Profiling heterogenous sizes of circulating tumor microemboli to track therapeutic resistance and prognosis in advanced gastric cancer - Yang Chen; Jiajia Yuan; Yanyan Li; Xue Li; Ying Yang; Jian Li; Yilin Li; Lin Shen (Human Cell, 2021)
Circulating tumor microemboli (CTM) aggregated by ≥ 2 circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are more migratory than single CTCs. Aside from the plasticity in their molecular characteristics, which have been considered tumor migration, CTM also possesses high size heterogeneity. This study, therefore, systematically investigated the heterogeneous sizes of CTM and their involvement in therapeutic resistance in 114 patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) using a pre-established surface molecule-independent subtraction enrichment (SE)-iFISH strategy. CTM, which was pre-therapeutically detected in 33.3% of GC patients, can further form in another 34.78% of patients following chemo-/targeted therapies. The presence of CTM is relevant to liver metastasis as well as higher CTC levels (≥ 5/6 mL). Further size-based profiling of GC-CTM revealed that CTM with 2 CTCs (CTM 2 ) was the dominant subtype, accounting for 50.0% of all detected GC-CTMs. However, CTM with 3–4 CTCs (CTM 3–4 ) specifically associates with chemo-/targeted therapeutic resistance and inferior prognosis. Patients with ≥ 1 CTM 3–4 /6 mL have shorter median progression-free survival and median overall survival. Unlike CTM 2 and CTM 3–4 , which are detectable in pre-therapy and post-therapy, larger aggregated CTM ≥5 (CTM with ≥ 5 CTCs) was only intra-therapeutically detected in four HER2 + GC patients, of which three experienced liver metastases. Obtained results suggested that the cluster size of GC-CTM should be dynamically profiled beyond pre-therapeutic whole CTM enumeration in terms of chemo-/targeted resistance or metastasis monitoring. GC-CTM 3–4 could be a potential indicator of therapeutic resistance, while the dynamic presence of GC-CTM ≥5 implies liver metastasis in HER2 + GC patients.

Gonad Transcriptome Analysis of the Razor Clam (Sinonovacula constricta) Revealed Potential Sex-Related Genes - Hanhan Yao; Zhihua Lin; Yinghui Dong; Xianghui Kong; Lin He; Liangyi Xue (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The razor clam, Sinonovacula constricta is a commercially important bivalve in the western Pacific Ocean, yet little is known about the mechanisms of sex determination/differentiation and gametogenesis. In the present study, the comparative transcriptome analysis of adult gonads (female gonads and male gonads) was conducted to identify potential sex-related genes in S. constricta . The number of reads generated for each target library (three females and three males) ranged from 31,853,422 to 37,750,848, and 20,489,472 to 26,152,448 could be mapped to the reference genome of S. constricta (the map percentage ranging from 63.71 to 71.48%). A total of 8,497 genes were identified to be differentially expressed between the female and male gonads, of which 4,253 were female-biased (upregulated in females), and 4,244 were male-biased. Forty-five genes were identified as potential sex-related genes, including DmrtA2 , Sox9 , Fem-1b , and Fem-1c involved in sex determination/differentiation and Vg, CYP17A1 , SOHLH2 , and TSSK involved in gametogenesis. The expression profiles of 12 genes were validated by qRT-PCR, which further confirmed the reliability and accuracy of the RNA-Seq results. Our results provide basic information about the genes involved in sex determination/differentiation and gametogenesis, and pave the way for further studies on reproduction and breeding in S. constricta and other marine bivalves.

Elevated pCO2 Impedes Succession of Phytoplankton Community From Diatoms to Dinoflagellates Along With Increased Abundance of Viruses and Bacteria - Ruiping Huang; Jiazhen Sun; Yunlan Yang; Xiaowen Jiang; Zhen Wang; Xue Song; Tifeng Wang; Di Zhang; He Li; Xiangqi Yi; Shouchang Chen; Nanou Bao; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Eutrophic coastal regions are highly productive and greatly influenced by human activities. Primary production supporting the coastal ecosystems is supposed to be affected by progressive ocean acidification driven by increasing CO 2 emissions. In order to investigate the effects of high p CO 2 (HC) on eutrophic plankton community structure and ecological functions, we employed 9 mesocosms and carried out an experiment under ambient (∼410 ppmv) and future high (1000 ppmv) atmospheric p CO 2 conditions, using in situ plankton community in Wuyuan Bay, East China Sea. Our results showed that HC along with natural seawater temperature rise significantly boosted biomass of diatoms with decreased abundance of dinoflagellates in the late stage of the experiment, demonstrating that HC repressed the succession from diatoms to dinoflagellates, a phenomenon observed during algal blooms in the East China Sea. HC did not significantly influence the primary production or biogenic silica contents of the phytoplankton assemblages. However, the HC treatments increased the abundance of viruses and heterotrophic bacteria, reflecting a refueling of nutrients for phytoplankton growth from virus-mediated cell lysis and bacterial degradation of organic matters. Conclusively, our results suggest that increasing CO 2 concentrations can modulate plankton structure including the succession of phytoplankton community and the abundance of viruses and bacteria in eutrophic coastal waters, which may lead to altered biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients.

Dicer Deletion in Astrocytes Inhibits Oligodendroglial Differentiation and Myelination - Kun Liu; Bin Yu; Jing-Fei Chen; Rui-Xue Li; Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Fei Wang; Feng Mei; Lan Xiao (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Increasing evidence has shown that astrocytes are implicated in regulating oligodendrocyte myelination, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To understand whether microRNAs in astrocytes function in regulating oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing and adult CNS, we generated inducible astrocyte-specific Dicer conditional knockout mice (hGFAP-CreERT; Dicer fl/fl). By using a reporter mouse line (mT/mG), we confirmed that hGFAP-CreERT drives an efficient and astrocyte-specific recombination in the developing CNS, upon tamoxifen treatment from postnatal day 3 (P3) to P7. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes resulted in inhibited oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing CNS of Dicer cKO mice at P10 and P14, and did not alter the densities of neurons or axons, indicating that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendrocyte myelination. Consequently, the Dicer deletion in astrocytes at P3 resulted in impaired spatial memory and motor coordination at the age of 9 weeks. To understand whether Dicer in astrocytes is also required for remyelination, we induced Dicer deletion in 3-month-old mice and then injected lysolecithin into the corpus callosum to induce demyelination. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes blocked remyelination in the corpus callosum 14 days after induced demyelination. Together, our results indicate that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendroglia myelination in both the developing and adult CNS.

Identification of Main Oyster Species and Comparison of Their Genetic Diversity in Zhejiang Coast, South of Yangtze River Estuary - Sheng Liu; Qinggang Xue; Hongqiang Xu; Zhihua Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Oysters are an important aquaculture species distributed worldwide, including in Zhejiang Province, located on the east coast of China. Because of the high diversity and complicated introduction history of oysters and their seedlings, there has been much disagreement regarding the origin of each species, and the dominant and indigenous species remain unclear. We sampled 16 batches of oysters from seven sites in three aquaculture bays and found two main oyster species, Crassostrea sikamea and Crassostrea angulata . The former occupied the higher intertidal zone and comprised more than 70% of the cultured oysters. Based on the cytochrome oxidase C subunit I (COI) and mitochondrial noncoding region (MNR), C. sikamea showed higher genetic diversity than C. angulata . The analysis of molecular variance among COI sequences of these species from the Xiangshan Bay populations were comparable to those of other populations and showed that most of the molecular variance was within groups, which was consistent with the low pairwise fixation index F ST values. The neutrality test revealed that C. sikamea experienced population expansion events, whereas for C. angulata , the significant Fu’s F s and non-significant Tajima’s D test results may indicate a possible population expansion event, implying that C. sikamea is likely an indigenous species. The method established based on internal transcribed spacer 1 digestion by the HindIII restriction enzyme is useful for identifying C. sikamea and C. angulata in the local region. The specific primers on the MNR sequence show potential for distinguishing C. sikamea from four other important Crassostrea oysters. These results highlight the abundance of C. sikamea on the Zhejiang coast and lay the foundation for protecting and utilizing the local oyster germplasm resources and for the sustainable development of the oyster industry.

TLR8 in the Trigeminal Ganglion Contributes to the Maintenance of Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain in Mice - Lin-Xia Zhao; Ming Jiang; Xue-Qiang Bai; De-Li Cao; Xiao-Bo Wu; Jing Zhang; Jian-Shuang Guo; Tong-Tong Chen; Juan Wang; Hao Wu; Yong-Jing Gao; Zhi-Jun Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) is a significant health problem but the involved mechanism has not been completely elucidated. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have recently been demonstrated to be expressed in the dorsal root ganglion and involved in chronic pain. Here, we show that TLR8 was persistently increased in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons in model of TNP induced by partial infraorbital nerve ligation (pIONL). In addition, deletion or knockdown of Tlr8 in the TG attenuated pIONL-induced mechanical allodynia, reduced the activation of ERK and p38-MAPK, and decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. Furthermore, intra-TG injection of the TLR8 agonist VTX-2337 induced pain hypersensitivity. VTX-2337 also increased the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration, induced the activation of ERK and p38, and increased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. These data indicate that TLR8 contributes to the maintenance of TNP through increasing MAPK-mediated neuroinflammation. Targeting TLR8 signaling may be effective for the treatment of TNP.

Warming Iron-Limited Oceans Enhance Nitrogen Fixation and Drive Biogeographic Specialization of the Globally Important Cyanobacterium Crocosphaera - Nina Yang; Carlin A. Merkel; Yu-An Lin; Naomi M. Levine; Nicholas J. Hawco; Hai-Bo Jiang; Ping-Ping Qu; Michelle A. DeMers; Eric A. Webb; Fei-Xue Fu; David A. Hutchins (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Primary productivity in the nutrient-poor subtropical ocean gyres depends on new nitrogen inputs from nitrogen fixers that convert inert dinitrogen gas into bioavailable forms. Temperature and iron (Fe) availability constrain marine nitrogen fixation, and both are changing due to anthropogenic ocean warming. We examined the physiological responses of the globally important marine nitrogen fixer, Crocosphaera watsonii across its full thermal range as a function of iron availability. At the lower end of its thermal range, from 22 to 27°C, Crocosphaera growth, nitrogen fixation, and Nitrogen-specific Iron Use Efficiencies (N-IUEs, mol N fixed hour –1 mol Fe –1 ) increased with temperature. At an optimal growth temperature of 27°C, N-IUEs were 66% higher under iron-limited conditions than iron-replete conditions, indicating that low-iron availability increases metabolic efficiency. However, Crocosphaera growth and function decrease from 27 to 32°C, temperatures that are predicted for an increasing fraction of tropical oceans in the future. Altogether, this suggests that Crocosphaera are well adapted to iron-limited, warm waters, within prescribed limits. A model incorporating these results under the IPCC RCP 8.5 warming scenario predicts that Crocosphaera N-IUEs could increase by a net 47% by 2100, particularly in higher-latitude waters. These results contrast with published responses of another dominant nitrogen fixer ( Trichodesmium ), with predicted N-IUEs that increase most in low-latitude, tropical waters. These models project that differing responses of Crocosphaera and Trichodesmium N-IUEs to future warming of iron-limited oceans could enhance their current contributions to global marine nitrogen fixation with rates increasing by ∼91 and ∼22%, respectively, thereby shifting their relative importance to marine new production and also intensifying their regional divergence. Thus, interactive temperature and iron effects may profoundly transform existing paradigms of nitrogen biogeochemistry and primary productivity in open ocean regimes.

Summary A LuxI/R‐like quorum sensing (QS) system (AfeI/R) has been reported in the acidophilic and chemoautotrophic Acidithiobacillus spp. However, the function of AfeI/R remains unclear because of the difficulties in the genetic manipulation of these bacteria. Here, we constructed different afeI mutants of the sulfur‐ and iron‐oxidizer A . ferrooxidans , identified the N‐acyl homoserine lactones (acyl‐HSLs) synthesized by AfeI, and determined the regulatory effects of AfeI/R on genes expression, extracellular polymeric substance synthesis, energy metabolism, cell growth and population density of A . ferrooxidans in different energy substrates. Acyl‐HSLs‐mediated distinct regulation strategies were employed to influence bacterial metabolism and cell growth of A . ferrooxidans cultivated in either sulfur or ferrous iron. Based on these findings, an energy‐substrate‐dependent regulation mode of AfeI/R in A . ferrooxidans was illuminated that AfeI/R could produce different types of acyl‐HSLs and employ specific acyl‐HSLs to regulate specific genes in response to different energy substrates. The discovery of the AfeI/R‐mediated substrate‐dependent regulatory mode expands our knowledge on the function of QS system in the chemoautotrophic sulfur‐ and ferrous iron‐oxidizing bacteria, and provides new insights in understanding energy metabolism modulation, population control, bacteria‐driven bioleaching process, and the coevolution between the acidophiles and their acidic habitats.

Ca2+/Calmodulin-NOS/NO-TNFs Pathway Hallmarks the Inflammation Response of Oyster During Aerial Exposure - Hao Chen; Lusheng Xin; Lin Wang; Huan Zhang; Rui Liu; Hao Wang; Xue Qiao; Lingling Wang; Linsheng Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Aerial exposure (emersion) due to the periodical ebb and flow of tides is a major stressor for intertidal organisms and a key environmental factor in shaping their local communities. Oysters are among the most emersion-tolerant mollusk species and can survive for several days under aerial exposure. Noticeably, overwhelming inflammation responses could occur during the emersion stress. However, mechanisms beneath the activation and modulation of emersion-induced inflammation response have remained largely unknown. Ca 2+ is an important intracellular second messenger that plays indispensable roles in inflammation response by cooperation with calmodulin (CaM) genes. Here, we showed that intracellular Ca 2+ accumulates rapidly in oyster hemocytes during emersion stress along with the changes in the protein levels of three CaM genes, which function as intracellular sensors of Ca 2+ . As downstream effector of Ca 2+ /CaM complex, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in hemocytes was enhanced during the emersion stress, facilitating a greater production of nitrite oxide (NO). Augmentation of NO concentration was associated with the increased mRNA expression levels of two oyster cytokines (CgTNFs) during aerial exposure. The robust accumulation of cytokines and severe injury of tissues in oysters have been regarded as potential cause and marker of their death in prolonged emersion stress. Here, both the expression levels of CgTNFs and the tissue injuries of oysters were attenuated when Ca 2+ /CaM complex or NOS activity were repressed in vivo during the emersion stress. These findings indicate that Ca 2+ /CaM-NOS/NO-CgTNFs pathway is critically involved in the emersion-induced inflammation response in oysters and plays a role in the resistance against long-term aerial exposure.

Phase-field modeling of hydraulic fracture network propagation in poroelastic rocks - Lin Ni; Xue Zhang; Liangchao Zou; Jinsong Huang (Computational Geosciences, 2020)
Modeling of hydraulic fracturing processes is of great importance in computational geosciences. In this paper, a phase-field model is developed and applied for investigating the hydraulic fracturing propagation in saturated poroelastic rocks with pre-existing fractures. The phase-field model replaces discrete, discontinuous fractures by continuous diffused damage field, and thus is capable of simulating complex cracking phenomena such as crack branching and coalescence. Specifically, hydraulic fracturing propagation in a rock sample of a single pre-existing natural fracture or natural fracture networks is simulated using the proposed model. It is shown that distance between fractures plays a significant role in the determination of propagation direction of hydraulic fracture. While the rock permeability has a limited influence on the final crack topology induced by hydraulic fracturing, it considerably impacts the distribution of the fluid pressure in rocks. The propagation of hydraulic fractures driven by the injected fluid increases the connectivity of the natural fracture networks, which consequently enhances the effective permeability of the rocks.

This study conducts a comprehensive literature review of articles on the triple bottom line (TBL) published from January 1997 to September 2018 to provide significant insights and support to guide further discussion. There were three booms in TBL publications, occurring in 2003, 2011, and 2015, and many articles attempt to address the issue of sustainability by employing the TBL. This literature analysis includes 720, 132, and 58 articles from the Web of Science (WOS), Inspec, and Scopus databases, respectively, and reveals the gaps in existing research. To discover the barriers and points of overlap, these articles are categorized into six aspects of the TBL: economic, environmental, social, operations, technology, and engineering. Examining the top 3 journals in terms of published articles on each aspect reveals the research trends and gaps. The findings provide solid evidence confirming the argument that the TBL as currently defined is insufficient to cover the entire concept of sustainability. The social and engineering aspects still require more discussion to support the linkage of the TBL and to reinforce its theoretical basis. Additionally, to discover the gaps in the data sources, theories applied, methods adopted, and types of contributions, this article summarizes 82 highly cited articles covering each aspect. This article offers theoretical insights by identifying the top contributing countries, institutions, authors, keyword networks, and authorship networks to encourage scholars to push the current discussion further forward, and it provides practical insights to bridge the gap between theory and practice for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of improvements.

Ancestral niche separation and evolutionary rate differentiation between sister marine flavobacteria lineages - Chun‐Xu Xue; Hao Zhang; He‐Yu Lin; Ying Sun; Danli Luo; Yongjie Huang; Xiao‐Hua Zhang; Haiwei Luo (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Marine flavobacteria are specialists for polysaccharide degradation. They dominate in habitats enriched with polysaccharides, but are also prevalent in pelagic environments where polysaccharides are less available. These niches are likely occupied by distinct lineages, but evolutionary processes underlying their niche differentiation remain elusive. Here, genomic analyses and physiological assays indicate that the sister flavobacteria lineages Leeuwenhoekiella and Nonlabens likely explore polysaccharide‐rich macroalgae and polysaccharide‐poor pelagic niches respectively. Phylogenomic analyses inferred that the niche separation likely occurred anciently and coincided with increased sequence evolutionary rate in Nonlabens compared with Leeuwenhoekiella . Further analyses ruled out the known mechanisms likely driving evolutionary rate acceleration, including reduced selection efficiency, decreased generation time and increased mutation rate. In particular, the mutation rates were determined using an unbiased experimental method, which measures the present‐day populations and may not reflect ancestral populations. These data collectively lead to a new hypothesis that an ancestral and transient mutation rate increase resulted in evolutionary rate increase in Nonlabens . This hypothesis was supported by inferring that gains and losses of genes involved in SOS response, a mechanism known to drive transiently increased mutation rate, coincided with evolutionary rate acceleration. Our analyses highlight the evolutionary mechanisms underlying niche differentiation of flavobacteria lineages.

The datasets of two Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (OMIP) simulation experiments from the LASG/IAP Climate Ocean Model, version 3 (LICOM3), forced by two different sets of atmospheric surface data, are described in this paper. The experiment forced by CORE-II (Co-ordinated Ocean–Ice Reference Experiments, Phase II) data (1948–2009) is called OMIP1, and that forced by JRA55-do (surface dataset for driving ocean–sea-ice models based on Japanese 55-year atmospheric reanalysis) data (1958–2018) is called OMIP2. First, the improvement of LICOM from CMIP5 to CMIP6 and the configurations of the two experiments are described. Second, the basic performances of the two experiments are validated using the climatological-mean and interannual time scales from observation. We find that the mean states, interannual variabilities, and long-term linear trends can be reproduced well by the two experiments. The differences between the two datasets are also discussed. Finally, the usage of these data is described. These datasets are helpful toward understanding the origin system bias of the fully coupled model.

SIMULATION OF SOIL WATER CONTENT FOR IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT BASED ON ON‐FIELD AND CERES‐WHEAT SIMULATED DATA IN WINTER WHEAT IN THE NORTH CHINA PLAIN - Lili Zhou; Shuhua Liao; Zhimin Wang; Pu Wang; Haijun Yan; Yinghua Zhang; Li Zhang; Xue Zhao; Shan Lin; Shunli Zhou (Irrigation and Drainage, 2019)
Accurate forecasting of the soil water in crop growth is crucial for developing an irrigation management strategy and saving water resources. The CERES model can be used to quantitatively predict the soil water content (SWC), but its accuracy and stability should be improved. The objectives of this research were to assess the CERES‐Wheat model for its ability to simulate the SWC in the winter wheat growth season and to study the possibility of improving simulation accuracy by building a modified model through introducing on‐field data and simulated values of CERES‐Wheat. Field experiment data of the varieties ShiJiaZhuang 8 and JiMai 22 from three to four irrigation treatments conducted over 4 years were used to compare precision of the CERES‐Wheat model and the modified model for SWC in the North China Plain. On average across all soil layers between 20 and 120 cm and two winter wheat varieties, the NRMSE decreased from 20.3% with the CERES‐Wheat model to 13.2% with the modified model. The results showed that the further improvement of SWC based on on‐field data and simulated data of CERES‐Wheat may be possible. Application prospects of dynamic water management of the modified model by introducing on‐field data during the wheat growth season were also discussed. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 regulate development and pathogenicity in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Huan‐Bin Shi; Nan Chen; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Shuang Liang; Lin Li; Jiao‐Yu Wang; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The Skp1‐Cul1‐F‐box‐protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligases are important parts of the ubiquitin system controlling many cellular biological processes in eukaryotes. However, the roles of SCF ubiquitin ligases remain unclear in phytopathogenic Magnaporthe oryzae . Here, we cloned 24 F‐box proteins and confirmed that 17 proteins could interact with MoSkp1, showing their potential to participate in SCF complexes. To determine their functions, null mutants of 21 F‐box‐containing genes were created. Among them, the F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 were found to be required for growth, development and full virulence. Fluorescent‐microscopy observations demonstrated that both MoFbx15 and MoCdc4 were localized to the nucleus, compared with MoFwd1, which was distributed in the cytosol. MoCdc4 and MoFwd1 bound to MoSkp1 via the F‐box domain, the deletion of which abrogated their function. Race tube and qRT‐PCR assays confirmed that MoFwd1 was involved in circadian rhythm by regulating transcription and protein stability of the core circadian clock regulator MoFRQ . Moreover, MoFWD1 also orchestrates conidial germination by influencing conidial amino acids pools and oxidative stress release. Overall, our results indicate that SCF ubiquitin ligases play indispensable roles in development and pathogenicity in M. oryzae .

Prediction of Self-Propulsion Performance of Ship Model with Double L-Type Podded Propulsors and Conversion Method for Full-Scale Ship - Dagang Zhao; Chunyu Guo; Jianfeng Lin; Zuotian Zhang; Xue Bai (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
In this study, the self-propulsion performance of a ship model with double-L-type podded propulsors was predicted. Additionally, a conversion method for the performance of a full-scale ship was established based on the correction method published by the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) for the scaling effect of a single podded propeller and research reports on pod tests conducted by different ship research institutes. The thrust deduction and wake fraction of the ship were also analyzed. Furthermore, the self-propulsion performance of a full-scale ship with double L-type pods was determined, the full- and model-scale ships compared in terms of their flow fields and pressure charts, and the influence of the scaling effect analyzed. In addition, the calculation results were compared with the conversion results of a full-scale ship, and the reliability of the method adopted for the performance estimation of a full-scale ship with double podded propulsors was verified. The findings reported herein can provide statistics and technical support for the design of L-type podded propulsors and their application in full-scale ships, which are of theoretical significance and practical value in the engineering domain.

Synoptic patterns and sounding‐derived parameters associated with summertime heavy rainfall in Beijing - Yan Yan; Yucong Miao; Jianping Guo; Shuhua Liu; Huan Liu; Mengyun Lou; Lin Liu; Dandan Chen; Weitao Xue; Panmao Zhai (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Heavy precipitation in Beijing is modulated by both synoptic forcings and local thermodynamic characteristics of troposphere, which has yet to be well known. This study investigated the large‐scale synoptic patterns and local sounding features associated with the summertime heavy precipitation in Beijing, based on long‐term surface meteorological observations, radiosonde measurements, in combination of reanalysis data from 2008 to 2017. The results show that the heavy rainfall occurs more frequently in late July, which is associated with the movement of subtropical anticyclone. The sounding parameters during the heavy rainfall days are examined as well. It is found that the heavy rainfall is often related to favourable convective conditions characterized by abundant water vapour and high unstable energy. The soundings for around 45% of heavy rainfall days in Beijing exhibit the pattern of “thin tube” (TT), and those for ~25 and ~20% of heavy rainfall days show the patterns of “loaded gun” (LG) and “inverted V” (IV), respectively. On average, the rainfall amount of TT is 55.8 mm/day, which is ~3 mm/day (~15 mm/day) higher than that of LG (IV). The more frequent and heavier rainfall observed for TT pattern is due to the high values of precipitable water and wind shear. On the large scale, three dominant synoptic patterns associated with heavy rainfall in Beijing have been identified using the T‐mode principle component analysis. These synoptic patterns are all characterized by prevailing southerly winds within the lower troposphere, resulting in water vapours being easily transported from southern regions to Beijing, which in turn favours the occurrence of heavy precipitation. These dominant synoptic patterns and thermodynamic characteristics associated with the heavy rainfall in Beijing revealed in this study have important implications for better understanding of heavy rainfall in the North China Plain.

Direct and indirect effects of climate on richness drive the latitudinal diversity gradient in forest trees - Chengjin Chu; James A. Lutz; Kamil Král; Tomáš Vrška; Xue Yin; Jonathan A. Myers; Iveren Abiem; Alfonso Alonso; Norm Bourg; David F.R.P. Burslem; Min Cao; Hazel Chapman; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2019)
Climate is widely recognised as an important determinant of the latitudinal diversity gradient. However, most existing studies make no distinction between direct and indirect effects of climate, which substantially hinders our understanding of how climate constrains biodiversity globally. Using data from 35 large forest plots, we test hypothesised relationships amongst climate, topography, forest structural attributes (stem abundance, tree size variation and stand basal area) and tree species richness to better understand drivers of latitudinal tree diversity patterns. Climate influences tree richness both directly, with more species in warm, moist, aseasonal climates and indirectly, with more species at higher stem abundance. These results imply direct limitation of species diversity by climatic stress and more rapid (co‐)evolution and narrower niche partitioning in warm climates. They also support the idea that increased numbers of individuals associated with high primary productivity are partitioned to support a greater number of species.

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.

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.

Comparative analysis of the transcriptional responses to low and high temperatures in three rice planthopper species - Hai‐Jian Huang; Jian Xue; Ji‐Chong Zhuo; Ruo‐Lin Cheng; Hai‐Jun Xu; Chuan‐Xi Zhang (Molecular Ecology, 2017)
The brown planthopper ( Nilaparvata lugens , BPH ), white‐backed planthopper ( Sogatella furcifera , WBPH ) and small brown planthopper ( Laodelphax striatellus , SBPH ) are important rice pests in Asia. These three species differ in thermal tolerance and exhibit quite different migration and overwintering strategies. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we sequenced and compared the transcriptome of the three species under different temperature treatments. We found that metabolism‐, exoskeleton‐ and chemosensory‐related genes were modulated. In high temperature (37 °C), heat shock protein ( HSP ) genes were the most co‐regulated; other genes related with fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and transportation were also differentially expressed. In low temperature (5 °C), the differences in gene expression of the genes for fatty acid synthesis, transport proteins and cytochrome P450 might explain why SBPH can overwinter in high latitudes, while BPH and WBPH cannot. In addition, other genes related with moulting, and membrane lipid composition might also play roles in resistance to low and high temperatures. Our study illustrates the common responses and different tolerance mechanisms of three rice planthoppers in coping with temperature change, and provides a potential strategy for pest management.
