BMSCs improve TNBS-induced colitis in rats by inducing Treg differentiation by expressing PD-L1 - Fei Gao; Dandan Cui; Dongmei Zuo; Zhexing Shou; Jia Yang; Ting Yu; Yujin Liu; Si Chu; Feng Zhu; Chunzhu Wei (Biotechnology Letters, 2022)
Objectives Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) show promise in treating inflammatory bowel disease. We tested if BMSCs improve Trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis by inducing Treg differentiation by modulating programmed cell death 1 ligand 1(PD-L1). Results BMSCs were isolated and transfected with PD-L1 siRNA. Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal, model, BMSC control, and PD-L1 siRNA BMSC. Colitis was induced by TNBS, except in the normal group. On d4, the BMSC control and PD-L1 siRNA BMSC groups were intravenously injected with BMSCs at a dose of 5 × 10 6 cells in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; volume matched). BMSCs were later verified to have reached the colon tissue. BMSC control showed significantly better clinical symptoms and reduced histopathological colitis severity; PD-L1 siRNA BMSC group showed no difference. PD-L1 siRNA reduced: spleen and mesenteric lymph node Tregs, PD-L1, interleukin-10 (IL10), phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN); colon p-Akt and p-mTOR were increased. Conclusions We found that BMSCs can induce Treg differentiation by inhibiting the Akt/mTOR pathway via PD-L1; this significantly improved symptoms and pathology in our ulcerative colitis rat models.

Increased microbial and substrate complexity result in higher molecular diversity of the dissolved organic matter pool - Qi Chen; Christian Lønborg; Feng Chen; Michael Gonsior; Yunyun Li; Ruanhong Cai; Chen He; Jiaxin Chen; Yu Wang; Quan Shi; Nianzhi Jiao; Qiang Zheng (Limnology and Oceanography, 2022)
Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents one of the largest reduced carbon pools on Earth. Diverse microbial metabolic activities play important roles in shaping this pool. However, the links between changing DOM substrates and microbial communities and its influence on the microbial produced DOM remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how the addition of substrates with different complexity (glucose, laminarin, and Synechococcus ‐derived DOM) impacted the production of new DOM by an individual opportunist Alteromonas strain and a coastal natural microbial community. Our experiments reveal that the microbial complexity was more important than the substrate in shaping the molecular composition of DOM. Furthermore, our results showed that the DOM composition played a larger role in shaping the microbial compositions than the concentrations of DOM and inorganic nutrients. Combined our network analysis revealed that complex substrates resulted in higher molecular diversity of the microbial produced DOM, sustained a higher microbial diversity, and maintained a more diverse association between microbial communities and DOM molecules. Overall, the present study indicate that the microbial diversity contributes to DOM molecular diversity and vice versa, highlighting the importance of microbial–substrate interactions in shaping the marine DOM pool.

Establishment of a cell line derived from the gills of Gymnocypris przewalskii , an endemic Schizothoracine fish from Qinghai Lake of Tibet Plateau - Fulei Wei; Jian Liang; Miao Yue; Wengen Tian; Luxian Yu; Zhaohui Feng; Qiang Hua (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
Gymnocypris przewalskii (Naked carp), a native teleost, plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of Lake Qinghai (altitude, 3.2 km), the largest saline lake in China. In this study, a new gill cell line from G. przewalskii was developed using the explant technique and named as GPG. This cell line was maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (high glucose), supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and was successfully subcultured up to 32 passages. Meanwhile, this cell line was also authenticated by sequencing the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I ( COI ) and 16S rRNA genes and by chromosome analysis. With the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, the GPG cell line could express green fluorescent protein (GFP) at about 5% transfection efficiency. MTT test showed that Clostridium botulinum toxin (BTX) was toxic to the cell line. After cryopreservation with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), this cell line could be successfully revived at an efficiency over 70%. This study revealed that the GPG cell line could be used as materials for physio‐chemical investigation of G. przewalskii and also provided a tool for gene function study and toxicological reaction in vitro .

Local temperature increases reduce soil microbial residues and carbon stocks - Xiao‐Min Zeng; Jiao Feng; Dai‐Lin Yu; Shu‐Hai Wen; Qianggong Zhang; Qiaoyun Huang; Manuel Delgado‐Baquerizo; Yu‐Rong Liu (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Warming is known to reduce soil carbon (C) stocks by promoting microbial respiration, which is associated with the decomposition of microbial residue carbon (MRC). However, the relative contribution of MRC to soil organic carbon (SOC) across temperature gradients is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the contribution of MRC to SOC along two independent elevation gradients of our model system (i.e., the Tibetan Plateau and Shennongjia Mountain in China). Our results showed that local temperature increases were negatively correlated with MRC and SOC. Further analyses revealed that rising temperature reduced SOC via decreasing MRC, which helps to explain future reductions in SOC under climate warming. Our findings demonstrate that climate warming has the potential to reduce C sequestration by increasing the decomposition of MRC, exacerbating the positive feedback between rising temperature and CO 2 efflux. Our study also considered the influence of multiple environmental factors such as soil pH and moisture, which were more important in controlling SOC than microbial traits such as microbial life‐style strategies and metabolic efficiency. Together, our work suggests an important mechanism underlying long‐term soil C sequestration, which has important implications for the microbial‐mediated C process in the face of global climate change.

Spatiotemporal resilience assessment and comparison in China’s bay area - Yu Han; Yaowen Zhang; Han Zhang; Cuicui Feng; Tianran Hua; Yiqun Yang; Peng Yun; Jian Zeng; Li Peng; Jiangning Zeng; Guanqiong Ye (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The bay area is a crucial land–sea junction zone containing essential urban clusters while receiving extremely complex internal and external disturbances that challenge more on its resilience management. However, a sound management tool based on the bay area’s resilience is widely lacking due to the difficulty of unifying resilience indicators and quantifying resilience relationships between regions. This paper tries to establish a comprehensive resilience index for coastal bays from four major resilience-related dimensions, namely, physical structure, social development, ecological environment, and hazards, and applies it into the three major developed bay areas in China. A coupling coordination degree model was used to further reveal the resilience development and its internal coordination by temporal and spatial differences. The results show that the index could clearly reveal the resilience changes from the year 2000 to 2020 of the three bays with the common key drivers of socioeconomic development. It also explains the resilience changes among three bay areas through analyzing synergistic and conflict relationships between the four sub-resilience systems.

Diapycnal mixing variations induced by subthermocline eddies observed in the north Pacific western boundary region - Feng Nan; Huijie Xue; Fei Yu; Qiang Ren; Jianfeng Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Recent observations prove that subthermocline eddies (SEs) are energetic in the north Pacific western boundary region, where interhemispheric waters meet. Our previous study showed that the SEs play an important role in isopycnal mixing of interhemispheric intermediate waters. Whether the SEs can induce diapycnal mixing in the western boundary region is unknown although it has been found true in the interior region. In this study, based on in-situ observations and fine-scale parameterization method, we show spatial structure and variability of diapycnal mixing induced by the SEs in the north Pacific western boundary region. The SEs are located between 200 and 750 m with a maximum swirl speed reaching 0.5 m s -1 and exhibit significant intra-seasonal variability with the period ranging between 50 and 100 days. Compared with shears induced by tides and near-inertial oscillation, sub-inertial shears induced by the SEs are dominant in the subthermocline layer. Consequently, diapycnal diffusivity is elevated up to O (10 -4 ) m 2 s -1 about one order higher than the background value when the SEs were passing by. The integrated diapycnal diffusivity between 200 and 750 m is increased by 210%. Modulated by the SEs, diapycnal mixing in the subthermocline has significant intra-seasonal variations. With more and more SEs being observed around the global oceans, we suggest that SE-induced mixing may not be trivial in closing the global ocean energy budget.

Modal Identification of Structures by Eliminating the Effect of the High Ocean Wind - Chun-Xu Qu; Chang-Chong Liu; Xiao-Mei Yang; Hui-Juan Liu; Hong-Nan Li; Yu-Feng Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with severe excitation such as high wind. This severe excitation may change the performance of structures, such as bridges, wharves and wind turbine structures. It is very necessary to monitor this important change. Modal parameters are the ones to reflect the structural instinct behavior. However, many identification methods assume that the excitation is white noise, which is not the truth during high ocean wind excitation. Therefore, the modal identification method to deal with severe ocean wind excitation should be investigated. This paper proposes an innovative method to eliminate the effect of high ocean wind on modal identification. The formulation to generate an impulse response is described, where the effect of high wind is pointed. Then the elimination method is derived using the wind velocity spectrum and correlation function. After the wind field is simulated, the wind velocities and spectra at all accelerometer positions are obtained. The real impulse response form is obtained. Then, modal identification using the real impulse response is performed. Finally, a practical cable-stayed bridge is employed and modal identification is performed. The results show that the identified modes can reflect structural real behavior.

The role of ancestral seascape discontinuity and geographical distance in structuring rockfish populations in the Pacific Northwest - Cheng-He Sun; Rodolphe Elie Gozlan; Ting Wu; Dan Xue; Ye-Ling Lao; Jian-Feng Yu; Xiao-Shu Zeng; Sha Li; Emilie A. Hardouin; Demetra Andreou; Qun Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Despite the apparent absence of physical barriers in the ocean to prevent dispersal, recent studies have highlighted the importance of biological, geographical, physical, and historical barriers in the genetic structuring of marine species populations. This representation is essential for the sustainable exploitation of natural marine resources and for the setup of efficient protected area networks for the conservation of marine species. In this study, we used extensive sampling of Sebastiscus marmoratus , a commercially important inshore rockfish with high site fidelity, to characterize their population genetic structure along the China–Japan coast and to determine the effect of past geological and current biological–physical barriers on the current genetic footprint. A 461-bp fragment of the mtDNA hypervariable portion control region was sequenced for 675 individuals from 15 geographical locations. A total of 292 haplotypes were identified. The population of S. marmoratus showed high haplotype and nucleotide diversity. Pairwise fixation index ( F ST ) and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed significant genetic differentiation among populations. The Bayesian skyline plots and neutrality statistics showed a sudden expansion of the S. marmoratus population around the Pleistocene. The Beibu Gulf group had the lowest mean number of pairwise differences, the lowest significant genetic differentiation, and the lowest haplotype and nucleotide diversity, and should be prioritized for protection in the future. Ocean currents, seascape discontinuity, geographical distance, and ecological characteristics may play an important role in shaping the contemporary phylogeographical patterns and population structures of S. marmoratus .

Starvation shrinks the mussel foot secretory glands and impairs the byssal attachment - Yi Zheng; Yue-Ming Yang; Yue-Feng Xu; Yu-Qing Wang; Xue Shi; Gao-Hai Zheng; Yi-Feng Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mussel is an economically and ecologically important species widely distributed throughout the world. The mussel adheres to the attachment substrate by secreting byssus external to the body. Various environmental and biological factors influence the process of byssus secretion, and the present study investigated the effect of starvation on byssal secretion in the hard-shelled mussel Mytilus coruscus . Histological changes in mussel foot secretory glands and gene expression of mussel foot proteins were also determined. The experimental setup consisted of starvation treatments for 7, 14 and 21 days, and the control groups. The results showed that the number of produced byssus was higher in the starvation group compared to the control (CTR) group, and the starvation group had a significantly higher of byssal shedding number from 6 days of starvation treatment onwards ( p < 0.05). The byssal thread diameter was significantly reduced in all starvation treatment groups ( p < 0.05). However, starvation treatment had no effect on the length of the byssal thread ( p > 0.05). After 21 days of starvation treatment, the byssal thread volume was significantly lower than that of the CTR group ( p < 0.05). A significant decrease in the breaking force of the byssal thread was observed after 14 and 21 days of starvation treatment ( p < 0.05), along with an upward shift in the breakpoints. Starvation treatment significantly reduced the percentage of foot secretory glands area to total tissue ( p < 0.05). The expression of the mussel foot protein genes ( Mcfp-1P and Mcfp-1T ) was significantly up-regulated at 7 days of starvation treatment ( p < 0.05). These findings reveal that starvation weakens byssal thread performance by influencing mussel foot secretory glands, which increases the dislodgment risks of suspended-cultured mussels.

Spatiotemporal variations of seasonal temperature at different percentiles in the three provinces of northeast China from 1961 to 2019 - Yaxue Yang; Huixiao Wang; Changming Liu; Ru Feng; Yu Wang; Hongfang Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
The three provinces of northeast China (NEPs) were one of the major grain producing areas in China and has undergone significant climate warming during past decades. However, nowadays researches on climate warming mostly focused on variations of mean temperature or temperature extremes, which missed much information in the other parts of temperature. Therefore, taken NEPs as study area, variations of maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin) and diurnal temperature range (DTR) at every 10% percentile from 1961 to 2019 in NEPs were analysed at seasonal scale. The abrupt changes and decadal shifts of Tmax, Tmin and DTR at different percentiles were further highlighted. Results show that (a) for either regional average or station cases, fluctuations of daily Tmax and daily Tmin both decreased in spring and winter, but increased in autumn. In summer, fluctuations of daily Tmin decreased while those of daily Tmax increased. (b) Spatially, Tmax heated up more in south of NEPs at lower percentiles, and in northwest of NEPs at higher percentiles in spring, summer and winter. Tmin and DTR overall showed consistent spatial differences that changes in north and northwest of NEPs were with greater magnitudes. (c) In spring and winter, the higher Tmax/Tmin had earlier abrupt changes than lower Tmax/Tmin, while in summer and autumn, the abrupt changes occurred earlier for lower Tmax/Tmin. (d) In winter, overwhelming positive shifts were significant before 2000, but turned negative after 2000. In summer, Tmax heated up quickly since 1990s and Tmin since 1980s. Shifts in spring and autumn varied during different periods and generally presented alternative warming at higher and lower percentiles. The research can help better depict the warming patterns and figure out the detailed warming procedures in NEPs, which is a strong supplement for current climate change research.

Methods We conducted a global dataset of CO 2 effluxes in 711 pairwise soils with 13 C or 14 C simple C sources inputs and without C inputs from incubation experiments in which isotope‐labelled C was used to quantify fresh C‐induced rather than exudate‐induced priming. Results Soil priming effect intensity is predominantly positive. Soil texture and C content were identified as the most important factors associated with priming effects, with sandy soils from tropical and mid‐latitudes supporting the highest soil priming effect intensity, and soils with greater C content and fine textures from high latitudes maintaining the lowest soil priming effects. The negative association between C content and soil priming effect intensity was also indirectly driven by changing mean annual temperature, net primary productivity, and fungi : bacteria ratio. Using this information, we generated a global map of soil priming effect intensity, and found that the priming was lower at high latitudes and higher at lower latitudes. Main conclusions Global patterns of soil priming effect intensity can be predicted using environmental data, with soil texture and C content playing a predominant role in explaining in priming effects. These effects were also indirectly driven by climate, vegetation and soil microbial properties. We present the first global atlas of soil priming effect intensity and advance our knowledge on the potential mechanisms underlying soil priming effect intensity, which are integral to improving the climate change and soil C dynamics components of Earth System models.

Otolith Microchemistry Assessment: Evidence of Migratory Coilia nasus of Yangtze River Living in the Shengsi Sea Area - Yu Li; Jianhua Chen; Guangpeng Feng; Jian Yang; Feng Zhao; Chenchen Shen; Chao Song; Tao Jiang (Fishes, 2022)
At present, the resources of anadromous fish in the world are drastically reduced and one of the solutions to promote its recovery may be to identify and protect its feeding grounds. To determine whether the feeding grounds of anadromous Coilia nasus in the Yangtze River are still in the sea area, the quantitative line analysis of Sr and Ca contents (Sr/Ca ratios) and the area distribution analysis of Sr content in the otoliths of C. nasus in three water areas (Poyang Lake, Yangtze River estuary and Shengsi Sea area) were carried out by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) to analyze the habitat use and the migratory patterns of different estuarine C. nasus. These results showed that the Sr/Ca ratios of all otoliths fluctuated significantly. By comparison, it was found that C. nasus of Yangtze River might exist in the Shengsi Sea area, and the Shengsi Sea area might be one of the feeding grounds of migratory C. nasus. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out a comprehensive investigation on the distribution of related groups in the Shengsi Sea area and the influence of potential threat factors, such as fishing and harsh habitat, to effectively protect the resources and habitats of C. nasus in the Shengsi Sea area.

Knockdown of Two Iodothyronine Deiodinase Genes Inhibits Epinephrine-Induced Larval Metamorphosis of the Hard-Shelled Mussel Mytilus coruscus - Xue Shi; Yu-Qing Wang; Yue-Ming Yang; Yi-Feng Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The metamorphosis process is a critical life-changing event for marine invertebrate planktonic larvae to transform into benthic adults, which is crucial for the shellfish bed’s ecosystem stability and seed production in aquaculture. The mechanism of neuroendocrine regulation in the larval metamorphosis of bivalves remains ambiguous. In the present study, the expression of two deiodinase genes, McDx and McDy , was analyzed by whole-mount in situ hybridization at four larval stages in the hard-shelled mussel Mytilus coruscus . The McDx and McDy localized in visceral tissues, nervous system, mantle, and velum, indicating that two deiodinase genes are essential for larval development in M. coruscus . Knockdown of the McDx and McDy in the pediveliger larvae of M. coruscus using electroporation of siRNA significantly ( p < 0.001) reduced McDx and McDy expression. McDx and McDy knockdown reduced larval metamorphosis in 45% and 49% of the pediveliger larvae induced by epinephrine (EPI). It is hypothesised that the knockdown effects of McDx and McDy repress metamorphic induction rather than larval viability, which does not elicit a lethal effect. The present study corroborates a synergistic action of the adrenergic and thyroid hormones signalling pathway in M. coruscus , and suggests the role of McDx and McDy in larval development and metamorphic transition.

Astragaloside IV improved antioxidative stress capacity and related gene expression of the Keap1‐Nrf2 pathway in grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) hepatocytes under heat stress - Hua Liu; Ying Yang; Ying‐Ying Yu; Jing‐Jing Feng; Xiao‐Xue Bao; Jun Zhao; Hui Yu (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
This study aims to investigate the protective effects of astragaloside IV (AS‐IV) on the hepatocytes of grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) on heat stress. Cultured cells were treated with AS‐IV (0, 50, 100 and 200 μg/ml) at 28°C for 24 h and then exposed to heat stress by increasing the culturing temperature (32 ± 0.5°C) for 6 h. The increased temperatures significantly reduced cell viability and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the 0 μg/ml AS‐IV treatment group at 32°C, but the grass carp hepatocytes treated with 100 and 200 μg/ml AS‐IV had significantly increased cell viability and SOD activity and decreased MDA levels. The mRNA levels of keap1a , keap1b , nrf2 , gsh‐px , cat , cu‐zn sod , mgst1 and il‐6 were significantly lower in the 0 μg/ml AS‐IV treatment group at 32°C, while those of keap1a , nrf2 , gsh‐px , cat , cu‐zn sod , gstp1 , ho‐1 and il‐6 were significantly higher in cells treated with 100 or 200 μg/ml AS‐IV. Our findings indicate that AS‐IV could enhance the antioxidative stress capacity of grass carp hepatocytes under heat stress, and its mechanism may be associated with the activation of the Keap1‐Nrf2 pathway. Thus, these results provide new insights into how to alleviate heat stress in grass carp.

Remarkable effects of microbial factors on soil phosphorus bioavailability: A country‐scale study - Jing‐li Lu; Pu Jia; Shi‐wei Feng; Yu‐tao Wang; Jin Zheng; Shu‐ning Ou; Zhuo‐hui Wu; Bin Liao; Wen‐sheng Shu; Jie‐Liang Liang; Jin‐tian Li (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Low soil phosphorus (P) bioavailability causes the widespread occurrence of P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems around the globe. Exploring the factors influencing soil P bioavailability at large spatial scales is critical for managing these ecosystems. However, previous studies have mostly focused on abiotic factors. In this study, we explored the effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability of terrestrial ecosystems using a country‐scale sampling effort. Our results showed that soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and acid phosphatase were important predictors of soil P bioavailability of agro‐ and natural ecosystems across China although they appeared less important than total soil P. The two microbial factors had a positive effect on soil P bioavailability of both ecosystem types and were able to mediate the effects of several abiotic factors (e.g., mean annual temperature). Meanwhile, we revealed that soil phytase could affect soil P bioavailability at the country scale via ways similar to those of soil MBC and acid phosphatase, a pattern being more pronounced in agroecosystems than in natural ecosystems. Moreover, we obtained evidence for the positive effects of microbial genes encoding these enzymes on soil P bioavailability at the country scale although their effect sizes varied between the two ecosystem types. Taken together, this study demonstrated the remarkable effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability at a large spatial scale, highlighting the importance to consider microbial factors in managing the widespread P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems.

Continental‐scale plant invasions reshuffle the soil microbiome of blue carbon ecosystems - Gui‐Feng Gao; Huan Li; Yu Shi; Teng Yang; Chang‐Hao Gao; Kunkun Fan; Yihui Zhang; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Manuel Delgado‐Baquerizo; Hai‐Lei Zheng; Haiyan Chu (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Theory and experiments support that plant invasions largely impact aboveground biodiversity and function. Yet, much less is known on the influence of plant invasions on the structure and function of the soil microbiome of coastal wetlands, one of the largest major reservoirs of biodiversity and carbon on Earth. We studied the continental‐scale invasion of Spartina alterniflora across 2451 km of Chinese coastlines as our model‐system and found that S. alterniflora invasion can largely influence the soil microbiome (across six depths from 0 to 100 cm), compared with the most common microhabitat found before invasion (mudflats, Mud). In detail, S. alterniflora invasion was not only positively associated with bacterial richness but also resulted in important biotic homogenization of bacterial communities, suggesting that plant invasion can lead to important continental scale trade‐offs in the soil microbiome. We found that plant invasion changed the community composition of soil bacterial communities across the soil profile. Moreover, the bacterial communities associated with S. alterniflora invasions where less responsive to climatic changes than those in native Mud microhabitats, suggesting that these new microbial communities might become more dominant under climate change. Plant invasion also resulted in important reductions in the complexity and stability of microbial networks, decoupling the associations between microbes and carbon pools. Taken together, our results indicated that plant invasions can largely influence the microbiome of coastal wetlands at the scale of China, representing the first continental‐scale example on how plant invasions can reshuffle the soil microbiome, with consequences for the myriad of functions that they support.

Gelatin From Cartilage of Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenser baerii): Preparation, Characterization, and Protective Function on Ultraviolet-A-Injured Human Skin Fibroblasts - Zhe Zhang; Yu-Mei Wang; Yi-Ting Qiu; Chang-Feng Chi; Hong-Yu Luo; Bin Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
For full use of the by-products during Siberian sturgeon ( Acipenser baerii ) processing, gelatin was extracted from the cartilages using the hot water method, and its physico-chemical properties and protective function on ultraviolet-A injured human skin fibroblasts (HFSBs) were measured. Using single-factor and orthogonal experiments, the conditions for extracting gelatin from Siberian sturgeon cartilage were optimized as extraction time of 7 h, pH 9, material-to-liquid ratio (g/ml) of 1:5, and temperature of 45°C. The prepared gelatin (TCG) with a yield of 28.8 ± 1.53% had Gly (307 residues/1,000 residues) as the major amino acid and contained a lower amount (214 residues/1,000 residues) of imino acids than that (227 residues/1,000 residues) of pigskin gelatin (PSG). Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), ultraviolet spectrum, and infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that TCG had the main spectral characteristics of fish gelatin and contained α chains (α1 and α2 chains) and β chain of type I collagen, but its structural stability was lower than that of PSG due to its low content of imino acids, which induced the smaller molecular bands observed in the SDS-PAGE pattern. TCG exhibited lower water content, gel strength, emulsion stability index, foam capacity, foam stability, and water-holding capacity but higher ash content, transmittance, emulsion activity index, and fat-binding capacity ( P < 0.05). Moreover, TCG could significantly protect HFSBs against ultraviolet-A injury by enhancing the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase to scavenge excess reactive oxygen species and decrease the content of malondialdehyde. Therefore, gelatin from Siberian sturgeon cartilages could act as promising candidates when applied in health-promoting products against ultraviolet-A injury.

Habitat Variations of Two Commercially Valuable Species Along the Chilean Waters Under Different-Intensity El Niño Events - Zhiping Feng; Wei Yu; Yang Zhang; Yunkai Li; Xinjun Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The synchronous response of the spatial distribution pattern of Dosidicus gigas and Trachurus murphyi habitat along the Chilean waters to different-intensity El Niño events was examined based on the habitat suitability index (HSI) models inclusive with the key environmental factors of sea surface height anomaly (SSHA), sea surface salinity (SSS), water temperature at 400-m depth (Temp_400 m) for D. gigas , sea surface temperature (SST), mixed layer depth (MLD), Temp_400 m for T. murphyi , and Niño 1 + 2 index. Results showed that all the environmental factors except MLD were significantly correlated with the Niño 1 + 2 index. Compared with weak (WE) and moderate (ME) El Niño events, the suitable range of SSHA and SSS for D. gigas decreased, resulting in a decreased suitable habitat area and increased poor habitat area during the strong (SE) El Niño years. In space, the suitable habitat of D. gigas was mainly distributed in north-central Chile with an east–west strip pattern; it decreased significantly in the northwestern waters off Chile and moved southwestward under SE El Niño events. For T. murphyi , the ME El Niño events yielded a contracted suitable range of water temperature and MLD decreased, consequently leading to a decreased suitable habitat area and increased poor habitat area of T. murphyi compared to WE and SE El Niño events. The suitable habitat of T. murphyi was mainly distributed in the 42°–47°S area and varied non-significantly during the WE and SE El Niño events; however, it clearly decreased in the southwest area of Chile and shifted northeastward under ME El Niño events. Our results indicated that El Niño events with different intensities strongly affected the habitat pattern of D. gigas and T. murphyi off Chile by changing the regional marine environment.

Quinoline, with the active site of 8‐hydroxyl, efficiently inhibits Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) infection in vitro and in vivo - Bo‐Yang Li; Fei Yang; Zhong‐Yu Zhang; Yu‐Feng Shen; Tao Wang; Liang Zhao; Jia‐Cheng Qin; Fei Ling; Gao‐Xue Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) is an significant pathogen that causes high mortality and related economic losses in bass aquaculture. There is no effective or approved therapy to date. In this study, we evaluated the anti‐MSRV effects of 22 quinoline derivatives in grass carp ovary (GCO) cells. Among these compounds, 8‐hydroxyquinoline exhibited valid inhibition in decreasing MSRV nucleoprotein gene expression levels of 99.3% with a half‐maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) value of 4.66 μM at 48 h. Moreover, 8‐hydroxyquinoline significantly enhanced a protective effect in GCO cells by reducing the cytopathic effect (CPE). By comparing the anti‐MSRV activity of 22 quinoline derivatives, we found that 8‐hydroxyquinoline possessed the efficient active site of 8‐hydroxyl and inhibited MSRV infection in vitro. For in vivo studies, 8‐hydroxyquinoline via intraperitoneal injection exhibited an antiviral effect in MSRV‐infected largemouth bass by substantially enhancing the survival rate by 15.0%. Importantly, the viral loads in the infected largemouth bass notably reduced in the spleen on the third days post‐infection. Overall, 8‐hydroxyquinoline was considered to be an efficient agent against MSRV in aquaculture.

Global benefits of non‐continuous flooding to reduce greenhouse gases and irrigation water use without rice yield penalty - Yan Bo; Jonas Jägermeyr; Zun Yin; Yu Jiang; Junzeng Xu; Hao Liang; Feng Zhou (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Non‐continuous flooding is an effective practice for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and irrigation water use (IRR) in rice fields. However, advancing global implementation is hampered by the lack of comprehensive understanding of GHGs and IRR reduction benefits without compromising rice yield. Here, we present the largest observational data set for such effects as of yet. By using Random Forest regression models based on 636 field trials at 105 globally georeferenced sites, we identified the key drivers of effects of non‐continuous flooding practices and mapped maximum GHGs or IRR reduction benefits under optimal non‐continuous flooding strategies. The results show that variation in effects of non‐continuous flooding practices are primarily explained by the UnFlooded days Ratio (UFR, that is the ratio of the number of days without standing water in the field to total days of the growing period). Non‐continuous flooding practices could be feasible to be adopted in 76% of global rice harvested areas. This would reduce the global warming potential (GWP) of CH 4 and N 2 O combined from rice production by 47% or the total GWP by 7% and alleviate IRR by 25%, while maintaining yield levels. The identified UFR targets far exceed currently observed levels particularly in South and Southeast Asia, suggesting large opportunities for climate mitigation and water use conservation, associated with the rigorous implementation of non‐continuous flooding practices in global rice cultivation.

EBSD Characterization of 7075 Aluminum Alloy and Its Corrosion Behaviors in SRB Marine Environment - Zhiyuan Feng; Jiao Li; Jincai Ma; Yongjin Su; Xiaoyuan Zheng; Yu Mao; Zilong Zhao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Aluminum alloy 7075 is an important engineering material for ship structures. However, the corrosion of Al alloys generally exists in various environments, especially in the marine environment. Currently, the corrosion behaviors of Al alloy 7075 in sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) marine environment has not been well-addressed. In this paper, the corrosion effect of SRB on 7075 aluminum alloys was studied by adding SRB to real seawater. The microstructure and grain orientation of the super-hardness Al alloy 7075 were studied via the electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD)technology, and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test of the electrochemical corrosion behavior of 7075 in a variety of microorganisms, mainly SRB, in real seawater was continuously performed for 21 days. It was concluded that Al alloy 7075 has the strongest texture intensity on the (001), (111), (010), and (0–10) planes, which is 2.565. Adding SRB to real seawater accelerated the corrosion rate, and after corrosion on the 14th day, the protective film on the 7075 aluminum alloy surface was completely broken, and the impedance was significantly reduced.

Massive Heat Shock Protein 70 Genes Expansion and Transcriptional Signatures Uncover Hard Clam Adaptations to Heat and Hypoxia - Zhi Hu; Hao Song; Jie Feng; Cong Zhou; Mei-Jie Yang; Pu Shi; Zheng-Lin Yu; Yong-Ren Li; Yong-Jun Guo; Hai-Zhou Li; Tao Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) members participate in a wide range of housekeeping and stress-related activities in eukaryotic cells. In marine ecosystems, bivalves encounter abiotic stresses, including high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen. Here, 133 MmHSP70 genes were identified through combined methods including Blastp, HMM and manual filtration, based on the whole Mercenaria mercenaria genome. The MmHSP70 genes were unevenly distributed, and 41 genes (33.08%) were located on Chr 7. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the MmHSP70 gene family mainly consisted of two clusters and the Hspa12 subfamily underwent lineage-specific expansion. A high-density collinear gene block was observed between M. mercenaria Chr 7 and Cyclina sinensis Chr 14. Tandem duplication MmHSP70 gene pairs experienced different levels of purifying selection, which could be an important source of sequence and functional constraints. MmHSP70 genes showed tissue-specific and stress-specific expression. Most tandem duplication HSP70 gene pairs had high expression under hypoxia stress. HSP70 B2 tandem duplication gene pairs showed significantly increased expression under heat plus severe hypoxia stress. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the MmHSP70 gene family in the M. mercenaria and laid a significant foundation for further studies on the functional characteristics of MmHSP70 genes during exposure to heat and hypoxia stress.

Multiple Lenses of N-Isotopes Reveal Active Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Cycling in a Subtropical Estuary and Marginal Sea - Xiaosong Zhong; Maojun Yan; Wenqi Xu; Zhenwei Yan; Feng Xu; Shuhang Dong; Yu Xin; Xiaoyong Shi (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is an important component of the marine nitrogen (N) inventory and plays an essential role in N cycling in global estuaries and marginal seas. Understanding DON cycling is important but challenging. Global estuaries and marginal seas are experiencing significant anthropogenic impacts and have intensive physical/biochemical gradients. Therefore, high-quality DON concentration and N-isotope (δ 15 N–DON) data are very difficult to obtain. To enrich this knowledge, we take the Changjiang Estuary and the adjacent East China Sea shelf seas as a representative example and analyzed multiple isotopes and the concentrations of nitrate ( N O 3 − ), particulate nitrogen (PN), and DON. N isotopes combined with optimum multiparameter analysis proved to be very informative. This integrated analysis discriminates active DON production and consumption from a seemingly conservative distribution pattern of DON. The study area was divided into DON production zones 1 and 2 (P-zone 1 and 2) and DON consumption zones 1 and 2 (C-zone 1 and 2). For P-zone 1, the PN-originated DON elevated the δ 15 N–DON, while in P-zone 2, the DON excreted by phytoplankton was characterized by low δ 15 N and lowered δ 15 N–DON. DON consumption occurred in the N O 3 − depleted surface waters (C-zone 1) as well as the shelf middle and bottom waters (C-zone 2). This study discovers and consolidates the active and dynamical zoning of DON cycling from the estuary to the offshore marginal sea and establishes a useful means that is of valuable reference to DON cycling studies in global estuaries and marginal seas.

Metabolic tuning of a stable microbial community in the surface oligotrophic Indian Ocean revealed by integrated meta-omics - Zhang-Xian Xie; Ke-Qiang Yan; Ling-Fen Kong; Ying-Bao Gai; Tao Jin; Yan-Bin He; Ya-Yu Wang; Feng Chen; Lin Lin; Zhi-Long Lin; Hong-Kai Xu; Zong-Ze Shao; et al. (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Understanding the mechanisms, structuring microbial communities in oligotrophic ocean surface waters remains a major ecological endeavor. Functional redundancy and metabolic tuning are two mechanisms that have been proposed to shape microbial response to environmental forcing. However, little is known about their roles in the oligotrophic surface ocean due to less integrative characterization of community taxonomy and function. Here, we applied an integrated meta-omics-based approach, from genes to proteins, to investigate the microbial community of the oligotrophic northern Indian Ocean. Insignificant spatial variabilities of both genomic and proteomic compositions indicated a stable microbial community that was dominated by Prochlorococcus , Synechococcus , and SAR11. However, fine tuning of some metabolic functions that are mainly driven by salinity and temperature was observed. Intriguingly, a tuning divergence occurred between metabolic potential and activity in response to different environmental perturbations. Our results indicate that metabolic tuning is an important mechanism for sustaining the stability of microbial communities in oligotrophic oceans. In addition, integrated meta-omics provides a powerful tool to comprehensively understand microbial behavior and function in the ocean.

Structure of the Western Tibetan Vortex inconsistent with a thermally-direct circulation - Xiao-Feng Li; Jingjing Yu; Shaofeng Liu; Jingzhi Wang; Lei Wang (Climate Dynamics, 2022)
The Western Tibetan Vortex (WTV) is a large-scale circulation pattern identified from year-to-year circulation variability, which was used to understand the causal mechanisms for slowdown of the glacier melting over the western Tibetan Plateau (TP). A recent argument has suggested the WTV is the set of wind field anomalies resulting from variability in near-surface air temperatures over the western TP (above 1500 m), which, in turn, is likely driven by the surface net radiation. This study thereby evaluates the above putative thermal-direct mechanism. By conducting numerical sensitivity experiments using a global atmospheric circulation model, SAMIL, we find a WTV-like structure cannot be generated from a surface thermal forcing imposed on the western TP. A thermally-direct circulation generated by the surface or near surface heating is expect to cause upward motions and a baroclinic structure above it. In contrast, downward motions and a quasi-barotropic are observed in the vertical structure of the WTV. Besides, we find variability of the surface net radiation (sum of the surface shortwave and longwave net radiation) over the western TP can be traced back to the WTV variability based on ERA5 data. The anticyclonic (cyclonic) WTV reduces (increases) the cloudiness through the anomalous downward (upward) motions, causes more (less) input shortwave net radiation and thereby more (less) surface net radiations, resulting in the warmer (cooler) surface and near-surface air temperature over the western TP. The argument is constructive in encouraging examination of the radiative balance processes that complements previous studies.

Emerging Downdrift Erosion by Twin Long-Range Jetties on an Open Mesotidal Muddy Coast, China - Yu-Hai Wang; Yan-Hong Wang; An-Jun Deng; Hao-Chuan Feng; Dang-Wei Wang; Chuan-Sheng Guo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Downdrift shoreline recession associated with the construction of a shore-crossing hard structure represents one of coastal erosional hotspots that must be addressed for an integrated, sustainable coastal zone management. To prevent siltation within the navigation channel, two rubber-mounted jetties were installed at the Sheyang River mouth on the open mesotidal muddy coast in Jiangsu province, China, in October 2013. The north jetty is 7.9 km long, while the south jetty is 7.8 km long. The net longshore sediment transport is from the north to the south due to flood-tide dominance. As disclosed by high-resolution satellite images, a 36-km-long downdrift shoreline stretch had experienced remarkable retreats at alongshore varying rates by March 2019. The eroding shoreline planform does not resemble a classic “S” shape, a crescentic shape, or a parabolic shape but an irregularly indented curved shape. Transect topographic survey also reveals an almost immediate response of the downdrift coast from the original accretionary scenery to an erosional regime, with the erosion front translocating downcoast at a much faster speed than a normal speed of 1–1.5 km/yr. Using FVCOM and SWAN, 2DH process-based numerical simulations are performed to simulate the flow, the sediment transport, and the yearly-magnitude accretion/erosion distribution in the jetty-affected area by a representative tidal force and an annual-magnitude wave force. The results demonstrate that the reciprocal tidal flow is predominantly responsible for the muddy sediment accretions at downdrift intertidal and surf zones shallower than a 4.0-m isobath, whereas big wind waves play a decisive role in triggering and developing the downdrift erosional process. The predicted spatial extent of the downdrift erosional segment matches closely the actual eroding front. The loss of the net annual longshore sediment transport volume, i.e., 3.08 million m3 due to the blockage by the twin jetties is recovered from a much larger spatial extent than the 36-km-long retreating shoreline stretch. With regard to the Bruun model, the one-line model, the headland-bay model, and the 2DH numerical model, the potential maximum recession length and the planform shape of the downdrift erosional shoreline arc are further elaborated to gain new insights into the spatial and temporal impact of a hard structure on the adjacent shoreline and flat (beach).

Dissection of the practical soybean breeding pipeline by developing ZDX1, a high-throughput functional array - Rujian Sun; Bincheng Sun; Yu Tian; Shanshan Su; Yong Zhang; Wanhai Zhang; Jingshun Wang; Ping Yu; Bingfu Guo; Huihui Li; Yanfei Li; Huawei Gao; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message We developed the ZDX1 high-throughput functional soybean array for high accuracy evaluation and selection of both parents and progeny, which can greatly accelerate soybean breeding. Abstract Microarray technology facilitates rapid, accurate, and economical genotyping. Here, using resequencing data from 2214 representative soybean accessions, we developed the high-throughput functional array ZDX1, containing 158,959 SNPs, covering 90.92% of soybean genes and sites related to important traits. By application of the array, a total of 817 accessions were genotyped, including three subpopulations of candidate parental lines, parental lines and their progeny from practical breeding. The fixed SNPs were identified in progeny, indicating artificial selection during the breeding process. By identifying functional sites of target traits, novel soybean cyst nematode-resistant progeny and maturity-related novel sources were identified by allele combinations, demonstrating that functional sites provide an efficient method for the rapid screening of desirable traits or gene sources. Notably, we found that the breeding index (BI) was a good indicator for progeny selection. Superior progeny were derived from the combination of distantly related parents, with at least one parent having a higher BI. Furthermore, new combinations based on good performance were proposed for further breeding after excluding redundant and closely related parents. Genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) analysis was the best analysis method and achieved the highest accuracy in predicting four traits when comparing SNPs in genic regions rather than whole genomic or intergenic SNPs. The prediction accuracy was improved by 32.1% by using progeny to expand the training population. Collectively, a versatile assay demonstrated that the functional ZDX1 array provided efficient information for the design and optimization of a breeding pipeline for accelerated soybean breeding.

Dissecting the Neural Circuitry for Pain Modulation and Chronic Pain: Insights from Optogenetics - Fang Guo; Yu Du; Feng-Hui Qu; Shi-Da Lin; Zhong Chen; Shi-Hong Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage. The processing of pain involves complicated modulation at the levels of the periphery, spinal cord, and brain. The pathogenesis of chronic pain is still not fully understood, which makes the clinical treatment challenging. Optogenetics, which combines optical and genetic technologies, can precisely intervene in the activity of specific groups of neurons and elements of the related circuits. Taking advantage of optogenetics, researchers have achieved a body of new findings that shed light on the cellular and circuit mechanisms of pain transmission, pain modulation, and chronic pain both in the periphery and the central nervous system. In this review, we summarize recent findings in pain research using optogenetic approaches and discuss their significance in understanding the pathogenesis of chronic pain.

Expansion of bilin‐based red light sensors in the subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme - Hai‐Feng Xu; Guo‐Zheng Dai; Yu‐Jie Wang; Chao Cheng; Jin‐Long Shang; Ren‐Han Li; Ke Liu; Deqiang Duanmu; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Light is the crucial environmental signal for desiccation‐tolerant cyanobacteria to activate photosynthesis and prepare for desiccation at dawn. However, the photobiological characteristics of desert cyanobacteria adaptation to one of the harshest habitats on Earth remain unresolved. In this study, we surveyed the genome of a subaerial desert cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme and identified two phytochromes and seven cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) with one or more bilin‐binding GAF (cGMP phosphodiesterase/adenylyl cyclase/FhlA) domains. Biochemical and spectroscopic analyses of 69 purified GAF‐containing proteins from recombinant phycocyanobilin (PCB), biliverdin or phycoerythrobilin‐producing Escherichia coli indicated that nine of these proteins bind chromophores. Further investigation revealed that 11 GAFs form covalent adducts responsive to near‐UV and visible light: eight GAFs contained PCB chromophores, three GAFs contained biliverdin chromophores and one contained the PCB isomer, phycoviolobilin. Interestingly, COO91_03972 is the first‐ever reported GAF‐only CBCR capable of sensing five wavelengths of light. Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses revealed that residue P132 of COO91_03972 is essential for chromophore binding to dual‐cysteine CBCRs. Furthermore, the complement of N . flagelliforme CBCRs is enriched in red light sensors. We hypothesize that these sensors are critical for the acclimatization of N . flagelliforme to weak light environments at dawn.

Unexpected role of electron‐transfer hub in direct degradation of pollutants by exoelectrogenic bacteria - Ting‐Ting Zhu; Zhou‐Hua Cheng; Sheng‐Song Yu; Wen‐Wei Li; Dong‐Feng Liu; Han‐Qing Yu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Exoelectrogenic bacteria (EEB) are capable of anaerobic respiration with diverse extracellular electron acceptors including insoluble minerals, electrodes and flavins, but the detailed electron transfer pathways and reaction mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we discover that CymA, which is usually considered to solely serve as an inner‐membrane electron transfer hub in Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1 (a model EEB), might also function as a reductase for direct reducing diverse nitroaromatic compounds (e.g. 2,4‐dichloronitrobenzene) and azo dyes. Such a process can be accelerated by dosing anthraquinone‐2,6‐disulfonate. The CymA‐based reduction pathways in S . oneidensis MR‐1 for different contaminants could be functionally reconstructed and strengthened in Escherichia coli . The direct reduction of lowly polar contaminants by quinol oxidases like CymA homologues might be universal in diverse microbes. This work offers new insights into the pollutant reduction mechanisms of EEB and unveils a new function of CymA to act as a terminal reductase.

Magnesium Isotopes in Pore Water of Active Methane Seeps of the South China Sea - Meng Jin; Dong Feng; Kangjun Huang; Shanggui Gong; Min Luo; Jörn Peckmann; Xudong Wang; Yu Hu; Duofu Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The magnesium (Mg) isotopic composition of marine authigenic carbonates is considered as promising archive of ancient seawater geochemistry and paleoenvironments. Previous experimental and theoretical work has shown that Mg isotope fractionation during carbonate mineral formation is a function of mineralogy and precipitation rate. However, information on Mg isotope fractionation is limited for well-defined precipitation rates in natural settings. Here, we investigate pore waters from sediments of an area of active methane seepage in the South China Sea. Low δ 13 C values (< −48.3‰ VPDB) of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) near the sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ) indicate that sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SD-AOM) is the predominant biogeochemical process. Pore water composition of dissolved Mg, calcium (Ca), and strontium (Sr) agrees with aragonite as the dominant carbonate mineral at the site ROV1, and high Mg-calcite at sites ROV2 and ROV4. Calculated carbonate precipitation rates are 0.92 μmol cm −2 yr −1 for site ROV2 and 1.24 μmol cm −2 yr −1 for site ROV4; these estimates are similar to previous calculations for seeps from other areas. The pore water δ 26 Mg values (−0.88‰ to −0.71‰) obtained for the three study sites are similar to those of seawater, in accord with a minor effect of Rayleigh fractionation due to abundant supply of Mg from seawater and insignificant consumption of Mg during carbonate precipitation. The modeled Mg isotope fractionation (ϵ = −2.0‰ to −1.0‰ for core ROV2; ϵ = −1.3‰ to −0.3‰ for core ROV4) can be explained by kinetic isotope fractionation during carbonate precipitation. The calculated carbonate precipitation rates and the degree of fractionation of Mg isotopes support the notion that fractionation is small at high precipitation rates. However, the carbonate precipitation rates calculated for the studied seep environments are much smaller than those in laboratory experiments, documenting a discrepancy of isotopic fractionation between carbonate authigenesis in laboratory experiments and natural environments. These results, including the modeled precipitation rates, provide new constraints for Mg isotope fractionation in natural settings.

Change and attribution of pan evaporation throughout the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau during 1979–2017 using China meteorological forcing dataset - Tianci Yao; Hongwei Lu; Qing Yu; Wei Feng; Yuxuan Xue (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Pan evaporation ( E pan ) analysis in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) is important for improving the understanding of the climatic and environmental changes in the QTP and China. However, uneven station coverage, sparse and inconsistent observations hamper the in‐depth understanding of the spatiotemporal E pan patterns throughout the QTP over long time periods. Based on the PenPan model driven by the monthly gridded China meteorological forcing dataset, this study attempted to estimate monthly and annual grid pan evaporation ( E PenPan ) for the pan with a depth of 10 cm and a diameter of 20 cm at 0.1° resolution throughout the QTP and its surrounding areas during 1979–2017, then the spatiotemporal variations in E PenPan as well as the potential causative climatic variables were thoroughly examined. Results showed that the spatiotemporal patterns of E PenPan were in reasonably good agreement with the observations. The high values of mean annual E PenPan tended to distribute in the areas with water limitation or strong solar radiation like the southwest QTP. The wide decreases in annual E PenPan have reversed in the study area in around 1993, with some exceptions such as the continuous increase in the southwest QTP and monotonous decrease in the areas to the west and east of the Qaidam Basin. Comparatively, the trends in annual E PenPan in the QTP were less than the surrounding areas in the different periods, and overall accelerating annual E PenPan appeared in the both areas after 1993. With the Budyko curve, it was expected that drought severity would increase in the south of the surrounding areas in future, but the warming and wetting in the other areas would be kept. The wind speed ( WS ) was the primary contributor to decreasing annual E PenPan in the study area before 1993. Nevertheless, the most dominant factor for increasing E PenPan was vapour pressure deficit in the QTP and WS in the surrounding areas during 1994–2017.

Mitogenomic phylogeny resolves Cuneopsis (Bivalvia: Unionidae) as polyphyletic: The description of two new genera and a new species - Xiao‐Ping Wu; Yu‐Ting Dai; Nan Yin; Feng‐Yue Shu; Zhong‐Guang Chen; Liang Guo; Chun‐Hua Zhou; Shan Ouyang; Xiao‐Chen Huang (Zoologica Scripta, 2022)
Freshwater mussels are known to have two types of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transmitted separately through oocytes and sperms, namely, maternal (F‐type) and paternal (M‐type) mtDNA. The additional suite of mitochondrial genes provides a great opportunity to resolve phylogenetically problematic relationships. East Asian freshwater mussels of the genus Cuneopsis were considered a compact group of taxa having wedge‐shaped shells. However, preliminary results from previous studies challenged the monophyly of Cuneopsis , and the exact phylogenetic relationships among Cuneopsis and its allied genera are yet to be determined with comprehensive species sampling. Here, we evaluated species boundaries in Cuneopsis based on COI barcoding and obtained 11 new F‐ and M‐type mitogenomes via genome skimming to elucidate the evolutionary history of Cuneopsis . COI barcode data supported the validity of all sampled six Cuneopsis species (missing C. kiangsiensis ). Our mitochondrial phylogenomic analyses confirmed that the currently recognized genus Cuneopsis sensu lato was polyphyletic, recovering three well‐supported clades. Molecular dating analysis suggested Cuneopsis s.l . diversified at ~58.06 million years ago in the Paleogene. Hereby, we propose two new genera, that is, Arcuneopsis gen. nov. and Pseudocuneopsis gen. nov. Additionally, we report a new species, Pseudocuneopsis sichuanensis sp. nov., from Chengdu, Sichuan, China, and a newly recorded species from China, Cuneopsis demangei .

Local adaptation and migratory habits balance spatial‐genetic structure between continental and insular chestnut tiger butterflies in East Asia - Min‐Xin Luo; Hsin‐Pei Lu; Bing‐Hong Huang; Chia‐Lung Huang; Yu‐Feng Hsu; Pei‐Chun Liao (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Geographic and climatic differences between islands and continents may affect the evolution of their biota, and promote divergent selection in species distributed in both landscapes. To assess spatial‐genetic structure, we genotyped 18 expressed sequence tag‐simple sequence repeat (EST‐SSR) loci and sequenced two mtDNA markers ( ND5 and COI ) and one nuclear marker ( EF1α ) in two subspecies of the butterfly Parantica sita . Compared with nuclear markers, mtDNA had a stronger signal of population structure. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) suggested that a continuous‐gene‐flow model best described the data. According to this model, the two subspecies diverged approximately 23.1 kya, with 10 times more introgression from the continental (ssp. sita ) to the insular subspecies (ssp. niphonica ) than vice versa. Ecological niche modelling was performed to predict the paleo‐ and current potential distributions and elucidate the geohistorical process, which revealed a northeastern, insular origin. Winter precipitation and annual temperature range were the main determinants of the subspecies distributions. Maximum‐likelihood population‐effects models showed that the population differentiation of the insular and continental subspecies was primarily affected by environmental resistance and local climate. Sex‐biased migration capacity and long‐term precipitation‐driven divergence between the continental and insular lineages shaped the current genetic structure of P . sita . Evidence from the nuclear markers confirmed intersubspecific gene flow despite adaptive divergence between the subspecies. These results imply that the continental subspecies is still capable of returning to the island and introgressing with the insular subspecies.

Rapid visual detection of Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with lateral flow dipsticks - Zizhao Feng; Xin Chu; Minzhen Han; Chenwei Yu; Yousheng Jiang; Hao Wang; Liqun Lu; Dan Xu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) is an important freshwater‐cultured species in China. Recently, a lethal and epidemic disease caused by Micropterus salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) results in huge economic losses to the largemouth bass industry. Current diagnostics for detecting MSRV are limited in sensitivity and speed and are inconvenient to be used for non‐laboratory detection. In this study, three rapid and convenient detection assays of MSRV by recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and lateral flow dipsticks (LFD), targeting the conserved sequences of the MSRV‐SS N gene, are described. With these RPA methods, the detection could achieve within 50 min at 38°C. Both methods of RPA‐AGE and RPA‐LFD could detect the viral DNA as low as 170 copies/μl of the MSRV standard plasmid and were 100‐fold more sensitive than that in the method of routine PCR. Meanwhile, these RPA methods were highly specific for the detection of MSRV and can be feasibly applied to the diagnostic of MSRV infection. In brief, RPA‐AGE, RPA‐LFD and RT‐RPA‐LFD provide convenient, rapid, sensitive and reliable methods that could improve field diagnosis of MSRV with limited machine resources, and would enhance the production of largemouth bass.

Structure modification, antialgal, antiplasmodial, and toxic evaluations of a series of new marine-derived 14-membered resorcylic acid lactone derivatives - Wei-Feng Xu; Na-Na Wu; Yan-Wei Wu; Yue-Xuan Qi; Mei-Yan Wei; Laura M. Pineda; Michelle G. Ng; Carmenza Spadafora; Ji-Yong Zheng; Ling Lu; Chang-Yun Wang; Yu-Cheng Gu; et al. (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Marine natural products play critical roles in the chemical defense of many marine organisms and are essential, reputable sources of successful drug leads. Sixty-seven 14-membered resorcylic acid lactone derivatives 3 – 27 and 30 – 71 of the natural product zeaenol ( 1 ) isolated from the marine-derived fungus Cochliobolus lunatus were semisynthesized by chlorination, acylation, esterification, and acetalization in one to three steps. The structures of these new derivatives were established by HRESIMS and NMR techniques. All the compounds ( 1 – 71 ) were evaluated for their antialgal and antiplasmodial activities. Among them, 14 compounds displayed antifouling activities against adhesion of the fouling diatoms. In particular, 9 and 34 exhibited strong and selective inhibitory effects against the diatoms Navicula laevissima and Navicula exigua (EC 50 = 6.67 and 8.55 μmol/L), respectively, which were similar in efficacy to those of the positive control SeaNine 211 (EC 50 = 2.90 and 9.74 μmol/L). More importantly, 38 , 39 , and 69 – 71 showed potent antiplasmodial activities against Plasmodium falciparum with IC 50 values ranging from 3.54 to 9.72 μmol/L. Very interestingly, the five antiplasmodial derivatives displayed non-toxicity in the cytotoxicity assays and the zebrafish embryos model, thus, representing potential promising antiplasmodial drug agents. The preliminary structure–activity relationships indicated that biphenyl substituent at C-2, acetonide at positions C-5′ and C-6′, and tri- or tetra-substituted of acyl groups increased the antiplasmodial activity. Therefore, combining evaluation of chemical ecology with pharmacological models will be implemented as a systematic strategy, not only for environmentally friendly antifoulants but also for structurally novel drugs.

Aeromonas veronii virulence and adhesion attenuation mediated by the gene aodp - Lei Zhang; Shengnan Jin; Chao Feng; Haichao Song; Sayed Haidar Abbas Raza; Huabo Yu; Liang Zhang; Teng Chi; Yanling Qi; Dongxing Zhang; Aidong Qian; Ning Liu; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Aeromonas veronii ( A. veronii ) is an opportunistic pathogen of fish–human–livestock, which poses a threat to the development of aquaculture. Based on our previous studies on proteomics and genomics, we found out that the aodp gene may be related to the virulence of A. veronii TH0426. However, aodp gene encodes a hypothetical protein with an unknown function, and its role in A. veronii TH0426 is not clear. Here, we first constructed a mutant strain (△‐ aodp ) to investigate the functional role of aodp in A. veronii TH0426. Compared with the wild strain A. veronii TH0426, the growth rate of strain △‐ aodp was slower and was resistant to neomycin and kanamycin, but sensitive to cephalexin. The swimming and swarming ability of △‐ aodp strain decreased, and the pathogenicity to mice decreased by 15.84‐fold. Besides, the activity of caspase‐3 in EPCs infected with △‐ aodp strain was 1.49‐fold lower than that of the wild strain. We examined 20 factors closely related to A. veronii virulence, among them 17 genes were down‐regulated as a result of aodp deficiency. This study laid a foundation for further studies on the pathogenesis of A. veronii .

The Physical-Biogeochemical Responses to a Subsurface Anticyclonic Eddy in the Northwest Pacific - Ya-nan Ding; Fei Yu; Qiang Ren; Feng Nan; Ran Wang; Yansong Liu; Ying Tang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Due to the unique physical processes of mesoscale eddies, the physical and biogeochemical properties within the subsurface anticyclonic eddy (SSAE) and in the surrounding water are distinct. Analyses using satellite and model data have revealed distinct seasonal variations in the central potential density structure of a long-standing SSAE south of Japan; this SSAE exhibits a normal concave isopycnals structure from January to April and a convex lens isopycnals structure from May to December, and these variations may be related to the subduction of low-potential vorticity (PV) mode water. In contrast to the idea of the self-sustained oscillation mechanism, the strength of the SSAE was enhanced due to the eddy kinetic energy provided by dramatic increasing of the positive baroclinic conversion rate during the Kuroshio path transition period from the non-large meander (NLM) path to the large meander (LM) path. Twofold to threefold enhancement of chlorophyll (CHL) was detected in the subsurface CHL maximum layers at the core of the SSAE, and this enhancement was related to the injection of nutrients into the euphotic layer due to winter mixing and the convex of isopycnals. During the period from May to December, elevated CHL and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels and reduced nitrate levels were observed along the periphery of the eddy below the maximum subsurface CHL anomaly depth. The combined result of these two processes: (1) the central downward displaced isopycnals caused by intensified SSAE, and (2) winter mixing deepened to the nutricline due to the thickened mixed layer depth (MLD) and weakened stratification in winter 2017 (during the NLM period) may have led to numerous nutrients and CHL enrichments throughout the mixed layer, thus generating a CHL bloom in the following April. The SSAE intensified in winter 2018 (during the LM period), whereas the shallower MLD and stronger stratification limited the depth of CHL downward displacement.

Essential Role of Sptan1 in Cochlear Hair Cell Morphology and Function Via Focal Adhesion Signaling - Qingxiu Yao; Hui Wang; Hengchao Chen; Zhuangzhuang Li; Yumeng Jiang; Zhipeng Li; Jiping Wang; Yazhi Xing; Feng Liu; Dongzhen Yu; Shankai Yin (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Hearing loss is the most common human sensory deficit. Hearing relies on stereocilia, inserted into the cuticular plate of hair cells (HCs), where they play an important role in the perception of sound and its transmission. Although numerous genes have been associated with hearing loss, the function of many hair cell genes has yet to be elucidated. Herein, we focused on nonerythroid spectrin αII (SPTAN1), abundant in the cuticular plate, surrounding the rootlets of stereocilia and along the plasma membrane. Interestingly, mice with HC-specific Sptan1 knockout exhibited rapid deafness, abnormal formation of stereocilia and cuticular plates, and loss of HCs from middle and apical turns of the cochlea during early postnatal stages. Additionally, Sptan1 deficiency led to the decreased spreading of House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 cells, and induced abnormal formation of focal adhesions and integrin signaling in mouse HCs. Altogether, our findings highlight SPTAN1 as a critical molecule for HC stereocilia morphology and auditory function via regulation of focal adhesion signaling.

Effects of cascade reservoir systems on the longitudinal distribution of sediment characteristics: a case study of the Heihe River Basin - Yu Wang; Bao-long Li; Juan-juan Liu; Qi Feng; Wei Liu; Xu Wang; Yu-hua He (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Spatial variations in grain size parameters can reflect river sediment transport patterns and depositional dynamics. Therefore, 22 surficial sediment samples taken from the Heihe River and its cascade reservoirs were analyzed to better understand the impact of cascade reservoir construction on sediment transport patterns in inland rivers in China. The results showed that the longitudinal distribution of sediment grain size in the Heihe River was significantly affected by the influence of the cascade reservoirs. The retention rate in the cascade reservoir of the Heihe River reached 79% (193.53 Mt/year), which caused most of the fine sand to accumulate in the reservoir, and the sediment fining degree reached approximately 50%. However, the water discharged from the dam caused serious erosion of the riverbed and coarsening of the sediment, and the coarsening degree was approximately 500%. The backwater zone of the reservoir was influenced by both backwater and released water, and the coarsening degree of sediment was approximately 101%. Sedimentary environmental analysis revealed that the characteristics of the sediment grain size in an upstream tributary of the Heihe River were more influenced by source material than by hydrodynamic conditions, while the grain size characteristics of the mainstream sediments were controlled mainly by hydrodynamic conditions. The characteristics of sediment transport in different reaches of the Heihe River were studied, and the results may provide references for the operation of cascade reservoirs and the sediment control of reservoirs.
