    Abstract Concentrations of bioavailable inorganic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are simultaneously depleted in the (sub)tropical North Atlantic Ocean, but it remains unclear if phytoplankton growth rates are N limited or N–P co‐limited. Here we present findings from three bottle‐scale experiments using a four‐by‐four matrix of low‐level N and P additions, conducted at one site in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. Phytoplankton responses were assessed both in terms of bulk chlorophyll a (Chl a ) concentrations and intracellular Chl a of dominant Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus groups. Two matrix experiments suggested that N was independently limiting in situ growth, with no co‐limiting role for P, while the third showed co‐limitation by both N and P in this region. This switch from N limitation to N–P co‐limitation was attributed to an episodic wet deposition event that supplied N, thereby stimulating phytoplankton growth and consuming available P. Such rapid transitions in nutrient limitation in response to environmental forcing might be common in oceanic systems with multiple depleted nutrients.

    Abstract Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of wheat. Cultivated einkorn (Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum, 2n=2x=14, AmAm), one of the founder crops of agriculture, harbors unexploited genetic sources for wheat improvement. An advanced wheat line Z15-1949 with 42 chromosomes, selected from the hybrids of Pst-susceptible common wheat cultivar Crocus and resistant T. monococcum accession 10-1, exhibits high resistance to a mixture of the Chinese prevalent Pst races. Genetic analysis on F1, F2, and F2:3 generations of the cross between Z15-1949 and Pst-susceptible common wheat SY95-71 indicated that the resistance of Z15-1949 was conferred by a recessive gene, tentatively designated as YrZ15-1949. This gene was mapped to the short arm of chromosome 7D using the Wheat 55K SNP array, flanked by markers KASP-1949-2 and KASP-1949-10 within a 3.3 cM genetic interval corresponding to 1.12 Mb physical region in the Chinese Spring reference genome V2.0. The gene differs from previously reported Yr genes on 7D based on their physical positions, and is probably a novel gene. YrZ15-1949 would be a valuable resource for developing Pst-resistant wheat cultivars and the linked markers could be used for the marker-assisted selection.

    Abstract Leaf rolling is regarded as an important morphological trait in wheat breeding. Moderate leaf rolling is helpful to keep leaves upright and improve the photosynthesis of plants, leading to increased yield. However, studies on the identification of genomic regions/genes associated with rolling leaf have been reported less frequently in wheat. In this study, a rolling leaf mutant, T73, which has paired spikelets, dwarfism, and delayed heading traits, was obtained from a common wheat landrace through ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis. The

    Abstract The phenomenon of overcompensation has been reported in various plant species although it has been treated by some as isolated incidents with only limited values. Reviewing reports on the extensive studies of defoliation in maize showed that different genotypes respond differently to defoliation, varying from phenomenal increase to significant loss in grain yield. The different responses of maize in kernel yield among genotypes to defoliation are confirmed in our experiments conducted in both China and Australia. Defoliated plants are likely to use less water during vegetative growth and that they also have better ability to extract water from the soil. We also found that defoliation dramatically delayed plant senescence under dry conditions, facilitating the production of high quality silage by widening the harvest window. As overcompensation occurs only in some genotypes, we believe that exploiting defoliation as a management practice directly for crop production can be risky. However, the fact that significant yield increase following defoliation does occur and that large genetic variation does exist meet the requirements for a successful breeding program. The detection of sizable quantitative trait locus (QTL) in the model plant species provides further evidence indicating the feasibility of exploiting this phenomenon through breeding. The stunning magnitudes of desirable responses reported in the literature suggest that overcompensation could become the most valuable breeding target in at least some species and its impact on crop production could be huge even if only a proportion of the reported variations could be captured.

    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 Nutrients are typically the most important determinant of the productivity of marine ecosystems. Hence, nutrients have been an essential variable of ocean observations in the modern oceanography era. Understanding of marine ecosystems and biogeochemistry, however, is largely limited by the spatiotemporal coverage of nutrient data. Herein, we developed a novel algorithm based on a large observational dataset of nutrients and their relationship with water masses indexed by temperature and salinity in the South China Sea (SCS). The algorithm yielded errors of ≤ 1.3, ≤ 0.10 and ≤ 3.5 μmol L⁻¹ for NO₃– + NO₂– (N + N), phosphate and silicate, respectively. It is then applied to reconstruct nutrient concentrations primarily using temperature and salinity data archived in the World Ocean Database and Argo database during 1940–2018. It increases the nutrient data to ~ 5 million, by ca. three orders of magnitude compared to direct measurements in the SCS. This allows for a full examination of the seasonal climatology of nutrients in the SCS. In summer, in the upper 200 m, nutrient concentrations in the northwest and southernmost SCS are higher than in the rest of the SCS. An overall reversed pattern is revealed in winter, when higher nutrient concentrations are found in the central basin rather than basin margins. The Kuroshio intrusion and the vertical displacement of the nutricline, driven by upwelling/downwelling induced by horizontal convergences/divergences at both meso- and basin scales, determine the spatial and seasonal variation of nutrients. Seasonally, the Kuroshio intrusion and vertical displacements of the nutricline tend to offset the spatial variation of nutrient concentrations in spring, while they show an additive effect in the fall.

    Abstract Staphylococcus xylosus is a gram-positive bacterium that has attracted much attention due to its increasing clinical appearance, frequently associated with serious multidrug resistance cases. L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been related to drug resistance in several bacterial species. However, the mechanism of multidrug resistance in S. xylosus remains unclear as well as the involvement of LDH in such resistance. To explore the relationship between multidrug resistance and LDH in S. xylosus, we used tylosin-resistant S. xylosus as the parent strain to construct ldh knockout and complemented strains. Then, we tested their resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, tetracyclines, and aminoglycosides. In addition, the enzyme activity, metabolite content, and transcriptional level of key genes involved in the TCA cycle and thioredoxin system were determined to clarify the mechanism of resistance. We observed that the resistance to multiple antibiotics increased significantly after ldh knockout, especially that to lincomycin, whereas antibiotic sensitivity was partially restored in the complemented strain. The levels of pyruvate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and reactive oxygen species decreased significantly upon ldh knockout, and the activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase decreased. These results indicate that the lack of LDH promotes multidrug resistance in S. xylosus by inhibiting the TCA cycle and regulating the thioredoxin system.
