    Abstract Infectious plant diseases are a major threat to global agricultural productivity, economic development, and ecological integrity. There is widespread concern that these social and natural disasters caused by infectious plant diseases may escalate with climate change and computer modeling offers a unique opportunity to address this concern. Here, we analyze the intrinsic problems associated with current modeling strategies and highlight the need to integrate evolutionary principles into polytrophic, eco-evolutionary frameworks to improve predictions. We particularly discuss how evolutionary shifts in functional trade-offs, relative adaptability between plants and pathogens, ecosystems, and climate preferences induced by climate change may feedback to future plant disease epidemics and how technological advances can facilitate the generation and integration of this relevant knowledge for better modeling predictions.

    Abstract This study aims to investigate the regulatory effect of the Spatholobi Caulis extract from ethyl acetate(SEA) on natural killer(NK) cells under physiological conditions and elucidate the underlying mechanism. The C57BL/6 mice were randomized into NC and SEA groups, and NK-92 cells were respectively treated with 0, 25, 50, and 100 μg·mL~(-1) SEA. The body weight and immune organ index of the mice were compared between groups. The lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) assay was employed to examine the cytotoxicity of NK-92 cells treated with SEA and the killing activity of mouse NK cells against YAC-1 cells. The cell-counting kit-8(CCK-8) was used to examine the impact of SEA on the proliferation of NK-92 cells. Flow cytometry was employed to measure the number of NK cells in the peripheral blood as well as the expression levels of natural killer group 2 member A(NKG2A) and natural killer group 2 member D(NKG2D). The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was performed to determine the interferon(IFN)-γ secretion in the serum. Semi-quantitative PCR was conducted to determine the mRNA levels of NKG2A, NKG2D, and IFN-γ in spleen cells. Western blot was employed to investigate the involvement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/extracellular regulated protein kinase 1(ERK1) signaling pathway. The results showed that SEA exhibited no adverse effects on the body, while significantly enhance the number of NK cells and augment the cytotoxicity of NK-92 cells against YAC-1 cells. Moreover, it suppressed the expression of NKG2A, enhanced the expression of NKG2D, promoted IFN-γ secretion, and upregulated the protein levels of PI3K and ERK. The findings suggest that SEA has the potential to enhance the immune recognition and effector function of NK cells by increasing the cell number, modulating the expression of functional receptors, and promoting IFN-γ secretion via the PI3K/ERK signaling pathway.

    Abstract Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 3 (AG-3) is the main causative agent of the soil-borne disease known as potato black scurf, which poses a huge threat to potato production. Rapid and accurate identification of R. solani AG-3 isolates in soil and potato seed tubers prior to planting is essential for good production. In this study, a multiplex PCR assay was established for the detection of R. solani AG-3. Two pairs of target-specific primers were designed from sequences for endopolygalacturonase and pyridoxine biosynthesis genes downloaded from GenBank. The main factors influencing PCR amplification, such as annealing temperature and primer concentration, were optimized. Results show that the proposed multiplex PCR assay is highly sensitive and specific for the target genes in the pathogen even when the DNA concentration is reduced to 20 fg/μL. The resulting calibration plot shows a linear relationship between electrophoretic band peaks and genomic DNA concentration (R² = 0.98). The primer specificity was confirmed by applying them to other R. solani AG groups and plant pathogen species on which no amplicons were produced. Using the primers, we successfully detected small amounts of R. solani AG-3 present in soil and potato tuber samples. Taken together, the detection assay developed in this study has high sensitivity, strong specificity, and accuracy and can be used to detect and identify soil and potato seed tubers infected with Rhizoctonia solani AG-3.

    Abstract To successfully survive and reproduce, all species constantly modify the structure and expression of their genomes to cope with changing environmental conditions including ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Thus, knowledge of species adaptation to environmental changes is a central theme of evolutionary studies which could have important implication for disease management and social-ecological sustainability in the future but is generally insufficient. Here, we investigated the evolution of UV adaptation in organisms by population genetic analysis of sequence structure, physiochemistry, transcription, and fitness variation in the

    Abstract Background: The lateral spread response (LSR) is an electromyography feature of hemifacial spasm; intraoperative reduction in the LSR is associated with positive surgical outcomes. This study examined the effects of different minimum alveolar concentrations (MACs) and durations of sevoflurane inhalation on the LSR.
    Methods: Eighty patients undergoing microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasm were randomly allocated to receive propofol-remifentanil total intravenous anesthesia alone or in combination with sevoflurane at 0.5, 0.75, or 1 MAC. The LSR and orbicularis oculi muscle wave were recorded before and at 15 and 30 minutes after the start of sevoflurane administration.
    Results: Sevoflurane reduced the LSR amplitude in a dose-dependent and duration-dependent manner. The curve representing the LSR amplitude preservation ratio change according to sevoflurane concentration is best fitted by regression analysis using a cubic model, as the cubic equations had the largest coefficient of determination; at 15 minutes ( R2 =0.76, F =78.36, P <0.05) and at 30 minutes ( R2 =0.882, F =189.94, P <0.05). The inhibitory effect of sevoflurane on the LSR amplitude was greater in the first 15 minutes than in the second 15 minutes of sevoflurane administration. Sevoflurane at 1 MAC for 30 minutes mildly decreased the amplitude of the orbicularis oculi muscle wave. The latencies of the LSR and the orbicularis oculi muscle wave were not affected by sevoflurane at all MACs studied.
    Conclusions: The combination of intravenous propofol-remifentanil anesthesia with 0.5 MAC sevoflurane allows reliable intraoperative LSR monitoring in hemifacial spasm patients. Our findings support the central rather than peripheral hypothesis of the LSR.
