Evaluation of climatic variables as yield‐limiting factors for maize in Kansas - Qing Ye; Xiaomao Lin; Eric Adee; Doohong Min; Yared Assefa Mulisa; Dan O'Brien; Ignacio A. Ciampitti (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
Kansas is situated from the lower Missouri Basin to the high plains lying along the eastern slope of the Rockies so that distinct climates across the state make crop production systems vulnerable to changes in climate. Based on climatic indices such as growing degree‐day ( GDD ), extreme degree‐day ( EDD ), and precipitation (P), this study assessed the sensitivity of maize ( Zea mays L.) yield to a changing climate for seven diverse cropping areas from 1981 to 2013 across Kansas. Our results indicated that maize yield increased by 2.4 and 3.4% per annum 100 GDD increase under non‐irrigated (i.e. rainfed) and irrigated environments, respectively. Maize yield positive response to changes in GDD during the pre‐silking period was more significantly pronounced for irrigated environments than rainfed sites. Rainfed yields showed a significantly negative response to EDD (−3.0% per +10 EDD ) compared with irrigated environments (−1.2% per +10 EDD ). This EDD negative effect was more pronounced during post‐silking growth as compared with the pre‐silking period for both irrigated and non‐irrigated conditions. Yield sensitivity to a unit change of P (mm) was less than the sensitivity to a unit change of GDD (in °C days) and EDD (in °C days) indices. Nonetheless, maize productivity has a positive response to post‐silking P with a greater yield gain at rainfed sites compared with irrigated sites. Irrigation could partially mitigate the effect of extreme heat on maize yield potential. Because the frequency of extreme temperatures and P are predicted to increase in Kansas and the Great Plains region, this study might provide guidelines to farmers, crop consultants, and agronomists to manage maize production thereby providing the ability to mitigate or adapt to climate change impacts.

Summary The ubiquitin system modulates protein functions through targeting substrates for ubiquitination. Here, E2 conjugating enzyme MoRad6‐related ubiquitination pathways are identified and analyzed in Magnaporthe oryzae , the causal agent of rice blast disease. Disruption of MoRad6 leads to severe defects in growth, sporulation, conidial germination, appressorium formation, and plant infection. To depict the functions of MoRad6, three putative ubiquitin ligases, MoRad18, MoBre1 and MoUbr1, are also characterized. Deletion of MoRad18 causes minor phenotypic changes, while MoBre1 is required for growth, conidiation and pathogenicity in M. oryzae . Defects in ΔMobre1 likely resulted from the reduction in di‐ and tri‐methylation level of Histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Notably, MoUbr1 is crucial for conidial adhesion and germination, possibly by degrading components of cAMP/PKA and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) Pmk1 signaling pathways via the N‐end rule pathway. Germination failure of ΔMoubr1 conidia could be rescued by elevation of cAMP level or enhanced Pmk1 phosphorylation resulting from further deletion of MoIra1, the M. oryzae homolog of yeast Ira1/2. These reveal vital effects of cAMP/PKA and MAPK Pmk1 signaling on conidial germination in M. oryzae . Altogether, our results suggest that MoRad6‐mediated ubiquitination pathways are essential for the infection‐related development and pathogenicity of M. oryzae .

Multiscale partitioning of small mammal β‐diversity provides novel insights into the Quaternary faunal history of Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and Hengduan Mountains - Zhixin Wen; Qisen Yang; Qing Quan; Lin Xia; Deyan Ge; Xue Lv (Journal of Biogeography, 2016)
Aim To assess the validity of four hypothesized drivers (Quaternary climate, niche conservatism, contemporary climate, spatial configuration) of small mammal beta diversity in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau ( QTP ) and the Hengduan Mountains ( HDM ). Location QTP and HDM of China. Methods We partitioned the beta diversity of small mammals in QTP and HDM into the spatial turnover and nestedness components at the regional (longitudinal/latitudinal zones) and grid (1° × 1°) scales. Regional beta diversity was evaluated by calculating the multiple‐site dissimilarities and the distance‐dissimilarity relationships. We examined the relative effects of geographical distance, environmental difference, habitat diversity, geographical isolation and Quaternary climate stability on the beta diversity patterns. Results The overall beta diversity in all longitudinal/latitudinal zones of both regions was primarily driven by spatial turnover, longitudinal nestedness patterns were almost non‐existent in QTP . Turnover was stronger in the latitudinal direction of QTP and in the longitudinal direction of HDM , which corresponded to the general topography of each region. At the grid scale, higher turnover was primarily concentrated in mountainous areas. Turnover was highly correlated with geographical distance and environmental difference in both regions, and geographical isolation was another strong predictor of turnover in HDM . Habitat diversity independently explained most of the variation in nestedness of HDM . Main conclusions Spatial turnover is the primary cause of the small mammal beta diversity in QTP and HDM . Three non‐exclusive mechanisms including the historic effect of past glaciation, contemporary climate and spatial configuration of the landscape might act in combination to shape the beta diversity patterns in QTP and HDM , particularly the directional patterns. Our results challenge the prevailing view that the current distribution of QTP fauna is primarily explained by westward post‐glacial recolonization, and support the alternative idea that QTP retained considerable refugia and even centres of origin during the Quaternary glaciations.

I nner M ongolian steppe arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities respond more strongly to water availability than to nitrogen fertilization - Xiaoliang Li; Tingyao Zhu; Fei Peng; Qing Chen; Shan Lin; Peter Christie; Junling Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary Plant community productivity and species composition are primarily constrained by water followed by nitrogen ( N ) availability in the degraded semi‐arid grasslands of I nner M ongolia. However, there is a lack of knowledge on how long‐term N addition and water availability interact to influence the community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal ( AM ) fungi, and whether AM fungi contribute to the recovery of degraded grasslands. Soils and roots of the dominant plant species S tipa grandis and A gropyron cristatum were sampled under two water levels and N ) rates after 8 years. The abundance and diversity of AM fungi remained relatively resilient after the long‐term addition of water and N . Variation in the AM fungal communities in soils and roots were affected primarily by watering. AM fungal abundance and operational taxonomic unit ( OTU ) richness were significantly correlated with average aboveground net primary productivity and biomass of plant functional groups. Hyphal length density was significantly correlated with plant richness, the average biomass of S . grandis and perennial forbs. Both water and plant biomass had a considerable influence on the AM fungal assemblages. The tight linkages between AM fungi with aboveground plant productivity highlight the importance of plant–microbe interactions in the productivity and sustainability of these semi‐arid grassland ecosystems.

Physical‐biological coupling of N 2 fixation in the northwestern S outh C hina S ea coastal upwelling during summer - Run Zhang; Min Chen; Qing Yang; Yuanshao Lin; Huabin Mao; Yusheng Qiu; Jinlu Tong; E. Lv; Zhi Yang; Weifeng Yang; Jianping Cao (Limnology and Oceanography, 2015)
Here, we present the first combined results of N 2 fixation rates ( 15 N 2 assay), dissolved iron (dFe, 14 C assay) in the northwestern South China Sea (NWSCS) coastal upwelling region during summer. Surface N 2 fixation rate ranged between 0.1 nmol N L −1 d −1 and 5.6 nmol N L −1 d −1 (average 1.0 nmol N L −1 d −1 , n = 50) under nonbloom conditions. At a Trichodesmium bloom station, N 2 fixation rate was ∼ 3 orders of magnitude higher. Depth‐integrated N 2 fixation rate ranged between 7.5 μmol N m −2 d −1 and 163.1 μmol N m −2 d −1 (average 46.4 μmol N m −2 d −1 ). Our results indicate that N 2 fixation is unlikely limited by Fe availability in the NWSCS continental waters, instead, the coastal upwelling‐induced combined effects of physical and biological processes may have played a decisive role. With the upwelled cold, dFe‐rich, nutrient‐replete waters, nondiazotrophic phytoplankton growth would be preferentially enhanced while N 2 fixation was hindered due to relative deficiency of phosphate caused by massive phytoplankton utilization in the coastal upwelling. By comparison, N 2 fixation was notably elevated along with decreased PP in the offshore waters, probably due to a shift from P‐deficiency to N‐deficiency. Consistently, the contribution of N 2 fixation to PP (0.01–2.52%) also increased toward the open waters. As a significant external N source, summertime N 2 fixation is estimated to contribute a flux of 1.4 Gmol N to this area under nonbloom conditions. This study adds to the knowledge of N 2 fixation in the rarely studied subtropical coastal upwellings, and highlights the necessity of future comprehensive studies in such highly dynamic environments.

A versatile and efficient markerless gene disruption system for A cidithiobacillus thiooxidans : application for characterizing a copper tolerance related multicopper oxidase gene - Qing Wen; Xiangmei Liu; Huiyan Wang; Jianqun Lin (Environmental Microbiology, 2014)
Summary The acidophilic bioleaching bacteria can usually survive in high concentrations of copper ions because of their special living environment. However, little is known about the copper homeostatic mechanisms of A cidithiobacillus thiooxidans , an important member of bioleaching bacteria. Here, a putative multicopper oxidase gene ( cueO ) was detected from the draft genome of A . thiooxidans ATCC 19377. The transcriptional level of cueO in response to 10 mM CuSO 4 was upregulated 25.01 ± 2.59 folds. The response of P cueO to copper was also detected and might be stimulated by a putative CueR protein. Then, by using the counter‐selectable marker lacZ and enhancing the expression of endonuclease I ‐ SceI with tac promoter, a modified markerless gene disruption system was developed and the cueO gene disruption mutant (Δ cueO ) of A . thiooxidans was successfully constructed with a markedly improved second homologous recombination frequency of 0.28 ± 0.048. The Δ cueO mutant was more sensitive to external copper and nearly completely lost the phenoloxidase activity; however, the activity could be restored after complementing the cueO gene. All results suggest the close relation of cueO gene to copper tolerance in A . thiooxidans . In addition, the developed efficient markerless gene knockout method can also be introduced into other A cidithiobacillus strains.
