    Abstract Lycium ruthenicum Murr. is one of the most important shrubs grown in northwest China. Healthy buds and leaves of L. ruthenicum Murr. were selected for the present study. Flower development was divided into six stages, namely, flower bud pre-differentiation (I), late flower differentiation (II), squaring stage (III), dew crown period (IV), open stage (V) and senescent stage (VI). Endogenous hormone content and specific value, soluble sugar, sucrose, starch, and soluble protein were measured, and ABA/IAA, ABA/GA 3 , ZR/IAA, ZR/GA 3 , and C/N were calculated in buds and leaves at stage VI. The results showed that ABA, GA 3 , and ZR content of buds significantly increased from flower bud pre-differentiation to late flower differentiation stage. However, ABA, GA 3 , and ZR content of leaves had the opposite change trend. From open stage to senescent stage, IAA, ABA, and GA 3 content of buds and leaves significantly increased in L. ruthenicum Murr. However, ZR content of buds and leaves significantly decreased from open stage to senescent stage. ABA/IAA, ABA/GA 3 , ZR/IAA, and ZR/GA 3 values of buds significantly increased from lower bud pre-differentiation to late flower differentiation stage. However, ABA/IAA, ABA/GA 3 , ZR/IAA, and ZR/GA 3 values of leaves significantly decreased from lower bud pre-differentiation to late flower differentiation stage. ABA/IAA and ABA/GA 3 of buds significantly increased from open stage to senescent stage, but ZR/IAA and ZR/GA 3 of buds significantly decreased from open to senescent. At this stage, ABA/IAA, ABA/GA 3 , ZR/IAA, and ZR/GA 3 significantly decreased in L. ruthenicum Murr. The higher soluble sugar and sucrose content in the buds and leaves were beneficial to the flower bud differentiation of L. ruthenicum . The increasing of soluble sugar improved the energy basis to florescence and senescent. The carbohydrates metabolism enhanced from open stage to senescent stage and nitrogen metabolism reduced from open stage to senescent stage of L. ruthenicum.

    Abstract Ultrasensitive and specific detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in complex biological samples is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of prostate-related diseases. Immunoassay with a simple sensing interface and ultrahigh sensitivity is highly desirable. Herein, a novel electroluminescence (ECL) immunosensing platform is demonstrated based on the equipment of vertically ordered mesoporous silica-nanochannel films (VMSFs) with PSA antibody, which is able to realize ultrasensitive detection of PSA in human serum. Through the electrochemically assisted self-assembly (EASA) method, the VMSF is easily grown on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode in a few seconds. Owing to a large surface area and the negatively charged surface, VMSF nanochannels display strong electrostatic attraction to the positively charged ECL luminophores (tris(2,2-bipyridyl) dichlororuthenium (II), (Ru(bpy)32+), leading to two orders-of-magnitude enhancement of ECL emission compared with that of the bare ITO electrode. The outer surface of the VMSF is functionalized with reactive epoxy groups, which further allows covalent attachment of PSA antibody (Ab) on the entry of nanochannels. As the combination of PSA with Ab decreases the ECL signal by hindering the mass transfer of ECL luminophores and coreactant, the developed immunosensor can achieve ultrasensitive detection of PSA ranging from 1 pg ml−1 to 100 ng ml−1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 pg ml−1. Considering the antifouling ability of the VMSF, sensitive detection of PSA in human serum is also realized. The proposed nanochannel-based immunosensor may open up a new way for the facile development of the universal immunosensing platform for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of disease markers.

    Abstract Carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems can be significantly increased by afforestation, which will slow global warming. However, it is still unclear how different plantations influence the carbon sink and how they respond to environmental factors, especially in drylands. In this study, eddy correlation method (EC) was used to measure carbon and water fluxes and environmental factors of two artificial forests ( Larix principis-rupprechtii and Pinus tabulaeformis ) in the dryland of Northwest China, and the responses of evapotranspiration (ET), net ecosystem exchange (NEE), gross primary productivity (GPP), and ecosystem respiration (RECO) to environmental factors were also assessed. Results showed that the L. principis-rupprechtii forest ecosystem had higher water use efficiency (WUE), light use efficiency (LUE), GPP, and RECO than the P. tabulaeformis forest ecosystem. However, the proportion of net ecosystem production (NEP) to GPP in the P. tabulaeformis forest ecosystem (62.89%) was higher than that in the L. principis-rupprechtii forest ecosystem (47.49%), indicating that the P. tabulaeformis forest ecosystem had the higher carbon sequestration efficiency. In addition, the CO 2 and H 2 O fluxes in the L. principis-rupprechtii forest ecosystem were more sensitive to environmental factors, compared with the P. tabulaeformis forest ecosystem. Further, the RECO of the L. principis-rupprechtii forest ecosystem was more sensitive to temperature changes, which implies that the L. principis-rupprechtii forest ecosystem will release more CO 2 than the P. tabulaeformis forest ecosystem with a warming climate. Therefore, the P. tabulaeformis forest ecosystem may have better carbon sequestration potential. These results are important for understanding the effects of climate change on the CO 2 and H 2 O cycles in coniferous plantation ecosystems in drylands.

    Abstract TIFY is a plant-specific gene family with four subfamilies: ZML , TIFY , PPD , and JAZ . Recently, this family was found to have regulatory functions in hormone stimulation, environmental response, and development. However, little is known about the roles of the TIFY family in Tartary buckwheat ( Fagopyrum tataricum ), a significant crop for both food and medicine. In this study, 18 TIFY family genes ( FtTIFYs ) in Tartary buckwheat were identified. The characteristics, motif compositions, and evolutionary relationships of the TIFY proteins, as well as the gene structures, cis -acting elements, and synteny of the TIFY genes, are discussed in detail. Moreover, we found that most FtTIFYs responded to various abiotic stresses (cold, heat, salt, or drought) and hormone treatments (ABA, MeJA, or SA). Through yeast two-hybrid assays, we revealed that two FtTIFYs, FtTIFY1 and FtJAZ7, interacted with FtABI5, a homolog protein of AtABI5 involved in ABA-mediated germination and stress responses, implying crosstalk between ABA and JA signaling in Tartary buckwheat. Furthermore, the overexpression of FtJAZ10 and FtJAZ12 enhanced the heat stress tolerance of tobacco. Consequently, our study suggests that the FtTIFY family plays important roles in responses to abiotic stress and provides two candidate genes ( FtJAZ10 and FtJAZ12 ) for the cultivation of stress-resistant crops.

    Abstract Summary: Pollen tube integrity is required for achieving double fertilization in angiosperms. The rapid alkalinization factor4/19-ANXUR1/2-Buddha’s paper seal 1/2 (RALF4/19-ANX1/2-BUPS1/2)-complex-mediated signaling pathway is critical to maintain pollen tube integrity, but the underlying mechanisms regulating the polar localization and distribution of these complex members at the pollen tube tip remain unclear. Here, we find that COBRA-like protein 11 (COBL11) loss-of-function mutants display a low pollen germination ratio, premature pollen tube burst, and seed abortion in Arabidopsis. COBL11 could interact with RALF4/19, ANX1/2, and BUPS1/2, and COBL11 functional deficiency could result in the disrupted distribution of RALF4 and ANX1, altered cell wall composition, and decreased levels of reactive oxygen species in pollen tubes. In conclusion, COBL11 is a regulator of pollen tube integrity during polar growth, which is conducted by a direct interaction that ensures the correct localization and polar distribution of RALF4 and ANX1 at the pollen tube tip.

    Abstract In this study, effect of inoculum percentage on anaerobic co-digestion of vegetable processing waste (VPW) with cattle manure (CM) at high solids concentration (TS%) (7%) was investigated. The results were satisfactory: the time for peak appearance of daily methane yield was reduced, the earliest appeared peak was obtained on conditions of 40% inoculum percentage and 25:75 of VPW:CM ratio; at all VPW:CM ratios, the process stability of daily methane yield was enhanced by increasing inoculum percentage; the methane yield on condition of 40% inoculum percentage and 50:50 of VPW:CM ratio was the maximum (179.2 L kg VS); technical digestion time (T 80) for the maximum methane yield was the shortest (22 days). However, from the view of practical application, the capacity of treating VPW on conditions of 30% inoculum percentage and 50:50 of VPW:CM ratio may be optimal, the methane yield was 169.7 L kg VS, which was only 5.3% less than the maximum methane yield (p > 0.05). These results indicate that the increase of inoculum percentage in an appropriate range is helpful for the process performance and the methane yield of anaerobic co-digestion of VPW and CM at the high TS%.

    Abstract Emerging evidence revealed that the blood microbiota plays a role in several non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular disease. However, the role of circulating microbes in atherosclerosis remains understudied. To test this hypothesis, we performed this study to investigate the microbial profile in the blood of Chines atherosclerosis volunteers. A total of seventy Acute Coronary Syndrome patients, seventy Chronic Coronary Syndrome patients, and seventy healthy individuals were examined using high-throughput Illumina Novaseq targeting the V3-V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. The relationship between atherosclerosis and blood microbiome, clinical variables, and their functional pathways were also investigated. Our study observed significantly higher alpha diversity indices (Chao1, p = 0.001, and Shannon, p = 0.004) in the acute coronary syndrome group compared with chronic coronary syndrome and healthy group, although a significantly lower alpha diversity was observed in the chronic coronary syndrome compared to acute coronary syndrome and healthy group. Beta diversity based on principal coordinate analysis demonstrated a major separation among the three groups. In addition, using linear discriminant analysis, a significant distinct taxon such as Actinobacteria _ phylum, and Staphylococcus_ genus in the healthy group; Firmicutes_ phylum, and Lactobacillus_ genus in the chronic coronary syndrome group, and Proteobacteria and Acidobacteriota _ phyla in acute coronary syndrome group were observed among three groups. Clusters of Orthologous Genes grouped and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways suggested a significant variation among all groups (p < 0.05). The blood microbiota analysis provides potential biomarkers for the detection of coronary syndromes in this population.

    Abstract Abstract Desert plants are thought to rely more heavily on nutrient resorption due to the infertile soil. However, little is known regarding the phylogenetic effects on this traits, specifically for halophytes. Here we determined contents of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in 36 desert plants in a hyper-arid environment. The patterns of resorption or accumulation of the six elements were compared among plant groups with diverse leaf Na regulation strategies: i.e., euhalophytes (Eu), secretohalophytes (Se), pseudohalophytes (Ps) and glycophytes (Gl). Overall, N, P, K presented strict resorption across all groups, but no more efficient than global estimations. Ca and Mg tended to be resorbed less or accumulated during leaf senescence. Significant phylogenetic signal of both leaf Na content and plant group implies the pivotal role of Na regulation in the adaptation of plants to desert environment. Resorption proficiency, rather than resorption efficiency, is more phylogenetically conservative and more relevant to leaf functional traits.

    Abstract Achnatherum splendens is an important forage herb in Northwestern China. It has a high tolerance to salinity and is, thus, considered one of the most important constructive plants in saline and alkaline areas of land in Northwest China. However, the mechanisms of salt stress tolerance in A. splendens remain unknown. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies can be used for global gene expression profiling. In this study, we examined sequence and transcript abundance data for the root/leaf transcriptome of A. splendens obtained using an Illumina HiSeq 2500. Over 35 million clean reads were obtained from the leaf and root libraries. All of the RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) reads were assembled de novo into a total of 126,235 unigenes and 36,511 coding DNA sequences (CDS). We further identified 1663 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) between the salt stress treatment and control. Functional annotation of the DEGs by gene ontology (GO), using Arabidopsis and rice as references, revealed enrichment of salt stress-related GO categories, including “oxidation reduction”, “transcription factor activity”, and “ion channel transporter”. Thus, this global transcriptome analysis of A. splendens has provided an important genetic resource for the study of salt tolerance in this halophyte. The identified sequences and their putative functional data will facilitate future investigations of the tolerance of Achnatherum species to various types of abiotic stress.
