Transcriptome‐based analyses of adaptive divergence between two closely related spruce species on the Qinghai–Tibet plateau and adjacent regions - Shuo Feng; Wei Wan; Yang Li; DongLei Wang; Guangpeng Ren; Tao Ma; Dafu Ru (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Speciation among populations connected by gene flow is driven by adaptation to different environments, but underlying gene–environment associations remain largely unknown. Here, 162 individuals from 32 populations were sampled to obtain 191,648 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the genomes of two closely related spruce species, Picea asperata and Picea crassifolia , which occur on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and in surrounding regions. Using the SNP data set, genotype–environment associations and demographic modelling were used to examine local adaptation and genetic divergence between these two species. While morphologically similar, the two Picea species were genetically differentiated in multiple analyses. These species diverged despite continuous gene flow, and their initial divergence was dated back to the late Quaternary. The effective population sizes of both species have expanded since their divergence, as confirmed by niche distribution simulations. A total of 6365 genes were associated with the tested environmental variables; of these, 41 were positively selected in P. asperata and were mainly associated with temperature, while 83 were positively selected in P. crassifolia and were primarily associated with precipitation. These results deepen our understanding of the adaptive divergence and demographic histories of these two spruce species and highlight the importance of genomic data in deciphering the environmental selection underlying Quaternary interspecific divergence.

Differences in drought evolution as portrayed for China using various evapotranspiration models and drought indices - Huaijun Wang; Lei Cao; Xinchuan Li; Ru Feng; Peng Zheng (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Drought, a slow‐growing natural disaster that affects large areas worldwide, has serious social and economic consequences. There is compelling evidence to suggest that drought will be more prevalent in various regions in the future, due to the impact of climate change. Evapotranspiration is an important drought evolution control factor, and various evapotranspiration models show different drought evolution trends. In the study described here, meteorological data from 840 Chinese weather stations, for 1960–2018, were used to estimate potential evapotranspiration (PET), using the Thomthwaite (TH), Hargreaves (HG), Priestley–Taylor (PT), Penman and Penman–Monteith (PM) models. We then compared various drought indices (the standardized precipitation index [SPI], the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index [SPEI], and the Palmer drought severity index [PDSI]), calculated using inputs from the five evapotranspiration models. The results showed that (a) evapotranspiration means and trends, as estimated by the five PET models, were significantly different, with Penman giving the highest estimate while TH the lowest. Differences between the PET model outcomes reduced under climate warming scenarios; (b) significantly different evapotranspiration models and drought indices can give rise to varied results, with the climate becoming wetter under the Penman and PM models (especially in western northwest China and eastern south China), and drier under the TH model; (c) the different drought forecasts obtained using the evapotranspiration models decreased with increasing precipitation, for all regions; (d) the SPEI is more suitable for drought monitoring compared with PDSI due to the higher sensitive to the choice of evapotranspiration model of SPEI; and (e) SPEI‐PM and SPEI‐Penman is the best drought indices in all regions. SPEI‐PT and SPEI‐HG can be applied in regions with relatively abundant precipitation (northern north China, southern north China, eastern south China, western south China, and Tibetan Plateau), and SPEI‐PM and SPEI‐Penman can be suitable for drought monitoring in arid and semi‐arid regions (western northwest China and eastern northwest China). The results presented herein are expected to aid in the selection of a proper drought index for disaster assessment.

Nitrogen enrichment alters multiple dimensions of grassland functional stability via changing compositional stability - Qianna Xu; Xian Yang; Jian Song; Jingyi Ru; Jianyang Xia; Shaopeng Wang; Shiqiang Wan; Lin Jiang (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment is known to alter the composition and functioning of plant communities. However, how nutrient enrichment influences multiple dimensions of community‐ and ecosystem‐level stability remains poorly understood. Using data from a nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) addition experiment in a temperate semi‐arid grassland that experienced a natural drought, we show that N enrichment, not P enrichment, decreased grassland functional and compositional temporal stability, resistance and recovery but increased functional and compositional resilience. Compositional stability and species asynchrony, rather than species diversity, were identified as key determinants of all dimensions of grassland functional stability, except for recovery. Whereas grassland functional recovery was decoupled from compositional recovery, N enrichment altered other dimensions of functional stability primarily through changing their corresponding compositional stability dimensions. Our findings highlight the need to examine ecological stability at the community level for a more mechanistic understanding of ecosystem dynamics in the face of environmental change.

Seasonal variations in microbial diversity and metabolite profiles of the gut of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) - Beini Deng; Xiaoshang Ru; Ting Wang; Chenxi Zhang; Wanhui Sun; Songchong Lu; Libin Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The sea cucumber ( Apostichopus japonicus ) is the main economic species in China and has a significant role in aquaculture. Gut microbiome composition is closely related to external environments. In this study, we identified the effects of seasonal changes on the composition and main metabolites of symbiotic microorganisms in the intestine of A. japonicus . We used 16S rRNA sequencing to identify the composition of symbiotic microorganisms in different seasons. Intestinal metabolites were determined using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, which linked symbiotic microorganisms to intestinal metabolites. Analyzing changes in intestinal microbial composition across different seasons. The results showed that seasonal changes of intestinal microorganisms were significant, A. japonicus were infected by Vibrio easily in summer, Stigmasterol and sitosterol could affect the growth of body wall of A. japonicus . It is vital importance for A. japonicus that the results benefit for the growth, immunity and aquaculture.

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.

Background Fibrinogen-like-protein 1 (FGL1), a member of the fibrinogen-related protein (FREP) family, is a major ligand of the immune inhibitory receptor lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3). While FGL1 is strongly implicated in the development and prognosis of a variety of diseases, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still disputed. Therefore, the role of FGL1 expression in the progression and prognosis of HCC was investigated. Methods and results In the present study, bioinformatics analysis was first used to probe the expression profile of FGL1 in multiple malignant tumor tissues and paired normal tissues, and to explore the possible relationship between FGL1 and prognosis of HCC patients. Thereafter, the expression levels of FGL1 were determined and compared in human HCC cell lines, HCC tissues, peri-tumor tissues and normal liver tissues by western blot analysis. Furthermore, tissue microarrays were used to detect the expression of FGL1 through immunohistochemical staining and to verify whether the FGL1 expression level was associated with clinicopathological features and the prognosis of HCC patients. The results showed that FGL1 was downregulated significantly in most of the HCC cells lines and HCC tissues, corresponding to the results of the bioinformatics and western blot analyses. FGL1 expression level in HCC was found to be correlated to Edmondson grade and metastasis of the HCC. Additionally, high FGL1 expression was associated with better overall survival in HCC patients, suggesting that FGL1 could function as a tumor suppressor. Conclusions The expression level of FGL1 can be correlated with the progression and prognosis of HCC, suggesting its potential as a prognostic biomarker.

ACOT7 protects epidermal stem cells against lipid peroxidation - Guang Zhang; Jiaxu Ma; Zhenjie Wu; Guoqi Cao; Chunyan Liu; Ru Song; Rui Sun; Aoyu Chen; Yibing Wang; Siyuan Yin (In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2022)
Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) are critical for skin regeneration and repair. Previous studies have shown that ESCs are susceptible to oxidative stress, which in turn leads to lipid peroxidation and affects skin repair. Our study aims to explore how ESCs resist lipid peroxidation. By performing proteomics analysis, we found that the expression of Acyl-CoA thioesterase 7 (ACOT7) was positively correlated with the concentration of transferrin. Overexpression adenovirus vectors of ACOT7 were constructed and transfected into ESCs. Levels of lipid peroxidation by flow cytometry, cell viabilities, and MDA levels were measured. The results revealed that ACOT7 could inhibit lipid peroxidation, reduce the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), and improve the survival rate of ESCs induced by H 2 O 2 , Erastin, and RSL3. Our data suggest that ACOT7 has an effect on protecting ESCs against iron-dependent lipid peroxidation.

Spatiotemporal variations of seasonal temperature at different percentiles in the three provinces of northeast China from 1961 to 2019 - Yaxue Yang; Huixiao Wang; Changming Liu; Ru Feng; Yu Wang; Hongfang Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
The three provinces of northeast China (NEPs) were one of the major grain producing areas in China and has undergone significant climate warming during past decades. However, nowadays researches on climate warming mostly focused on variations of mean temperature or temperature extremes, which missed much information in the other parts of temperature. Therefore, taken NEPs as study area, variations of maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin) and diurnal temperature range (DTR) at every 10% percentile from 1961 to 2019 in NEPs were analysed at seasonal scale. The abrupt changes and decadal shifts of Tmax, Tmin and DTR at different percentiles were further highlighted. Results show that (a) for either regional average or station cases, fluctuations of daily Tmax and daily Tmin both decreased in spring and winter, but increased in autumn. In summer, fluctuations of daily Tmin decreased while those of daily Tmax increased. (b) Spatially, Tmax heated up more in south of NEPs at lower percentiles, and in northwest of NEPs at higher percentiles in spring, summer and winter. Tmin and DTR overall showed consistent spatial differences that changes in north and northwest of NEPs were with greater magnitudes. (c) In spring and winter, the higher Tmax/Tmin had earlier abrupt changes than lower Tmax/Tmin, while in summer and autumn, the abrupt changes occurred earlier for lower Tmax/Tmin. (d) In winter, overwhelming positive shifts were significant before 2000, but turned negative after 2000. In summer, Tmax heated up quickly since 1990s and Tmin since 1980s. Shifts in spring and autumn varied during different periods and generally presented alternative warming at higher and lower percentiles. The research can help better depict the warming patterns and figure out the detailed warming procedures in NEPs, which is a strong supplement for current climate change research.

A New Scheme for Capturing Global Conditional Nonlinear Optimal Perturbation - Siyuan Liu; Qi Shao; Wei Li; Guijun Han; Kangzhuang Liang; Yantian Gong; Ru Wang; Hanyu Liu; Song Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP) represents the initial perturbation that satisfies a certain physical constraint condition, and leads to a maximum prediction error at the moment of prediction. The CNOP method is a useful tool in studying atmosphere and ocean predictability problems. Generally, the optimization algorithm based on the gradient of the cost function to compute CNOP requires an initial guess. The traditional scheme randomly chooses the initial guess of CNOP within the constraint range and therefore this scheme is called RIG-CNOP. However, the RIG-CNOP scheme reduces the probability of capturing the global CNOP in many cases, such as the prediction model is strongly nonlinear or long-term prediction is performed, or multiple extreme values existed in the cost function. Considering the limitations of the RIG-CNOP scheme, we propose a new initial guess selection scheme. In this scheme, we first pre-analyze a series of random initial guesses, and then, an optimal initial guess is selected. The above process replaces the initial guess selection scheme in the traditional scheme, which is called PAIG-CNOP. Numerical experiments are conducted utilizing the Lorenz-63 model. Also, to compare the performance of the PAIG-CNOP method with the RIG-CNOP method in capturing global CNOP, the CNOP and the maximum cost function value (MCFV) obtained by the filtering method (FM) are used as benchmarks (this value is called FMMCFV in brief). The experimental results show that even the prediction model is strongly nonlinear or the prediction time is long, or the cost function has multiple extreme values, the PAIG-CNOP method can capture the global CNOP with a high probability. The results show that the PAIG-CNOP method has a higher probability of capturing the global CNOP than the RIG-CNOP method. In addition, we use an ensemble-based technique in the computation of gradients, thus avoiding the use of adjoint techniques in the maximization process. Due to the attractive features of the new method, the PAIG-CNOP method is an efficient and useful method for solving CNOP, it can be more easily applied to obtain the global CNOP of operational prediction models.

Infectivity and antigenicity of pseudoviruses with high-frequency mutations of SARS-CoV-2 identified in Portugal - Hai-xin Wang; Li Zhang; Zi-teng Liang; Jian-hui Nie; Jia-jing Wu; Qian-qian Li; Ru-xia Ding; Yue Zhang; Guo-qing Chen; You-chun Wang; Hui-guo Wang; Wei-jin Huang (Archives of Virology, 2022)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a major impact on global human health. During the spread of SARS-CoV-2, weakened host immunity and the use of vaccines with low efficacy may result in the development of more-virulent strains or strains with resistance to existing vaccines and antibodies. The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 mutant strains differs between regions, and this variation may have an impact on the effectiveness of vaccines. In this study, an epidemiological investigation of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal was performed, and the VSV-ΔG-G* pseudovirus system was used to construct 12 spike protein epidemic mutants, D614G, A222V+D614G, B.1.1.7, S477N+D614G, P1162R+D614G+A222V, D839Y+D614G, L176F+D614G, B.1.1.7+L216F, B.1.1.7+M740V, B.1.258, B.1.258+L1063F, and B.1.258+N751Y. The mutant pseudoviruses were used to infect four susceptible cell lines (Huh7, hACE2-293T-293T, Vero, and LLC-MK2) and 14 cell lines overexpressing ACE2 from different species. Mutant strains did not show increased infectivity or cross-species transmission. Neutralization activity against these pseudoviruses was evaluated using mouse serum and 11 monoclonal antibodies. The neutralizing activity of immunized mouse serum was not significantly reduced with the mutant strains, but the mutant strains from Portugal could evade nine of the 11 monoclonal antibodies tested. Neutralization resistance was mainly caused by the mutations S477N, N439K, and N501Y in the spike-receptor binding domain.

New types of ATP ‐grasp ligase are associated with the novel pathway for complicated mycosporine‐like amino acid production in desiccation‐tolerant cyanobacteria - Zhong‐Chun Zhang; Kai Wang; Fu‐Hua Hao; Jin‐Long Shang; Hui‐Ru Tang; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs) were widespread in diverse organisms to attenuate UV radiation. We recently characterized the large, complicated MAA mycosporine‐2‐(4‐deoxygadusolyl‐ornithine) in desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme . Synthesis of this MAA requires the five‐gene cluster mysABDC2C3 . Here, bioinformatic analysis indicated that mysC duplication within five‐gene mys clusters is strictly limited to drought‐tolerant cyanobacteria. Phylogenic analysis distinguished these duplicated MysCs into two clades that separated from canonical MysCs. Heterologous expression of N. flagelliforme mys genes in Escherichia coli showed that MysAB produces 4‐deoxygadusol. The ATP‐grasp ligase of MysC3 catalyses the linkage of the δ‐ or ε‐amino group of ornithine/lysine to 4‐deoxygadusol, yielding mycosporine‐ornithine or mycosporine‐lysine respectively. The ATP‐grasp ligase of MysC2 strictly condenses the α‐amino group of mycosporine‐ornithine to another 4‐deoxygadusol. MysD (D‐Ala–D‐Ala ligase) functions following MysC2 to catalyse the formation of mycosporine‐2‐(4‐deoxygadusolyl‐ornithine). High arginine content likely provides a greater pool of ornithine over other amino acids during rehydration of desiccated N. flagelliforme . Duplication of ATP‐grasp ligases is specific for the use of substrates that have two amino groups (such as ornithine) for the production of complicated MAAs with multiple chromophores. This five‐enzyme biosynthesis pathway for complicated MAAs is a novel adaptation of cyanobacteria for UV tolerance in drought environments.

Time-Scale Decomposition Techniques Used in the Ship Path-Following Problem with Rudder Roll Stabilization Control - Ru-Yi Ren; Zao-Jian Zou; Jian-Qin Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
The motion control of a surface ship based on a four degrees of freedom (4-DoF) (surge, sway, roll, and yaw) maneuvering motion model is studied in this paper. A time-scale decomposition method is introduced to solve the path-following problem, implementing Rudder Roll Stabilization (RRS) at the same time. The control objectives are to let the ship to track a predefined curve path under environmental disturbances, and to reduce the roll motion at the same time. A singular perturbation method is used to decouple the whole system into two subsystems of different time scales: the slow path-following subsystem and the fast roll reduction subsystem. The coupling effect of the two subsystems is also considered in this framework of analysis. RRS control is only possible when there is the so-called bandwidth separation characteristic in the ship motion system, which requires a large bandwidth separation gap between the two subsystems. To avoid the slow subsystem being affected by the wave disturbances of high frequency and large system uncertainties, the L1 adaptive control is introduced in the slow subsystem, while a Proportion-Differentiation (PD) control law is adopted in the fast roll reduction subsystem. Simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy.

Energy Sources Generation and Energy Cascades along the Kuroshio East of Taiwan Island and the East China Sea - Ru Wang; Yijun Hou; Ze Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
There are multi-spatial-scale ocean dynamic processes in the western boundary current region, so the budget of energy source and sink in the Kuroshio Current area can describe the oceanic energy cycle and transformation more accurately. The slope of the one-dimensional spectral energy density varies between −5/3 and −3 in the wavenumber range of 0.02–0.1 cpkm, indicating an inverse energy cascade in the Kuroshio of Taiwan Island and the East China Sea. According to the steady-state energy evolution, an energy source must be present. The locations of energy sources were identified using the spectral energy transfer calculated by 24 years of Ocean General Circulation Model for the Earth Simulator (OFES) data. At the sea surface, the kinetic energy (KE) sources are mainly within 23.2°–25.6° Nand 28°–29° N at less than 0.02 cpkm and within 23.2°–25° N and 26°–30° N at 0.02–0.1 cpkm. The available potential energy (APE) sources are mainly within 22°–28° N and 28.6°–30° N at less than 0.02 cpkm and within 22.6°–24.6° N, 25.4°–28° N and 29.2°–30° N at 0.02–0.1 cpkm. Beneath the sea surface, the energy sources are mainly above 400 m depth. Wind stress and density differences are primarily responsible for the KE and APE sources, respectively. Once an energy source is formed, to maintain a steady state, energy cascades (mainly inverse cascades by calculating spectral energy flux) will be engendered. By calculating the energy flux at 600 m depth, KE changes from inflow (sink) to outflow (source), and the conversion depth of source and sink is 380 m. However, outflow of the APE behaves as the source.

An Infrared Touch System for Automatic Behavior Monitoring - Qingqing Liu; Xing Yang; Ru Song; Junying Su; Moxuan Luo; Jinling Zhong; Liping Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Key requirements of successful animal behavior research in the laboratory are robustness, objectivity, and high throughput, which apply to both the recording and analysis of behavior. Many automatic methods of monitoring animal behavior meet these requirements. However, they usually depend on high-performing hardware and sophisticated software, which may be expensive. Here, we describe an automatic infrared behavior-monitor (AIBM) system based on an infrared touchscreen frame. Using this, animal positions can be recorded and used for further behavioral analysis by any PC supporting touch events. This system detects animal behavior in real time and gives closed-loop feedback using relatively low computing resources and simple algorithms. The AIBM system automatically records and analyzes multiple types of animal behavior in a highly efficient, unbiased, and low-cost manner.

Purinergic smooth muscle contractions in the human prostate: estimation of relevance and characterization of different agonists - Annabel Spek; Bingsheng Li; Beata Rutz; Anna Ciotkowska; Ru Huang; Yuhan Liu; Ruixiao Wang; Frank Strittmatter; Raphaela Waidelich; Christian G. Stief; Martin Hennenberg (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2021)
Non-adrenergic prostate smooth muscle contractions may account for the limited effectiveness of α 1 -adrenoceptor antagonists, which are the first-line option for medical treatment of voiding symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In non-human prostates, purinergic agonists induce contractions reaching similar magnitudes as α 1 -adrenergic contractions. However, evidence for the human prostate is highly limited, and pointed to much weaker purinergic contractions. Here, we examined contractions of different purinergic agonists in human prostate tissues. Tissues were obtained from radical prostatectomy. Contractions were studied in an organ bath, and expression of purinergic receptors was studied by RT-PCR. Electric field stimulation (EFS)–induced contractions amounted to 104% of KCl-induced contractions (95% CI: 84–124%). From all tested agonists, only ATP induced concentration-dependent contractions, reaching an average maximum of 18% (12–24%) of KCl. Maximum tensions following application of other agonists averaged to 7.1% of KCl for α,β-methylene-ATP (1.8–12.4%), 3.9% for β,γ-methylene-ATP (2.0–5.4%), 3.1% for 2-methylthio-ATP (− 0.1–6.3%), and 5.1% for ATPγS (1.0–9.2%). Responses were not affected by the P2X antagonist NF023 or the P2Y antagonist PPADS. mRNA expression of P2X1-4 correlated with expression of a marker for catecholaminergic nerves, although neither ATP, NF023, nor PPADS changed EFS-induced contractions. Correlation between expression of receptors and the smooth muscle marker calponin was not observed. Our findings point to a low relevance of purinergic contractions in the human prostate, compared to other contractile stimuli in the human prostate and compared to purinergic contractions in non-human prostates. Purinergic contractions in the human prostate are not sensitive to NF023 or PPADS.

Experimental evidence for long‐term coexistence of copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria in pelagic surface seawater - Yi Li; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Xi‐Ying Zhang; Yan‐Ru Dang; Lin‐Lin Sun; Wei‐Peng Zhang; Hui‐Hui Fu; Gui‐Peng Yang; Min Wang; Andrew McMinn; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yin Chen; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Most marine copiotrophic bacteria can produce extracellular enzymes to degrade biopolymers into bio‐available smaller solutes, while oligotrophic bacteria usually cannot. Bacterial extracellular enzymes and enzymatic products can be a common resource that could be utilized by both copiotrophs and oligotrophs; when present, oligotrophs may outcompete the enzyme‐producing copiotrophs. However, copiotrophs and oligotrophs consistently coexist in the ocean. How they maintain coexistence has still not been experimentally studied. In this study, the interaction and coexistence of a copiotroph and an oligotroph, isolated from the same surface seawater sample and utilizing the same proteinaceous substrate, were experimentally investigated. The copiotroph could secrete extracellular proteases to degrade and then utilize the proteinaceous substrate. The oligotroph was unable to utilize the proteinaceous substrate by itself, but could grow by using the hydrolysate amino acids. The copiotroph outcompeted the oligotroph by adsorbing the amino acids quickly and having a higher growth rate in the rich medium. The oligotroph survived by adapting to low concentration of nutrients. The copiotroph and oligotroph were able to maintain long‐term (up to 142 days) coexistence in the laboratory. This study indicates that differences in the utilization of different concentrations of nutrients can drive the coexistence of marine copiotrophs and oligotrophs.

Climatology and change of extreme precipitation events in Taiwan based on weather types - Yi‐chao Wu; S.‐Y. Simon Wang; Yi‐Chiang Yu; Chu‐Ying Kung; An‐Hsiang Wang; Sebastian A. Los; Wan‐Ru Huang (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Taiwan's most significant natural hazards are caused by hydrological extremes resulting from excessive precipitation. The threat of extreme precipitation is posed by several different types of weather patterns that affect Taiwan. This study examined the bi‐decadal changes in rainfall by defining an extreme precipitation occurrence (EPO) for a range of event durations from 1 to 24 hr. Three major weather types affecting EPO in Taiwan were identified from 1993 to 2015: the front type consisting of either a frontal zone or convective systems developing with an apparent Meiyu cloudband, diurnal rainfall events when no apparent synoptic features are present, and a tropical cyclone (TC) type according to the maximum sustained wind radius of a TC. Results show that TC‐type events have the greatest overall contribution to EPO at longer (>6 hr) durations. Diurnal/afternoon convection events contribute most to the shorter ( 6 hr) EPO associated with the TC‐type events in summer. The distinction between EPO trends for the entire island of Taiwan and for the Taipei metropolitan area alone (northern Taiwan, population of 7 million) were compared, and an intriguing interannual variation is reported in the TC‐type EPO associated with the TC season 1 year to a year and half just before an El Niño–Southern Oscillation event. The analysis here provides refined statistical distributions of extreme rainfall, and these can contribute to the revision of governmental definitions for weather disasters that are used in mitigation and response strategies.

Population genomic analysis reveals that homoploid hybrid speciation can be a lengthy process - Dafu Ru; Yongshuai Sun; Donglei Wang; Yang Chen; Tianjing Wang; Quanjun Hu; Richard J. Abbott; Jianquan Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2018)
An increasing number of species are thought to have originated by homoploid hybrid speciation ( HHS ), but in only a handful of cases are details of the process known. A previous study indicated that Picea purpurea , a conifer in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau ( QTP ), originated through HHS from P. likiangensis and P. wilsonii . To investigate this origin in more detail, we analysed transcriptome data for 114 individuals collected from 34 populations of the three Picea species from their core distributions in the QTP . Phylogenetic, principal component and admixture analyses of nuclear SNP s showed the species to be delimited genetically and that P. purpurea was admixed with approximately 60% of its ancestry derived from P. wilsonii and 40% from P. likiangensis . Coalescent simulations revealed the best‐fitting model of origin involved formation of an intermediate hybrid lineage between P. likiangensis and P. wilsonii approximately 6 million years ago (mya), which backcrossed to P. wilsonii to form P. purpurea approximately one mya. The intermediate hybrid lineage no longer exists and is referred to as a “ghost” lineage. Our study emphasizes the power of population genomic analysis combined with coalescent analysis for reconstructing the stages involved in the origin of a homoploid hybrid species over an extended period. In contrast to other studies, we show that these stages can in some instances span a relatively long period of evolutionary time.

EGCG : Potential application as a protective agent against grass carp reovirus in aquaculture - H Wang; Yq Chen; Gm Ru; Yq Xu; Lq Lu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2018)
Grass carp reovirus ( GCRV ) is the primary cause of grass carp haemorrhagic disease. The major catechin in green tea, (–)‐epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate ( EGCG ), has been found to have anti‐ GCRV activity in the C. idellus kidney cell line ( CIK ). The aim of this study was to test the potential application of EGCG as an anti‐ GCRV agent in aquaculture. Here, we demonstrate that various concentrations (99%, 50% and 35%) of EGCG could inhibit GCRV infectivity. EGCG (50%) + GCRV treatment significantly reduced the number of dead fish at 1‐, 2‐, 3‐, 4 ‐and 5‐day post‐challenge compared with the negative control ( GCRV challenge without EGCG treatment). The safety of EGCG compound products on cell survival was studied using four fish cell lines; we did not detect a significant change in cell viability within 24 hours of EGCG incubation. We also evaluated toxicity and concentrations of malondialdehyde ( MDA ), glutathione ( GSH ) and lysozyme ( LZM ) in the grass carp, and the results showed that even a high dose of EGCG did not induce toxicity. Following EGCG compound injection, the concentration of MDA decreased and the concentration of GSH and LZM increased compared with the control groups. We also detected EGCG concentration in grass carp plasma and kidney using HPLC with electrochemical detection after intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 150 mg/kg. The concentration of EGCG in the plasma and kidney reached the highest levels (20 μg/ ml and 1.5 μg/ ml ) about 12 hr after injection and then decreased. Overall, EGCG is a safe, effective product that could inhibit GCRV infection and improve immunoactivity in aquaculture.

Demographic expansion and genetic load of the halophyte model plant Eutrema salsugineum - Xiao‐Juan Wang; Quan‐Jun Hu; Xin‐Yi Guo; Kun Wang; Da‐Fu Ru; Dmitry A. German; Elizabeth A. Weretilnyk; Richard J. Abbott; Martin Lascoux; Jian‐quan Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2018)
The halophyte model plant Eutrema salsugineum (Brassicaceae) disjunctly occurs in temperate to subarctic Asia and North America. This vast, yet extremely discontinuous distribution constitutes an ideal system to examine long‐distance dispersal and the ensuing accumulation of deleterious mutations as expected in expanding populations of selfing plants. In this study, we resequenced individuals from 23 populations across the range of E . salsugineum . Our population genomic data indicate that E . salsugineum migrated “out of the Altai region” at least three times to colonize northern China, northeast Russia and western China. It then expanded its distribution into North America independently from northeast Russia and northern China, respectively. The species colonized northern China around 33.7 thousand years ago (kya) and underwent a considerable expansion in range size approximately 7–8 kya. The western China lineage is likely a hybrid derivative of the northern China and Altai lineages, originating approximately 25–30 kya. Deleterious alleles accumulated in a stepwise manner from (a) Altai to northern China and North America and (b) Altai to northeast Russia and North America. In summary, E . salsugineum dispersed from Asia to North America and deleterious mutations accumulated in a stepwise manner during the expansion of the species’ distribution.

UV‐B induced biosynthesis of a novel sunscreen compound in solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacteria - Jin‐Long Shang; Zhong‐Chun Zhang; Xiao‐Yue Yin; Min Chen; Fu‐Hua Hao; Kai Wang; Jun‐Li Feng; Hai‐Feng Xu; Yan‐Chao Yin; Hui‐Ru Tang; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The small‐molecule sunscreen compounds, mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs), have strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption and can protect cyanobacteria against UV‐B damage. However, the molecular mechanism underlying UV‐B signaling and MAA chemical diversity remain largely unclear. Here, we identified a five‐gene cluster for MAA biosynthesis in the solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme . A LuxR family protein OrrA was identified as a positive UV‐B responsive regulator binding to the promoter region of this gene cluster. OrrA functions as an activator mediating the UV‐B induced MAA biosynthesis. Overexpression of orrA strengthened its UV‐B tolerance during desiccation, and enhanced the photosynthetic recovery upon rehydration. Heterologous expression of this gene cluster in Anabaena PCC 7120 produces the same MAA as that in field samples of N . flagelliforme . The MAA structure is assigned as mycosporine‐2‐(4‐deoxygadusolyl‐ornithine) with a molecular weight of 756 Da, the structurally unique MAA compound reported to date. This MAA was catalyzed by mysD‐mysC2‐mysC1 encoding proteins from 4‐deoxygadusol, which was synthesized through the catalysis of mysA‐mysB products. Thus, we elucidated the transcriptional mechanism for a novel type MAA biosynthesis in solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacteria, which shed light on the identification of other components for UV‐B signaling in cyanobacteria.
