A review of the genus Strophidon ( Anguilliformes: Muraenidae ), with description of a new species - Wen‐Chien Huang; Anil Mohapatra; Pham The Thu; Hong‐Ming Chen; Te‐Yu Liao (Journal of Fish Biology, 2020)
Strophidon McClelland is a muraenid genus with characteristic appearance of a very elongated body, a large mouth cleft and anteriorly placed eyes. The nomenclature and taxonomic history of species within Strophidon are contentious and its members are easily misidentified. In the present study, species of the genus Strophidon are revised based on morphological and molecular data, and five species are considered valid, including S. dawydoffi Prokofiev, S. dorsalis (Seale), S. sathete (Hamilton), S. ui Tanaka and a new species, S. tetraporus . Strophidon tetraporus sp. nov. is described based on 15 specimens from Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam with the unique characteristic of the constant presence of the fourth infraorbital pore among species of Strophidon . The intraspecific variation of vertebral formula within S. dorsalis is discussed based on molecular data. Muraena macrurus Bleeker and Thyrsoidea longissima Kaup are synonyms of S. sathete that can be distinguished from the most similar congener S. ui by a longer tail, smaller eyes and more inner maxillary and inner dentary teeth. A key to identify species of Strophidon is provided. The distribution and maximum size of each species are also re‐evaluated.

Cerebral Organoids Repair Ischemic Stroke Brain Injury - Shu-Na Wang; Zhi Wang; Tian-Ying Xu; Ming-He Cheng; Wen-Lin Li; Chao-Yu Miao (Translational Stroke Research, 2020)
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and main cause of disability worldwide, but with few effective therapies. Although stem cell-based therapy has been proposed as an exciting regenerative medicine strategy for brain injury, there are limitations. The developed cerebral organoids (COs) represent a promising transplantation source for stroke that remains to be answered. Here, we transplanted COs at 55 days and explored the feasibility in the rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of stroke. COs transplantation at 6 h or even 24 h after MCAO significantly reduces brain infarct volume and improves neurological motor function. Transplanted COs show the potential of multilineage differentiation to mimic in vivo cortical development, support motor cortex region-specific reconstruction, form neurotransmitter-related neurons, and achieve synaptic connection with host brain via in situ differentiation and cell replacement in stroke. Cells from transplanted COs show extensive migration into different brain regions along corpus callosum. The mechanisms underlying COs transplantation therapy are also associated with enhanced neurogenesis, synaptic reconstruction, axonal regeneration and angiogenesis, and decreased neural apoptosis with more survival neurons after stroke. Moreover, COs transplantation promotes predominantly exogenous neurogenesis in the transplantation periphery of ipsilateral cortex and predominantly endogenous neurogenesis in the hippocampus and subventricular zone. Together, we demonstrate the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of COs transplantation in stroke. This preliminary but promising study provides first-hand preclinical evidence for COs transplantation as a potential and effective intervention for stroke treatment.

Land-based sources are the key sources of plastic debris, and mismanaged plastic debris can eventually enter the ocean via marine beaches. In this study, the spatial distribution and amount of plastic debris in the land-based source input zone of First Long Beach (FLB), China, which is a major tourist attraction, were first investigated. By using field investigation, sand samples were collected from two sections on FLB adjacent to land-based sources in December 2019, and the plastic debris in the sand samples was quantified and characterized in the laboratory. The amount of plastic debris ranged from 2 to 82 particles/m2 on this marine sand beach. There was a significant difference in plastic debris amount between the transects along the land-based source input zone (p

Ecological risk assessment of species impacted by fisheries in waters off eastern Taiwan - Chih‐Yu Lin; Sheng‐Ping Wang; Wei‐Chuan Chiang; Shane Griffiths; Hsin‐Ming Yeh (Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2020)
An ecological risk assessment was undertaken using productivity‐susceptibility analysis (PSA) to determine the relative vulnerability of 52 species caught by fisheries in the waters off eastern Taiwan. Overall, eight and 20 species were classified as having high and moderate vulnerability, respectively, and the remaining 24 species were classified as having low vulnerability. The species with the highest vulnerability scores were caught mainly by longline and gillnet fisheries, highlighting the need for improved data collection to facilitate a more detailed investigation using more quantitative methods. The data quality analysis indicated that the quality of data was classified as “moderate” for economically important species. However, many species were considered data‐limited and thus collecting high‐resolution catch and effort information and conducting biological studies, especially relating to age, growth and reproduction, are recommended to improve the reliability of outputs from data‐limited assessments such as PSA.

Uncertainty of volume fraction in bimrock using the scan-line method and its application in the estimation of deformability parameters - Yu-Chen Lu; Yong-Ming Tien; Charng Hsein Juang; Jeen-Shang Lin (Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2020)
The volume fraction within a bimrock or bimsoil is an essential parameter that is useful for estimating the engineering properties of heterogeneous geomaterials. This paper presents analytical and numerical solutions to quantify the uncertainty of volume fraction measurements in bimrock/bimsoil using a scan-line method. The analytical solutions for the mean and variance of volume fraction estimates are based on a representative volume element model. The numerical solution is obtained through simulations of scan-line measurements. This work also employs physical tests using CT scan images from artificial bimrock/bimsoil to validate these solutions. The results demonstrate that the uncertainties of the volume fraction depend on the magnitude of the volume fraction of the blocks, the diameter of the blocks, and the length of the scan line. The proposed analytical and numerical solutions are compared with existing physical experimental tests and analytical solutions. An illustrative example to demonstrate the estimation of the uncertainty of volume fraction using the scan-line measurement is present. Finally, an example application of the volume fraction characterization in the geological engineering, in terms of Young’s modulus estimation and characterization, is provided.

Application of Spirulina in aquaculture: a review on wastewater treatment and fish growth - Feng Zhang; Yu Bon Man; Wing Yin Mo; Ming Hung Wong (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
There is an urgent need to find alternatives to fish meal and fish oil in compound feeds due to their rapidly rising prices and the demand for sustainable fisheries. Spirulina, a filamentous blue‐green microalga, is an excellent source of plant protein and could replace expensive animal‐derived proteins in fish feed. Studies have evaluated the use of spirulina as a fish meal for different fish species. This paper reviews research on the effects of spirulina on the growth performance of various fish species. It is apparent that spirulina can be a highly important component of the diet of fish; it has a number of benefits, such as promoting the growth of tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) and carp ( Labeo rohita ), improving the reproductive performance of yellow tail cichlid ( Pseudotropheus acei ) and enhancing the immune response of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ). Recent studies have shown that spirulina can be used for treating wastewater, including effluent from fish culture activities, as it can efficiently metabolize the nutrients and remove the heavy metals contained in aquaculture effluent. Fish aquaculture could apply an integrated strategy of simultaneously treating aquaculture effluent while producing spirulina biomass to supplement fish diets.

Association of leaf silicon content with chronic wind exposure across and within herbaceous plant species - Yao‐Bin Song; Yu‐Kun Hu; Xu Pan; Guo‐Fang Liu; Wei Xiong; Ming Dong; Johannes H. C. Cornelissen (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim High foliar silicon (henceforth Si) concentration protects plant tissues against herbivory, but protection against several abiotic stressors has also been proposed, although the adaptive significance of these functions is still being debated. We aimed to explore the potential relationships between foliar Si content and chronic wind exposure across a large scale and multiple species and to analyse an overlooked alternative or complementary function of silicon in leaves: mechanical protection against wind. Location Mainland China. Time period From July to September during 2012–2014. Major taxa studied Two hundred and eighty‐two vascular plant species in predominantly herbaceous communities. Methods We compiled a dataset for leaf silicon concentration ([Si]) across 27 sites and 153 herbaceous plots within the major climate zones of China. We hypothesized that evolutionary lineages that generally have high [Si] should show positive relationships between leaf [Si] and mean annual wind speed. Results Within major families with generally high [Si] (especially grasses, sedges and composites), leaf [Si] exhibits a consistently positive correlation with mean wind speed among species across China. For the seven widespread monocot species with high leaf [Si], including the globally distributed common reed ( Phragmites australis ), intraspecific variation in leaf [Si] exhibits the same consistent positive correlation with mean wind speed. Main conclusions Our findings suggest that high leaf [Si] is likely to have widespread adaptive value for wind exposure of leaves, at least in several very widespread families and species of herbaceous plants. Damage from wind is a danger for plants in many ecosystems, hence these findings are of global significance and indicate that further research into large‐scale variation of leaf Si and mechanical traits in relationship to wind exposure is likely to be illuminating.

Construction of an SNP-based high-density genetic map for Japanese plum in a Chinese population using specific length fragment sequencing - Qiu-ping Zhang; Xiao Wei; Ning Liu; Yu-ping Zhang; Ming Xu; Yu-jun Zhang; Xiao-xue Ma; Wei-sheng Liu (Tree Genetics & Genomes, 2020)
The Japanese plum ( Prunus salicina Lindl.) is one of the most important stone fruit crops in China. High-density linkage map is valuable resources which enhance functional genomics and genetic breeding studies. So far several Japanese plum linkage maps have been reported using different kinds of molecular markers; however, the marker numbers and chromosome coverage are limited. Recently, a newly developed strategy which genome sequencing towards specific-locus amplified fragments (SLAF) markers, has been proven to be powerful for rapid genotyping of genome-wide markers and for high-density genetic map construction. In this study, SLAF was used to genotype markers with 114 F1 seedlings from the ‘09–16’ × ‘Fortune’ cross. Suitable SLAF markers (160,344 out of 343,436,902 pair-end reads) were chosen to conduct genetic map construction, 16.31% of which were polymorphic. The overall integrated map contained 3,341 high quality SLAFs and 720 loci that were grouped in eight genetic linkage groups with a total length of 869.9 cM and an average distance of 1.21 cM, and only five gaps with a genetic distance > 5 cM between adjacent markers occurred in linkage group (LG) 3 and LG6. The number of markers with each LG ranged from 82.3 cM (LG3) to 138.3 cM (LG1). Aligning the map against the peach reference genome sequence (Prunus persica L.) indicated a strictly co-linear relationship between the LGs and peach genome, demonstrating the markers on ours LGs were well ordered. Overall, our studies identified large-scale of genetic markers and constructed high-density linkage maps for Japanese plum, which will obviously provide a solid foundation for marker-assisted selection and sequence assembly of the Japanese plum reference genome.

Climatological features of blocking highs from the perspective of air mass and mass transport - Yafei Li; Rongcai Ren; Ming Cai; Yueyue Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
We investigated the spatiotemporal features of the air mass and its transport during the lifetime of the four main blocking highs (the Greenland, Atlantic–Europe, Ural and North Pacific blocking highs) observed in the northern winter using the daily European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Re‐Analysis Interim data set for the time period 1979–2016. The results showed that the positive mass anomalies corresponding to a blocking high only appear in the mid‐troposphere, while negative mass anomalies persist in the lower layer during blocking events. Budget analysis based on the mass continuity equation under isentropic coordinates indicated that adiabatic mass transport is the main contributor to the build‐up of blocking highs and is always convergent in the mid‐troposphere before the peak day of blocking. By contrast, diabatic mass transport always moves the air mass from the mid‐ to lower troposphere and acts to destroy the blocking high. The meridional flow makes the strongest contribution to mass convergence in the Greenland and North Pacific blocking highs in the mid‐troposphere, whereas zonal flow is the main contributor to mass convergence in the Atlantic–Europe blocking high. Both zonal and meridional flows contribute to mass convergence in the Ural blocking high, although meridional flow makes a greater contribution.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

The application of the ‘Gene-deletor’ technology in banana - Chun-hua Hu; Qiao-song Yang; Xiu-hong Shao; Tao Dong; Fang-cheng Bi; Chun-yu Li; Gui-ming Deng; Yi Li; Gan-jun Yi; Tong-xin Dou (Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2020)
Banana ( Musa spp.) is an important tropical crop. Banana industry is under biotic and abiotic stresses such as Fusarium wilt, typhoon, cold stress. Genetic engineering offers a powerful strategy to create germplasm of banana with enhanced resistance. The safety of genetically modified organisms has become a bottleneck restricting the popularization and application of genetically modified technology. In this study, a candidate promoter, LEAFY (LFY) for expression and flower initiation in Arabidopsis , was cloned and constructed to ‘Gene-deletor’ vector. Histochemical β-glucuronidase (GUS) staining results showed that the ‘Gene-deletor’ vector driven by LFY promoter could lead to 88.5% excision efficiency from Arabidopsis seeds based on more than 200 T 3 progeny examined per event. GUS staining was found to be partially negative in transgenic bananas, however, polymerase chain reaction could still detect the presence of large fragments of the vector. These results suggest that although LFY promoter could not completely drive the ‘Gene-deletor’ vector to achieve the effect of complete elimination of exogenous gene in bananas, its efficiency of eliminating exogenous gene laid a theoretical foundation for cloning banana fruit-specific promoters, that is, ‘non-transgenic’ GM bananas.

Water and heat availability are drivers of the aboveground plant carbon accumulation rate in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau - Jian Sun; Tian‐Cai Zhou; Miao Liu; You‐Chao Chen; Guo‐Hua Liu; Ming Xu; Pei‐Li Shi; Fei Peng; Atsushi Tsunekawa; Yu Liu; Xiao‐Dan Wang; Shi‐Kui Dong; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Climate change is expected to have important effects on plant phenology and carbon storage, with further shifts predicted in the future. Therefore, we proposed the community carbon accumulation rate (CAR) from the start of the growing season (SOS) to the peak of the growing season (POS) to fill the gap that the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon research. Location Tibetan Plateau. Major taxa Alpine grassland plants. Time period 2015. Methods We conducted a transect survey across grasslands to measure community aboveground net primary production and carbon concentration. Additionally, phenology indicator data (SOS and POS) were extracted from the Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) normalized difference vegetation index version 3 database. Next, we used ‘ changepoint ’ analysis to detect the patterns of CARs, and performed linear regression and one‐way ANOVA to explore the variability of CARs in response to the environmental factors. Ultimately, the total effects of environmental factors on CARs were illustrated by a structural equation model. Results Our results indicated that three CAR patterns were detected, which are low‐CAR (0.15 g/m 2 /day), medium‐CAR (0.31 g/m 2 /day) and high‐CAR (0.84 g/m 2 /day) patterns. We found that the availabilities of water and heat mediated CARs by regulating soil nutrition variability, and that drought climate and insufficient soil resources co‐constrained the community CAR at long time‐scales. In contrast, high CAR could be explained by more water and heat availability via either direct or indirect effects on soil moisture and soil nutrients. Main conclusions Our findings highlight that water and heat availability are critical driving factors in ecological carbon accumulation processes undergoing climate change. Meanwhile, the vegetative phenology also has important effect on carbon accumulation. Consequently, we propose incorporating the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon into the ecological carbon cycle model to improve our understanding of resource utilization and survival strategies of plants under environmental change.

Reperfusion therapy is currently the gold standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke. However, reperfusion injuries such as oedema and haemorrhagic transformation largely limit the use of this potent treatment to a narrow time window. Recently, transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) channel has emerged as a potential target for vascular protection in stroke management. Non-specificity and side effects are major concerns for current TRPM4 blockers. The present study was undertaken to develop a novel TRPM4 blocker for stroke management. We report the generation of a TRPM4-specific antibody M4P which binds to a region close to the channel pore. M4P could inhibit TRPM4 current and downregulate TRPM4 surface expression, therefore prevent hypoxia-induced cell swelling. In the rat model of 3-h stroke reperfusion, application of M4P at 2 h after occlusion ameliorated reperfusion injury by improving blood–brain barrier integrity, and enhanced functional recovery. Our results demonstrate that TRPM4 blockade could attenuate reperfusion injury in stroke recanalization. When applied together with reperfusion treatments, TRPM4 blocking antibody has the potential to extend the therapeutic time window for acute ischemic stroke.

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 .

Aerosol radiative effects from observations and modelling over the Yangtze River Basin, China from 2001 to 2015 - Lan Yu; Ming Zhang; Lunche Wang; Wenmin Qin; Junli Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
In this study, a quantitative assessment of clear‐sky aerosol direct radiative effects (ADREs) at the surface over the Yangtze River Basin (YRB), China was conducted based on Mesoscale Atmospheric Global Irradiance Code (MAGIC) radiation code (direct method) and ground‐based measurements (indirect method). For the direct method, The ADRE at the surface was calculated using MAGIC radiation code with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and interim ECMWF Re‐Analysis (ERA‐INTERIM) integrated water vapour as input. Results showed that the multi‐year average ADRE ranged from −39.29 to −1.95 W/m 2 with mean values of −18.19 ± 1.44 W/m 2 . High ADRE (larger than −34 W/m 2 ) occurred in Sichuan Basin, Central Hubei Province and Yangtze River Delta. The seasonal ADRE was high in spring (−23.05 ± 13.48 W/m 2 ) and low in winter (−14.24 ± 8.51 W/m 2 ). Generally, an increasing trend (0.27 W/m 2 per year) of ADRE was found from 2001 to 2010 and a decreasing trend (−0.72 W/m 2 per year) from 2011 to 2015. The water vapour radiative effect (WVRE) was calculated using MAGIC radiation code and the multi‐year average value was −52.59 ± 1.45 W/m 2 , which indicated the attenuation of clear‐sky radiation in YRB due to water vapour was stronger than the aerosols. However, the trends of water vapour effects were 0.03 W/m 2 per year during 2001–2010 and −0.37 W/m 2 per year during 2011–2015, which were much smaller than the trends of ADRE. For the indirect method, the clear‐sky ADRE at sites was calculated using the solar radiation observations. The variations of annual average ADRE obtained by above methods gave good match. An obvious increasing trend (−0.71 W/m 2 per year) of aerosol radiative cooling effect was found in Central Hubei Province from 2001 to 2010 and an obvious decreasing trend (3.23 W/m 2 per year) in Sichuan Basin from 2011 to 2015. The determination coefficient ( R 2 ) between ADRE trends and clear‐sky solar radiation trends is 0.874, indicating that the trends of clear‐sky solar radiation were mainly determined by the trends of ADRE.

Evolutionarily conserved vasa identifies embryonic and gonadal germ cells in spinyhead croaker Collichthys lucidus - Yu Li; Wei Song; Yei Fei Zhu; Tian Yu Zhu; Ling Bo Ma; Ming You Li (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019)
In this study, a 2198 bp full‐length cDNA of spinyhead croaker Collichthys lucidus vasa gene encoding 616 amino‐acid residues was obtained. Multiple alignment revealed that C. lucidus vasa has eight conserved characteristic motifs of the DEAD box protein family and has the highest identity to large yellow croaker Larimichthys croceas . Reverse‐transcription (RT)‐PCR and Western blot analyses indicated that the vasa messenger (m)RNA and Vasa protein are specifically expressed in the gonads in both sexes. In situ hybridisation (ISH) demonstrated that vasa RNA is exclusively detected in the germ cells in C. lucidus gonads and its temporospatial expression reveals a dynamic pattern during oogenesis. Surprisingly, C. lucidus vasa 3’UTR can direct stable and specific GFP expression in the primordial germ cells (PGC) of medaka Oryzias latipes embryos. Taken together, these results suggest that because C. lucidus vasa expression delineates critical stages of oogenesis, it may be a useful molecular marker for the identification of gonadal germ cells, facilitating the isolation and utilization of germ cells in future study.
