A meta‐analysis of fertilizer‐induced soil NO and combined NO +N 2 O emissions - Shuwei Liu; Feng Lin; Shuang Wu; Cheng Ji; Yi Sun; Yaguo Jin; Shuqing Li; Zhaofu Li; Jianwen Zou (Global Change Biology, 2017)
Soils are among the important sources of atmospheric nitric oxide ( NO ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), acting as a critical role in atmospheric chemistry. Updated data derived from 114 peer‐reviewed publications with 520 field measurements were synthesized using meta‐analysis procedure to examine the N fertilizer‐induced soil NO and the combined NO +N 2 O emissions across global soils. Besides factors identified in earlier reviews, additional factors responsible for NO fluxes were fertilizer type, soil C/N ratio, crop residue incorporation, tillage, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, drought and biomass burning. When averaged across all measurements, soil NO ‐N fluxes were estimated to be 4.06 kg ha −1 yr −1 , with the greatest (9.75 kg ha −1 yr −1 ) in vegetable croplands and the lowest (0.11 kg ha −1 yr −1 ) in rice paddies. Soil NO emissions were more enhanced by synthetic N fertilizer (+38%), relative to organic (+20%) or mixed N (+18%) sources. Compared with synthetic N fertilizer alone, synthetic N fertilizer combined with nitrification inhibitors substantially reduced soil NO emissions by 81%. The global mean direct emission factors of N fertilizer for NO ( EF NO ) and combined NO +N 2 O ( EF c ) were estimated to be 1.16% and 2.58%, with 95% confidence intervals of 0.71–1.61% and 1.81–3.35%, respectively. Forests had the greatest EF NO (2.39%). Within the croplands, the EF NO (1.71%) and EF c (4.13%) were the greatest in vegetable cropping fields. Among different chemical N fertilizer varieties, ammonium nitrate had the greatest EF NO (2.93%) and EF c (5.97%). Some options such as organic instead of synthetic N fertilizer, decreasing N fertilizer input rate, nitrification inhibitor and low irrigation frequency could be adopted to mitigate soil NO emissions. More field measurements over multiyears are highly needed to minimize the estimate uncertainties and mitigate soil NO emissions, particularly in forests and vegetable croplands.

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.

CmpacC regulates mycoparasitism, oxalate degradation and antifungal activity in the mycoparasitic fungus C oniothyrium minitans - Yi Lou; Yongchao Han; Long Yang; Mingde Wu; Jing Zhang; Jiasen Cheng; Moying Wang; Daohong Jiang; Weidong Chen; Guoqing Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary The PacC /Rim101 pH ‐responsive transcription factor is an important pathogenicity element for many plant‐pathogenic fungi. In this study, we investigated the roles of a PacC homologue, CmpacC , in the mycoparasitic fungus C oniothyrium minitans . CmpacC was confirmed to have the transcriptional activation activity by the transcriptional activation test in S accharomyces cerevisiae . Disruption of CmpacC resulted in impaired fungal responses to ambient pH . Compared to the wild‐type, the CmpacC ‐disruption mutant Δ CmpacC ‐29 was significantly suppressed for activities of chitinase and β‐1,3‐glucanase at pH 5 and 7, consistent with reduced expression levels of Cmch1 and Cmg1 coding for the two enzymes respectively. However, the mutant displayed acidity‐mimicking phenotypes such as improved oxalate degradation and increased antifungal activity at pH 6 or higher. Improved efficacy in oxalate degradation by Δ CmpacC ‐29 was consistent with the enhanced expression level of Cmoxdc1 coding for oxalate decarboxylase. CmpacC transcriptional activation of Cmch1 and Cmg1 and repression of Cmoxdc1 were verified by the presence of the PacC /Rim101 consensus binding‐motifs in gene promoter regions and by the promoter DNA ‐binding assays. This study suggests that CmpacC plays an activator role in regulation of C . minitans mycoparasitism, whereas plays a repressor role in regulation of oxalate degradation and possibly antifungal activity of C . minitans .

Altitudinal and latitudinal dependence of future warming in Taiwan simulated by WRF nested with ECHAM5/MPIOM - Chuan‐Yao Lin; Ying‐Jea Chua; Yang‐Fan Sheng; Huang‐Hsiung Hsu; Chao‐Tzuen Cheng; Yi‐Yin Lin (International Journal of Climatology, 2015)
It is difficult and inadequate to use a global model alone for projecting future climate changes in areas such as Taiwan, a complex geographic nature island, due to its coarse resolution. In this study, we have performed dynamic downscaling of Taiwan's climate in the recent past (1979–2003) and climate change projection for the near and distant future (2015–2039 and 2075–2099, respectively) by using the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model. The simulation is forced by the Max Plank Institute Hamburg, global model, ECHAM5/MPIOM. Simulation results showed close correlation between fine‐resolution downscaling by WRF nested with ECHAM5/MPIOM and the actual observation data for the period 1979–2003. Projection of future climate changes revealed both altitudinal and latitudinal variations in warming trend, with more significant temperature increase in mountain areas than in plain areas towards the end of the 21st century and more obvious warming in the north than in the south of Taiwan. The results obtained in this study can be applied to other regions of similar latitudes and with comparable relief.

Species delimitation in the C hinese bamboo partridge B ambusicola thoracica ( P hasianidae; A ves) - Chih‐Ming Hung; Hsin‐Yi Hung; Chia‐Fen Yeh; Yi‐Qiang Fu; De Chen; Fumin Lei; Cheng‐Te Yao; Chiou‐Ju Yao; Xiao‐Jun Yang; Yu‐Ting Lai; Shou‐Hsien Li (Zoologica Scripta, 2014)
Although tropical and subtropical Asia harbour a high level of species diversity, their species richness can be underestimated because species which are in fact distinct have not been separately identified. In this study, we delimit B ambusicola thoracica into two full species, the Chinese bamboo partridge ( B. thoracica ) in continental Asia and the Taiwanese bamboo partridge ( B . sonorivox ) on the island of Taiwan, using coalescent‐based multilocus division and diagnosable vocalization patterns. Isolation‐with‐migration analysis indicated that the two bamboo partridges diverged approximately 1.8 million years ago, with gene flow present most probably during the early stages of their divergence. This conclusion supports the hypothesis that diverging lowland lineages spread across the Asian mainland, and continental islands have more opportunities for secondary contact than highland ones when the sea level was low. Our results imply that conservation of biodiversity in tropical and subtropical Asia could be hindered by overlooking numerous ‘hidden’ species and highlight the importance of re‐examining the taxonomic statuses of species in this region traditionally defined as polytypic.
