Molecular response of Sargassum vulgare to acidification at volcanic CO 2 vents: insights from de novo transcriptomic analysis - Amit Kumar; Immacolata Castellano; Francesco Paolo Patti; Massimo Delledonne; Hamada Abdelgawad; Gerrit T. S. Beemster; Han Asard; Anna Palumbo; Maria Cristina Buia (Molecular Ecology, 2017)
Ocean acidification is an emerging problem that is expected to impact ocean species to varying degrees. Currently, little is known about its effect on molecular mechanisms induced in fleshy macroalgae. To elucidate genome wide responses to acidification, a transcriptome analysis was carried out on Sargassum vulgare populations growing under acidified conditions at volcanic CO 2 vents and compared with populations in a control site. Several transcripts involved in a wide range of cellular and metabolic processes were differentially expressed. No drastic changes were observed in the carbon acquisition processes and RuBis CO level. Moreover, relatively few stress genes, including those for antioxidant enzymes and heat‐shock proteins, were affected. Instead, increased expression of transcripts involved in energy metabolism, photosynthetic processes and ion homeostasis suggested that algae increased energy production to maintain ion homeostasis and other cellular processes. Also, an increased allocation of carbon to cell wall and carbon storage was observed. A number of genes encoding proteins involved in cellular signalling, information storage and processing and transposition were differentially expressed between the two conditions. The transcriptional changes of key enzymes were largely confirmed by enzymatic activity measurements. Altogether, the changes induced by acidification indicate an adaptation of growth and development of S. vulgare at the volcanic CO 2 vents, suggesting that this fleshy alga exhibits a high plasticity to low pH and can adopt molecular strategies to grow also in future more acidified waters.

Observed spatio‐temporal changes of winter snow albedo over the north‐west Himalaya - H. S. Negi; P. Datt; N. K. Thakur; A. Ganju; V. K. Bhatia; G. Vinay Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
This study presents the spatio‐temporal winter snow albedo analysis over different mountain ranges of north‐west Himalaya ( NWH ) for a period of approximately 24 years. Here we assess the temporal albedo variations in past two decades (1991–2010) in comparison to the recent 14 years (2000–2014). The field collected manual data of two representative observatories of Lower Himalaya ( LH ) and Great Himalaya ( GH ), and six automatic weather stations in LH , GH and Karakoram Himalaya ( KH ) were analysed. Satellite derived MODIS albedo data (MOD10A1) over these stations between 2001 and 2014 were analysed. A good correlation ( r = 0.59) was observed between monthly average MODIS retrieved albedo and field collected albedo for GH with a relative error of 11%. In past two decades, a statistically significant (99%) decreasing rate of −0.011 per year in winter snow albedo was observed over GH (1993–2010), while in recent decade (2001 onward), no statistically significant increasing trend was observed. The change in albedo of GH is attributed to winter mean air temperature, which shows a significant rise in the past two decades, but there has been a hiatus in winter mean air temperature rise in recent decade. The higher winter mean air temperature above 0 °C since beginning of the study period (1991 onward) kept albedo of moist/wet snow approximately stable in LH . Further, insignificant increasing trend of albedo was observed over KH range in recent decade, and it is attributed to persistent very low temperatures and an increase in the frequency of snowfall days. This albedo study over NWH supports the recently reported findings on Himalayan snow cover and glacier variations during different durations.

Govindakrishnan; Dieudonne Harahagazwe; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2017)
A potato crop multimodel assessment was conducted to quantify variation among models and evaluate responses to climate change. Nine modeling groups simulated agronomic and climatic responses at low‐input (Chinoli, Bolivia and Gisozi, Burundi)‐ and high‐input (Jyndevad, Denmark and Washington, United States) management sites. Two calibration stages were explored, partial (P1), where experimental dry matter data were not provided, and full (P2). The median model ensemble response outperformed any single model in terms of replicating observed yield across all locations. Uncertainty in simulated yield decreased from 38% to 20% between P1 and P2. Model uncertainty increased with interannual variability, and predictions for all agronomic variables were significantly different from one model to another ( P ET ), nitrogen uptake, and water use efficiency as compared to dry matter. A minimum of five partial, or three full, calibrated models was required for an ensemble approach to keep variability below that of common field variation. Model variation was not influenced by change in carbon dioxide (C), but increased as much as 41% and 23% for yield and ET , respectively, as temperature (T) or rainfall (W) moved away from historical levels. Increases in T accounted for the highest amount of uncertainty, suggesting that methods and parameters for T sensitivity represent a considerable unknown among models. Using median model ensemble values, yield increased on average 6% per 100‐ppm C, declined 4.6% per °C, and declined 2% for every 10% decrease in rainfall (for nonirrigated sites). Differences in predictions due to model representation of light utilization were significant ( P

Clouds– SST relationship and interannual variability modes of Indian summer monsoon in the context of clouds and SSTs : observational and modelling aspects - Hemantkumar S. Chaudhari; Samir Pokhrel; Ajay Kulkarni; Anupam Hazra; Subodh Kumar Saha (International Journal of Climatology, 2016)
This study examines the relationship between clouds and sea surface temperatures ( SSTs ) during Indian Summer Monsoon ( ISM ). Observation reveals dominance of high‐level clouds in the monsoon region. NCEP Climate Forecast System version 2 ( CFSv2 ) is able to replicate the observed high‐level cloud fractions although it underestimates the magnitude. Cloud– SST relationship for observation depicts dominance of positive correlation over equatorial Indian Ocean region which is well recapitulated in CFSv2 simulations. To investigate the most dominating patterns of interannual variability of rainfall, SST and clouds, empirical orthogonal function ( EOF ) analysis is performed on seasonal JJAS (June–September) dataset. EOF analysis signifies that high‐level clouds are highly correlated with rainfall for observations during ISM season. This study has also investigated relationship of clouds and El Niño Southern Oscillations (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) during ISM period. Interannual variations of clouds connote significant correlation with ENSO index (Nino 3/Nino 3.4). First principal component ( PC1 ) of high‐level clouds and ENSO index indicate significant negative correlation. EOF analysis based on observation also connotes that first mode (second) of EOF analysis is associated with ENSO ( IOD ). It is also confirmed by maximum covariance analysis ( MCA ). CFSv2 is also able to depict the significant negative correlation between PC1 of high‐level clouds and ENSO index. Observation based second principal component ( PC2 ) of high‐level clouds and IOD index exhibits significant positive correlation. It gives indication that PC2 of observed high‐level clouds can be associated with IOD . In contrast, PC2 of CFSv2 simulated high‐level cloud and IOD index are not correlated. EOF analysis based on CFSv2 shows that the first mode of EOF analysis is associated with ENSO ; however, second mode of EOF is not related with IOD . MCA analysis also supports these findings. It means that CFSv2 has good ability to represent ENSO as compared with IOD .

In this study, a new cell line derived from the caudal fin of the freshwater angelfish Pterophyllum scalare was developed and characterized. The cell line was designated angelfish fin ( AFF ) and subcultured 44 times since its development. These cells grew well in Leibovitz's −15 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine saline ( FBS ) at 28° C and the modal chromosome number (2 n ) was 48. The AFF cell‐line is mainly comprised of epithelial cells as confirmed by immunocytological technique using anti‐cytokeratin antibodies, an epithelial cell marker. This cell line was tested for growth in a temperatures range from 20 to 37° C and at various FBS concentrations of 5–20% at 28° C. The cell line was cryopreserved at different passage levels and revived successfully with 80% survival rate. Polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of partial mitochondrial 16s rRNA and coI genes confirmed that the AFF cell‐line originated from angelfish. Mycoplasma sp. contamination was not detected in AFF cells and checked by Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining. At the 42nd passage the cells were transfected with 2 μg of pAcGFP1‐N1 expression vector. The AFF cells exhibited cytotoxic effects when exposed to the bacterial extra cellular products from Serratia marcescens and Proteus hauseri . The AFF cells and cells from kidney and brain did not show cytopathic effect when exposed to cyprinid herpes virus2 and viral nervous necrosis virus. The newly developed AFF cell line will be useful for the isolation of viruses affecting angelfishes, such as iridoviruses, in the future.
