The inhibitory activities and antiviral mechanism of Viola philippica aqueous extracts against grouper iridovirus infection in vitro and in vivo - Qing Yu; Mingzhu Liu; Hehe Xiao; Siting Wu; Xianling Qin; Zijun Lu; Deqiang Shi; Siqiao Li; Huizhi Mi; Yibing Wang; Hongfei Su; Taixia Wang; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019)
Grouper iridovirus (GIV) is one of the most serious pathogens in mariculture and causes high mortality rates in cultured groupers; then, effective medicines for controlling GIV infections are urgently needed. Viola philippica is a well‐known medicinal plant, and the application of V. philippica aqueous extracts against GIV infection was assessed by different methods in this study. The results showed that the working concentration of V. philippica aqueous extracts was 10 mg/ml. V. philippica aqueous extracts below 10 mg/ml have no significant cytotoxic effects on cell viability, while extracts over 15 mg/ml decreased cell viability and showed cytotoxic activity. V. philippica aqueous extracts had excellent inhibitory effects against GIV infection in vitro and in vivo. The possible antiviral mechanism of V. philippica was further analysed, which indicated that V. philippica did no damages to GIV particles, but it could disturb GIV binding, entry and replication in host cells. V. philippica had the best inhibitory effects against GIV during viral infection stage of binding and replication in host cells. Overall, the results suggest that appropriate concentration of V. philippica aqueous extracts has great antiviral effects, making it an interesting candidate for developing effective medicines for preventing and controlling GIV infection in farmed groupers.

Development of a simple and rapid reverse transcription–loopmediated isothermal amplification (RT‐LAMP) assay for sensitive detection of tilapia lake virus - Jiyuan Yin; Qing Wang; Yingying Wang; Yingying Li; Weiwei Zeng; Jiexing Wu; Yan Ren; Yafang Tang; Caixia Gao; Huzi Hu; Sven M. Bergmann (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019)
Recently, substantial mortality of farmed and wild tilapia caused by tilapia lake virus (TiLV) infection has been observed worldwide. However, sensitive and reliable diagnostic method is limited. A reverse transcription–loopmediated isothermal amplification (RT‐LAMP) assay has been applied for the detection of TiLV nucleotide sequence. Six primers targeting two locations on the target gene based on a highly conserved sequence in the segment 1 (S1) region of the TiLV genome have been designed. The optimized RT‐LAMP reaction was maintained at the isothermal condition of 63°C for 45 min. And the amplifications could be verified by turbidity or a colour change with the addition of SYBR Green I. Subsequently, RT‐LAMP products could be observed by a ladder pattern following gel electrophoresis. The species‐specific assay showed that the method was sensitive enough to detect as low as 1.6 copies of viral particle, and the assay was highly specific because no cross‐reactivity was observed with other pathogens, and had a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 100% when TiLV‐positive samples and non‐target virus were tested. In summary, all the results demonstrate that this RT‐LAMP is a rapid, effective and sensitive method for TiLV detection in tilapia aquaculture.

Predicting temperature impacts on aquatic productivity: Questioning the metabolic theory of ecology's “canonical” activation energies - Qing Wang; Zhao Lyu; Said Omar; Stephen Cornell; Zhou Yang; David J. S. Montagnes (Limnology and Oceanography, 2019)
Microalgae contribute ~ 50% to global primary production, most of which is consumed by protozoa. Determining the thermal‐sensitivity of this trophic interaction is, therefore, fundamental to predicting impacts of climate change. Here, we question the application of current predictive approaches. Thermal responses are commonly described by the Arrhenius function: , where r is a rate (e.g., growth), A is a scaling factor, E a is the activation energy, k is the Boltzmann‐constant, and T is absolute temperature. The influential metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) proposes that estimates of E a for heterotrophs and autotrophs are 0.65 eV and 0.32 eV, respectively; when applied to specific growth rate of algae and protozoa, this difference has significant predictive consequences. Through literature review and statistical evaluation, we show that the MTE predictions do not apply to taxon‐specific responses of protozoa ( n = 103) or algae ( n = 183), with mean E a of 0.71 eV (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69–0.74) and 0.61 eV (95% CI: 0.58–0.63), respectively. To obtain these, we fitted a series of models where E a was constant within a defined group (e.g., protozoa), and the amplitude A depended on the individual responses within the group. Then, by applying the MTE and our predictions to a generic protozoan‐algal, predator‐prey model we show that: (1) the “canonical” MTE values lead to misrepresenting productivity by several fold; (2) a general response encompassing both groups (0.69 eV) should suffice for such models; and (3) applying our new responses has substantial effects on algal‐protozoan population dynamics over temperature shifts of ~ 5°C.

Precipitation is a significant parameter in many aspects such as agriculture, water management and climate variability. To characterize rainy season variations is important to understand precipitation variability under the effect of climate change. In this study, rainy season features (i.e., onset, retreat and rainy‐season precipitation) over the Huaihe River basin (HRB) and the response to different types of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), that is, central Pacific warming (CPW), eastern Pacific warming (EPW), eastern Pacific cooling (EPC), conventional ENSO and ENSO Modoki in the developing and decaying phases are evaluated. The multi‐scale moving t test was used to capture onset and retreat of rainy season. The possible dynamic causes of ENSO‐induced precipitation over the HRB, such as monsoon and atmospheric circulation, were also explored. Results show that (a) onset (retreat) of rainy season progressed northwards (westwards), with rainy‐season precipitation increasing from north to south; (b) rainy‐season precipitation showed a strong correlation to Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in Niño regions. Dry and wet signals were identified in different regions of the HRB in the developing and decaying phases of CPW, EPC and EPW. Special attention should be paid on decaying EPW, where totally dry signals were found, which can reach down to 25% below average precipitation; (c) developing El Niño Modoki and decaying El Niño showed totally dry signals, with decaying El Niño Modoki and conventional La Niña demonstrating overall increasing precipitation; (d) different performances of ENSO‐induced precipitation during rainy season over the HRB are attributable to the combined influences of the monsoon from the India Ocean and the anticyclonic flow in the western North Pacific (WNP). Stronger anticyclone and monsoon are generally associated with increasing rainy‐season precipitation. These results can improve predictability of rainy season features and ENSO‐induced precipitation over the Huaihe River basin.

Direct and indirect effects of climate on richness drive the latitudinal diversity gradient in forest trees - Chengjin Chu; James A. Lutz; Kamil Král; Tomáš Vrška; Xue Yin; Jonathan A. Myers; Iveren Abiem; Alfonso Alonso; Norm Bourg; David F.R.P. Burslem; Min Cao; Hazel Chapman; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2019)
Climate is widely recognised as an important determinant of the latitudinal diversity gradient. However, most existing studies make no distinction between direct and indirect effects of climate, which substantially hinders our understanding of how climate constrains biodiversity globally. Using data from 35 large forest plots, we test hypothesised relationships amongst climate, topography, forest structural attributes (stem abundance, tree size variation and stand basal area) and tree species richness to better understand drivers of latitudinal tree diversity patterns. Climate influences tree richness both directly, with more species in warm, moist, aseasonal climates and indirectly, with more species at higher stem abundance. These results imply direct limitation of species diversity by climatic stress and more rapid (co‐)evolution and narrower niche partitioning in warm climates. They also support the idea that increased numbers of individuals associated with high primary productivity are partitioned to support a greater number of species.

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.

Summary Acid rain can cause severe effects on soil biota and nutrient biogeochemical cycles in the forest ecosystem, but how plant‐symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi will modulate the effects remains unknown. Here, we conducted a full factorial field experiment in a Masson pine forest by simultaneously controlling the acidity of the simulated rain (pH 5.6 vs. pH 3.5) and the ectomycorrhizal fungi Pisolithus tinctorius inoculation (non‐inoculation vs. inoculation), to investigate the effects on ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers. After 10 months, compared with the control (rain pH 5.6, and non‐inoculation), simulated acid rain (pH 3.5) reduced soil nutrient content, decreased archaeal amoA gene abundance and inhibited denitrification enzyme activity. Also, simulated acid rain altered the community compositions of all the examined functional genes (archaeal amoA , bacterial amoA , nirK , nirS and nosZ ). However, inoculation with ectomycorrhizal fungi under acid rain stress recovered soil nutrient content, archaeal amoA gene abundance and denitrification enzyme activity to levels comparable to the control, suggesting that ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation ameliorates simulated acid rain effects. Taken together, ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation – potentially through improving soil substrate availability – could alleviate the deleterious effects of acid rain on nitrogen cycling microbes in forest soils.

Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) is an emerging disease threatening tilapia culture in many parts of the world. A cell line from the brain of tilapia, which was named TiB, was established, characterized and subcultured with more than 100 passages. The TiB cell line was optimally maintained at 27°C using medium 199 (M199) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS). Chromosome analysis revealed that 60% of TiB cells at passage 5 maintained the modal chromosome number 2 n = 44, while at passage 60, there were 43% of TiB cells with the diploid chromosome number 2 n = 50. A significant cytopathic effect was observed in TiB cells after infection with tilapia lake virus (TiLV‐2017A), and the viral replication in the cells was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence assays and viral titres, indicating the susceptibility of TiB cells to TiLV‐2017A. The viral titres of TiLV‐2017A in TiB cells reached 10 7.43 TCID 50 /ml within 10 days. The stable growth and susceptibility to fish viruses make TiB cells a useful tool for fish virus–host cell interaction and for immune response of fish.

Development of a VP 38 recombinant protein‐based indirect ELISA for detection of antibodies against grass carp reovirus genotype II (iELISA for detection of antibodies against GCRV II) - Weiwei Zeng; Yingying Wang; Yanmin Guo; Sven M. Bergmann; Jiyuan Yin; Yingying Li; Yan Ren; Cunbin Shi; Qing Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2018)
Currently, serological assays for grass carp reovirus genotype II ( GCRV ‐II) diagnosis are not available. In this study, an indirect enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) for the detection of antibodies against GCRV ‐II was developed. The structural protein VP 38 of GCRV ‐II was used as the coating antigen. Monoclonal antibodies ( mA b) against IgM of grass carp labelled with HRP were used as a secondary antibody. The antigen concentration and serum dilution were optimized using chess board titration. Furthermore, the specificity of indirect ELISA assay was confirmed by cross check with sera positive for other grass carp pathogens. In comparison with results obtained from indirect immunofluorescence assay ( IFA ) and Western blot by testing of 60 serum samples to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA , agreement between 90% and 96.7% was reached, respectively. A serological survey was performed using the assay with grass carp field serum samples. The seropositive rate of the 242 serum samples was 69.8%. In conclusion, the developed indirect ELISA is a very specific and sensitive test that will be useful for large‐scale serological surveys to detect indirectly GCRV II infections as well as to monitor the changes of antibody level after immunization.

Farmers’ Willingness to Participate in the Management of Small‐Scale Irrigation in China from a Social Capital Perspective - Fang Luo; Qing Wang; Fang Min Sun; Dan Xu; Cai Hong Sun (Irrigation and Drainage, 2018)
Because of the different patterns of rural clan society and the 'peer' mode of farmers' interactions, rural households make decisions based on learning, imitation, interaction, and trial and error, the realization of which depends on farmers' social capital. The concept of social capital is introduced to analyse farmers' willingness to participate in the management of small‐scale irrigation. The study deconstructs social capital pathways of reducing costs and improving productivity in agriculture. Based on field survey data of 285 farmers in Hubei Province, China, an ordered Logit model is used to analyse farmers' willingness to participate in irrigation management. It is shown that social capital and its four dimensions, i.e. social trust, institutional trust, social networks and social norms, all significantly improve farmers' willingness to participate in such management. Other factors also influence willingness to participate. The larger the cultivated area, agricultural income, or proportion of paddy field, the greater the willingness to participate in this management. The educational level of the head of a household significantly reduces farmers' willingness. Hence, it is recommended to improve farmers' willingness to participate in irrigation management by attaching importance to traditional social cohesiveness, promoting moderate scale management, and orienting rural education toward agriculture. © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The key gluconeogenic gene PCK1 is crucial for virulence of Botrytis cinerea via initiating its conidial germination and host penetration - Jian‐Kang Liu; Hao‐Wu Chang; Yue Liu; Yu (Haity) Qin; Yu‐Han Ding; Lan Wang; Yue Zhao; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Sheng‐Nan Cao; Le‐Tao Li; Wei Liu; Gui‐Hua Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The process of initiation of host invasion and survival of some foliar phytopathogenic fungi in the absence of external nutrients on host leaf surfaces remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that gluconeogenesis plays an important role in the process and nutrient‐starvation adaptation before the pathogen host invasion. Deletion of phosphoenolpyruvate c arboxy k inase gene BcPCK1 in gluconeogenesis in Botrytis cinerea , the causative agent of grey mould, resulted in the failure of the Δ Bcpck1 mutant conidia to germinate on hard and hydrophobic surface and penetrate host cells in the absence of glucose, reduction in conidiation and slow conidium germination in a nutrient‐rich medium. The wild‐type and Δ Bcpck1 conidia germinate similarly in the presence of glucose (higher concentration) as the sole carbon source. Conidial glucose‐content should reach a threshold level to initiate germination and host penetration. Infection structure formation by the mutants displayed a glucose‐dependent fashion, which corresponded to the mutant virulence reduction. Exogenous glucose or complementation of BcPCK1 completely rescued all the developmental and virulence defects of the mutants. Our findings demonstrate that BcPCK1 plays a crucial role in B. cinerea pathogenic growth and virulence, and provide new insights into gluconeogenesis mediating pathogenesis of plant fungal pathogens via initiation of conidial germination and host penetration.

Gcn5‐dependent histone H3 acetylation and gene activity is required for the asexual development and virulence of Beauveria bassiana - Qing Cai; Juan‐Juan Wang; Bo Fu; Sheng‐Hua Ying; Ming‐Guang Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Gcn5 is a core histone acetyltransferase that catalyzes histone H3 acetylation on N‐terminal lysine residues in yeasts and was reported to catalyze H3K9/K14 acetylation required for activating asexual development in Aspergillus . Here, we report a localization of Gcn5 ortholog in the nucleus and cytoplasm of Beauveria bassiana , a fungal insect pathogen. Deletion of gcn5 led to hypoacetylated H3 at K9/14/18/27 and 97% reduction in conidiation capacity as well as severe defects in colony growth and conidial thermotolerance. Two master conidiation genes, namely brlA and abaA , were transcriptionally repressed to undetectable level in Δ gcn5 , but sharply upregulated in wild‐type, at the beginning time of conidiation. Based on chromatin immunoprecipitation, both DNA and acetylation levels of the distal and proximal fragments of the brlA promoter bound by acetylated H3K14 alone were upregulated in wild‐type, but not in Δ gcn5 , at the mentioned time. In Δ gcn5 , normal cuticle infection was abolished while virulence through cuticle‐bypassing infection was greatly attenuated, accompanied by drastically reduced activities of putative cuticle‐degrading enzymes, retarded dimorphic transition and transcriptional repression of associated genes. These findings unveil a novel mechanism by which Gcn5 activates asexual development pathway by acetylating H3K14 and regulates the virulence‐related cellular events in B. bassiana .

Essential role of Rpd3‐dependent lysine modification in the growth, development and virulence of Beauveria bassiana - Qing Cai; Zhi‐Kang Wang; Wei Shao; Sheng‐Hua Ying; Ming‐Guang Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Rpd3 is a class I histone deacetylase that reverses lysine acetylation thus influencing cellular processes and functions. However, its role in fungal insect pathogens has not been explored yet. Here we show that Rpd3‐dependent lysine modification and gene expression orchestrate growth, conidiation and virulence in Beauveria bassiana. Deletion of Rpd3 resulted in severe growth defects on various carbon/nitrogen sources, 97% reduction in conidiation capacity and drastic attenuation in virulence. These phenotypes concurred with differential expression of 1479 proteins and hyperacetylation or hypoacetylation of 2227 lysine residues on 1134 proteins. Many of these proteins fell into carbon/nitrogen metabolism and cell rescue/defence/virulence, indicating vital roles of Rpd3‐dependent protein expression and lysine modification in the fungal growth and virulence. Intriguingly, lysine residues of four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) and many histone acetyltransferases were also hyper‐ or hypoacetylated in Δ rpd3 , suggesting direct and indirect roles for Rpd3 in genome‐wide lysine modification. However, crucial development activators were transcriptionally repressed and not found in either proteome or acetylome. Single/double‐site‐directed H3K9/K14 mutations for hyper/hypoacetylation exerted significant impacts on conidiation and dimorphic transition crucial for fungal virulence. Altogether, Rpd3 mediates growth, asexual development and virulence through transcriptional/translational regulation and posttranslational lysine modification in B. bassiana .
