Dissolved oxygen (DO) is essential for the survival of most aquatic organisms. Hypoxia, defined as a DO concentration of less than 2 mg L–1, is a significant issue for ecosystems in estuaries and coastal waters and is one of the top themes of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). An area off the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE), China, annually develops one of the world ocean’s largest hypoxic areas. Observations collected by ship since 1999, and by long-term sensors since 2009, show that DO concentration in this region has been both declining and greatly fluctuating.

It is necessary to determine the optimal temperature for Percocypris pingi growth in recirculating aquaculture systems. To describe the effects of temperature, we evaluated the growth, antioxidant enzyme activity, and gut microbiota structure of P. pingi at different temperatures, including 14, 18, 22, and 26 °C. Results showed that increases in body weight of individuals of the groups subjected to 18 and 22 °C temperatures were considerably higher than those in the groups subjected to temperatures of 14 and 26 °C between 20 and 60 d after the experiment started. Acid phosphatase activity in the liver and kidneys of P. pingi did not differ significantly among the various temperature groups (p > 0.05). A gradual restoration of the alkaline phosphatase and superoxide dismutase activities to variations in the surrounding temperature was observed in the liver and kidney of P. pingi. Interestingly, the water temperature did not affect the α-diversity or composition of the gut microbiota of P. pingi. In conclusion, water temperatures between 14 and 26 °C significantly impacted the growth of P. pingi (p

Pinb-D1p is an elite allele for improving end-use quality in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) - Siyuan Chang; Qian Chen; Tao Yang; Binyong Li; Mingming Xin; Zhenqi Su; Jinkun Du; Weilong Guo; Zhaorong Hu; Jie Liu; Huiru Peng; Zhongfu Ni; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message We identified ten QTLs controlling SDS-SV trait in a RIL population derived from ND3331 and Zang1817. Pinb-D1p is an elite allele from Tibetan semi‑wild wheat for good end-use quality. Abstract Gluten strength is an important factor for wheat processing and end-product quality and is commonly characterized using the sodium dodecyl sulfate-sedimentation volume (SDS-SV) test. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with wheat SDS-SV traits using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from common wheat line NongDa3331 (ND3331) and Tibetan semi-wild wheat accession Zang1817. We detected 10 QTLs controlling SDS-SV on chromosomes 1A, 1B, 3A, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5D, 6B and 7A, with individual QTLs explaining 2.02% to 15.53% of the phenotypic variation. They included four major QTLs, Qsdss-1A , Qsdss-1B.1 , Qsdss-1B.2 , and Qsdss-5D , whose effects on SDS-SV were due to the Glu-A1 locus encoding the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit 1Ax1, the 1B/1R translocation, 1Bx7 + 1By8 at the Glu-B1 locus, and the hardness-controlling loci Pina-D1 and Pinb-D1 , respectively. We developed KASP markers for the Glu-A1 , Glu-B1 , and Pinb-D1 loci. Importantly, we showed for the first time that the hardness allele Pinb-D1p positively affects SDS-SV, making it a good candidate for wheat quality improvement. These results broaden our understanding of the genetic characterization of SDS-SV, and the QTLs identified are potential target regions for fine-mapping and marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding programs.

Ice-Water-Gas Interaction during Icebreaking by an Airgun Bubble - Qi-Gang Wu; Zuo-Cheng Wang; Bao-Yu Ni; Guang-Yu Yuan; Yuriy A. Semenov; Zhi-Yuan Li; Yan-Zhuo Xue (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
When an airgun releases high-pressure gas underwater below an ice plate, it is observed that a bubble is formed rapidly while the ice plate is broken fiercely. In order to study the ice-water-gas interaction during this transient and violent phenomenon, a set of laboratory-scale devices was designed and a series of icebreaking experiments were carried out. High-speed photography was used to capture the evolution of the bubble and the ice plate. It was found that the airgun bubble had a unique ‘pear’ shape compared with the spherical bubble generated by electric sparking. The pressure induced by the pulsation of the airgun bubble near a rigid wall was measured by the pressure sensor. The initial shockwave, oscillatory pressure peaks caused by the directional fast air injection, secondary shockwave, and pressure peak caused by the bubble jet impact were clearly recorded. Three damage patterns of ice plates were observed and corresponding reasons were analyzed. The influence of dimensionless parameters, such as airgun-ice distance H and ice thickness T, was also investigated. The physical mechanism of ice-water-gas interaction was summarized.

Numerical Simulation of an Air-Bubble System for Ice Resistance Reduction - Bao-Yu Ni; Hongyu Wei; Zhiyuan Li; Bin Fang; Yanzhuo Xue (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Ships sailing through cold regions frequently encounter floe ice fields. An air-bubble system that reduces friction between the hull and ice floes is thus considered useful for the reduction of ice-induced resistance. In this study, a numerical analysis procedure based on coupled finite volume method (FVM) and discrete element method (DEM) is proposed to simulate complicated hull-water-gas-ice interactions for ice-going ships installed with air-bubble systems. The simulations reveal that after turning on the air-bubble system ice floes in contact with the hull side wall are pushed away from the hull by the gas-water mixture, resulting in an ice-free zone close to the side hull. It is found that the drag reduction rate increases with the increase of ventilation, while the bow ventilation plays a deciding role in the overall ice-resistance reduction. The proposed procedure is expected to facilitate design of new generations of ice-going ships.

Understanding the history and regional singularities of human impact on vegetation is key to developing strategies for sustainable ecosystem management. In this study, fossil and modern pollen datasets from China are employed to investigate temporal changes in pollen composition, analogue quality, and pollen diversity during the Holocene. Anthropogenic disturbance and vegetation's responses are also assessed. Results reveal that pollen assemblages from non‐forest communities fail to provide evidence of human impact for the western part of China (annual precipitation less than 400 mm and/or elevation more than 3000 m.a.s.l.), as inferred from the stable quality of modern analogues, principal components, and diversity of species and communities throughout the Holocene. For the eastern part of China, the proportion of fossil pollen spectra with good modern analogues increases from ca. 50% to ca. 80% during the last 2 millennia, indicating an enhanced intensity of anthropogenic disturbance on vegetation. This disturbance has caused the pollen spectra to become taxonomically less diverse over space (reduced abundances of arboreal taxa and increased abundances of herbaceous taxa), highlighting a reduced south–north differentiation and divergence from past vegetation between regions in the eastern part of China. We recommend that care is taken in eastern China when basing the development of ecosystem management strategies on vegetation changes in the region during the last 2000 years, since humans have significantly disturbed the vegetation during this period.

Because of global warming, the sea level is expected to continue to rise, possibly having a significant impact on the intensities and spatial distribution characteristics of coastal storm surges. In this study, we took super typhoon Rammasun (2014) as a case study and applied the SCHISM (Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model) to simulate storm surge in the northwestern South China Sea under future sea level rise (SLR) scenarios. To improve the accuracy of storm surge hindcast, we used reconstructed wind field to drive the model in which ERA5 reanalysis data were superposed on the wind field calculated from the Holland parametric cyclone model. The results show that the storm surge hindcast was significantly improved by using this reconstructed wind forcing. 2-D and 3-D model hindcast capabilities were compared; the 3-D model reproduced the storm surge better. The regional sea level projections in 2050, 2100, 2200, and 2300 for RCP 4.5 scenarios (provided by the IPCC AR6 dataset) were superposed on the original water depth as the predicted sea levels, then those depths were used in models of storm surge in the study area under a typhoon identical to Rammasun. Model results demonstrate that storm surge peaks in most sea areas decrease nearly linearly with SLR, especially in regions of high surges.

Details of the development of coastal hypoxia in response to the passage of Typhoon Bavi (2020) in the East China Sea were reconstructed by numerical modeling using a three-dimensional coupled physical–biogeochemical model. The model was validated via repeated surveys along a transect across a submerged river valley off the Changjiang Estuary before and after the passage of Typhoon Bavi. Before Bavi’s arrival, survey data indicated that the coastal hypoxia had formed off the Changjiang Estuary. However, the hypoxia was not eliminated but instead migrated and aggravated along the observed transect after the typhoon passage. This phenomenon cannot be attributed to the typhoon-induced mixing. Simulation results reveal that the observed development and spatial migration of hypoxia was mainly controlled by typhoon-induced oceanic advection. Results show that Bavi stimulated a regional quasi-barotropic cyclonic loop circulation and coastal downwelling reversing general summer circulation patterns. The onshore transport of the warmer shelf water and subsequent downwelling resulted in a warming of coastal water. The southward coastal current and downwelling induced by the typhoon also led to a migration of the hypoxic zone. Meanwhile, a massive transport of resuspended planktonic detritus from the steep inner shelf and the shallow Changjiang bank toward the submerged river valley occurred. This study reveals that the typhoon-driven currents can play an important role in the development of hypoxia and redistribution of deposited organic matter in coastal shelf seas, which may have both short- and long-term effects on the regional marine biogeochemical environment.

Central sensitization is essential in maintaining chronic pain induced by chronic pancreatitis (CP), but cortical modulation of painful CP remains elusive. Here, we examined the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the pathogenesis of abdominal hyperalgesia in a rat model of CP induced by intraductal administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). TNBS treatment resulted in long-term abdominal hyperalgesia and anxiety in rats. Morphological data indicated that painful CP induced a significant increase in FOS-expressing neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and ACC, and some FOS-expressing neurons in the NTS projected to the ACC. In addition, a larger portion of ascending fibers from the NTS innervated pyramidal neurons, the neural subpopulation primarily expressing FOS under the condition of painful CP, rather than GABAergic neurons within the ACC. CP rats showed increased expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 1, and increased membrane trafficking and phosphorylation of the N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit NR2B and the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit GluR1 within the ACC. Microinjection of NMDAR and AMPAR antagonists into the ACC to block excitatory synaptic transmission significantly attenuated abdominal hyperalgesia in CP rats, which was similar to the analgesic effect of endomorphins injected into the ACC. Specifically inhibiting the excitability of ACC pyramidal cells via chemogenetics reduced both hyperalgesia and comorbid anxiety, whereas activating these neurons via optogenetics failed to aggravate hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats. Taken together, these findings provide neurocircuit, biochemical, and behavioral evidence for involvement of the ACC in hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats, as well as novel insights into the cortical modulation of painful CP, and highlights the ACC as a potential target for neuromodulatory interventions in the treatment of painful CP.

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

A Modified Approach of Extracting Landfast Ice Edge Based on Sentinel-1A InSAR Coherence Image in the Gulf of Bothnia - Zhiyong Wang; Zihao Wang; Hao Li; Ping Ni; Jian Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Landfast ice is an integral component of the coastal ecosystem. Extracting the edge and mapping the extent of landfast ice are one of the main methods for studying ice changes. In this work, a standardized process for extracting landfast ice edge in the Baltic Sea using the InSAR coherence image is established with Sentinel-1 radar data and InSAR technology. A modified approach combining multiscale segmentation and morphological erosion is then proposed to provide a reliable way to extract landfast ice edge. Firstly, the coherence image is obtained using InSAR technology. Then, the edge is separated and extracted with the modified approach. The modified approach is essentially a four-step procedure involving image segmentation, median filter, morphological erosion, and rejection of small patches. Finally, the full extent of landfast ice can be obtained using floodfill algorithm. Multiple InSAR image pairs of Sentinel-1A acquired from 2018 to 2019 are utilized to successfully extract the landfast ice edge in the Gulf of Bothnia. The results show that the landfast ice edge and the extents obtained by the proposed approach are visually consistent with those shown in the ice chart issued by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) over a coastline length of 345 km. The mean distance between land–water boundary and the coastline issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is 109.1 m. The modified approach obviously preserves more details in local edge than the reference method. The experimental results show that the modified approach proposed in this paper can extract the edge and map the extent of landfast ice more accurately and quickly, and is therefore expected to contribute to the further understanding and analyzing the changes of landfast ice in the future.

Biological CO2 Uptake and Upwelling Regulate the Air-Sea CO2 Flux in the Changjiang Plume Under South Winds in Summer - Dewang Li; Xiaobo Ni; Kui Wang; Dingyong Zeng; Bin Wang; Haiyan Jin; Hongliang Li; Feng Zhou; Daji Huang; Jianfang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The partial pressure of CO 2 ( p CO 2 ) in the sea and the air-sea CO 2 flux in plume waters are subject to interactions among biological production, horizontal advection, and upwelling under wind events. In this study, time series of p CO 2 and other biogeochemical parameters in the dynamic Changjiang plume were presented to illuminate the controlling factors of p CO 2 and the air-sea CO 2 flux after a strong south wind event (July 23–24, maximum of 11.2 ms –1 ). The surface p CO 2 decreased by 310 μatm (to 184 μatm) from July 24 to 26. Low- p CO 2 waters (<200 μatm) were observed in the following 2 days. Corresponding chlorophyll a and dissolved oxygen (DO) increase, and a significant relationship between DO and n p CO 2 indicated that biological uptake drove the p CO 2 decrease. The salinity of undersaturated-CO 2 waters decreased by 3.57 (from 25.03 to 21.46) within 2 days (July 27–28), suggesting the offshore advection of plume waters in which CO 2 had been biologically reduced. Four days after the wind event, the upwelling of high-CO 2 waters was observed, which increased the p CO 2 by 428 μatm (up to 584 μatm) within 6 days. Eight days after the onset of upwelling, the surface p CO 2 started to decrease (from 661 to 346 μatm within 3 days), which was probably associated with biological production. Regarding the air-sea CO 2 flux, the carbon sink of the plume was enhanced as the low- p CO 2 plume waters were pushed offshore under the south winds. In its initial stage, the subsequent upwelling made the surface waters act as a carbon source to the atmosphere. However, the surface waters became a carbon sink again after a week of upwelling. Such short-term air-sea carbon fluxes driven by wind have likely occurred in other dynamic coastal waters and have probably induced significant uncertainties in flux estimations.

Spatiotemporal redistribution of incident rainfall in vegetated ecosystems results from the partitioning by plants into intercepted, stemflow, and throughfall fractions. However, variation in patterns and drivers of rainfall partitioning across global biomes remains poorly understood, which limited the ability of climate models to improve the predictions of biome hydrological cycle under global climate change scenario. Here, we synthesized and analyzed the partitioning of incident rainfall into interception, stemflow, and throughfall by trees and shrubs at the global scale using 2430 observations from 236 independent publications. We found that (1) globally, median levels of relative interception, stemflow, and throughfall accounted for 21.8%, 3.2%, and 73.0% of total incident rainfall, respectively; (2) rainfall partitioning varied among different biomes, due to variation in plant composition, canopy structure, and macroclimate; (3) relative stemflow tended to be driven by plant traits, such as crown height:width ratio, basal area, and height, while relative interception and throughfall tended to be driven by plant traits as well as meteorological variables. Our global assessment of patterns and drivers of rainfall partitioning underpins the role of meteorological factors and plant traits in biome‐specific ecohydrological cycles. We suggest to include these factors in climate models to improve the predictions of local hydrological cycles and associated biodiversity and function responses to changing climate conditions.

DeepMapi: a Fully Automatic Registration Method for Mesoscopic Optical Brain Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks - Hong Ni; Zhao Feng; Yue Guan; Xueyan Jia; Wu Chen; Tao Jiang; Qiuyuan Zhong; Jing Yuan; Miao Ren; Xiangning Li; Hui Gong; Qingming Luo; et al. (Neuroinformatics, 2021)
The extreme complexity of mammalian brains requires a comprehensive deconstruction of neuroanatomical structures. Scientists normally use a brain stereotactic atlas to determine the locations of neurons and neuronal circuits. However, different brain images are normally not naturally aligned even when they are imaged with the same setup, let alone under the differing resolutions and dataset sizes used in mesoscopic imaging. As a result, it is difficult to achieve high-throughput automatic registration without manual intervention. Here, we propose a deep learning-based registration method called DeepMapi to predict a deformation field used to register mesoscopic optical images to an atlas. We use a self-feedback strategy to address the problem of imbalanced training sets (sampling at a fixed step size in nonuniform brains of structures and deformations) and use a dual-hierarchical network to capture the large and small deformations. By comparing DeepMapi with other registration methods, we demonstrate its superiority over a set of ground truth images, including both optical and MRI images. DeepMapi achieves fully automatic registration of mesoscopic micro-optical images, even macroscopic MRI datasets, in minutes, with an accuracy comparable to those of manual annotations by anatomists.

Exploring the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of neurons is essential to understanding spinal cord function and associated diseases comprehensively. However, 3D imaging of the neuronal network in the broad region of the spinal cord at cellular resolution remains a challenge in the field of neuroscience. In this study, to obtain high-resolution 3D imaging of a detailed neuronal network in the mass of the spinal cord, the combination of synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography (SRμCT) and the Golgi-cox staining were used. We optimized the Golgi-Cox method (GCM) and developed a modified GCM (M-GCM), which improved background staining, reduced the number of artefacts, and diminished the impact of incomplete vasculature compared to the current GCM. Moreover, we achieved high-resolution 3D imaging of the detailed neuronal network in the spinal cord through the combination of SRμCT and M-GCM. Our results showed that the M-GCM increased the contrast between the neuronal structure and its surrounding extracellular matrix. Compared to the GCM, the M-GCM also diminished the impact of the artefacts and incomplete vasculature on the 3D image. Additionally, the 3D neuronal architecture was successfully quantified using a combination of SRμCT and M-GCM. The SRμCT was shown to be a valuable non-destructive tool for 3D visualization of the neuronal network in the broad 3D region of the spinal cord. Such a combinatorial method will, therefore, transform the presentation of Golgi staining from 2 to 3D, providing significant improvements in the 3D rendering of the neuronal network.

The impact of global dimming on crop yields is determined by the source–sink imbalance of carbon during grain filling - Liping Shao; Zijuan Liu; Haozheng Li; Yaling Zhang; Mingming Dong; Xuanhe Guo; Han Zhang; Baowei Huang; Rongbing Ni; Gang Li; Chuang Cai; Weiping Chen; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Global dimming reduces incident global radiation but increases the fraction of diffuse radiation, and thus affects crop yields; however, the underlying mechanisms of such an effect have not been revealed. We hypothesized that crop source–sink imbalance of either carbon (C) or nitrogen (N) during grain filling is a key factor underlying the effect of global dimming on yields. We presented a practical framework to assess both C and N source–sink relationships, using data of biomass and N accumulation from periodical sampling conducted in field experiments for wheat and rice from 2013 to 2016. We found a fertilization effect of the increased diffuse radiation fraction under global dimming, which alleviated the negative impact of decreased global radiation on source supply and sink growth, but the source supply and sink growth were still decreased by dimming, for both C and N. In wheat, the C source supply decreased more than the C sink demand, and as a result, crops remobilized more pre‐heading C reserves, in response to dimming. However, these responses were converse in rice, which presumably stemmed from the more increment in radiation use efficiency and the more limited sink size in rice than wheat. The global dimming affected source supply and sink growth of C more significantly than that of N. Therefore, yields in both crops were dependent more on the source–sink imbalance of C than that of N during grain filling. Our revealed source–sink relationships, and their differences and similarities between wheat and rice, provide a basis for designing strategies to alleviate the impact of global dimming on crop productivity.
