Vibrio rotiferianus is an important marine pathogen of various aquatic organisms and can be found widely distributed in the marine environment. To further characterize this pathogen, the pathogenic properties and genome of V. rotiferianus SSVR1601 isolated from Sebastes schlegelii with skin ulcer were analysed. SSVR1601 was shown to be short rod‐shaped cell with a single polar flagellum. Different degrees of pathological changes in fish kidney, intestine, gills and liver were observed after SSVR1601 challenge. The SSVR1601 genome consists of two chromosomes and two plasmids with a total of 5,717,113 bp, 42.04%–44.93% GC content, 5,269 predicted CDSs, 134 tRNAs and 40 rRNAs. The common virulence factors including OMPs, haemolysin, flagellin, DNase, entF , algU , tcpI , acfB and rfaD were found in strain SSVR1601. Furthermore, factors responsible for iron uptake ( fur , fepC and ccmC ) and types II, IV and VI secretion systems were detected, which are likely responsible for the pathogenicity of SSVR1601. The antimicrobial resistance genes, bacA , tet34 and norM, were detected based on Antibiotic Resistance Genes Database. The phylogenetic analysis revealed SSVR1601 to be most closely related to V. rotiferianus strains CAIM577 and B64D1.

Downscaling climate change of water availability, sediment yield and extreme events: Application to a Mediterranean climate basin - Rong Zhang; João Corte‐Real; Madalena Moreira; Chris Kilsby; Stephen Birkinshaw; Aidan Burton; Hayley J. Fowler; Nathan Forsythe; João Pedro Nunes; Elsa Sampaio; Francisco Lúcio dos Santos; Sandra Mourato (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
A robust hydrological impact assessment is indispensable for mitigation and adaptation planning. This study presents an integrated modelling methodology for evaluating climate change impacts on water availability, sediment yield and extreme events at the catchment scale. We propose the use of the spatial–temporal Neyman–Scott Rectangular Pulses (STNSRP) model—RainSim V3 and the rainfall conditioned daily weather generator—ICAAM‐WG, as well as the physically based spatially distributed hydrological model—SHETRAN. The change factor approach was applied for obtaining unbiased rainfall and temperature statistics. The ICAAM‐WG was developed based on the modified Climate Research Unit daily Weather Generator (CRU‐WG). The methodology is proposed to generate synthetic series of hourly precipitation, daily temperature and potential evapotranspiration, hourly runoff and hourly sediment discharge. We demonstrated a possible application in a 705‐km 2 Mediterranean climate basin in southern Portugal. The case study showed the evaluation of future climate change impacts on annual and monthly water balance components and sediment yield, annual and seasonal flow duration curves, empirical extreme value distributions and the theoretical fits. It did not consider the possible uncertainty due to the limit of computational resources. The methodology can be well justified as follows: (a) the use of synthetic hourly instead of daily precipitation enables SHETRAN to be more capable of reproducing reliable storm runoff processes and the consequent sediment transport processes; (b) the use of SHETRAN makes possible the impact assessment to be accessible for any model grid square within the study basin; (c) the use of a statistical–stochastic downscaling method facilitates the generation of the synthetic series with unlimited length. It makes possible robust hydrological impact assessments if uncertainties related to the global climate model, regional climate model, greenhouse gas emission scenario, downscaling method, hydrological model and observational data are considered.

Temporal and spatial distributions of carbonyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, and carbon disulfide in seawater and marine atmosphere of the Changjiang Estuary and its adjacent East China Sea - Rong Zhu; Gui‐Peng Yang; Hong‐Hai Zhang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2019)
Carbonyl sulfide (COS), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), and carbon disulfide (CS 2 ) concentrations were determined in seawater and the overlying atmosphere of the Changjiang Estuary and the adjacent area during two cruises from 22 February 2016 to 15 March 2016 and from 03 July 2016 to 25 July 2016. The concentration ranges of COS, DMS, and CS 2 in seawater during winter were 121–388 pmol L −1 , 0.321–1.59 nmol L −1 , and 10.3–46.8 pmol L −1 , respectively, and those during summer were 98–346 pmol L −1 , 0.397–9.13 nmol L −1 , and 13.3–65.4 pmol L −1 . The DMS concentration in surface seawater varied seasonally, whereas the COS and CS 2 concentrations varied little. The atmospheric mixing ratios of COS, DMS, and CS 2 were 459–777 pptv, 5.2–96.8 pptv, and 96.9–164 pptv during winter and 417–644 pptv, 133–365 pptv, and 15.8–89.8 pptv during summer, respectively. A correlation analysis revealed that COS concentration was related to the concentrations of DMS and CS 2 . The estimated fluxes of COS, DMS, and CS 2 were in the range of 1.19–2.06 μ g m −2 d −1 , 15.11–164.81 μ g m −2 d −1 , and 0.27‐1.32 μ g m −2 d −1 during winter and 0.61–0.97 μ g m −2 d −1 , 71.76–2511 μ g m −2 d −1 , and 0.38–1.47 μ g m −2 d −1 during summer, respectively. These results indicate that the study area is a sink for COS, but served as a source of atmospheric DMS and CS 2 during the study period.

Underestimated ecosystem carbon turnover time and sequestration under the steady state assumption: A perspective from long‐term data assimilation - Rong Ge; Honglin He; Xiaoli Ren; Li Zhang; Guirui Yu; T. Luke Smallman; Tao Zhou; Shi‐Yong Yu; Yiqi Luo; Zongqiang Xie; Silong Wang; Huimin Wang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
It is critical to accurately estimate carbon (C) turnover time as it dominates the uncertainty in ecosystem C sinks and their response to future climate change. In the absence of direct observations of ecosystem C losses, C turnover times are commonly estimated under the steady state assumption ( SSA ), which has been applied across a large range of temporal and spatial scales including many at which the validity of the assumption is likely to be violated. However, the errors associated with improperly applying SSA to estimate C turnover time and its covariance with climate as well as ecosystem C sequestrations have yet to be fully quantified. Here, we developed a novel model‐data fusion framework and systematically analyzed the SSA ‐induced biases using time‐series data collected from 10 permanent forest plots in the eastern China monsoon region. The results showed that (a) the SSA significantly underestimated mean turnover times ( MTT s) by 29%, thereby leading to a 4.83‐fold underestimation of the net ecosystem productivity ( NEP ) in these forest ecosystems, a major C sink globally; (b) the SSA ‐induced bias in MTT and NEP correlates negatively with forest age, which provides a significant caveat for applying the SSA to young‐aged ecosystems; and (c) the sensitivity of MTT to temperature and precipitation was 22% and 42% lower, respectively, under the SSA . Thus, under the expected climate change, spatiotemporal changes in MTT are likely to be underestimated, thereby resulting in large errors in the variability of predicted global NEP . With the development of observation technology and the accumulation of spatiotemporal data, we suggest estimating MTT s at the disequilibrium state via long‐term data assimilation, thereby effectively reducing the uncertainty in ecosystem C sequestration estimations and providing a better understanding of regional or global C cycle dynamics and C‐climate feedback.

Although autophagic process is generally considered to be conserved, the conservation and evolution of ATG genes at kingdom‐wide remains to be conducted. Here we systematically identified 41 known ATG genes in 331 species and analyzed their distribution across the fungal kingdom. In general, only 20 ATG genes are highly conserved, including most but not all the yeast core‐autophagy‐machinery genes. Four functional protein groups involved in autophagosome formation had conserved and non‐conserved components, suggesting plasticity in autophagosome formation in fungi. All or majority of the key ATG genes were lost in several fungal groups with unique lifestyles and niches, such as Microsporidia, Pneumocystis and Malassezia . Moreover, majority of ATG genes had A‐to‐I RNA editing during sexual reproduction in two ascomycetes and deletion of FgATG11 , the ATG gene with the most editing sites in Fusarium affected ascospore releasing. Duplication and divergence also was observed to several core ATG genes, such as highly divergent ATG8 paralogs in dermatophytes and multiple ATG15 duplications in mushrooms. Taken together, independent losses and duplications of ATG genes have occurred throughout the fungal kingdom and variations in autophagy exist among different lineages and possibly different developmental stages.

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.

Hydrological response of biological soil crusts to global warming: A ten‐year simulative study - Xin‐Rong Li; Rong‐Liang Jia; Zhi‐Shan Zhang; Peng Zhang; Rong Hui (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Biological soil crusts across the desert regions play a key role in regional ecological security and ecological health. They are vital biotic components of desert ecosystems that maintain soil stability, fix carbon and nitrogen, influence the establishment of vascular plants, and serve as habitats for a large number of arthropods and microorganisms, as well as influencing soil hydrological processes. Changes in temperature and precipitation are expected to influence the functioning of desert ecosystems by altering biotic components such as the species composition of biological soil crusts. However, it remains unclear how these important components will respond to the prolonged warming and reduced precipitation that is predicted to occur with climate change. To evaluate how the hydrological properties of these biological soil crusts respond to these alterations, we used open‐top chambers over a 10‐year period to simulate warming and reduced precipitation. Infiltration, dew entrapment, and evaporation were measured as surrogates of the hydrological functioning of biological soil crusts. It was found that the ongoing warming coupled with reduced precipitation will more strongly affect moss in crustal communities than lichens and cyanobacteria, which will lead to a direct alteration of the hydrological performance of biological soil crusts. Reductions in moss abundance, surface cover, and biomass resulted in a change in structure and function of crustal communities, decreased dew entrapment, and increased infiltration and evaporation of biological soil crusts in desert ecosystems, which further impacted on the desert soil water balance.

Diversity of herbaceous plants and bacterial communities regulates soil resistome across forest biomes - Hang‐Wei Hu; Jun‐Tao Wang; Brajesh K. Singh; Yu‐Rong Liu; Yong‐Liang Chen; Yu‐Jing Zhang; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Antibiotic resistance is ancient and prevalent in natural ecosystems and evolved long before the utilization of synthetic antibiotics started, but factors influencing the large‐scale distribution patterns of natural antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) remain largely unknown. Here, a large‐scale investigation over 4000 km was performed to profile soil ARGs, plant communities and bacterial communities from 300 quadrats across five forest biomes with minimal human impact. We detected diverse and abundant ARGs in forests, including over 160 genes conferring resistance to eight major categories of antibiotics. The diversity of ARGs was strongly and positively correlated with the diversity of bacteria, herbaceous plants and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). The ARG composition was strongly correlated with the taxonomic structure of bacteria and herbs. Consistent with this strong correlation, structural equation modelling demonstrated that the positive effects of bacterial and herb communities on ARG patterns were maintained even when simultaneously accounting for multiple drivers (climate, spatial predictors and edaphic factors). These findings suggest a paradigm that the interactions between aboveground and belowground communities shape the large‐scale distribution of soil resistomes, providing new knowledge for tackling the emerging environmental antibiotic resistance.

Srk1 kinase, a SR protein‐specific kinase, is important for sexual reproduction, plant infection and pre‐mRNA processing in Fusarium graminearum - Guanghui Wang; Peng Sun; Ziwen Gong; Lianfeng Gu; Yi Lou; Wenqin Fang; Lianhu Zhang; Li Su; Tao Yang; Baohua Wang; Jie Zhou; Jin‐Rong Xu; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary SR protein‐specific kinases (SRPKs) uniquely with a spacer region are important splicing factors from yeast to human. However, little is known about their biological functions in filamentous fungi. Therefore, we characterized a SRPK called SRK1 in wheat scab fungus Fusarium graminearum . Our data showed that Srk1 is required for vegetative growth, sexual reproduction and plant infection, and plays critical roles in pre‐mRNA alternative splicing and gene expression. Remarkably, we found that Srk1 displayed dynamic shuttling between cytoplasm and the nucleus, which is regulated by the divergent spacer domain rather than its kinase activity, suggesting a regulatory mechanism for Srk1. Interestingly, Srk1‐GFP also localized to the septal pores, indicating a possible role of Srk1 unrelated to mRNA processing. Although both K1 and K2 lobes of the kinase domain are essential for Srk1 functions, the K2 but not K1 lobe is responsible for the septal pore localization. Lastly, we established that Srk1 physically interacts with the two SR proteins, FgNpl3 and FgSrp1. Overall, our results indicated that SRK1 regulates fungal development, plant infection and mRNA processing by phosphorylation of other splicing factors including SR proteins, and the spacer domain regulates the functions of Srk1 by modulating its nucleocytoplasmic shuttling.

Expression of HopAI interferes with MAP kinase signalling in Magnaporthe oryzae - Xue Zhang; Wende Liu; Yang Li; Guotian Li; Jin‐Rong Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary The Pmk1 and Mps1 MAP kinases are essential for appressorium formation and plant infection in Magnaporthe oryzae . However, their exact roles during invasive growth are not clear because pmk1 and mps1 mutants are defective in penetration. To further characterize their functions after penetration, in this study we expressed the Pseudomonas syringae effector HopAI known to inactivate plant MAP kinases in M. oryzae . Constitutive expression of HopAI with the RP27 or TrpC promoter resulted in defects in hyphal growth, conidiation, appressorium penetration and pathogenicity, which is similar to the phenotype of the mps1 mutant. HopAI interacted strongly with Mps1 in vivo and expression of dominant active MKK2 partially suppressed the defects of P RP27 ‐HopAI transformants, which were significantly reduced in Mps1 phosphorylation. When the infection‐specific MIR1 ( Magnaporthe ‐infection‐related gene‐1) promoter was used to express HopAI, P MIR1 ‐HopAI transformants were defective in the spreading of invasive hyphae and elicited strong defense responses in penetrated plant cells. Expression of HopAI in Fusarium graminearum also mainly affected the activation of Mgv1, an Mps1 orthologue. Taken together, our results showed that Mps1 is the major intracellular target of HopAI when it is overexpressed, and MAP kinase signalling is important for cell‐to‐cell movement of invasive hyphae in M. oryzae .

The FgSRP1 SR‐protein gene is important for plant infection and pre‐mRNA processing in Fusarium graminearum - Yimei Zhang; Xuli Gao; Manli Sun; Huiquan Liu; Jin‐Rong Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary The versatile functions of SR (serine/arginine‐rich) proteins in pre‐mRNA splicing and processing are modulated by reversible phosphorylation. Previous studies showed that FgPrp4, the only protein kinase among spliceosome components, is important for intron splicing and the FgSrp1 SR protein is phosphorylated at five conserved sites in Fusarium graminearum . In this study, we showed that the Fgsrp1 deletion mutant rarely produced conidia and caused only limited symptoms on wheat heads and corn silks. Deletion of FgSRP1 also reduced ascospore ejection and deoxynivalenol (DON) production. Interestingly, FgSRP1 had two transcript isoforms due to alternative splicing and both of them were required for its normal functions in growth and DON biosynthesis. FgSrp1 localized to the nucleus and interacted with FgPrp4 in vivo . Deletion of all four conserved phosphorylation sites but not individual ones affected the FgSRP1 function, suggesting their overlapping functions. RNA‐seq analysis showed that the expression of over thousands of genes and splicing efficiency in over 140 introns were affected. Taken together, FgSRP1 is important for conidiation, and pathogenesis and alternative splicing is important for its normal functions. The FgSrp1 SR protein is likely important for pre‐mRNA processing or splicing of various genes in different developmental and infection processes.
