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

QTL controlling fiber quality traits under salt stress in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) - An-hui Guo; Ying Su; Yi Huang; Yu-mei Wang; Hu-shuai Nie; Nan Zhao; Jin-ping Hua (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message QTL for fiber quality traits under salt stress discerned candidate genes controlling fatty acid metabolism. Abstract Salinity stress seriously affects plant growth and limits agricultural productivity of crop plants. To dissect the genetic basis of response to salinity stress, a recombinant inbred line population was developed to compare fiber quality in upland cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) under salt stress and normal conditions. Based on three datasets of (1) salt stress, (2) normal growth, and (3) the difference value between salt stress and normal conditions, 51, 70, and 53 QTL were mapped, respectively. Three QTL for fiber length (FL) ( qFL-Chr1-1, qFL-Chr5-5, and qFL-Chr24-4) were detected under both salt and normal conditions and explained 4.26%, 9.38%, and 3.87% of average phenotypic variation, respectively. Seven genes within intervals of two stable QTL ( qFL-Chr1-1 and qFL-Chr5-5 ) were highly expressed in lines with extreme long fiber. A total of 35 QTL clusters comprised of 107 QTL were located on 18 chromosomes and exhibited pleiotropic effects. Thereinto, two clusters were responsible for improving five fiber quality traits, and 6 influenced FL and fiber strength (FS). The QTL with positive effect for fiber length exhibited active effects on fatty acid synthesis and elongation, but the ones with negative effect played passive roles on fatty acid degradation under salt stress.

Paeoniflorin ameliorates ulcerative colitis by modulating the dendritic cell-mediated TH17/Treg balance - Kai Zheng; Jia Jia; Shihai Yan; Hong Shen; Ping Zhu; Jiangyi Yu (Inflammopharmacology, 2020)
Immunological tolerance is critical for maintaining gut homeostasis. An imbalance between interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing T helper 17 (T H 17) cells and regulatory T cells (T reg cells) is involved in ulcerative colitis (UC) pathogenesis. Dendritic cells (DCs) are able to induce T cell differentiation. Paeoniflorin (PF) is a monoterpene glucoside that is commonly used for treatment of autoimmune disease. However, the immunological mechanism of PF involvement in UC treatment is unclear. The present study aimed to explore whether PF can restore the T H 17/T reg balance by modulating DCs. The effects of PF on DCs, T H 17 cells and T reg cells were measured. Furthermore, PF-treated DCs were injected into mice with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. PF inhibited MHC-II and CD86 expression on the DC surface ( P < 0.05), decreased interleukin (IL)-12 secretion in vitro and in vivo ( P < 0.05), and restored the T H 17/T reg ratio in the mouse model of colitis ( P < 0.05). PF-treated DCs diminished T H 17 differentiation (4.26% in vitro and 1.64% in vivo) and decreased IL-17 expression ( P < 0.05) while inducing CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + T reg differentiation (7.82% in vitro and 6.85% in vivo) and increasing Foxp3 and IL-10 production ( P < 0.05). Additionally, both PF and PF-treated DCs improved colonic histopathology in the mouse model of colitis ( P < 0.05). In conclusion this study suggested that PF can ameliorate TNBS-induced colitis by modulating the DC-mediated T H 17/T reg balance.

Development and current state of seawater shrimp farming, with an emphasis on integrated multi‐trophic pond aquaculture farms, in China – a review - Zhi‐Qiang Chang; Amir Neori; Yu‐Ying He; Ji‐Tao Li; Ling Qiao; Steven Ian Preston; Ping Liu; Jian Li (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
Shrimp farming has been the fastest‐growing sector in seawater aquaculture and has contributed to improving the farmers income and the utilization efficiency of aquaculture resources in China. The shrimp industry has deployed ever‐improved and innovated methods, from extensive farming to semi‐intensive and intensive farming. Various high‐density intensive culture models, such as high‐land, greenhouse and indoor industrialized culture models, have been used for shrimp pond farming in the coastal area. However, efficiency, environmental and social considerations have led to an increasing adoption of the environmentally‐friendly culture model called integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA). This has occurred most rapidly along the northern and central coasts of China. The deployed IMTA culture models reviewed here are shrimp + crab, shrimp + fish, shrimp + sea cucumber, shrimp + jellyfish + clam, shrimp + crab + clam, shrimp + crab + clam + fish and the ridgetail white shrimp polyculture in saline alkaline water, which have been tailored to local conditions and organisms' characteristics. Suitable organism varieties and the maintenance of suitable eco‐friendly water quality have been key to success. The eco‐friendly IMTA culture models described here fully exploit the pond culture resources, to increase production with minimal additional feed and labor inputs, while reducing effluent emissions and treatment cost. The performance of shrimp IMTA models is compared to shrimp monoculture models regarding the economics. An equally important outcome of this publication is making generally accessible the findings from a vast Chinese scientific literature on shrimp culture that has hitherto been unavailable in English.

The response of soil respiration to precipitation change is asymmetric and differs between grasslands and forests - Yue Du; Ying‐Ping Wang; Fanglong Su; Jun Jiang; Chen Wang; Mengxiao Yu; Junhua Yan (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Intensification of the Earth's hydrological cycle amplifies the interannual variability of precipitation, which will significantly impact the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, it is still unknown whether previously observed relationship between soil respiration ( R s ) and precipitation remains applicable under extreme precipitation change. By analyzing the observations from a much larger dataset of field experiments (248 published papers including 151 grassland studies and 97 forest studies) across a wider range of precipitation manipulation than previous studies, we found that the relationship of R s response with precipitation change was highly nonlinear or asymmetric, and differed significantly between grasslands and forests, between moderate and extreme precipitation changes. Response of R s to precipitation change was negatively asymmetric (concave‐down) in grasslands, and double‐asymmetric in forests with a positive asymmetry (concave‐up) under moderate precipitation changes and a negative asymmetry (concave‐down) under extreme precipitation changes. In grasslands, the negative asymmetry in R s response was attributed to the higher sensitivities of soil moisture, microbial and root activities to decreased precipitation (DPPT) than to increased precipitation (IPPT). In forests, the positive asymmetry was predominantly driven by the significant increase in microbial respiration under moderate IPPT, while the negative asymmetry was caused by the reductions in root biomass and respiration under extreme DPPT. The different asymmetric responses of R s between grasslands and forests will greatly improve our ability to forecast the C cycle consequences of increased precipitation variability. Specifically, the negative asymmetry of R s response under extreme precipitation change suggests that the soil C efflux will decrease across grasslands and forests under future precipitation regime with more wet and dry extremes.

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.

Lithic raw material economy at the Huayang site in Northeast China: localization and diversification as adaptive strategies in the Late Glacial - Jian-Ping Yue; You-Qian Li; Yu-Xiu Zhang; Shi-Xia Yang (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2020)
The study of lithic raw material plays an important role in developing archeologists’ understanding of the different adaptive strategies and behaviors of prehistoric people. In this paper, we present new evidence from the Huayang site that reveals lithic raw material procurement and exploitation strategies dating to around 14 ka cal. BP. The Huayang site is located in the southern portion of the Lesser Khingan Mountains in Northeast China, a key region for examining migration, diffusion, and interaction among hunter-gatherers in East and Northeast Asia. Our results indicate that diversified lithic raw materials were found and procured from local riverbeds and reduced at the site. Each raw material was reduced with distinctive knapping strategies and, as a result, there is a strong discrete spatial pattern for each of the different raw material types. Intra- and inter-site comparative analyses suggest a uniform trend towards localization and diversification of lithic raw materials in the southern Lesser Khingan Mountains, Northeast China during the Late Glacial, which seems to be associated with the paleoclimatic amelioration and the demographic expansion during this period.

Predicting postmortem interval based on microbial community sequences and machine learning algorithms - Ruina Liu; Yuexi Gu; Mingwang Shen; Huan Li; Kai Zhang; Qi Wang; Xin Wei; Haohui Zhang; Di Wu; Kai Yu; Wumin Cai; Gongji Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Microbes play an essential role in the decomposition process but were poorly understood in their succession and behaviour. Previous researches have shown that microbes show predictable behaviour that starts at death and changes during the decomposition process. Research of such behaviour enhances the understanding of decomposition and benefits estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) in forensic investigations, which is critical but faces multiple challenges. In this study, we combined microbial community characterization, microbiome sequencing from different organs (i.e. brain, heart and cecum) and machine learning algorithms [random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN)] to investigate microbial succession pattern during corpse decomposition and estimate PMI in a mouse corpse system. Microbial communities exhibited significant differences between the death point and advanced decay stages. Enterococcus faecalis , Anaerosalibacter bizertensis , Lactobacillus reuteri , and so forth were identified as the most informative species in the decomposition process. Furthermore, the ANN model combined with the postmortem microbial data set from the cecum, which was the best combination among all candidates, yielded a mean absolute error of 1.5 ± 0.8 h within 24‐h decomposition and 14.5 ± 4.4 h within 15‐day decomposition. This integrated model can serve as a reliable and accurate technology in PMI estimation.

Sensitivities of Bottom Stress Estimation to Sediment Stratification in a Tidal Coastal Bottom Boundary Layer - Yun Peng; Qian Yu; Yunwei Wang; Qingguang Zhu; Ya Ping Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The bottom friction velocity (U*), which controls seabed erosion and deposition, plays a critical role in sediment transport in tidal coastal bottom boundary layers. Approaches have been proposed to calculate U*, including the log profile (LP) estimation, the direct covariance (COV) measurement, and the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) method. However, the LP method assumes homogeneous flow and the effects of stratification need to be taken into account. Here, field investigations of hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics were carried out on the Jiangsu Coast, China. Two acoustic Doppler velocimeters (ADV) velocity measurements at 0.2 and 1 m above the seabed have been used to estimate U*, based on the aforementioned three methods. The COV and TKE methods provided reasonable estimations of U*, while a pronounced overestimation was identified when using the LP method. This overestimation can be attributed to the stratification effects associated with the vertical suspended sediment concentration (SSC) gradient near the bottom. Then, three models were utilized to correct the overestimation, in which the gradient/flux Richardson number was modified with empirical constants α, β, and A to parameterize the stratification effects in the logarithmic velocity distribution. The values of α, β, and A derived from the observation are smaller than the results from previous investigations. These modified logarithmic velocity distribution models can be applied in numerical simulations when sediment stratification is important.

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.

Pure bacterial cultures were isolated from different tissues of moribund Megalobrama terminalis from a high mortality event that occurred at a farm in Foshan, China. Two isolates (F2 and F3) were identified as Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae based on morphological and biochemical detection as well as molecular analysis. In brain heart infusion broth, the best growth conditions of isolate F3 were 35ºC, salinity 5‰ and pH 7. Furthermore, infection with isolate F3 (1.2 × 10 6 CFU/fish) led to the death of M. terminalis and zebrafish ( Danio rerio ). However, isolate F3 had no obvious pathogenicity to tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus ). When the water temperature was 29ºC, the corresponding mortality rates for zebrafish infected by isolate F3 were higher than those at 23ºC. Culture for 24 and 72 hr with isolate F3 resulted in the same mortality rates for zebrafish. The antimicrobial susceptibility assay revealed that isolate F3 was susceptible to ampicillin, florfenicol and several other antibiotics but resistant to nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, neomycin and amikacin. To our knowledge, this is the first report that S. dysgalactiae infected the subtropical freshwater fish M. terminalis , which indicates that this bacterium is a potential threat to subtropical freshwater fish.

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.

Finger Tapping Task Activation vs. TMS Hotspot: Different Locations and Networks - Jue Wang; Hai-Jiang Meng; Gong-Jun Ji; Ying Jing; Hong-Xiao Wang; Xin-Ping Deng; Zi-Jian Feng; Na Zhao; Yu-Feng Zang; Jian Zhang (Brain Topography, 2020)
Both functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have been used to non-invasively localize the human motor functional area. These locations can be clinically used as stimulation target of TMS treatment. However, it has been reported that the finger tapping fMRI activation and TMS hotspot were not well-overlapped. The aim of the current study was to measure the distance between the finger tapping fMRI activation and the TMS hotspot, and more importantly, to compare the network difference by using resting-state fMRI. Thirty healthy participants underwent resting-state fMRI, task fMRI, and then TMS hotspot localization. We found significant difference of locations between finger tapping fMRI activation and TMS hotspot. Specifically, the finger tapping fMRI activation was more lateral than the TMS hotspot in the premotor area. The fMRI activation peak and TMS hotspot were taken as seeds for resting-state functional connectivity analyses. Compared with TMS hotspot, finger tapping fMRI activation peak showed more intensive functional connectivity with, e.g., the bilateral premotor, insula, putamen, and right globus pallidus. The findings more intensive networks of finger tapping activation than TMS hotspot suggest that TMS treatment targeting on the fMRI activation area might result in more remote effects and would be more helpful for TMS treatment on movement disorders.

TRPM4-specific blocking antibody attenuates reperfusion injury in a rat model of stroke - Bo Chen; Yahui Gao; Shunhui Wei; See Wee Low; Gandi Ng; Dejie Yu; Tian Ming Tu; Tuck Wah Soong; Bernd Nilius; Ping Liao (Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2019)
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.

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

The distribution of plants and seed dispersers in response to habitat fragmentation in an artificial island archipelago - Jiajia Liu; Ferry Slik; David A. Coomes; Richard T. Corlett; Yanping Wang; Maxwell Wilson; Guang Hu; Ping Ding; Mingjian Yu (Journal of Biogeography, 2019)
Aim Small, old‐growth forest fragments generally have more small‐seeded plants than large patches, due to the disappearance of large seed dispersing vertebrates. This pattern may differ for secondary forest fragments where differential migration ability rather than persistence of seed dispersers may be driving plant community assembly. In this study, we investigated the effect of habitat fragmentation on seed dispersers and plant community structure in regenerating forests. Location The Thousand Island Lake, China. Taxon Plants, birds and mammals. Methods We compiled diversity and abundance data for birds and mammals on islands in the Thousand Island Lake, China. We also surveyed the secondary plant communities and measured seed dispersal traits. Results Community‐weighted mean seed size of woody plants decreased with island size. This pattern was related to compositional difference of the dispersers. We found that mammal diversity and abundance was only weakly or not related to island size; whereas bird diversity and abundance increased strongly with island size. Density of bird‐dispersed plants was significantly positively related with island size. Since birds tend to disperse smaller seeds than mammals, the trend in seed size may have been a consequence of the shift in relative abundance of the two disperser guilds. Main Conclusions Differential responses of seed dispersers to habitat fragmentation may lead to pervasive shifts in the plant community structure of regenerating forest fragments. Our study highlights the importance of keeping large continuous forests in order to retain mammals and their dispersal capabilities.
