Aeromonas shuberti as a cause of multi‐organ necrosis in internal organs of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus - C Liu; O Q Chang; D F Zhang; K B Li; F Wang; M H Lin; C B Shi; L Jiang; Q Wang; S M Bergmann (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2018)
A disease with white spots in internal organs of Nile tilapia occurred in Zhanjiang, southern China. Multiple, white nodules, 0.8–2.2 mm in diameter, were scattered throughout the liver, spleen and kidney of diseased fish. Signs of nodules reproduced after artificial infection with the isolated strain. Isolated bacteria were Gram‐negative, facultative anaerobic, motile, short rod‐shaped, with a length of 1.2–2.2 μm. Morphological and biochemical tests, as well as phylogenetic analysis, all strongly indicated that the isolate from tilapia is identical to Aeromonas schubertii ( A. schubertii) which temporary named LF 1708 strain. Antibiotic sensitivity assays showed the LF 1708 is sensitive to 24 of 27 tested antibiotics. Pathogenicity test revealed that the isolate at the dose of 3.75 × 10 6 CFU /g killed 100% of experimental tilapia within 2 days and the dose of 1 × 10 7 CFU /g killed 100% of experimental zebrafish within 1 day. Histopathology of diseased tilapia infected with A. schubertii showed numerous necrotic lesions widely distributed in spleen, liver and kidney, and infiltration with a large number of bacteria. To our knowledge, this was the first report that associated A. schubertii with mortality in tilapia.

Successional change in species composition alters climate sensitivity of grassland productivity - Zheng Shi; Yang Lin; Kevin R. Wilcox; Lara Souza; Lifen Jiang; Jiang Jiang; Chang Gyo Jung; Xia Xu; Mengting Yuan; Xue Guo; Liyou Wu; Jizhong Zhou; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Succession theory predicts altered sensitivity of ecosystem functions to disturbance (i.e., climate change) due to the temporal shift in plant community composition. However, empirical evidence in global change experiments is lacking to support this prediction. Here, we present findings from an 8‐year long‐term global change experiment with warming and altered precipitation manipulation (double and halved amount). First, we observed a temporal shift in species composition over 8 years, resulting in a transition from an annual C 3 ‐dominant plant community to a perennial C 4 ‐dominant plant community. This successional transition was independent of any experimental treatments. During the successional transition, the response of aboveground net primary productivity ( ANPP ) to precipitation addition magnified from neutral to +45.3%, while the response to halved precipitation attenuated substantially from −17.6% to neutral. However, warming did not affect ANPP in either state. The findings further reveal that the time‐dependent climate sensitivity may be regulated by successional change in species composition, highlighting the importance of vegetation dynamics in regulating the response of ecosystem productivity to precipitation change.

Factors regulating carbon sinks in mangrove ecosystems - Shi‐Bo Li; Po‐Hung Chen; Jih‐Sheng Huang; Mei‐Li Hsueh; Li‐Yung Hsieh; Chen‐Lu Lee; Hsing‐Juh Lin (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Mangroves are recognized as one of the richest carbon storage systems. However, the factors regulating carbon sinks in mangrove ecosystems are still unclear, particularly in the subtropical mangroves. The biomass, production, litterfall, detrital export and decomposition of the dominant mangrove vegetation in subtropical ( Kandelia obovata ) and tropical ( Avicennia marina ) Taiwan were quantified from October 2011 to July 2014 to construct the carbon budgets. Despite the different tree species, a principal component analysis revealed the site or environmental conditions had a greater influence than the tree species on the carbon processes. For both species, the net production (NP) rates ranged from 10.86 to 27.64 Mg C ha −1 year −1 and were higher than the global average rate due to the high tree density. While most of the litterfall remained on the ground, a high percentage (72%–91%) of the ground litter decomposed within 1 year and fluxed out of the mangroves. However, human activities might cause a carbon flux into the mangroves and a lower NP rate. The rates of the organic carbon export and soil heterotrophic respiration were greater than the global mean values and those at other locations. Only a small percentage (3%–12%) of the NP was stored in the sediment. The carbon burial rates were much lower than the global average rate due to their faster decomposition, indicating that decomposition played a critical role in determining the burial rate in the sediment. The summation of the organic and inorganic carbon fluxes and soil heterotrophic respiration well exceeded the amount of litter decomposition, indicating an additional source of organic carbon that was unaccounted for by decomposition in the sediment. Sediment‐stable isotope analyses further suggest that the trapping of organic matter from upstream rivers or adjacent waters contributed more to the mangrove carbon sinks than the actual production of the mangrove trees.

The basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor Crf1 is required for development and pathogenicity of the rice blast fungus by regulating carbohydrate and lipid metabolism - Huijuan Cao; Pengyun Huang; Yuxin Yan; Yongkai Shi; Bo Dong; Xiaohong Liu; Lidan Ye; Fucheng Lin; Jianping Lu (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Pyricularia oryzae is a plant pathogen causing rice blast, a serious disease spreading in cultivated rice globally. Transcription factors play important regulatory roles in fungal development and pathogenicity. Here, we characterized the biological functions of Crf1, a basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) transcription factor, in the development and pathogenicity of P. oryzae with functional genetics, molecular and biochemical approaches. We found that CRF1 is necessary for virulence and plays an indispensable role in the regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in P. oryzae . Deletion of CRF1 led to defects in utilization of lipids, ethanol, glycerol and L‐arabinose, and down‐regulation of many important genes in lipolysis, β ‐oxidation, gluconeogenesis, as well as glycerol and arabinose metabolism. CRF1 is also essential for peroxisome and vacuole function, and conidial cell death during appressorium formation. The appressorium turgor, penetration ability and virulence in Δ crf1 were restored by supplementation of exogenous glucose. The virulence of Crf1 mutant was also recovered by adding exogenous D‐xylose, but not by addition of ethanol, pyruvate, leucine or L‐arabinose. These data showed that Crf1 plays an important role in the complex regulatory network of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism that governs fungal development and pathogenicity.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi stimulate organic phosphate mobilization associated with changing bacterial community structure under field conditions - Lin Zhang; Ning Shi; Jiequn Fan; Fei Wang; Timothy S. George; Gu Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The extraradical hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) harbour and interact with a microbial community performing multiple functions. However, how the AMF‐microbiome interaction influences the phosphorus (P) acquisition efficiency of the mycorrhizal pathway is unclear. Here we investigated whether AMF and their hyphal microbiome play a role in promoting organic phosphorus (P) mineralizing under field conditions. We developed an AMF hyphae in‐growth core system for the field using PVC tubes sealed with membrane with different size of pores (30 or 0.45 μm) to allow or deny AMF hyphae access to a patch of organic P in root‐free soil. AMF and their hyphae associated microbiome played a role in enhancing soil organic P mineralization in situ in the field, which was shown to be a function of the change in bacteria community on the hyphae surface. The bacterial communities attached to the AMF hyphae surface were significantly different from those in the bulk soil. Importantly, AMF hyphae recruited bacteria that produced alkaline phosphatase and provided a function that was absent from the hyphae. These results demonstrate the importance of understanding trophic interactions to be able to gain insight into the functional controls of nutrient cycles in the rhizosphere.

VPS9 domain‐containing proteins are essential for autophagy and endocytosis in Pyricularia oryzae - Xue‐Ming Zhu; Shuang Liang; Huan‐Bin Shi; Jian‐Ping Lu; Bo Dong; Qian‐Sheng Liao; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Pyricularia oryzae is the causal pathogen of rice blast disease. Autophagy has been shown to play important roles in P . oryzae development and plant infection. The P. oryzae endosomal system is highly dynamic and has been shown to be associated with conidiogenesis and pathogenicity as well. To date, the crosstalk between autophagy and endocytosis has not been explored in P. oryzae . Here, we identified three P. oryzae VPS9 domain‐containing proteins, PoVps9, PoMuk1 and PoVrl1. We found that PoVps9 and PoMuk1 are localized to vesicles and are each co‐localized with PoVps21, a recognized marker of early endosomes. Deletion of PoVPS9 resulted in severe defects in endocytosis and autophagosome degradation and impaired the localization of PoVps21 to endosomes. Additionally, deletion of the PoMUK1 gene in the Δ Povps9 mutant background exhibited more severe defects in development, autophagy and endocytosis compared with the Δ Povps9 mutant. Pull‐down assay showed that PoVps9 interacts with PoVps21, PoRab11 and PoRab1, which have been verified to participate in endocytosis. Furthermore, yeast two‐hybrid and co‐immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that PoVps9 directly interacts with the GDP form of PoVps21. Thus, PoVps9 is a key protein involved in autophagy and in endocytosis.

Summary Despite numerous laboratory studies on physiologies of harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, physiologies of these algae during a natural bloom are understudied. Here, we investigated a bloom of the raphidophyte Heterosigma akashiwo in the East China Sea in 2014 using metabarcode (18S rDNA) and metatranscriptome sequencing. Based on 18S rDNA analyses, the phytoplankton community shifted from high diversity in the pre‐bloom stage to H. akashiwo predominance during the bloom. A sharp decrease in ambient dissolved inorganic phosphate and strong up‐regulation of phosphate and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) uptake genes, including the rarely documented (ppGpp)ase, in H. akashiwo from pre‐bloom to bloom was indicative of rapid phosphorus uptake and efficient utilization of DOP that might be a driver of the H. akashiwo bloom. Furthermore, observed up‐regulated expression of mixotrophy‐related genes suggests potential contribution of mixotrophy to the bloom. Accelerating photosynthetic carbon fixation was also implied by the up‐regulation of carbonic anhydrase genes during the bloom. Notably, we also observed a strong morning‐to‐afternoon shift in the expression of many genes. Our findings provide insights into metabolic processes likely important for H. akashiwo bloom formation, and suggest the need to consider timing of sampling in field studies on this alga.

Statistical properties of annual and seasonal daily maximum precipitation in terms of nonstationarity, upper tail properties, and impact of tropical cyclones ( TCs ) were analysed, using data from 728 meteorological stations across China and TCs tracks data covering a period of 1951–2014. The change points and trends detected by stepwise regression method and modified Mann–Kendall, respectively, provide limited evidence of the violation of the stationarity assumption in both annual and seasonal extreme precipitation, and we cannot make conclusive statements about the presence of a possible climate change signal. For stationary stations, the ratio of scale to location parameters of generalized extreme value ( GEV ) distribution shows exponential for annual and seasonal extreme precipitation in some sub‐regions. On the other hand, annual and seasonal maxima point to an unbounded‐above and heavy‐tail behaviour, and discussion of these upper tail properties in light of mixtures of different rainfall‐generating mechanisms is provided. In addition, anomalous values of the GEV shape parameter are associated with TCs in controlling the upper tail of annual maxima on China's coastal areas with strong spatial heterogeneities.

MoRad6‐mediated ubiquitination pathways are essential for development and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae - Huan‐Bin Shi; Guo‐Qing Chen; Ya‐Ping Chen; Bo Dong; Jian‐Ping Lu; Xiao‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Cheng Lin (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary The ubiquitin system modulates protein functions through targeting substrates for ubiquitination. Here, E2 conjugating enzyme MoRad6‐related ubiquitination pathways are identified and analyzed in Magnaporthe oryzae , the causal agent of rice blast disease. Disruption of MoRad6 leads to severe defects in growth, sporulation, conidial germination, appressorium formation, and plant infection. To depict the functions of MoRad6, three putative ubiquitin ligases, MoRad18, MoBre1 and MoUbr1, are also characterized. Deletion of MoRad18 causes minor phenotypic changes, while MoBre1 is required for growth, conidiation and pathogenicity in M. oryzae . Defects in ΔMobre1 likely resulted from the reduction in di‐ and tri‐methylation level of Histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4). Notably, MoUbr1 is crucial for conidial adhesion and germination, possibly by degrading components of cAMP/PKA and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) Pmk1 signaling pathways via the N‐end rule pathway. Germination failure of ΔMoubr1 conidia could be rescued by elevation of cAMP level or enhanced Pmk1 phosphorylation resulting from further deletion of MoIra1, the M. oryzae homolog of yeast Ira1/2. These reveal vital effects of cAMP/PKA and MAPK Pmk1 signaling on conidial germination in M. oryzae . Altogether, our results suggest that MoRad6‐mediated ubiquitination pathways are essential for the infection‐related development and pathogenicity of M. oryzae .

Unchanged carbon balance driven by equivalent responses of production and respiration to climate change in a mixed‐grass prairie - Xia Xu; Zheng Shi; Xuecheng Chen; Yang Lin; Shuli Niu; Lifen Jiang; Ruiseng Luo; Yiqi Luo (Global Change Biology, 2016)
Responses of grassland carbon (C) cycling to climate change and land use remain a major uncertainty in model prediction of future climate. To explore the impacts of global change on ecosystem C fluxes and the consequent changes in C storage, we have conducted a field experiment with warming (+3 °C), altered precipitation (doubled and halved), and annual clipping at the end of growing seasons in a mixed‐grass prairie in Oklahoma, USA , from 2009 to 2013. Results showed that although ecosystem respiration ( ER ) and gross primary production ( GPP ) negatively responded to warming, net ecosystem exchange of CO 2 ( NEE ) did not significantly change under warming. Doubled precipitation stimulated and halved precipitation suppressed ER and GPP equivalently, with the net outcome being unchanged in NEE . These results indicate that warming and altered precipitation do not necessarily have profound impacts on ecosystem C storage. In addition, we found that clipping enhanced NEE due to a stronger positive response of GPP compared to ER , indicating that clipping could potentially be an effective land practice that could increase C storage. No significant interactions between warming, altered precipitation, and clipping were observed. Meanwhile, we found that belowground net primary production ( BNPP ) in general was sensitive to climate change and land use though no significant changes were found in NPP across treatments. Moreover, negative correlations of the ER / GPP ratio with soil temperature and moisture did not differ across treatments, highlighting the roles of abiotic factors in mediating ecosystem C fluxes in this grassland. Importantly, our results suggest that belowground C cycling (e.g., BNPP ) could respond to climate change with no alterations in ecosystem C storage in the same period.

Summary R ab GTP ases are required for vesicle–vacuolar fusion during vacuolar biogenesis in fungi. To date, little is known about the biological functions of the R ab small GTP ase components in M agnaporthe oryzae . In this study, we investigated MoYpt 7 of M . oryzae , a homologue of the small R as‐like GTP ase Ypt7 in S accharomyces cerevisiae . Cellular localization assays showed that MoYpt 7 was predominantly localized to vacuolar membranes. Using a targeted gene disruption strategy, a Δ MoYPT7 mutant was generated that exhibited defects in mycelial growth and production of conidia. The conidia of the Δ MoYPT7 mutant were malformed and defective in the formation of appressoria. Consequently, the Δ MoYPT7 mutant failed to cause disease in rice and barley. Furthermore, the Δ MoYPT7 mutant showed impairment in autophagy, breached cell wall integrity, and higher sensitivity to both calcium and heavy metal stress. Transformants constitutively expressing an active MoYPT7 allele ( MoYPT7 ‐ CA , G ln67 L eu) exhibited distinct phenotypes from the Δ MoYPT7 mutant. Expression of MoYPT7 ‐ CA in MoYpt 7 reduced pathogenicity and produced more appressoria‐forming single‐septum conidia. These results indicate that MoYPT7 is required for fungal morphogenesis, vacuole fusion, autophagy, stress resistance and pathogenicity in M . oryzae .
