Mycorrhizal fungi and roots are complementary in foraging within nutrient patches - Lei Cheng; Weile Chen; Thomas S. Adams; Xing Wei; Le Li; Michael Luke McCormack; Jared L. DeForest; Roger T. Koide; David M. Eissenstat (Ecology, 2016)
The roots of the majority of tree species are associated with either arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. The absorptive roots of tree species also vary widely in their diameter. The linkages between root thickness, mycorrhiza type and nutrient foraging are poorly understood. We conducted a large root ingrowth experiment in the field to investigate how absorptive roots of varying thickness and their associated fungi (AM vs. EM) exploit different nutrient patches (inorganic and organic) in a common garden. In nutrient‐rich patches, thin‐root tree species more effectively proliferated absorptive roots than thick‐root tree species, whereas thick‐root tree species proliferated more mycorrhizal fungal biomass than thin‐root tree species. Moreover, nutrient patches enriched with organic materials resulted in greater root and mycorrhizal fungal proliferation compared to those enriched with inorganic nutrients. Irrespective of root morphology, AM tree species had higher root foraging precision than mycorrhizal hyphae foraging precision within organic patches, whereas EM tree species exhibited the opposite. Our findings that roots and mycorrhizal fungi are complementary in foraging within nutrient patches provide new insights into species coexistence and element cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.

Autophagy Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration and Motor Recovery Following Sciatic Nerve Crush Injury in Rats - Hai-cheng Huang; Li Chen; Hai-xing Zhang; Sheng-fa Li; Pei Liu; Tian-yun Zhao; Chuan-xiang Li (Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2016)
Autophagy maintains cellular homeostasis by stimulating the lysosomal degradation of cytoplasmic structures, including damaged organelles and dysfunctional proteins. The role of autophagy in the renewal and regeneration of injured peripheral nerves remains poorly understood. The current study investigated the role of autophagy in peripheral nerve regeneration and motor function recovery following sciatic nerve crush injury in rats by stimulating or suppressing autophagy and detecting the presence of autophagosomes and LC3-II expression by electron microscopy and Western blotting, respectively. Neurobehavioral function was tested by CatWalk gait analysis 1, 2, 3, and 6 weeks after injury, and the expression of neurofilament (NF)-200 and myelin basic protein (MBP) at the injury site was examined by immunocytochemistry. Apoptosis at the lesion site was determined by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. Treatment of injured rats with the autophagy inducer rapamycin increased the number of autophagosomes and LC3-II expression while reducing the number of apoptotic cells at the lesion; this was associated with an upregulation of MBP and NF-200 expression and increased motor function recovery as compared to sham-operated rats and those that were subjected to crush injury but untreated. The opposite effects were observed in rats treated with the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine. These data indicate that the modulation of autophagy in peripheral nerve injury could be an effective pharmacological approach to promote nerve regeneration and reestablish motor function.

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide-Induced Calcium Alginate Gel Combined with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Differentiating to Osteoblasts - Chang-zhi Huang; Xiao-ning Yang; Da-cheng Liu; Yi-gong Sun; Xing-ming Dai (Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2015)
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been confirmed with induction osteoblastic differentiation, but if it can make the three-dimensional culture of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to the osteoblastic differentiation, thus constructing tissue-engineered bone rare reports. To investigate the feasibility of exogenous CGRP-induced calcium alginate gel combined with ADSCs from rabbits in three-dimensional condition to construct tissue-engineered bone. ADSCs were obtained by collagenase I digestion of the subcutaneous adipose tissue of inguinal region of New Zealand rabbits. At the third passage, cells were mixed with sodium alginate to prepare calcium alginate gel, and the cells were assigned into two-group cultivates in 24 orifice plates. ADSCs in the control group were treated with DMEM/F-12 medium supplemented with 10 −2 mol/L β-glycerophosphate sodium, 10 −7 mol/L dexamethasone, 50 mg/L ascorbic acid, 0.1 % volume fraction of fetal bovine serum. ADSCs in the experimental group were incubated with the same medium as above, and in addition 1.5 µg/L CGRP was added. The cells proliferation and the mRNA expressions of collagen I and osteocalcin were detected by MTT and RT-PCR assays, respectively and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and calcium concentration at different induction time were detected. The cell proliferation curves were S shaped. The OD values of experimental group were higher than those of control group at 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 days after osteogenic induction ( P < 0.05). ALP and alizarin red stains of ADSCs were all positive, but golden round nodes became bigger and more in the experimental group compared with the control group after 2 weeks. At 7 and 14 days, collagen I and osteocalcin mRNA expression were greater in the experimental group than the control group. ALP and calcium concentration of experimental group were higher than that of control group at 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks after osteogenic induction ( P < 0.05). Thus, these results show that the CGRP-induced ADSCs combined with calcium alginate gel to osteoblasts differentiation.

Host plant richness explains diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi: Response to the comment of Tedersoo et al . (2014) - Cheng Gao; Nan‐Nan Shi; Yue‐Xing Liu; Yong Zheng; Qiong Ding; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Ke‐Ping Ma; Tesfaye Wubet; François Buscot; Liang‐Dong Guo (Molecular Ecology, 2014)
Exploring the relationships between the biodiversity of groups of interacting organisms yields insight into ecosystem stability and function (Hooper et al . ; Wardle ). We demonstrated positive relationships between host plant richness and ectomycorrhizal ( EM ) fungal diversity both in a field study in subtropical China (Gutianshan) and in a meta‐analysis of temperate and tropical studies (Gao et al . ). However, based on re‐evaluation of our data sets, Tedersoo et al . ( ) argue that the observed positive correlation between EM fungal richness and EM plant richness at Gutianshan and also in our metastudies was based mainly from (i) a sampling design with inconsistent species pool and (ii) poor data compilation for the meta‐analysis. Accordingly, we checked our data sets and repeated the analysis performed by Tedersoo et al . ( ). In contrast to Tedersoo et al . ( ), our re‐analysis still confirms a positive effect of plant richness on EM fungal diversity in Gutianshan, temperate and tropical ecosystems, respectively.

Host plant genus‐level diversity is the best predictor of ectomycorrhizal fungal diversity in a Chinese subtropical forest - Cheng Gao; Nan‐Nan Shi; Yue‐Xing Liu; Kabir G. Peay; Yong Zheng; Qiong Ding; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Ke‐Ping Ma; Tesfaye Wubet; François Buscot; Liang‐Dong Guo (Molecular Ecology, 2013)
Microbial diversity is generally far higher than plant diversity, but the relationship between microbial diversity and plant diversity remains enigmatic. To shed light on this problem, we examined the diversity of a key guild of root‐associated microbes, that is, ectomycorrhizal ( EM ) fungi along a plant diversity gradient in a Chinese subtropical forest. The results indicated that EM fungal diversity was positively correlated with host plant diversity. Furthermore, this relationship was best predicted by host genus‐level diversity, rather than species‐level diversity or family‐level diversity. The generality of this finding was extended beyond our study system through the analyses of 100 additional studies of EM fungal communities from tropical and temperate forests. Here as well, EM fungal lineage composition was significantly affected by EM plant diversity levels, and some EM fungal lineages were co‐associated with some host plant genera. These results suggest a general diversity maintenance mechanism for host‐specific microbes based on higher order host plant phylogenetic diversity.

Impact of climate changes from M iddle M iocene onwards on evolutionary diversification in E urasia: Insights from the mesobuthid scorpions - Cheng‐Min Shi; Ya‐Jie Ji; Lin Liu; Lei Wang; De‐Xing Zhang (Molecular Ecology, 2013)
The aridification from M iddle M iocene onwards has transformed the A sian interior into an arid environment, and the P leistocene glacial–interglacial oscillations exerted further ecological impact. Therefore, both aridification and glaciation would have considerably influenced the evolution of many mid‐latitude species in temperate A sia. Here, we tested this perspective by a phylogeographic study of the mesobuthid scorpions across temperate A sia using one mitochondrial and three nuclear genes. Concordant mitochondrial and nuclear gene trees were obtained, which are consistent with species tree inferred using a B ayesian approach. The age of the most recent common ancestor ( MRCA ) of all the studied scorpions was estimated to be 12.49 Ma (late M iddle M iocene); M esobuthus eupeus diverged from the clade composing M esobuthus caucasicus and M esobuthus martensii in early L ate M iocene (10.21 Ma); M . martensii diverged from M . caucasicus at 5.53 Ma in L ate M iocene. The estimated MRCA ages of M . martensii and the Chinese lineage of M . eupeus were 2.37 and 0.68 Ma, respectively. C entral A sia was identified as the ancestral area for the lineage leading to M . martensii and M . caucasicus and the C hinese lineage of M . eupeus . The ancestral habitat of the genus M esobuthus is likely to have been characterized by an arid environment; a shift towards more humid habitat occurred in the MRCA of M . martensii and a lineage of M . caucasicus , finally leading to the adaptation of M . martensii to humid environment. Our data strongly support the idea that the stepwise intensified aridifications from M id‐ M iocene onwards drove the diversification of mesobuthid scorpions, and suggest that M . martensii and M . eupeus observed today in C hina originated from an ancestral lineage distributed in C entral A sia. Both the colonization and the ensuing evolution of these species in E ast A sia appear to have been further moulded by Q uaternary glaciations.

Plant–microbe association for rhizoremediation of chloronitroaromatic pollutants with Comamonas sp. strain CNB‐1 - Lei Liu; Cheng‐Ying Jiang; Xing‐Yu Liu; Jian‐Feng Wu; Ji‐Gang Han; Shuang‐Jiang Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2007)
Summary Comamonas sp. strain CNB‐1, isolated from activated sludge and having a strong ability to degrade 4‐chloronitrobenzene (4CNB), was applied for rhizoremediation of 4CNB‐polluted soil through association with alfalfa. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that strain CNB‐1 successfully colonized alfalfa roots. Determination of strain CNB‐1 populations by cultivation method and by quantitative competitive PCR technique targeting the chloronitrobenzene nitroreductase gene showed that the population of strain CNB‐1 in the rhizosphere was about 10–100 times higher than that in the bulk soil. Gnotobiotic and outdoor experiments showed that pollutant 4CNB was completely removed within 1 or 2 days after 4CNB application into soil, and that its phytotoxicity to alfalfa was eliminated by inoculation of strain CNB‐1. Results from PCR‐denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and analysis of 16S rRNA gene libraries revealed that the indigenous soil microbial community mainly consisted of alphaproteobacteria, betaproteobacteria, gammaproteobacteria, the CFB bacteria ( Cytophaga‐Flavabacterium‐Bacteriodes ), and Acidobacteria . This microbial community was not significantly influenced by inoculation of strain CNB‐1. Thus, this study has developed a Comamonas ‐alfalfa system for rhizoremediation of 4CNB.
