    Abstract Several expression systems have been developed in clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) framework allowing for gene editing of disease-associated genes across diverse citrus varieties. In this study, we present a new approach employing a multi-intron containing Cas9 gene plus multiple gRNAs separated with tRNA sequences to target the phytoene desaturase gene in both 'Carrizo' citrange and 'Duncan' grapefruit. Notably, using this unified vector significantly boosted editing efficiency in both citrus varieties, showcasing mutations in all three designated targets. The implementation of this multiplex gene editing system with a multi-intron-containing Cas9 plus a gRNA-tRNA array demonstrates a promising avenue for efficient citrus genome editing, equipping us with potent tools in the ongoing battle against several diseases such as canker and huanglongbing.

    Abstract Green innovation is an important driving force for high-quality development and is vital for reinvigorating the old industrial bases in Northeast China. As such, this study investigates the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics and factors influencing green innovation efficiency (GIE) in Northeast China from 2005 to 2020, using the super-efficient EBM-Malmquist model, kernel density estimation, and random forest model. The results show the following. (1) The "growth effect" of technological change is the main force driving GIE improvement; the "horizontal effect" of pure technical efficiency change has started to play an important role; and the club convergence characteristics of GIE in Northeast China have started to be optimized. (2) GIE in Northeast China shows significant spatial differentiation. The urban agglomeration of Mid-southern Liaoning and Harbin-Changchun has had high values for GIE, indicating that green innovation has a cyclic cumulative effect and the spatial pattern of green innovation needs to be further optimized. (3) The random forest model is more accurate and provides more trustworthy results compared with the traditional multiple linear regression model. The results of random forest model measurement illustrate that the number of digital economy enterprises, public finance expenditure, GDP per capita, and vegetation coverage play a positive role in promoting GIE. The proportion of the non-farm population and industrial agglomeration plays a negative role in GIE. In the same period, the contribution of the number of digital economy enterprises≥0.41, public expenditure ≥0.47, GDP per capita≥0.39, and vegetation coverage≥0.36 to GIE reach maximum values and then remain unchanged.

    Abstract Robotic underwater systems, e.g., Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), are promising tools for collecting biogeochemical data at the ice-water interface for scientific advancements. However, state estimation, i.e., localization, is a well-known problem for robotic systems, especially, for the ones that travel underwater. In this paper, we present a tightly-coupled multi-sensors fusion framework to increase localization accuracy that is robust to sensor failure. Visual images, Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Pressure sensor are integrated into the state-of-art Multi-State Constraint Kalman Filter (MSCKF) for state estimation. Besides that a new keyframe-based state clone mechanism and a new DVL-aided feature enhancement are presented to further improve the localization performance. The proposed method is validated with a data set collected in the field under frozen ice, and the result is compared with 6 other different sensor fusion setups. Overall, the result with the keyframe enabled and DVL-aided feature enhancement yields the best performance with a Root-mean-square error of less than 2 m compared to the ground truth path with a total traveling distance of about 200 m.

    Abstract Kosteletzkya pentacarpos (L.) Ledebour is a perennial facultative halophyte species from the Malvacea family that grows in coastal areas with high amounts of salt. The tolerance of K. pentacarpos to the high concentration of salt (0.5–1.5% salinity range of coastal saline land) has been widely studied for decades. Nowadays, with the dramatic development of the economy and urbanization, in addition to the salt, the accumulation of mate(loid)s in coastal soil is increasing, which is threatening the survival of halophyte species as well as the balance of wetland ecosystems. Recently, the capacity of K. pentacarpos to cope with either single heavy metal stress or a combination of multiple meta(loid) toxicities was studied. Hence, this review focused on summarizing the physiological and biochemical behaviors of K. pentacarpos that has been simultaneously exposed to the combination of several meta(loid) toxicities. How the salt accumulated by K. pentacarpos impacts the response to meta(loid) stress was discussed. We conclude that as a potential candidate for phytoremediation, K. pentacarpos was able to cope with various environmental constrains such as multiple meta(loid) stresses due to its relative tolerance to meta(loid) toxicity.

    Abstract Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a long-lasting broad-spectrum plant defense mechanism induced in distal systemic tissues by mobile signals generated at the primary infection site. Despite the discoveries of multiple potential mobile signals, how these signals cooperate to trigger downstream SAR signaling is unknown. Here, we show that endogenous extracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) [eNAD(P)] accumulates systemically upon pathogen infection and that both eNAD(P) and the lectin receptor kinase (LecRK), LecRK-VI.2, are required in systemic tissues for the establishment of SAR. Moreover, putative mobile signals, e.g., N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP), trigger de novo systemic eNAD(P) accumulation largely through the respiratory burst oxidase homolog RBOHF-produced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Importantly, NHP-induced systemic immunity mainly depends on ROS, eNAD(P), LecRK-VI.2, and BAK1, indicating that NHP induces SAR primarily through the ROS-eNAD(P)-LecRK-VI.2/BAK1 signaling pathway. Our results suggest that mobile signals converge on eNAD(P) in systemic tissues to trigger SAR through LecRK-VI.2.

    Abstract Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid, elevated levels of which in soils are becoming a major global environmental issue that poses potential health risks to humans. Pteris vittata, the first known As hyperaccumulator, has been successfully used to remediate As-polluted soils. Understanding why and how P. vittata hyperaccumulates As is the core theoretical basis of As phytoremediation technology. In this review, we highlight the beneficial effects of As in P. vittata, including growth promotion, elemental defense, and other potential benefits. The stimulated growth of P. vittata induced by As can be defined as As hormesis, but differs from that in non-hyperaccumulators in some aspects. Furthermore, the As coping mechanisms of P. vittata, including As uptake, reduction, efflux, translocation, and sequestration/detoxification are discussed. We hypothesize that P. vittata has evolved strong As uptake and translocation capacities to obtain beneficial effects from As, which gradually leads to As accumulation. During this process, P. vittata has developed a strong As vacuolar sequestration ability to detoxify overloaded As, which enables it to accumulate extremely high As concentrations in its fronds. This review also provides insights into several important research gaps that need to be addressed to advance our understanding of As hyperaccumulation in P. vittata from the perspective of the benefits of As.

    Abstract The widespread occurrence of cyanobacteria blooms damages the water ecosystem and threatens the safety of potable water and human health. Exogenous L-lysine significantly inhibits the growth of a dominant cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa in freshwater. However, the molecular mechanism of how lysine inhibits the growth of M. aeruginosa is unclear. In this study, both non-target and target metabolomic analysis were performed to investigate the effects of algicide L-lysine. The results showed that 8 mg L⁻ ¹ lysine most likely disrupts the metabolism of amino acids, especially the arginine and proline metabolism. According to targeted amino acid metabolomics analysis, only 3 amino acids (L-arginine, ornithine, and citrulline), which belong to the ornithine-ammonia cycle (OAC) in arginine metabolic pathway, showed elevated levels. The intracellular concentrations of ornithine, citrulline, and arginine increased by 115%, 124%, and 19.4%, respectively. These results indicate that L-lysine may affect arginine metabolism and OAC to inhibit the growth of M. aeruginosa.
