Exploration of the link between gut microbiota and purinergic signalling - MingJian Li; BoWen Liu; Rong Li; Ping Yang; Ping Leng; Yong Huang (Purinergic Signalling, 2023)
Growing evidence reveals that microorganisms in the gut are linked to metabolic health and disease risk in human beings to a considerable extent. The focus of research at this stage must tend to focus on cause-and-effect studies. In addition to being a component of DNA and RNA, purine metabolites can be involved in purine signalling in the body as chemical messengers. Abnormalities in purinergic signalling may lead to neuropathy, rheumatic immune diseases, inflammation, tumors, and a wide range of other diseases. It has proved that gut microbes are involved in purinergic signalling. The relationship between these gut-derived purinergic signalling molecules and host metabolism may be one of the important clues to our understanding of the mechanisms by which the microbiota affects host metabolism.

Effects of low-temperature stress on intestinal structure, enzyme activities and metabolomic analysis of juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) - Rong-xin Li; Eric Amenyogbe; Yi Lu; Jing-hui Jin; Rui-tao Xie; Jian-sheng Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Water temperature plays a crucial role in the growth, survival, and reproduction of fish species, as they make up the majority of aquatic fauna. In this study, the effects of low temperature were studied on the functional state of juvenile golden pompano ( Trachinotus ovatus ) under low-temperature stress. The study was conducted at 28°C in the control group and 18°C in the cold group for 14 d to determine the intestinal tissue, digestive and antioxidant enzyme activities, and metabolites of juvenile fish. The results showed that: (1) the swelling degree of the muscle layer deepened and was congested with a longer low-temperature stress period. The folds were sparse, from slight swelling to shedding and deformation. The intestinal mucosa was necrotic and had vacuoles, and the number gradually increased. Serious erosion of the villi occurred. (2) The specific activities of digestive enzymes showed a downward trend. (3) The intestinal superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity showed an upward trend. The intestinal catalase (CAT) activity showed a downward trend. (4) Compared with the control group, there were 28 metabolites in the cold group showing significant differences, among which Z, 11Z, 14Z-eicosatrienoic acid, stearic acid, and adrenic acid showed an upward trend. In contrast, spermidine and uracil showed a downward trend. Among the enriched metabolic pathways, the main differential pathways were unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, linoleic acid metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and β-alanine metabolism. According to metabolomic analysis, under low-temperature stress, the fish body improved the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids to adapt to a low-temperature environment and consumed spermidine to improve its immune ability to clear the peroxide generated by the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids in the body so that the cells were protected from oxidative damage. After 14 days, low-temperature stress affected metabolites and enzyme activity indices in juvenile golden pompano. Low-temperature stress causes changes in intestinal antioxidants and digestive enzymes and damage intestinal tissues. As a result of this exploration of how low temperatures affect the juvenile golden pompano, the foundation is laid for future studies, such as the molecular mechanisms of low-temperature adaptation in fish species.

Accidental acquisition of a rescued Japanese encephalitis virus with unspliced introns in the viral genome when using an intron-based stabilization approach - Ying Huang; Hongshan Xu; Shan Liu; Jiansheng Lu; Lili Jia; Yuhua Li; Rong Wang; Peng Yang; Yongxin Yu; Zhixin Yang (Archives of Virology, 2023)
The intron-based stabilization approach is a very useful strategy for construction of stable flavivirus infectious clones. SA 14 -14-2 is a highly attenuated Japanese encephalitis (JE) live vaccine strain that has been widely used in China since 1989. To develop safe and effective recombinant vaccines with SA 14 -14-2 as a backbone vector, we constructed the DNA-based infectious clone pCMW-JEV of SA 14 -14-2 using the intron-based stabilization approach and acquired the rescued virus rDJEV, which retained the biological properties of the parental virus. Unexpectedly, a rescued virus strain with altered virulence, designated rHV-DJEV, was accidentally acquired in one of the transfection experiments. rHV-DJEV showed up to 10 5 -fold increased neurovirulence compared with the SA 14 -14-2 parental strain. Genome sequencing showed that the inserted introns were still present in the genome of rHV-DJEV. Therefore, we think that the intron-based stabilization approach should be used with caution in vaccine development and direct iDNA immunization.

Impacts of 2 and 4°C global warmings on extreme temperatures in Taiwan - I‐Chun Tsai; Pei‐Rong Hsieh; Chao‐Tzuen Cheng; Yu‐Shiang Tung; Lee‐Yaw Lin; Huang‐Hsiung Hsu (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
Extreme temperatures were considered natural hazards because they could increase morbidity and mortality. Understanding the extreme temperature changes at different warming levels is crucial to climate change mitigation and adoption for human health. This study projected climate change effects on the intensity, occurrence, and duration of extreme temperatures in Taiwan with 2 and 4°C global warming scenarios using the Weather Research and Forecasting model. The future climate simulations were conducted with the pseudo‐global warming approach, and the future climate changes were obtained from the ensemble mean of simulations in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5. The simulated daily mean temperature increased by 1.40 and 3.09°C under 2 and 4°C global warmings. In a warming world, the daily maximum temperature was projected to increase by 1.35–3.00°C, whereas the daily minimum temperature was even higher, leading to weaker diurnal temperature variation in most regions. The simulation results show that intensified heatwaves with frequent and prolonged durations become par for the course, whereas extremely cold days disappear gradually. The occurrence of heatwaves in the future is projected to be five times that in the current climate. Comparing the global warming impacts over different land‐use types, the heatwave occurrence over urban areas rose more quickly than over other land‐use types; forests are less vulnerable to global warming. On the contrary, the changes in extremely cold days over urban areas were weaker than over other land‐use types. Overall, the effects of global warming on temperature revealed that extreme events were more severe with increased temperature than with the mean state of air temperature. Nonlinear behaviours indicated that global warming should be limited to 2°C, and the additional 2°C warming (from 2 to 4°C) should be addressed carefully.

Coordination of economics spectra in leaf, stem and root within the genus Artemisia along a large environmental gradient in China - Rong Liu; Xuejun Yang; Ruiru Gao; Zhenying Huang; Johannes H. C. Cornelissen (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2023)
Aim The plant economics spectrum provides a fundamental framework for understanding functional trait variation along environmental gradients. However, it is unclear whether there is a general whole‐plant economics spectrum across organs at the finer taxonomic scale (e.g. within genera), and if there is, which factors affect the trait coordination of the different organs. Here, we examined whether resource economics spectra of different organs (i.e. leaf, stem and root) can be integrated at the whole‐plant level within a single genus, and how environment, intraspecific variation and taxonomic scale shape the whole‐plant spectrum. Location China. Time period 2018. Major taxa studied Artemisia . Methods We sampled 1,022 individuals of 62 Artemisia species in central and eastern China to test trait coordination patterns from organ to whole‐plant level. From the resource economics spectrum perspective, 15 traits were chosen to represent the trade‐off between structural and nutrient investments, including organs’ C, N, P and dry matter content, specific leaf area, specific stem length and specific root length. Results Pairwise trait correlations and the trade‐off patterns along the resource economic axis were consistent at both organ and whole‐plant levels. Environmental gradients did not strongly affect the correlations among leaf, stem and root economics spectra, that is, the intraspecific variation weakened but did not mask this coordination. Taxonomic scale did not affect the degree of trait coordination as the genus‐wide whole‐plant economics spectrum also emerged within each of the three subgenera. Main conclusions Our results support the hypothesis that the coordination of economics spectra across organs forms a whole‐plant economics spectrum representing a ‘fast–slow’ resource management strategy, which is robust to recent evolution (genotypic variation, even for species within a single genus) and present‐day environmental variation. Further studies should elucidate in which circumstances or phylogenetic branches the coordinated pattern found for Artemisia is representative of other widely distributed genera.

Molecular Characterization and Dietary Regulation of Glutaminase 1 (gls1) in Triploid Crucian Carp (Carassius auratus) - Yangbo Xiao; Rong Huang; Shenping Cao; Dafang Zhao; Zhuangwen Mao; Chuchu Xiao; Zhehua Xu; Xiaomei Zhou; Xinran Zhang; Yu Zhang; Jianzhou Tang; Junyan Jin; et al. (Fishes, 2022)
Kidney-type glutaminase, encoded by the gls1 gene, plays a critical role in glutamate production and improvement of meat flavor. In this study, a gls1 gene encoding 595 amino acids was cloned from triploid crucian carp (Carassius auratus) (TCC) and showed a high similarity with the gls1 gene found in Cyprinus carpio, Sinocyclocheilus rhinocerous and Puntigrus tetrazona. Comparing the abundance of gls1 in different tissues, we found its expression level in the brain and liver were significantly higher than that in heart, gut, kidney, spleen and muscle. gls1 expression in the brain reached the highest value. In addition, the expression levels of gls1 also appeared different in diurnal variation, with the highest expression seen at 9:00, while it was low at 3:00, 6:00, 15:00 and 24:00. Furthermore, dietary regulation of gls1 expression was investigated in our study. In each feeding trial, each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate tanks. Fish were fed one of the tested diets up to satiation twice daily. The results showed that gls1 expression increased in 32% protein group and decreased in 35–41% protein group. The results of different protein source experiments showed that the expression of gls1 gene in the mixed protein group (the control group) was significantly higher than that in the fish meal and soybean meal groups. Glutamate treatment revealed that appropriate concentrations (0.10 mg/mL in vivo and 2.00% in vitro) of glutamate remarkably improved the expression of gls1. Besides, diets supplemented with 0.80–1.60% lysine-glutamate dipeptide exhibited a down regulatory impact on gls1 expression. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the expression of gls1 in TCC was increased by 32% protein diet, mixed protein source diet and diet with 2.00% glutamate concentration, while decreased by 0.80–1.60% lysine-glutamate dipeptide. The findings of this study provide a reference for the regulation of gls1 and have a potential application in the optimization of dietary formula in aquaculture.

Local temperature increases reduce soil microbial residues and carbon stocks - Xiao‐Min Zeng; Jiao Feng; Dai‐Lin Yu; Shu‐Hai Wen; Qianggong Zhang; Qiaoyun Huang; Manuel Delgado‐Baquerizo; Yu‐Rong Liu (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Warming is known to reduce soil carbon (C) stocks by promoting microbial respiration, which is associated with the decomposition of microbial residue carbon (MRC). However, the relative contribution of MRC to soil organic carbon (SOC) across temperature gradients is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the contribution of MRC to SOC along two independent elevation gradients of our model system (i.e., the Tibetan Plateau and Shennongjia Mountain in China). Our results showed that local temperature increases were negatively correlated with MRC and SOC. Further analyses revealed that rising temperature reduced SOC via decreasing MRC, which helps to explain future reductions in SOC under climate warming. Our findings demonstrate that climate warming has the potential to reduce C sequestration by increasing the decomposition of MRC, exacerbating the positive feedback between rising temperature and CO 2 efflux. Our study also considered the influence of multiple environmental factors such as soil pH and moisture, which were more important in controlling SOC than microbial traits such as microbial life‐style strategies and metabolic efficiency. Together, our work suggests an important mechanism underlying long‐term soil C sequestration, which has important implications for the microbial‐mediated C process in the face of global climate change.

Changes in amino acid and fatty acid composition during early development in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) - Jian-sheng Huang; Rong-xin Li; Rui-tao Xie; You-ming Chen; Jian-dong Zhang; Eric Amenyogbe; Gang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
An estimation of the utilization of endogenous nutrients from the yolk sac that occurs during embryonic and early larval development can be a valuable approach to studying the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. In this study, fertilized eggs, embryos (before the membrane, 24 hours after fertilization), newly-hatched larvae (0-d-old), and open-mouthed larvae (3-day-old, unfed rotifers) samples of cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ) were collected to determine the amino acid and fatty acid profiles. Crude protein composition varies significantly for cobia during the different stages of development. The total amino acids, except for lysine(Lys), histidine (His), methionine(Met), serine(Ser), and glycine(Gly), had no significant change in the early development stage ( P > 0.05); the content of other six essential amino acids (EAA) and six non-essential amino acids (NEAA) was consistent with the changing trend of total essential amino acid. From hatching newly hatched larvae to open-mouthed larvae, except for Leu, Phe and Ser, decreased significantly ( P <0.05). From the utilization rate of FAA, the utilization rate of Lys and Leu was the highest (60.26%) and (52.21%) in the embryonic and endogenous nutritional stages, respectively. The water content of the open-mouthed larvae of cobia was significantly higher than that of the fertilized eggs, embryos, and newly hatched larvae ( P < 0.05). Three kinds of saturated fatty acids (SFA), five kinds of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and eight kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were detected in the dry samples of each developmental stage. Based on these results, juvenile cobia can thrive with a wide range of crude protein concentrations. Further refinement of commercial cobia production feeds would have beneficial consequences for economic and environmental concerns due to the positive impacts of optimizing the protein component as well as the ability to maintain the rapid growth rates. The results show that the larval development of cobia needs to consume large amounts of n3PUFA (especially DHA and EPA) to improve the larvae’s survival rate. Research methods will always have limitations when evaluating the relationship between early life nutrition interventions and well-being outcomes later in life. This study provides essential information regarding cobia larvae’s fatty acid requirements.

Drivers of foliar 15 N trends in southern China over the last century - Songbo Tang; Jianfeng Liu; Frank S. Gilliam; Peter Hietz; Zhiheng Wang; Xiankai Lu; Feiyan Zeng; Dazhi Wen; Enqing Hou; Yuan Lai; Yunting Fang; Ying Tu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Foliar stable nitrogen (N) isotopes (δ 15 N) generally reflect N availability to plants and have been used to infer about changes thereof. However, previous studies of temporal trends in foliar δ 15 N have ignored the influence of confounding factors, leading to uncertainties on its indication to N availability. In this study, we measured foliar δ 15 N of 1811 herbarium specimens from 12 plant species collected in southern China forests from 1920 to 2010. We explored how changes in atmospheric CO 2 , N deposition and global warming have affected foliar δ 15 N and N concentrations ([N]) and identified whether N availability decreased in southern China. Across all species, foliar δ 15 N significantly decreased by 0.82‰ over the study period. However, foliar [N] did not decrease significantly, implying N homeostasis in forest trees in the region. The spatiotemporal patterns of foliar δ 15 N were explained by mean annual temperature (MAT), atmospheric CO 2 (), atmospheric N deposition, and foliar [N]. The spatiotemporal trends of foliar [N] were explained by MAT, temperature seasonality, , and N deposition. N deposition within the rates from 5.3 to 12.6 kg N ha −1 year −1 substantially contributed to the temporal decline in foliar δ 15 N. The decline in foliar δ 15 N was not accompanied by changes in foliar [N] and therefore does not necessarily reflect a decline in N availability.

Although plant–plant interactions (i.e. competition and facilitation) have long been recognised as key drivers of plant community composition and dynamics, their global patterns and relationships with climate have remained unclear. Here, we assembled a global database of 10,502 pairs of empirical data from the literature to address the patterns of and climatic effects on the net outcome of plant interactions in natural communities. We found that plant interactions varied among plant performance indicators, interaction types and biomes, yet competition occurred more frequently than facilitation in plant communities worldwide. Unexpectedly, plant interactions showed weak latitudinal pattern and were weakly related to climate. Our study provides a global comprehensive overview of plant interactions, highlighting competition as a fundamental mechanism structuring plant communities worldwide. We suggest that further investigations should focus more on local factors (e.g. microclimate, soil and disturbance) than on macroclimate to identify key environmental determinants of interactions in plant communities.

Assessment of Coilia mystus and C. nasus in the Yangtze River Estuary, China, Using a Length-Based Approach - Lu Zhai; Zengguang Li; Yongbin Hu; Chengwei Huang; Siquan Tian; Rong Wan; Daniel Pauly (Fishes, 2022)
An assessment of the stock status and historical changes in abundance of Coilia mystus and C. nasus in the Yangtze River Estuary, China, was carried out based on field surveys conducted in 2019–2020 and published length-frequency (L/F) data from earlier periods. These two species’ current and past relative biomasses (B/BMSY) were estimated using a length-based Bayesian biomass estimation method (LBB). The LLB method also estimated their asymptotic lengths (Linf), current and optimum mean lengths at first capture (Lc; Lopt_c), and their ratios of natural and fishing mortality to growth (M/K; F/K). In response to increasing fishing pressure, both species’ maximum lengths declined, along with their B/BMSY ratio, which declined for C. mystus from 1.7 in 1982 to 0.47 in 2020 and for C. nasus from 1.7 in 2006 (or earlier) to 0.17 in 2020. These assessments show that both of the two Coilia species are overfished, with C. nasus impacted more severely than C. mystus. The prospect for the recovery of these two species is briefly discussed. This contribution will help toward the management of the population of these two Coilia species and provides a basis for evaluating the effect of the 10-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River.

A systematic understanding of dynamic animal extinction trajectories for different regions in a nation like China is critically important to developing practical conservation strategies. We explored historical and contemporary changes in terrestrial mammalian diversity to determine how diversity in each of the 5 regions in China has changed over time and to examine the conservation potential of these regions. We used records from databases on Pleistocene mammalian fossils and historical distribution records (1175–2020) for Primates (as a case study) to reconstruct evolutionary and historical distribution trajectories of the 11 orders of terrestrial mammals and to predict their prospective survival based on the national conservation strategy applied. The results indicated that since the Pleistocene, 4–5 mammalian orders have been lost in the northeast, 3 in central China, 2 along the coast, and 1 in the northwest. In the southwest, all 11 orders were maintained. Contemporarily, the coast and southwest had the highest and second‐highest species densities. The southwest region and southeastern sections of the northwest region were the most historically and contemporarily diverse areas, which suggests that they should be the first priority for protected area (PA) designation. The central and coastal areas should be secondarily prioritized. In these 2 regions, conservation should focus on human coexistence with nature. Less attention should be paid to the PA in the northeast and western northwest because in these areas ecosystems are depauperate and the climate is harsh. Conservation in these areas should focus principally on avoiding further human encroachment on natural areas. Article impact statement : Historical and contemporary patterns of extinction can be a basis for mammalian conservation strategies.

Several outbreaks of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), which were characterized by yellow coloration and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissues, have occurred in China. The causative agent is called pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1. The mechanisms involved in pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 infection are still unclear. Transcriptome analysis of duck pancreas infected with classical-type DHAV-1 and pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 was carried out. Deep sequencing with Illumina-Solexa resulted in a total of 53.9 Gb of clean data from the cDNA library of the pancreas, and a total of 29,597 unigenes with an average length of 993.43 bp were generated by de novo sequence assembly. The expression levels of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, phosphoserine aminotransferase, and phosphoserine phosphatase, which are involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism pathways, were significantly downregulated in ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 compared with those infected with classical-type DHAV-1. These findings provide information regarding differences in expression levels of metabolism-associated genes between ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 and those infected with classical-type DHAV-1, indicating that intensive metabolism disorders may contribute to the different phenotypes of DHAV-1-infection.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of long non-coding RNAs involved in flag leaf senescence of rice - Xiaoping Huang; Hongyu Zhang; Qiang Wang; Rong Guo; Lingxia Wei; Haiyan Song; Weigang Kuang; Jianglin Liao; Yingjin Huang; Zhaohai Wang (Plant Molecular Biology, 2021)
Key message This study showed the systematic identification of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involving in flag leaf senescence of rice, providing the possible lncRNA-mRNA regulatory relationships and lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA networks during leaf senescence. Abstract LncRNAs have been reported to play crucial roles in diverse biological processes. However, no systematic identification of lncRNAs associated with leaf senescence in plants has been studied. In this study, a genome-wide high throughput sequencing analysis was performed using rice flag leaves developing from normal to senescence. A total of 3953 lncRNAs and 38757 mRNAs were identified, of which 343 lncRNAs and 9412 mRNAs were differentially expressed. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), 22 continuously down-expressed lncRNAs targeting 812 co-expressed mRNAs and 48 continuously up-expressed lncRNAs targeting 1209 co-expressed mRNAs were considered to be significantly associated with flag leaf senescence. Gene Ontology results suggested that the senescence-associated lncRNAs targeted mRNAs involving in many biological processes, including transcription, hormone response, oxidation–reduction process and substance metabolism. Additionally, 43 senescence-associated lncRNAs were predicted to target 111 co-expressed transcription factors. Interestingly, 8 down-expressed lncRNAs and 29 up-expressed lncRNAs were found to separately target 12 and 20 well-studied senescence-associated genes (SAGs). Furthermore, analysis on the competing endogenous RNA (CeRNA) network revealed that 6 down-expressed lncRNAs possibly regulated 51 co-expressed mRNAs through 15 miRNAs, and 14 up-expressed lncRNAs possibly regulated 117 co-expressed mRNAs through 21 miRNAs. Importantly, by expression validation, a conserved miR164-NAC regulatory pathway was found to be possibly involved in leaf senescence, where lncRNA MSTRG.62092.1 may serve as a ceRNA binding with miR164a and miR164e to regulate three transcription factors. And two key lncRNAs MSTRG.31014.21 and MSTRG.31014.36 also could regulate the abscisic-acid biosynthetic gene BGIOSGA025169 ( OsNCED4 ) and BGIOSGA016313 (NAC family) through osa-miR5809. The possible regulation networks of lncRNAs involving in leaf senescence were discussed, and several candidate lncRNAs were recommended for prior transgenic analysis. These findings will extend the understanding on the regulatory roles of lncRNAs in leaf senescence, and lay a foundation for functional research on candidate lncRNAs.

Systematic identification and characterization of circular RNAs involved in flag leaf senescence of rice - Xiaoping Huang; Hongyu Zhang; Rong Guo; Qiang Wang; Xuanzhi Liu; Weigang Kuang; Haiyan Song; Jianglin Liao; Yingjin Huang; Zhaohai Wang (Planta, 2021)
Main conclusion Circular RNAs (circRNAs) identification, expression profiles, and construction of circRNA-parental gene relationships and circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA networks indicate that circRNAs are involved in flag leaf senescence of rice. Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of 3′-5′ head-to-tail covalently closed non-coding RNAs which have been proved to play important roles in various biological processes. However, no systematic identification of circRNAs associated with leaf senescence in rice has been studied. In this study, a genome-wide high-throughput sequencing analysis was performed using rice flag leaves developing from normal to senescence. Here, a total of 6612 circRNAs were identified, among which, 113 circRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) during the leaf senescence process. Moreover, 4601 (69.59%) circRNAs were derived from the exons or introns of their parental genes, while 2110 (71%) of the parental genes produced only one circRNA. The sequence alignment analysis showed that hundreds of rice circRNAs were conserved among different plant species. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that parental genes of DE circRNAs were enriched in many biological processes closely related to leaf senescence. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), six continuously down-expressed circRNAs, 18 continuously up-expressed circRNAs and 15 turn-point high-expressed circRNAs were considered to be highly associated with leaf senescence. Additionally, a total of 17 senescence-associated circRNAs were predicted to have parental genes, in which, regulations of three circRNAs to their parental genes were validated by qRT-PCR. The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were also constructed. And a total of 11 senescence-associated circRNAs were predicted to act as miRNA sponges to regulate mRNAs, in which, regulation of two circRNAs to eight mRNAs was validated by qRT-PCR. It is discussed that senescence-associated circRNAs were involved in flag leaf senescence probably through mediating their parental genes and ceRNA networks, to participate in several well-studied senescence-associated processes, mainly including the processes of transcription, translation, and posttranslational modification (especially protein glycosylation), oxidation–reduction process, involvement of senescence-associated genes, hormone signaling pathway, proteolysis, and DNA damage repair. This study not only showed the systematic identification of circRNAs involved in leaf senescence of rice, but also laid a foundation for functional research on candidate circRNAs.

Purpose The aim of this study was to propose the qualitative and quantitative approaches to evaluate the skeletal muscle ultrasound images of 23 Pompe disease (i.e., acid maltase deficiency, AMD) patients and 14 normal subjects. Methods A cohort of 23 AMD patients and 14 normal subjects has been investigated. We compared the B-mode echo intensity of the rectus femoris muscle with that of its surrounding fat (subcutaneous fat) and proposed a qualitative grading method. Quantitative analysis of the region of interest (ROI) with the echo intensity and the segmented area was also performed. Results Qualitative results showed that AMD patients without clinical symptoms (without undergoing ERT) had the highest distribution of Grade 1, and AMD patients undergoing ERT had the widest distribution of Grade 2, and control group (n = 14) with the highest distribution of Grade 1. Using the segmented area approach, quantitative results showed that AMD patients undergoing ERT had the largest and widest distribution. Meanwhile the control subjects (normal subjects) had the lowest and the narrowest areas. The echo intensity of the segmented ROI of AMD patients undergoing ERT displayed the highest and widest (inhomogeneous) distributions. By contrast, the echo intensity of AMD patients without clinical symptoms was slightly increased and with low inhomogeneity. Conclusion The proposed ultrasonography-based qualitative and quantitative approach may be used to evaluate the severity of muscle destruction for AMD patients. Besides, the quantitative segmented area with regression analysis could help predict the incidence of onset of Pompe disease patients.

Construction of a single nucleotide polymorphism marker based QTL map and validation of resistance loci to bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum species complex in tomato - Il Sheob Shin; Jung-Ching Hsu; Shu-Mei Huang; Jaw-Rong Chen; Jaw-Fen Wang; Peter Hanson; Roland Schafleitner (Euphytica, 2020)
Bacterial wilt (BW), caused by Ralstonia solanacearum species complex is one of the major biotic factors limiting tomato production in the humid tropics. Pyramiding of resistance genes through marker-assisted selection is an efficient way to develop durable BW resistant cultivars. Tomato line ‘Hawaii 7996’ (H7996) is a stable and robust resistance source against various strains of the species complex. Major BW resistance quantitative trait loci (QTLs) Bwr - 12 and Bwr - 6 , and several minor or strain specific QTLs have been coarse-mapped in this line, but none has been fine-mapped and validated. The objective of the current study was to construct a high density genetic map using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers derived from genotyping-by-sequencing, fine-map Bwr - 12 and Bwr - 6 and determine the effects of these QTLs using a near isogenic line (NIL) population. A high density genetic map using 1604 SNP markers with an average distance of 0.82 cM was developed for 188 F 9 recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross H7996 × WVa700. A total of seven QTLs associated with BW resistance to race 1-phylotype I ( R. pseudosolanacearum ) or/and race 3-phylotype II ( R. solanacearum ) strains were located on chromosomes 6 ( Bwr - 6.1 , 6.2 , 6.3 and 6.4 ) and 12 ( Bwr - 12.1 , Bwr - 12.2 and Bwr - 12.3 ) with logarithm of odds (LOD) scores of 6.2–15.6 and 6.2–31.1, explaining 14.2–33.4% and 15.9–53.9% of the total phenotypic variation contributed from H7996, respectively. To validate the genetic effects of the two QTL regions, a set of 80 BC 3 F 3 NILs containing different sections of Bwr -6 with or without Bwr -12 was phenotyped for disease severity after challenge with either race 1-phylotype I Pss4 or race 3-phylotype II Pss1632 BW strains over two seasons. Bwr -6.1 specific to Pss4 and Bwr -6.3 specific to Pss1632 were mapped to an interval of 5.0 cM ( P < 0.05) between 6_33,444,000_SLM6-47 and 6_33,868,000_SLM6-124 SNP marker, and to 2.7 cM ( P < 0.01) between positions 6_35,949,000 _SLM6-107 to 6_36,750,000_SLM6-82 marker, respectively. In addition, the specific effect of Bwr -12 for resistance to Pss4 (LOD score of 5.8-16.1, P < 0.01) was confirmed.

A SUITABLE DESIGN OF OUTLET TYPE FOR PADDIES IN TAIWAN BY EVALUATING THE FLOOD DETENTION EFFECT AND APPLICABILITY - Rong‐Song Chen; Yun‐Ta Cheng; Po‐Wei Huang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2019)
This study intends to enhance a paddy's flood detention effect by adjusting the outlet mechanism to mitigate flooding. Since the paddy's detention effect is an additional function, this study focuses on figuring out a suitable design by comprehensively considering the inundation duration for rice, least peak discharge for flood detention and applicability for various ridge heights. This study establishes a water balance model by utilizing the outlet's discharge coefficients and loss intensity calibrated from the field test. The study adopts the shuffled complex evolution (SCE‐UA) method to optimize the peak discharge. Based on the dimensions of the paddy ridges around the test field and a 24‐h rainfall in a 50‐year return period, both the orifice type and the overflow type perform well, with peak discharge = 0.0105 m 3 s‾¹ and peak time = 960 min. Compared with the weir type, they function well in flood detention, with peak discharge reduction = 65.9% and detention time (time span between the peak time of the weir type and that of the others) = 200 min. Despite having the best performance in flood detention, the orifice type is the least applicable due to the limitation of ridge height. The overflow type has the advantages of both the weir and the orifice types. It is the most suitable design for paddies in Taiwan in terms of applicability and flood detention effect. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Deep sequencing of small RNAs from 11 tissues of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella and discovery of sex‐related microRNAs - Liangming Chen; Rong Huang; Denghui Zhu; Cheng Yang; Libo He; Yongming Li; Lanjie Liao; Zuoyan Zhu; Yaping Wang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019)
This research identified 169 known microRNAs (miRNAs), 380 novel miRNAs, and 30,538 targets in 11 tissues (blood, brain, derma, gill, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, muscle, pronephros, and spleen) from grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella with high‐throughput sequencing (HTS). Transcripts per million (TPM) expression analysis detected 41 brain‐enriched miRNAs (accounting for 61.19% of all tissue‐enriched miRNAs). Real‐time quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) confirmed that 21 of 24 randomly selected tissue‐enriched miRNAs from the TPM analysis were indeed tissue‐enriched ( P dmrt ) involved in sex differentiation. RT‐qPCR revealed that cid‐miR ‐138 was more highly expressed in testis than in ovary ( P dmrt4a ( P cid‐miR ‐138– dmrt4a in neuroendocrine mechanisms related to brain‐pituitary networks during sex development. The discovery of miRNAs from 11 C. idella tissues expands the available fish mi R NA database, and enhances our understanding of the role of sex‐related miRNAs in tissue differentiation and maintenance of specific tissue functions in fishes.

Changes in gene and genotype frequencies during the development of the grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella - LiB. He; Lv Xiong; AiD. Zhang; YongM. Li; Rong Huang; LanJ. Liao; ZuoY. Zhu; YaP. Wang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2018)
In this study, a full‐sib population of Ctenopharyngodon idella was constructed and approximately 500 C. idella individuals were sampled at four early developmental stages (hatching, first feeding, juvenile fish and young fish). Four DNA pools were constructed and subjected to next‐generation sequencing. On the basis of the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), changes in gene and genotype frequencies during the developmental progress of C. idella were revealed, which indicates that death during the early developmental stage is not a random process. These findings will establish the basis for further studies performed for identifying superior alleles or genotypes as target markers for molecular breeding.
