Positional cloning identified HvTUBULIN8 as the candidate gene for round lateral spikelet (RLS) in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) - Dandan Qin; Gang Liu; Rui Liu; Chunchao Wang; Fuchao Xu; Qing Xu; Yu Ling; Guoqing Dong; Yanchun Peng; Shuangtao Ge; Ganggang Guo; Jing Dong; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2023)
Key message Map-based cloning, subcellular localization, virus-induced-gene-silencing and transcriptomic analysis reveal HvTUB8 as a candidate gene with pleiotropic effects on barley spike and leaf development via ethylene and chlorophyll metabolism. Abstract Barley lateral spikelet morphology and grain shape play key roles in grain physical quality and yield. Several genes and QTLs for these traits have been cloned or fine mapped previously. Here, we report the phenotypic and genotypic analysis of a barley mutant with round lateral spikelet (rls) from cv. Edamai 934. rls had round lateral spikelet, short but round grain, shortened awn, thick glume and dark green leaves. Histocytologic and ultrastructural analysis revealed that the difference of grain shape of rls was caused by change of cell arrangement in glume, and the dark leaf color resulted from enlarged chloroplast. HvTUBULIN8 ( HvTUB8 ) was identified as the candidate gene for rls by combination of RNA-Seq, map-based-cloning, virus-induced-gene-silencing (VIGS) and protein subcellular location. A single G-A substitution at the third exon of HvTUB8 resulted in change of Cysteine 354 to tyrosine. Furthermore, the mutant isoform Hvtub8 could be detected in both nucleus and cytoplasm, whereas the wild-type protein was only in cytoplasm and granular organelles of wheat protoplasts. Being consistent with the rare phenotype, the “A” allele of HvTUB8 was only detected in rls , but not in a worldwide barley germplasm panel with 400 accessions. VIGS confirmed that HvTUB8 was essential to maintain spike integrity. RNA-Seq results suggested that HvTUB8 may control spike morphogenesis via ethylene homeostasis and signaling, and control leaf color through chlorophyll metabolism. Collectively, our results support HvTUB8 as a candidate gene for barley spike and leaf morphology and provide insight of a novel mechanism of it in barley development.

Andrographolide ameliorates hepatic steatosis by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease - Li-Sha Ran; Ya-Zeng Wu; Yi-Wen Gan; Hong-Lian Wang; Li-Juan Wu; Chun-Mei Zheng; Yao Ming; Ran Xiong; Yong-Lin Li; Shi-Hang Lei; Xue Wang; Xiao-Qing Lao; et al. (Journal of Natural Medicines, 2023)
Excessive intrahepatocellular lipid accumulation or steatosis is caused by abnormal lipid metabolism and a common character of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which may progress into cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Andrographolide (Andro) is the primary active ingredient extracted from Andrographis paniculata , showing a protective role against dietary steatosis with the mechanism not fully understood. In this study, we showed that administration of Andro (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks, respectively) attenuated obesity and metabolic syndrome in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice with improved glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and reduced hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. HFD-fed mice presented hepatic steatosis, which was significantly prevented by Andro. In vitro, Andro decreased the intracellular lipid droplets in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. The selected RT-PCR array revealed a robust expression suppression of the fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) by Andro treatment. Most importantly, we found that Andro consistently reduced the expression of FATP2 in both the oleic acid-treated LO2 cells and liver tissues of HFD-fed mice. Overexpression of FATP2 abolished the lipid-lowering effect of Andro in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. Andro treatment also reduced the fatty acid uptake in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells, which was blunted by FATP2 overexpression. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel mechanism underlying the anti-steatosis effect of Andro by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake, suggesting the potential therapeutic application of Andro in the treatment of NAFLD.

Tracing the source–sink process of fluvio-clastic materials: Magnetic records of surface sediments in the Yangtze River basin - Xianbin Liu; Jing Chen; Wei Yue; Qing Wang; Chao Zhan; Lin Zeng; Jian Song; Longsheng Wang; Buli Cui (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In this study, we collected surface sediments from the mainstream and major tributaries of the Yangtze River to systematically analyse their magnetic properties, and discuss the implications for tracing source–sink process of fluvio-clastic materials. Our results showed that the surface sediments from tributaries in the upper basin had a significantly higher content of ferromagnetic minerals and coarser grain sizes than that in the mid-lower basin. The magnetic susceptibility (χ lf ) of surface sediments from the mainstream was 34.16*10 -8 m 3 /kg at Shigu, rapidly rose to 230.56*10 -8 m 3 /kg at Yibin, and then dropped to 68.92*10 -8 m 3 /kg at the river mouth. The χ lf of Yalong River sediments in the upper basin was 276.86*10 -8 m 3 /kg, considerably higher than that of the sediments from other tributaries, and greatly contribute to the χ lf of the sediments in the mainstream, reflecting the dominant constraining role of the Emeishan basalts. The distinctive magnetic properties of the upper core sediments from Jianghan basin and the Yangtze delta closely match those of surficial river sediments of the upper Yangtze basin. This may indicate the addition of clastic materials eroded from the upper basin, resulting from the cut-through of the Three Gorges during the evolution of the Yangtze River that occurred in the late Cenozoic. Investigating the magnetic properties of the surface sediments in the Yangtze River basin can provide insights into the source–sink process of clastic materials and environmental changes.

Geomorphologic evolution of the shallow-buried abandoned Yellow River delta during the last 2000 years - Qing Wang; Lin Zeng; Chao Zhan; Xianbin Liu; Longsheng Wang; Shanshan Cheng; Buli Cui (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Different from the continuous development of many river deltas since the major Holocene transgression, the modern Yellow River delta (YRD) remained for nearly 1000 years (from 893 AD to 1855 AD) in an abandonment state, until after 1855 AD when it was buried after the Yellow River entered the sea via Lijin. In this study we used optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating and grain size and sedimentary facies analysis of four borehole cores, combined with an analysis of landform morphology, to reconstruct the history of the ancient abandoned YRD. The results indicate that after the delta was abandoned due to the reduced sediment supply by the Yellow River in 893 AD, a sandy coast developed under the influence of wave erosion, and offshore shell ridges were formed beyond the coastline. During the interval from the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) to the Little Ice Age (LIA), driven by climate change and storm surges, the shell ridges migrated laterally, widened and rose, while sediment accumulation in the landward-side interfluvial floodplains was relatively weak. This configuration subsequently constituted a coastal highland – plain depression system. After 1077 AD, this system, together with the abandoned delta, was eroded by the Daqing River estuary. After 1855 AD, the abandoned delta landform system was completely buried by Yellow River sediments, and the wave-controlled sandy coast was transformed to a tide-controlled silt-mud coast. We summarize these findings in the form of a geomorphic model of the evolution of the abandoned delta from the MWP to the LIA. Overall, our results highlight the geomorphic effects of the sediment-laden river delta and the response of the abandoned delta geomorphic system on the millennial timescale, and they provide a theoretical foundation for predicting the geomorphic evolution of a major river delta on different timescales, against the background of global change.

Brain microstructural alterations in the left precuneus mediate the association between KIBRA polymorphism and working memory in healthy adults: a diffusion kurtosis imaging study - Junxia Wang; Sichu Wu; Yi Sun; Jiaming Lu; Jilei Zhang; Yu Fang; Zhao Qing; Xue Liang; Wen Zhang; Qian Chen; Xin Zhang; Bing Zhang (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2022)
Kidney and brain expressed protein (KIBRA) rs17070145 is associated with working memory function and cognitive processes. However, the neural mechanisms underlying these associations are not fully understood. This study aimed to explore the effect of KIBRA polymorphism on brain microstructure and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) fluctuations using diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in 163 young adults. We also investigated that whether the imaging alterations mediated the association between KIBRA gene and working memory performance. Voxel-based analysis of DKI data showed that KIBRA C-allele carriers exhibited increased axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD) and mean diffusivity (MD) as well as decreased fractional anisotropy (FA), mean kurtosis (MK) and radial kurtosis (RK) compared with KIBRA TT homozygotes, primarily involving the prefrontal lobe, left precuneus and the left superior parietal white matter. Meanwhile, KIBRA C-allele carriers exhibited decreased amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) in the left precuneus compared to KIBRA TT homozygotes. Mediation analysis revealed that the DKI metrics (MK and RK) of the left precuneus mediated the effect of the KIBRA polymorphism on working memory performance. Moreover, the MK and RK in the left precuneus were positively correlated with ALFF in the same brain region. These findings suggest that abnormal DKI parameters may provide a gene-brain-behavior pathway in which KIBRA rs17070145 affects working memory by modulating brain microstructure in the left precuneus. This illustrates that DKI may provide additional biological information and reveal new insights into the neural mechanisms of the KIBRA polymorphism.

LINC00511 promotes cervical cancer progression by regulating the miR-497-5p/MAPK1 axis - Mingming Lu; Qing Gao; Yafei Wang; Jie Ren; Tingting Zhang (Apoptosis, 2022)
Background Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) exhibits a crucial role in multiple human malignancies. The expression of lncRNA LINC00511, reportedly, is aberrantly up-regulated in several types of tumors. Our research was aimed at deciphering the role and mechanism of LINC00511 in the progression of cervical cancer (CC). Method Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to quantify the expression levels of LINC00511, miR-497-5p and MAPK1 mRNA in CC tissues and cell lines. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and Transwell assays were conducted for detecting the proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cells. Dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments were performed to verify the targeting relationships amongst LINC00511, miR-497-5p and MAPK1. Besides, MAPK1 expression in CC cells was detected via Western blot after LINC00511 and miR-497-5p were selectively regulated. Results Up-regulation of LINC00511 expression in CC tissues and cell lines was observed, which was in association with tumor size, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis of the patients. LINC00511 overexpression facilitated the proliferation, migration and invasion of CC cells, while opposite effects were observed after knockdown of LINC00511. Mechanistically, LINC00511 was capable of targeting miR-497-5p and up-regulating MAPK1 expression. Conclusion LINC00511/miR-497-5p/MAPK1 axis regulates CC progression.

Differential Evolution Algorithm-Aided Time-Varying Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation for OFDM Underwater Acoustic Communication - Haijun Wang; Weihua Jiang; Qing Hu; Jianjun Zhang; Yanqing Jia (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the preferred scheme for high-speed communication in the field of underwater acoustic communication. However, it is very sensitive to the carrier frequency offset (CFO). This study used a time-varying CFO estimation method aided by the differential evolution (DE) algorithm to accurately estimate the CFO of an OFDM system. This method was based on the principle that the received OFDM signal with inter-carrier interference could be considered by a Multi Carrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system on the receiver side because MC-CDMA is a technology that combines OFDM and code division multiple access (CMDA). Because it is suitable for solving problems where there are dependencies between adjacent variables, the DE algorithm was used to capture the varying CFO values on the adjacent blocks. The spreading code of the MC-CDMA was obtained based on the estimated CFO values, which were elements in the DE solutions. Then the received signal was reconstructed. The Root-Mean-Square Error between the reconstructed and actual received signals was used as the cost function, and the CFO was estimated using the DE algorithm because of its powerful parallel search capability. The simulation results showed that the proposed method had a high estimation accuracy. Compared with other intelligent optimization algorithms such as the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing mutated-genetic algorithm, the time-varying CFO estimation performance of the DE algorithm was better because of its unique ability to solve problems with dependencies between adjacent variables. Specifically, under the condition of a high signal-to-noise ratio, the improvement of estimation accuracy reaches 36.13%, and the Bit Error Rate of demodulation is thus reduced by 75%, compared with the reference algorithms. In addition, the proposed method also has good applicability to modulation methods. For phase-shift keying and quadrature amplitude modulation, in particular, the proposed method not only achieved high-precision time-varying CFO estimation values, but also reduced the demodulation deterioration caused by noise.

Habitat decline of the largest known Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) population in poorly protected areas associated with the hypoxic zone - Lang Guo; Dingyu Luo; Ri-Qing Yu; Chen Zeng; Nuoyan Huang; Hongri Wang; Yuping Wu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Reserve planning based on the investigation of the core habitat distribution of wild cetaceans is a powerful conservation strategy for protecting target species. However, studies on core habitats and their variations at the large-scale distribution of cetaceans are limited. In this study, we conducted a seven years (2015-2021) boat-based field observation surveys with highly applicable and generalized methods to analyze the habitat changes and how these changes influenced the largest known Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ) population in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), China. Our findings revealed that there is 3204 km 2 of dolphin habitat in the PRE, and dolphin distribution preferences are related to nutrients and biological resources. The decreasing trend of dolphin sighting rates in most areas (73.2%) indicated that the dolphin habitat had declined, and the annual habitat decline rate (2.83%; 95% confidence interval: 0.58%-5.08%) was consistent with the population decline rate. The annual habitat decline rate in the hypoxic zone revealed that low dolphin sighting rates from March to October in the hypoxic zone was 0.43% faster than that in the non-hypoxic zone, indicating long-term sustained effects of summer hypoxia on the dolphin population. Existing reserves have partially prevented habitat decline. However, more than 82.3% of the habitat has not been effectively protected and encounters the threats of pollution and hypoxic stress. This study offers new scientific evidence for developing effective monitoring strategies for humpback dolphin populations in the PRE, and also help establish spatial planning and management measures for reserve habitats.

Clustering of large‐scale circulation patterns during tropical cyclone preformation period using self‐organizing maps - Zi‐Qing Wang; Guang‐Hua Chen; Yu‐Hui Zhao (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Based on self‐organizing maps (SOM), clustering analysis is performed on the lower‐level large‐scale flow fields centred at the tropical cyclone (TC) genesis points averaged over the 24‐hr TC preformation period. A total of 461 TCs over the western North Pacific (WNP) from June to November in 2000–2019 are classified into five patterns, that is, convergence (CON) pattern, monsoon trough (MT) pattern, pre‐existing cyclone (PC) pattern, subtropical high (SH) pattern and easterly wave (EW) pattern. The most frequent and southmost pattern, the CON pattern, is characterized by a confluent zone of monsoonal southwesterly flows and easterly flows. The second dominant pattern, the MT pattern, occurs the westmost and has a larger cyclonic vorticity in the strongest monsoon trough among the five patterns. In contrast, cyclogenesis in the SH pattern is featured by both the confluent zone and the cyclonic wind shear largely attributed to the subtropical high. The PC pattern features a pre‐existing cyclone to the northwest. The EW pattern with easterly flows in all four adjacent quadrants has the smallest number of TC formation and relatively northeast genesis location. Statistics also shows that the CON pattern dominates in late season, while the other four mainly appear in summertime. Large‐scale environmental conditions are quantified and comparisons with previous studies are also discussed.

PITPNC1 promotes the thermogenesis of brown adipose tissue under acute cold exposure - Guoqing Tang; Chengxin Ma; Liangkui Li; Shaoyan Zhang; Fengsheng Li; Jin Wu; Yesheng Yin; Qing Zhu; Yan Liang; Ru Wang; He Huang; Tong-Jin Zhao; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an essential role in non-shivering thermogenesis. The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PITPNC1) is identified as a lipid transporter that reciprocally transfers phospholipids between intracellular membrane structures. However, the physiological significance of PITPNC1 and its regulatory mechanism remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PITPNC1 is a key player in thermogenesis of BAT. While Pitpnc1 −/− mice do not differ with wildtype mice in body weight and insulin sensitivity on either chow or high-fat diet, they develop hypothermia when subjected to acute cold exposure at 4°C. The Pitpnc1 −/− brown adipocytes exhibit defective β-oxidation and abnormal thermogenesis-related metabolism pathways in mitochondria. The deficiency of lipid mobilization in Pitpnc1 −/− brown adipocytes might be the result of excessive accumulation of phosphatidylcholine and a reduction of phosphatidic acid. Our findings have uncovered significant roles of PITPNC1 in mitochondrial phospholipid homeostasis and BAT thermogenesis.

Long‐term drought aggravates instability of alpine grassland productivity to extreme climatic event - Yun L. He; Jin S. Wang; Da S. Tian; Quan Quan; Lin Jiang; Fang F. Ma; Lu Yang; Fang Y. Zhang; Qing P. Zhou; Shu L. Niu (Ecology, 2022)
The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are increasing and expected to increase more in the future, together with global change. However, how extreme events and global change factors interactively influence community structures and ecosystem processes is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the responses of the temporal stability and resilience of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of an alpine meadow to an extreme flooding event under different treatments of experimental drought and clipping. We found that ecosystems that were exposed to drought treatments for 3 years significantly decreased the temporal stability of community productivity but increased resilience to flooding, whereas their resistance to or recovery from flooding did not change. Neither clipping nor its interaction with drought altered the responses of these community stability metrics to flooding. Drought treatments significantly decreased plant species richness and asynchrony and dominant species stability, leading to a decrease in temporal stability and an increase in resilience in response to the extreme flooding event. The study also revealed that the change in species asynchrony was the dominant impact pathway determining the responses of resilience and temporal stability to flooding. Our results highlight that alpine grassland that experiences a multiyear drought may aggravate the instability of community productivity to extreme climatic events by reducing species asynchrony.

Assessment of the effects of integrated coastal zone management based on synthetic control method - Yiting Qing; Xin Nie; Han Wang; Zhuxia Wei; Hui Pang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
As a policy tool to promote sustainable development of coastal zone cities, Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) was introduced to China for experimentation in the 1990s. Among them, the Xiamen government took ICZM as an opportunity to conduct a large number of policy pilots, making the evaluation of the policy effects worth studying. This paper takes Xiamen city as the research object based on 180,000 samples from 188 Chinese municipalities from 1980-2017. Based on the theoretical framework of the Social-Economic-Natural Complex Ecosystem (SENCE), we use the synthetic control method (SCM) to conduct its two rounds of policy pilots. The study found that the first round of experiments focused on environmental pollution prevention and control, and the economic development gap between Xiamen and similar coastal zone cities was narrowed despite the economic lag effect. Finally, based on robustness tests, policy recommendations are made for coastal zone cities.

Artificial modifications lead to the formation of persistent bare patches in saltmarshes - Qing Wang; Dongdong Shao; Baoshan Cui; Ze Ren; Zhonghua Ning; Fang Gao; Andong Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Human activities have profoundly affected coastal wetlands. Apart from direct occupation, indirect influences are usually caused by modifications to environmental conditions, which are various and complex. Saltmarsh bare patches might be related to these artificial modifications. They have little or no vegetation cover and lose some important functions. Hence, the mechanisms underlying saltmarsh bare patches and the effects of artificial modifications should be studied. We took the Yellow River Delta as our research object and explored the characteristics of saltmarsh bare patches in the Yellow River Estuary Natural Reserve. Our results show that artificial modifications limit some key plant life stages and thus hinder the natural regeneration process. Once suffering from fatal events, such as long-term inundation or artificial damage, this limitation will lead to the formation of persistent bare patches in saltmarshes. First, a shortage of local seed sources will be induced by the death of local plants when they are affected by a fatal event. Second, the replenishment of external seeds is often constrained by dikes and dams. Third, construction activities and the prolonged high-water inundation events can lead to soil compaction and the lack of microtopographic heterogeneity, which will hinder the retention and anchorage of seeds. Overall, it is essential to realize the underlying mechanisms of persistent bare patches and their potential to be included in cost-effective restoration or management plans.

Starvation shrinks the mussel foot secretory glands and impairs the byssal attachment - Yi Zheng; Yue-Ming Yang; Yue-Feng Xu; Yu-Qing Wang; Xue Shi; Gao-Hai Zheng; Yi-Feng Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mussel is an economically and ecologically important species widely distributed throughout the world. The mussel adheres to the attachment substrate by secreting byssus external to the body. Various environmental and biological factors influence the process of byssus secretion, and the present study investigated the effect of starvation on byssal secretion in the hard-shelled mussel Mytilus coruscus . Histological changes in mussel foot secretory glands and gene expression of mussel foot proteins were also determined. The experimental setup consisted of starvation treatments for 7, 14 and 21 days, and the control groups. The results showed that the number of produced byssus was higher in the starvation group compared to the control (CTR) group, and the starvation group had a significantly higher of byssal shedding number from 6 days of starvation treatment onwards ( p < 0.05). The byssal thread diameter was significantly reduced in all starvation treatment groups ( p < 0.05). However, starvation treatment had no effect on the length of the byssal thread ( p > 0.05). After 21 days of starvation treatment, the byssal thread volume was significantly lower than that of the CTR group ( p < 0.05). A significant decrease in the breaking force of the byssal thread was observed after 14 and 21 days of starvation treatment ( p < 0.05), along with an upward shift in the breakpoints. Starvation treatment significantly reduced the percentage of foot secretory glands area to total tissue ( p < 0.05). The expression of the mussel foot protein genes ( Mcfp-1P and Mcfp-1T ) was significantly up-regulated at 7 days of starvation treatment ( p < 0.05). These findings reveal that starvation weakens byssal thread performance by influencing mussel foot secretory glands, which increases the dislodgment risks of suspended-cultured mussels.

Dynamic effects of short-term exercise on muscle texture and gut flora in the hybrid (Megalobrama amblycephala♀ × Ancherythroculter nigrocauda♂) - Huijie Wei; Lang Zhang; Qing Li; Yali Yu; Yanhong Sun; Ziwei Song; Pei Li; Tao Mao; Jian Chen; Li He; Guiying Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Fillet texture plays a significant role in consumer acceptance, which heavily influenced by exercise according to previous studies. “Xianfeng No. 2”, a novel hybrid of Megalobrama amblycephala ( M. amblycephala ) (♀) and Ancherythroculter nigrocauda ( A. nigrocauda ) (♂), with characteristics of quick growth, good disease resistance, and anti-stress capability, is one of an important aquaculture fish species in China, however, the ways to improve fillet quality in this species remains unknown. In this study, a short-term exercise trial (0-16d), hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and texture analysis were carried out to determine the effects of exercise on muscle cellularity and texture. Furthermore, 16S rRNA analysis was performed to determine the impacts of exercise on the intestinal microbiota. Compared with non-exercised group (0d), exercised groups showed influences in muscle cellularity (decreased muscle fiber diameter and increased muscle fiber density) and improvements in muscle texture (increased hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness). In addition, 16S rRNA sequencing analysis exhibited that short-term exercise could significantly increase the community richness and diversity, as well as alter the composition of gut microflora in this hybrid species. At the level of phylum, the relative richness of Proteobacteria , Firmicutes , Bacteroidetes , and Fusobacteria changed remarkably after short-term exercise. At the level of genus, the relative richness of Pseudomonas , Acinetobacter , Stenotrophomonas , Alpinimonas , Rhodococcus , Shewanella , Brevundimonas changed significantly, suggested that short-term swimming exercise might increase intrinsic antimicrobial resistance and promote denitrification capacity of this hybrid species.

Transcriptome Analysis of Greenfin Horse-Faced Filefish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis) Gills in Response to Amyloodinium ocellatum (AO) Infection - Li-Guo Yang; Yue Wang; Wen-Bin Xu; Bo Qin; Na Ying; Xue-Feng Song; Yan-Feng Yue; Xiao-Shan Wang; Bian-Bian Zhang; Yan-Qing Wu (Fishes, 2022)
The greenfin horse-faced filefish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis) is susceptible to recurrent Amyloodinium ocellatum (AO) infestation over the grow-out production cycle. This parasite breeds mainly on the gills, causing hypoxia in the fish body, and leading to many deaths. The host-parasite response drives a complex immune reaction, which is poorly understood. To generate a model for host-parasite interaction and the pathogenesis of AO in greenfin horse-faced filefish, an RNA-seq approach, differential gene expression, GO, and KEGG analyses were employed. Overall, 624 new genes and 2076 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected, including 942 upregulated and 1134 downregulated genes in the gills. Compared with the control group, the expression of leptin a, GTPase IMAP family member 4, and NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 3 was significantly higher in the AO-infected group. Conversely, cell wall integrity and stress response component 1-like, and hepcidin-like were significantly downregulated in the gills of AO-infected fish. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs were significantly enriched in signaling pathways associated with viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor and cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction. Collectively, this transcriptomic study provides novel molecular insights into the pathology caused by AO infestation and alternative theories for future research implementing strategies to control and manage AO.

On the influences of the continental shelf bathymetry correction in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica - Chong Sun; Chengyan Liu; Zhaomin Wang; Liangjun Yan; Yixuan Tao; Qing Qin; Jiangchao Qian (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The bathymetry around Antarctica can govern the shelf sea circulations and play a key role in conditioning water masses. In Prydz Bay, the Prydz Bay Gyre and coastal currents are also determined by the continental shelf topography. However, due to the paucity of beam echo sounding data, the bathymetric datasets in Prydz Bay still have large uncertainties. With the aid of in situ hydrographic observations, this study focuses on the correction of an up-to-date bathymetric dataset and the resultant influences on the shelf circulation and the basal melting of the ice shelves. The corrected bathymetry mainly improves the biased shallow representations in the uncorrected bathymetric data set, with a maximum change of ~500 m deepening in the eastern flank of Prydz Bay. Sensitivity numerical experiments show that the bathymetric corrections in Prydz Bay have a significant impact on the circulation pattern and onshore warm water intrusions. In addition, the corrected bathymetry markedly decreases the heat transport towards the calving front of the Amery Ice Shelf. The onshore heat transport reduces by ~22.18% from ~5.23×10 13 J s -1 to ~4.07×10 13 J s -1 over the outer shelf. Over the inner shelf, the heat transport towards the Amery Ice Shelf reduces by ~18.15% from ~5.95×10 13 J s -1 to ~4.87×10 13 J s -1 . Consequently, the temporally and spatially averaged basal melting rate of the Amery Ice Shelf reduces by ~13.04% from ~0.69 m yr -1 to ~0.60 m yr -1 .

Starch accumulation dynamics and transcriptome analysis of Chlorella sorokiniana during transition of sulfur nutritional status - Haiqing Xu; Jinzhi Yang; Xu Wang; Qing Peng; Yanxia Han; Xudong Liu; Kexin Liu; Shijuan Dou; Liyun Li; Guozhen Liu; Ming Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Microalgae can effectively accumulate starch by using nutritional limitation methods in the context of bioalcohol fuel production. However, relatively few studies have focused on starch accumulation in microalgae and its molecular basis, especially under sulfur limitation conditions. In this study, the starch accumulation dynamics and physiological responses of Chlorella sorokiniana under sulfur starvation (SS) and sulfur replenishment (SR) conditions were investigated, and the genes involved in the transcriptional regulation were explored using RNA-seq. The starch content in C. sorokiniana cells significantly increased from 1.6% to 55.0% of dry weight within 24 h under SS conditions, and then, it decreased to 3.4% within 12 h after transition to SR conditions. However, cell growth was inhibited, and pigment content decreased under SS conditions. Using RNA-seq analysis, a total of 9720 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) induced by sulfur status were obtained. These genes were narrowed down to 454 starvation and replenishment cross-validated (SRV)-DEGs, among which 283 SRV-DEGs were significantly up-regulated and 171 SRV-DEGs were down-regulated under SS conditions, and returned to their previous state under SR conditions. The SRV-DEGs enriched in the sulfate metabolism pathway were all up-regulated under SS conditions after 6 h to speed up the sulfur metabolic cycle, and the transcriptional abundance of a sulfate transporter (SULTR4), cysteine synthase[O-acetylserine(thiol)-lyase] (OASTL), serine acetyltransferase (SAT), and methanethiol oxidase (SELENBP1) increased 8.6-fold, 12.6-fold, 8.7-fold, and 12.4-fold, respectively. Protein synthesis was correspondingly inhibited, which resulted in the reallocation of carbon and elevated the starch synthesis pathway, in which the expressions of glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) and starch synthase (SS) were up-regulated 12.0- and 3.0-fold, respectively. The fatty acid desaturase (FAD) and phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) in the lipid synthesis pathway were strongly up-regulated 8.8- and 16.2-fold, respectively, indicating the competitive synthesis of lipids. The down-regulation of SRV-DEGs associated with carbon fixation, such as those in the Calvin cycle, possibly affected cell growth. The time-resolved transcriptional analysis identified the SRV-DEGs, revealing the underlying starch accumulation mechanism, as well as the relationship with cell growth and lipid synthesis.

Canagliflozin mitigates ferroptosis and ameliorates heart failure in rats with preserved ejection fraction - Sai Ma; Li-Li He; Guo-Rui Zhang; Qing-Juan Zuo; Zhong-Li Wang; Jian-Long Zhai; Ting-Ting Zhang; Yan Wang; Hui-Juan Ma; Yi-Fang Guo (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2022)
Recently, hypoglycemic drugs belonging to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have generated significant interest due to their clear cardiovascular benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) since there are no effective drugs that may improve clinical outcomes for these patients over a prolonged period. But, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, particularly its effects on ferroptosis, a newly defined mechanism of iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death during heart failure (HF). Here, with proteomics, we demonstrated that ferroptosis might be a key mechanism in a rat model of high-salt diet-induced HFpEF, characterized by iron overloading and lipid peroxidation, which was blocked following treatment with canagliflozin. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD029031. The ferroptosis was evaluated with the levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4, glutathione peroxidase 4, ferritin heavy chain 1, transferrin receptor, Ferroportin 1, iron, glutathione, malondialdehyde, and 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal. These findings highlight the fact that targeting ferroptosis may serve as a cardioprotective strategy for HFpEF prevention and suggest that canagliflozin may exert its cardiovascular benefits partly via its mitigation of ferroptosis.

More soil organic carbon is sequestered through the mycelium pathway than through the root pathway under nitrogen enrichment in an alpine forest - Xiaomin Zhu; Ziliang Zhang; Qitong Wang; Josep Peñuelas; Jordi Sardans; Hans Lambers; Na Li; Qing Liu; Huajun Yin; Zhanfeng Liu (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Plant roots and associated mycorrhizae exert a large influence on soil carbon (C) cycling. Yet, little was known whether and how roots and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) extraradical mycelia differentially contribute to soil organic C (SOC) accumulation in alpine forests under increasing nitrogen (N) deposition. Using ingrowth cores, the relative contributions of the root pathway (RP; i.e., roots and rhizosphere processes) and mycelium pathway (MP; i.e., extraradical mycelia and hyphosphere processes) to SOC accumulation were distinguished and quantified in an ECM‐dominated forest receiving chronic N addition (25 kg N ha −1 year −1 ). Under the non‐N addition, the RP facilitated SOC accumulation, although the MP reduced SOC accumulation. Nitrogen addition enhanced the positive effect of RP on SOC accumulation from +18.02 to +20.55 mg C g −1 but counteracted the negative effect of MP on SOC accumulation from −5.62 to −0.57 mg C g −1 , compared with the non‐N addition. Compared with the non‐N addition, the N‐induced SOC accumulation was 1.62–2.21 and 3.23–4.74 mg C g −1 , in the RP and the MP, respectively. The greater contribution of MP to SOC accumulation was mainly attributed to the higher microbial C pump (MCP) efficacy (the proportion of increased microbial residual C to the increased SOC under N addition) in the MP (72.5%) relative to the RP (57%). The higher MCP efficacy in the MP was mainly associated with the higher fungal metabolic activity (i.e., the greater fungal biomass and N‐acetyl glucosidase activity) and greater binding efficiency of fungal residual C to mineral surfaces than those of RP. Collectively, our findings highlight the indispensable role of mycelia and hyphosphere processes in the formation and accumulation of stable SOC in the context of increasing N deposition.

Retrieval of Remotely Sensed Sediment Grain Size Evolution Characteristics along the Southwest Coast of Laizhou Bay Based on Support Vector Machine Learning - Xiang Yu; Chao Zhan; Yan Liu; Jialin Bi; Guoqing Li; Buli Cui; Longsheng Wang; Xianbin Liu; Qing Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Grain size is the basic property of intertidal zone sediment. Grain size acts as an indicator of sedimentary processes and geomorphological evolution under human and nature interactions. The remote sensing technique provides an alternative for sediment grain-size parameter monitoring with the advantages of wide coverage and real-time surveying. This paper attempted to map the distributions of three sediment grain size contents and the mean grain size with multitemporal Landsat images along the southwestern coast of Laizhou Bay, China, from 1989 to 2015. Considering the low correlations between the measured reflectance and grain-size parameters, we used a support vector machine (SVM) to develop a nonlinear calibration model by taking several band indices as input variables. Then, the performance of the back propagation neural network (BPNN) was determined and discussed with that of the SVM. The SVM performed better than the BPNN in calibrating the four grain-size parameters based on a comparison of R2 and the root-mean-square error (RMSE). Moreover, an atmospheric correction algorithm originally proposed for case II water enabled the TM\ETM+ images to be precisely atmospherically corrected in this study. The SVM-mapped spatial-temporal grain-size variation showed a coarsening trend, which agreed with that obtained during in situ measurements in a former study. The changes in Yellow River discharge and precipitation associated with the coarsening trend were further analyzed. The yielded results showed that the coarsening trend and reduction in tidal flat area might be aggravated with overutilization. More reasonable planning would be necessary in this case.

Knockdown of Two Iodothyronine Deiodinase Genes Inhibits Epinephrine-Induced Larval Metamorphosis of the Hard-Shelled Mussel Mytilus coruscus - Xue Shi; Yu-Qing Wang; Yue-Ming Yang; Yi-Feng Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The metamorphosis process is a critical life-changing event for marine invertebrate planktonic larvae to transform into benthic adults, which is crucial for the shellfish bed’s ecosystem stability and seed production in aquaculture. The mechanism of neuroendocrine regulation in the larval metamorphosis of bivalves remains ambiguous. In the present study, the expression of two deiodinase genes, McDx and McDy , was analyzed by whole-mount in situ hybridization at four larval stages in the hard-shelled mussel Mytilus coruscus . The McDx and McDy localized in visceral tissues, nervous system, mantle, and velum, indicating that two deiodinase genes are essential for larval development in M. coruscus . Knockdown of the McDx and McDy in the pediveliger larvae of M. coruscus using electroporation of siRNA significantly ( p < 0.001) reduced McDx and McDy expression. McDx and McDy knockdown reduced larval metamorphosis in 45% and 49% of the pediveliger larvae induced by epinephrine (EPI). It is hypothesised that the knockdown effects of McDx and McDy repress metamorphic induction rather than larval viability, which does not elicit a lethal effect. The present study corroborates a synergistic action of the adrenergic and thyroid hormones signalling pathway in M. coruscus , and suggests the role of McDx and McDy in larval development and metamorphic transition.

Historical biogeography of the gingers and its implications for shifts in tropical rain forest habitats - Jian‐Li Zhao; Xiang‐Qin Yu; W. John Kress; Ya‐Li Wang; Yong‐Mei Xia; Qing‐Jun Li (Journal of Biogeography, 2022)
Aim The relationships between biome shifts and global environmental changes in temperate zone habitats have been extensively explored; yet, the historical dynamics of taxa found in the tropical rain forest (TRF) remain poorly known. This study aims to reconstruct the relationships between tropical rain forest shifts and global environmental changes through the patterns of historical biogeography of a pantropical family of monocots, the Zingiberaceae. Location Global. Taxon Zingiberaceae. Methods We sampled DNA sequences (nrITS, trn K, trn L‐ trn F and psb A‐ trn H) from GenBank for 77% of the genera, including 30% of species, in the Zingiberaceae. Global fossil records of the Zingiberaceae were collected from literatures. Rates of speciation, extinction and diversification were estimated based on phylogenetic data and fossil records through methods implemented in BAMM. Ancestral ranges were estimated using single‐tree BioGeoBEARS and multiple‐trees BioGeoBEARS in RASP. Dispersal rate through time and dispersal rate among regions were calculated in R based on the result of ancestral estimation. Results The common ancestor of the Zingiberaceae likely originated in northern Africa during the mid‐Cretaceous, with later dispersal to the Asian tropics. Indo‐Burma, rather than Malesia, was likely a provenance of the common ancestor of Alpinioideae–Zingiberoideae. Several abrupt shifts of evolutionary rates from the Palaeocene were synchronized with sudden global environmental changes. Main conclusions Integrating phylogenetic patterns with fossil records suggests that the Zingiberaceae dispersed to Asia through drift of the Indian Plate from Africa in the late Palaeocene. Formation of island chains, land corridors and warming temperatures facilitated the emigration of the Zingiberaceae to a broad distribution across the tropics. Moreover, dramatic fluctuations of the speciation rate of Zingiberoideae appear to have been synchronized with global climate fluctuations. In general, the evolutionary history of the Zingiberaceae broadens our understanding of the association between TRF shifts in distribution and past global environmental changes, especially the origin of TRF in Southeast Asia.
