    Abstract Superoxide dismutase (SOD) protects plants from abiotic stress-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage. Here, the effects of cadmium (Cd) exposure on ROS accumulation and SOD isozymes, as well as the identification of significant SOD isozyme genes, were investigated under different Cd stress treatments to Zhe-Maidong (

    Abstract Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. (Zhe Beimu, F. thunbergii) is widely cultivated in China's Zhejiang province, and pesticides and heavy metals are two major factors affecting its quality and safety. A total of 106 F. thunbergii samples from six main production areas were analyzed for 76 pesticides and four heavy metal content (As, Cd, Hg, and Pb). The pesticide detection rate of the samples was 66.98%; overall, the pesticide residues were very low, and residue levels ranged from 0.010 to 0.231 mg kg

A total of 106 F. thunbergii samples from six main production areas were analyzed for 76 pesticides and four heavy metal content (As, Cd, Hg, and Pb). The pesticide detection rate of the samples was 66.98%; overall, the pesticide residues were very low, and residue levels ranged from 0.010 to 0.231 mg kg⁻¹. The detection rates of As, Cd, Hg, and Pb were 95.3%, 100%, 76.4%, and 100%, respectively. A risk assessment of human exposure to pesticides and heavy metals via intake of F. thunbergii was performed, and the results revealed that the pesticide residues and heavy metal content detected in F. thunbergii does not pose a potential risk to human health, either in the long or short term. The exposure assessment showed that the levels of pesticides and heavy metals in F. thunbergii were safe for human consumption. These results provide useful information on F. thunbergii consumption.

    Abstract One interesting question in the study of marine microbial ecology is how ocean currents affect the geographic distributions of microorganisms. The Zhe-Min Coastal Current (ZMCC) is strong in winter and could influence the plankton communities in Hong Kong coastal waters by bringing species from far north. In this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of microbial eukaryotic communities (MEC) in the ZMCC and evaluated the relative contribution of environmental and spatial factors on the variations of MEC. The results showed that diverse taxa of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) and Dinophyceae (Dinoflagellata) dominated the sequences in all samples. MEC compositions in the Hong Kong coastal waters were closer to the communities in the ZMCC than other adjacent areas. Abundant and rare taxa exhibited a similar geographic pattern of distribution. Environmental factors alone explained 14.1% and 27.6% of the variations in the entire and abundant communities, respectively, which were higher than pure spatial factors (8.3% and 19.5%, respectively). The lower importance of spatial factors (dispersal limitation) might be explained by the passive dispersal favored by current transportation and was further supported by the high immigration rate computed in the neutral community model (NCM). High fitness to the NCM (R2 = 0.74) indicated the predominant role of neutral process in shaping the MEC. The large proportion of unexplained variations in rare taxa suggested the importance of other potential factors, especially biotic interactions. Our study demonstrates the influences of coastal current on local and regional structures of MEC.

    Abstract The temporal variation of sedimentary organic matters (SOM) in the East China Sea (ECS) is not fully assessed due to the complicated natural and anthropogenic processes. In this study, the compositions and distributions of multi-biomarker indicators (n-alkanes, n-alkanols and specific sterols) in a long sediment core collected from the Min-Zhe fined-grained sediment zone of the ECS were systematically studied to reveal variations of SOM sources and phytoplankton records over the last decades. The results of n-alkanes and sterols have demonstrated that terrestrial plants are the dominant SOM source, with the mean proportion of 67%. The temporal variation of terrestrial to marine biomarker ratios (TMBR) agree well with that of the dominant n-alkanes and terrigenous/aquatic ratios (TAR), suggesting that the multi-biomarker indicators yield a better assessment of the SOM source input. The regular variations of terrestrial OM and phytoplankton signals during the past decades record the interaction among marine ecological effects, anthropogenic activities and natural processes (i.e., extreme climate events). As a whole, the elevated productivity of marine phytoplankton since 1952 (mainly caused by enhanced nutrient inputs owing to the intensified human activities) and the decline in the period of 2005–2011 (likely influenced by the water impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam in 2003) were well reconstructed on the basis of brassicasterol (B) and dinosterol (D) indicators in this study. The B/(B + D) ratios also reveal the changes of community structure as a result of variations in the nutrient structure controlled by anthropogenic forcing. Notably, the anomalous peak in the abundance of n-alkanes with the even carbon predominance in about 1990 is identified for the first time, which may occur at that time of the first heavy rainfall after a long drought and is probably of the origin of biomass/fossil fuel combustion.

    Abstract Zhe-Maidong (Ophiopogon japonicus (L.f.) Ker-Gawl) is a traditional medicinal herb in the family Liliaceae that has significant pharmacological effects on immunity and cardiovascular disease. In this study, three different growth stages of Zhe-Maidong were investigated using RNA-seq, and a total of 16.4 Gb of raw data was obtained. After filtering and assembling, 96,738 unigenes with an average length of 605.3 bp were ultimately generated. A total of 77,300 unigenes were annotated using information from five databases, including the NT, NR, SwissProt, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) databases. Additionally, the mechanisms of flavonoid, saponin and polysaccharide biosynthesis and of accumulation at different stages of tuber development were also characterized. From the first to third years, the contents of flavonoids, saponins and polysaccharides all increased, whereas the expression levels of related genes decreased in the flavonoid and saponin pathways and first increased and then decreased in the polysaccharide pathway. The results of this study provide the most comprehensive expressed sequence resource for Zhe-Maidong and will expand the available O. japonicus gene library and facilitate further genome-wide research and analyses of this species.
