclimates to changes in seasonal temperature under future climate conditions has not been revealed. We measured leaf photosynthesis ( A n ) of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) and rice ( Oryza sativa L.) grown under four combinations of two levels of CO 2 (ambient and enriched up to 500 µmol/mol) and two levels of canopy temperature (ambient and increased by 1.5–2.0°C) in temperature by free‐air CO 2 enrichment (T‐FACE) systems. Parameters of a biochemical C 3 ‐photosynthesis model and of a stomatal conductance ( g s ) model were estimated for the four conditions and for several crop stages. Some biochemical parameters related to electron transport and most g s parameters showed acclimation to seasonal growth temperature in both crops. The acclimation response did not differ much between wheat and rice, nor among the four treatments of the T‐FACE systems, when the difference in the seasonal growth temperature was accounted for. The relationships between biochemical parameters and leaf nitrogen content were consistent across leaf ranks, developmental stages, and treatment conditions. The acclimation had a strong impact on g s model parameters: when parameter values of a particular stage were used, the model failed to correctly estimate g s values of other stages. Further analysis using the coupled g s –biochemical photosynthesis model showed that ignoring the acclimation effect did not result in critical errors in estimating leaf photosynthesis under future climate, as long as parameter values were measured or derived from data obtained before flowering.

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access - Jens Kattge; Gerhard Bönisch; Sandra Díaz; Sandra Lavorel; Iain Colin Prentice; Paul Leadley; Susanne Tautenhahn; Gijsbert D. A.

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits—almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

A changed post‐flood management strategy enables the culture‐based fishery of the Liangzi Lake, Yangtze River Basin, China, to remain economically and environmentally viable - Qidong Wang; Zhongjie Li; Mingli Lin; Shaowe Ye; Wei Li; Chuanbo Guo; Geng Huang; Jing Yuan; Jiashou Liu; Sena S. De Silva (Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2019)
The culture‐based fishery of Liangzi Lake, Yangtze River Basin, established in 1992, yielded 2,652 t/year (±167) between 2005 and 2015, dominated by stocked carps [ Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Val.) and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis (Richardson)] and mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis (Milne Edwards), accounting for 53% and 23% of the production and 20% and 52% in value, respectively. The lake had a macrophyte cover dominated by Vallisneria natans (Lour.) Hara with a cumulative biomass of 10,647 g/m 2 that disappeared after a major flood in 2010 and changed its ecology. Management changes in stocking strategies introduced in the post‐flood period enabled the culture‐based fishery to maintain viability and sustainability to combat the major ecological change in the lake. The stocked species contributed significantly to nutrient removal of 24.71 ± 5.12 t/yr and 6.29 ± 0.87 t/yr of total nitrogen and total phosphorus, respectively.

Prediction of Self-Propulsion Performance of Ship Model with Double L-Type Podded Propulsors and Conversion Method for Full-Scale Ship - Dagang Zhao; Chunyu Guo; Jianfeng Lin; Zuotian Zhang; Xue Bai (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
In this study, the self-propulsion performance of a ship model with double-L-type podded propulsors was predicted. Additionally, a conversion method for the performance of a full-scale ship was established based on the correction method published by the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) for the scaling effect of a single podded propeller and research reports on pod tests conducted by different ship research institutes. The thrust deduction and wake fraction of the ship were also analyzed. Furthermore, the self-propulsion performance of a full-scale ship with double L-type pods was determined, the full- and model-scale ships compared in terms of their flow fields and pressure charts, and the influence of the scaling effect analyzed. In addition, the calculation results were compared with the conversion results of a full-scale ship, and the reliability of the method adopted for the performance estimation of a full-scale ship with double podded propulsors was verified. The findings reported herein can provide statistics and technical support for the design of L-type podded propulsors and their application in full-scale ships, which are of theoretical significance and practical value in the engineering domain.

Synoptic patterns and sounding‐derived parameters associated with summertime heavy rainfall in Beijing - Yan Yan; Yucong Miao; Jianping Guo; Shuhua Liu; Huan Liu; Mengyun Lou; Lin Liu; Dandan Chen; Weitao Xue; Panmao Zhai (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Heavy precipitation in Beijing is modulated by both synoptic forcings and local thermodynamic characteristics of troposphere, which has yet to be well known. This study investigated the large‐scale synoptic patterns and local sounding features associated with the summertime heavy precipitation in Beijing, based on long‐term surface meteorological observations, radiosonde measurements, in combination of reanalysis data from 2008 to 2017. The results show that the heavy rainfall occurs more frequently in late July, which is associated with the movement of subtropical anticyclone. The sounding parameters during the heavy rainfall days are examined as well. It is found that the heavy rainfall is often related to favourable convective conditions characterized by abundant water vapour and high unstable energy. The soundings for around 45% of heavy rainfall days in Beijing exhibit the pattern of “thin tube” (TT), and those for ~25 and ~20% of heavy rainfall days show the patterns of “loaded gun” (LG) and “inverted V” (IV), respectively. On average, the rainfall amount of TT is 55.8 mm/day, which is ~3 mm/day (~15 mm/day) higher than that of LG (IV). The more frequent and heavier rainfall observed for TT pattern is due to the high values of precipitable water and wind shear. On the large scale, three dominant synoptic patterns associated with heavy rainfall in Beijing have been identified using the T‐mode principle component analysis. These synoptic patterns are all characterized by prevailing southerly winds within the lower troposphere, resulting in water vapours being easily transported from southern regions to Beijing, which in turn favours the occurrence of heavy precipitation. These dominant synoptic patterns and thermodynamic characteristics associated with the heavy rainfall in Beijing revealed in this study have important implications for better understanding of heavy rainfall in the North China Plain.

Tropopause trend across China from 1979 to 2016: A revisit with updated radiosonde measurements - Xinyan Chen; Jianping Guo; Jinfang Yin; Yong Zhang; Yucong Miao; Yuxing Yun; Lin Liu; Jian Li; Hui Xu; Kaixi Hu; Panmao Zhai (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
The long‐term trend in tropopause has profound implications for the expansion of tropical zone and the variation of large‐scale circulation. However, the changes of tropopause in China have not been explicitly investigated as yet. In this study, the trend of lapse rate tropopause (LRT) height over China has been comprehensively revisited for the period of 1979–2016, using the newly released quality‐controlled radiosonde data from China Meteorological Administration. Results show that the LRT height in most parts of China shows a significant upwards trend with a rate of 370 m/decade, most likely due to global warming. The fastest increase occurs in northwest region, followed by the low‐latitude regions (15°–25°N), while the slowest increase occurs in the high‐latitude regions (45°–55°N). Overall, the LRT height varies with latitudes, exhibiting a “south high and north low” pattern. In particular, high LRT height over low latitudes is found to be expanding rapidly polewards in recent years, in contrast to almost constant LRT height over mid and high latitudes. In terms of the seasonality, tropopause height reaches the peak in summer and bottom in winter. The frequency distribution in the vertical direction exhibits a bimodal pattern with the major peak mostly occurring at around 15 km and a secondary peak occurring between 8 and 12 km. This bimodal distribution is similar to the findings revealed in previous studies. Our findings offer important circumstantial observational evidence for the polewards expansion of the Tropics under global warming.

Inter‐annual variation of the spring haze pollution over the North China Plain: Roles of atmospheric circulation and sea surface temperature - Shangfeng Chen; Jianping Guo; Linye Song; Jian Li; Lin Liu; Jason Blake Cohen (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Haze pollution is a serious air quality issue in China. Previous studies over the North China Plain (NCP) mainly focused on analysing the haze during boreal winter. However, the variation in haze during spring and the related factors remain unclear. This study investigates inter‐annual variation of the spring haze, which is represented by the humidity‐corrected dry extinction coefficient (DEC) over the NCP. During high DEC years, pronounced positive DEC anomalies appear over the NCP and its surrounding regions. Correspondingly, a notable anticyclonic anomaly is observed over Northeast Asia, inducing significant southeasterly wind anomalies over the NCP. The anomalous southeasterly winds reduce wind speed and increase relative humidity, which provides favourable meteorological conditions for accumulation and growth of aerosol pollutants. Further analysis shows that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) contributes to the formation of anticyclonic anomalies over Northeast Asia via downstream propagating atmospheric wave trains. Additionally, positive sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the subtropical northeastern Atlantic Ocean may also impact the DEC variation. The linear barotropic model experiment further confirms the important role of subtropical northeastern Atlantic SST anomalies in contributing to the anomalous anticyclone over Northeast Asia and southerly wind anomalies over the NCP region, which are triggered via eastwards propagating atmospheric wave trains. This study gives support to the idea that the NAO and the North Atlantic SST may be potential predictors for the frequently observed springtime NCP haze variation.

Aeromonas schubertii is a major epidemiological agent that threatens cultured snakeheads ( Channidae ) and has caused great economic losses in fish‐farming industries in China in recent years. In present study, a specific TaqMan minor groove binder ( MGB ) probe fluorescence real‐time quantitative PCR ( qPCR ) assay was developed to rapidly detect and quantify A. schubertii . A pair of qPCR primers and a TaqMan MGB probe were selected from the rpoD gene, which were shown to be specific for A. schubertii . A high correlation coefficient ( R 2 = 0.9998) in a standard curve with a 103% efficiency was obtained. Moreover, the qPCR method's detection limit was as low as 18 copies/μl, which was 100 times more sensitive than that of conventional PCR . The detection results for the A. schubertii in pond water and fish tissue were consistent with those of the viable counts. Bacterial load changes detected by qPCR in different tissues of snakeheads infected with A. schubertii showed that the gills and intestines may be the entry for A. schubertii , and the spleen and kidney are major sites for A. schubertii replication. The established method in present study should be a useful tool for the early surveillance and quantitation of A. schubertii .

Two key features influencing community assembly processes at regional scale: Initial state and degree of change in environmental conditions - Youzhi Feng; Ruirui Chen; James C. Stegen; Zhiying Guo; Jianwei Zhang; Zhongpei Li; Xiangui Lin (Molecular Ecology, 2018)
Belowground microbial communities strongly influence ecosystem function such that predicting function may rely on understanding ecological processes that assemble communities. Uncertainty remains, however, in what governs the relative contributions of different ecological processes. To help fill this knowledge gap, we test the general hypothesis that both initial state and degree of change in environmental conditions govern the relative contributions of different ecological assembly processes. To do so, we leveraged regional‐scale nutrient and organic matter addition experiments and used soil organic matter (SOM) as a proxy of integrated soil environmental conditions. Consistent with our hypothesis, we found that both the initial amount of SOM and the degree of change in SOM—in response to nutrient addition—influenced the relative contributions of different ecological assembly processes. These influences were most clearly observed at the regional scale, suggesting potential scale dependence. More specifically, nutrient additions homogenized bacterial community composition due to enhanced influences of homogenizing dispersal when SOM content was initially high. In contrast, nutrient additions led to divergence in community composition due to variable selection when initial SOM was low and/or when SOM increased significantly in response to nutrient additions. Our findings indicate important connections among initial conditions, degree of change in environmental variables and microbial community assembly processes that may influence ecosystem processes. These conceptual inferences highlight a need to strengthen connections between ecological theory and biogeochemical modelling.

Spatial relationship between climatic diversity and biodiversity conservation value - Junjun Wang; Ruidong Wu; Daming He; Feiling Yang; Peijun Hu; Shiwei Lin; Wei Wu; Yixin Diao; Yang Guo (Conservation Biology, 2018)
Capturing the full range of climatic diversity in a reserve network is expected to improve the resilience of biodiversity to climate change. Therefore, a study on systematic conservation planning for climatic diversity that explicitly or implicitly hypothesizes that regions with higher climatic diversity support greater biodiversity is needed. However, little is known about the extent and generality of this hypothesis. We used the case of Yunnan, southwest China, to quantitatively classify climatic units and modeled 4 climatic diversity indicators, including the variety (VCU), rarity (RCU), endemism (ECU) of climatic units, and a composite index of climatic diversity (CICD). We used 5 schemes that reliably identify priority conservation areas (PCAs) to identify areas with high biodiversity conservation value. We then investigated the spatial relationships between the 4 climatic diversity indicators and the results of the 5 PCA schemes and assessed the representation of climatic diversity within the existing nature reserves. The CICD was the best indicator of areas with high conservation value, followed by ECU and RCU. Contrary to conventional knowledge, VCU was not positively associated with biodiversity conservation value. The rarer or more endemic climatic units tended to have higher reserve coverage than the more common units. However, only 28 units, covering 10.5% of the land in Yunnan, had >17% of their areas protected. In addition to climatic factors, topography and human disturbances also significantly affected the relationship between climatic diversity and biodiversity conservation value. Our results suggest that climatic diversity can be an effective surrogate for establishing a more robust reserve network under climate change in Yunnan. Our study improves understanding of the relationship between climatic diversity and biodiversity and helps build an evidence‐based foundation for systematic conservation planning that targets climatic diversity in response to climate change.

Successional change in species composition alters climate sensitivity of grassland productivity - Zheng Shi; Yang Lin; Kevin R. Wilcox; Lara Souza; Lifen Jiang; Jiang Jiang; Chang Gyo Jung; Xia Xu; Mengting Yuan; Xue Guo; Liyou Wu; Jizhong Zhou; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Succession theory predicts altered sensitivity of ecosystem functions to disturbance (i.e., climate change) due to the temporal shift in plant community composition. However, empirical evidence in global change experiments is lacking to support this prediction. Here, we present findings from an 8‐year long‐term global change experiment with warming and altered precipitation manipulation (double and halved amount). First, we observed a temporal shift in species composition over 8 years, resulting in a transition from an annual C 3 ‐dominant plant community to a perennial C 4 ‐dominant plant community. This successional transition was independent of any experimental treatments. During the successional transition, the response of aboveground net primary productivity ( ANPP ) to precipitation addition magnified from neutral to +45.3%, while the response to halved precipitation attenuated substantially from −17.6% to neutral. However, warming did not affect ANPP in either state. The findings further reveal that the time‐dependent climate sensitivity may be regulated by successional change in species composition, highlighting the importance of vegetation dynamics in regulating the response of ecosystem productivity to precipitation change.

Evidence of differential adaptation to decreased temperature by anammox bacteria - Ximao Lin; Yayi Wang; Xiao Ma; Yuan Yan; Min Wu; Philip L. Bond; Jianhua Guo (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Low temperature is recognized as one of the major barriers for the application of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process to treat mainstream wastewater. Studies are yet to reveal the underlying biological limitations and molecular mechanisms associated with the inhibition of low temperature on the anammox process. In this study, metaproteomics was used to examine proteome modulation patterns of the anammox community occurring at different temperatures. The anammox community remarkably altered their proteomes when the temperature decreased from 35 °C to 20 °C. This was especially for proteins involved in energy conversion, transcription and translation and inorganic ion transport. However, at 15 °C the anammox activities became distinctly inhibited, and there was evidence of energy limitations and severe stress in Candidatus Kuenenia and to a lesser degree in Candidatus Brocadia. Candidatus Jettenia exhibited more changes in its proteome at 15 °C. From the proteomes, at the lower temperatures there was evidence of stress caused by toxic nitrogen compounds or reactive oxygen species in the anammox bacteria. Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO)‐like proteins and an oxidative stress response protein (a catalase) were in high abundance to potentially ameliorate these inhibitory effects. This study offers metaproteomic insight into the anammox community‐based physiological response to decreasing temperatures.

Declining hailstorm frequency in China during 1961–2015 and its potential influential factors - Wenhui Zhao; Jianping Guo; Zhanyu Yao; Yuxing Yun; Shuo Jia; Weijian Wang; Pei Zhang; Hui Xu; Huan Liu; Liangshu Gao; Yanluan Lin; Mingxin Li; et al. (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Based on 55 years (from 1961 to 2015) of ground‐based hailstorm and atmospheric sounding observations, the climatological characteristics of hailstorms in China, along with potential influencing factors, were analysed. We found that hailstorms exhibit large spatial and temporal variability, with the peak occurring in spring in south China, and in summer in north China. The Tibetan Plateau (TTP) is a region with high hailstorm frequency. Overall, the frequency of hailstorms has decreased over the 55 years, although there was an increase from 1961 to 1985. In terms of diurnal variability, while hailstorm frequency peaks in the afternoon in most of China, it peaks during the night or early morning in southwest China. The magnitude of the peak increased during the 1960s and 1970s, and then decreased afterwards. Hailstorms are negatively correlated with daily mean temperature but are positively correlated with diurnal temperature range, convective available potential energy (CAPE) and totals–totals index. The increase of hailstorms during the period from 1961 to 1985 is mainly correlated with the increase in CAPE over the TTP region, while the decrease of hailstorms afterwards is correlated with all four convective parameters. The finding has significant implications for the potential impact of increasing greenhouse gases on climatological changes in hailstorm.

Species composition, functional and phylogenetic distances correlate with success of invasive Chromolaena odorata in an experimental test - Yu‐Long Zheng; Jean H. Burns; Zhi‐Yong Liao; Yang‐ping Li; Jie Yang; Ya‐jun Chen; Jiao‐lin Zhang; Yu‐guo Zheng (Ecology Letters, 2018)
Biotic resistance may influence invasion success; however, the relative roles of species richness, functional or phylogenetic distance in predicting invasion success are not fully understood. We used biomass fraction of Chromolaena odorata , an invasive species in tropical and subtropical areas, as a measure of ‘invasion success’ in a series of artificial communities varying in species richness. Communities were constructed using species from Mexico (native range) or China (non‐native range). We found strong evidence of biotic resistance: species richness and community biomass were negatively related with invasion success; invader biomass was greater in plant communities from China than from Mexico. Harvesting time had a greater effect on invasion success in plant communities from China than on those from Mexico. Functional and phylogenetic distances both correlated with invasion success and more functionally distant communities were more easily invaded. The effects of plant‐soil fungi and plant allelochemical interactions on invasion success were species‐specific.

Wave (Current)-Induced Pore Pressure in Offshore Deposits: A Coupled Finite Element Model - Chencong Liao; Dongsheng Jeng; Zaibin Lin; Yakun Guo; Qi Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018)
The interaction between wave and offshore deposits is of great importance for the foundation design of marine installations. However, most previous investigations have been limited to connecting separated wave and seabed sub-models with an individual interface program that transfers loads from the wave model to the seabed model. This research presents a two-dimensional coupled approach to study both wave and seabed processes simultaneously in the same FEM (finite element method) program (COMSOL Multiphysics). In the present model, the progressive wave is generated using a momentum source maker combined with a steady current, while the seabed response is applied with the poro-elastoplastic theory. The information between the flow domain and soil deposits is strongly shared, leading to a comprehensive investigation of wave-seabed interaction. Several cases have been simulated to test the wave generation capability and to validate the soil model. The numerical results present fairly good predictions of wave generation and pore pressure within the seabed, indicating that the present coupled model is a sufficient numerical tool for estimation of wave-induced pore pressure.

Global importance of large‐diameter trees - James A. Lutz; Tucker J. Furniss; Daniel J. Johnson; Stuart J. Davies; David Allen; Alfonso Alonso; Kristina J. Anderson‐Teixeira; Ana Andrade; Jennifer Baltzer; Kendall M. L. Becker; Erika M. Blomdahl; Norman A. Bourg; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018)
Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century. Major taxa studied Woody plants. Methods We examined the contribution of large trees to forest density, richness and biomass using a global network of 48 large (from 2 to 60 ha) forest plots representing 5,601,473 stems across 9,298 species and 210 plant families. This contribution was assessed using three metrics: the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), all trees ≥ 60 cm DBH, and those rank‐ordered largest trees that cumulatively comprise 50% of forest biomass. Results Averaged across these 48 forest plots, the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm DBH comprised 50% of aboveground live biomass, with hectare‐scale standard deviation of 26%. Trees ≥ 60 cm DBH comprised 41% of aboveground live tree biomass. The size of the largest trees correlated with total forest biomass ( r 2 = .62, p r 2 = .45, p r 2 = .33, p r 2 = .17, p = .002). The concentration of biomass in the largest 1% of trees declined with increasing absolute latitude ( r 2 = .46, p r 2 = .31, p r 2 = .26, p Main conclusions Because large‐diameter trees constitute roughly half of the mature forest biomass worldwide, their dynamics and sensitivities to environmental change represent potentially large controls on global forest carbon cycling. We recommend managing forests for conservation of existing large‐diameter trees or those that can soon reach large diameters as a simple way to conserve and potentially enhance ecosystem services.

Structural predication and antigenic analysis of Toxoplasma gondii ROP20 - Jian Zhou; Wanchun Wang; Pengxia Song; Lin Wang; Yali Han; Jingjing Guo; Zhen Hao; Xi Zhu; Qiong Zhou; Xiadong Du; Gang Lu; Shenyi He; et al. (Acta Parasitologica, 2018)
Toxoplasma gondii infects almost all the warm-blooded animals. ROP20 protein is expressed in the rhoptry of Toxoplasma gondii . In this study, the secondary structure of ROP20 was analyzed using SMART software. We constructed and analyzed the 3D model of ROP20 protein using SWISS-MODEL online procedure and Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) software. The structure analysis fully indicated that ROP20 protein is an important member of the ROP family. Furthermore, We used DNASTAR software and Epitope Database online service to analyze liner-B cell epitopes and T-cell epitopes of ROP20 protein. All the analysis results of ROP20 protein can provide positive information on treatment and vaccine for toxoplasmosis. Moreover, ROP20 gene was obtained from PCR, and a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector (pEGFP-C1-ROP20) was constructed in the following study. After restriction enzyme digestion, the constructed plasmid was transfected into HEK 293-T cells. The RT-PCR result indicated that the recombinant plasmid could transcribe successfully in HEK 293-T cell. The results of western blotting indicated the expressed proteins can be recognized by anti-STAg mouse sera.

Global environmental costs of China's thirst for milk - Zhaohai Bai; Michael R. F. Lee; Lin Ma; Stewart Ledgard; Oene Oenema; Gerard L. Velthof; Wenqi Ma; Mengchu Guo; Zhanqing Zhao; Sha Wei; Shengli Li; Xia Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
China has an ever‐increasing thirst for milk, with a predicted 3.2‐fold increase in demand by 2050 compared to the production level in 2010. What are the environmental implications of meeting this demand, and what is the preferred pathway? We addressed these questions by using a nexus approach, to examine the interdependencies of increasing milk consumption in China by 2050 and its global impacts, under different scenarios of domestic milk production and importation. Meeting China's milk demand in a business as usual scenario will increase global dairy‐related (China and the leading milk exporting regions) greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions by 35% (from 565 to 764 Tg CO 2eq ) and land use for dairy feed production by 32% (from 84 to 111 million ha) compared to 2010, while reactive nitrogen losses from the dairy sector will increase by 48% (from 3.6 to 5.4 Tg nitrogen). Producing all additional milk in China with current technology will greatly increase animal feed import; from 1.9 to 8.5 Tg for concentrates and from 1.0 to 6.2 Tg for forage (alfalfa). In addition, it will increase domestic dairy related GHG emissions by 2.2 times compared to 2010 levels. Importing the extra milk will transfer the environmental burden from China to milk exporting countries; current dairy exporting countries may be unable to produce all additional milk due to physical limitations or environmental preferences/legislation. For example, the farmland area for cattle‐feed production in New Zealand would have to increase by more than 57% (1.3 million ha) and that in Europe by more than 39% (15 million ha), while GHG emissions and nitrogen losses would increase roughly proportionally with the increase of farmland in both regions. We propose that a more sustainable dairy future will rely on high milk demanding regions (such as China) improving their domestic milk and feed production efficiencies up to the level of leading milk producing countries. This will decrease the global dairy related GHG emissions and land use by 12% (90 Tg CO 2eq reduction) and 30% (34 million ha land reduction) compared to the business as usual scenario, respectively. However, this still represents an increase in total GHG emissions of 19% whereas land use will decrease by 8% when compared with 2010 levels, respectively.

In Vitro Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase, Alphaglucosidase, and Xanthine Oxidase by Bacteria Extracts from Coral Reef in Hainan, South China Sea - Lin Tan; Suxia Guo; Funing Ma; Chen Chang; Isabel Gómez-Betancur (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018)
Acetylcholinesterase is one of the most important enzymes in living organisms, which is responsible for the synapse cholinergic and other nervous processes. However, its inhibiting effects have proven to have pharmacological applications in the treatment of different diseases, as well as in the control of insect pests; thus, the search for inhibitors is a matter of interest for biomedical and agrochemical fields. Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which can be seen as a wide degeneration of synapses, as well as neurons, in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and subcortical structures. Acetylcholinesterase inhibition is an important target for the management of Alzheimer’s. Additionally, diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with clinical manifestation of hyperglycemia, due to the ineffective production of insulin that controls the level of blood glucose. Alphaglucosidaseinhibitors could retard the uptake of dietary carbohydrates and have shown significant therapeutic effects in clinical application. Fifty-five ethyl acetate extracts from nine bacterial families from Hainan (China) were evaluated to observe their acetylcholinesterase, alphaglucosidase, and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. Moreover, a screening of inhibitory activity against the pathogens fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was performed. The best acetylcholinesterase and alphaglucosidase inhibitory activity was shown by Vibrio neocaledonicus (98.95%). This is the first report of inhibition of both enzymes by ethyl acetate extract from this strain.

Responses and mechanisms of East Asian winter and summer monsoons to weakened Atlantic meridional overturning circulation using the FGOALS‐g2 model - Tianlei Yu; Jun Cheng; Pengfei Lin; Yongqiang Yu; Pinwen Guo (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
This study investigates the responses and mechanisms of East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) to weakened Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) through three perturbation experiments with different intensities of freshwater hosing in the North Atlantic, using the Flexible Global Ocean – Atmosphere – Land System Model, Grid‐point Version 2. These experiments show that a subtle weakening of AMOC does not significantly influence either the EAWM or the EASM. When AMOC weakens more substantially, northerly wind anomalies emerge in East Asia throughout the year, strengthening the EAWM and weakening the EASM. The northerly wind anomalies result from an anomalous westward sea level pressure (SLP) gradient, namely positive SLP anomalies across Eurasia and negative anomalies in the western North Pacific (WNP). In winter, negative WNP SLP anomalies are found in mid‐high latitudes. They are caused by anomalous stationary wave activity, which is associated with the Aleutian Iceland seesaw teleconnection. In summer, negative WNP SLP anomalies are present in the subtropics, and are linked with an anomalous cyclonic circulation over the north of the Philippian Sea. This cyclonic circulation anomaly is induced by the anomalous warm water in the subsurface of the South China Sea and Philippian Sea through the Gill mechanism.
