| 1 | Highly efficient,genotype-independent transformation and gene editing in watermelon(Citrullus lanatus)using a chimeric ClGRF4-GIF1 gene显示文摘Efficient genetic transformation has the potential to advance research and breeding in watermelon(Citrullus lanatus),but regeneration from tissue culture remains challenging.Previous work showed that expressing a fusion of two interacting transcription factors,GROWTH-REGULATING FACTOR4(GRF4)and GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR1(GIF1),improved regeneration in wheat(Triticum aestivum).By overexpressing a chimeric fusion of Cl GRF4 and Cl GIF1,we achieved highly efficient transformation in watermelon.Mutating the mi396 micro RNA target site in Cl GRF further boosted the transformation efficiency up to 67.27%in a genotype-independent manner.Cl GRF4-GIF1 can also be combined with clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9(Cas9)genome editing tools to achieve highly efficient gene editing in watermelon,which we used to successfully create diploid seedless watermelon.This research thus puts forward a powerful transformation tool for future watermelon research and breeding. | Qin Feng Ling Xiao Yizhen He Man Liu Jiafa Wang Shujuan Tian Xian Zhang Li Yuan | 2021 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2021,63,12: | 8 |
| 2 | Responses of soil microbial communities and functions associated with organic carbon mineralization to nitrogen addition in a Tibetan grassland显示文摘Alpine grasslands with a high soil organic carbon(SOC)storage on the Tibetan Plateau are experiencing rapid climate warming and anthropogenic nitrogen(N)deposition;this is expected to substantially increase the soil N availability,which may impact carbon(C)cycling.However,little is known regarding how N enrichment influences soil microbial communities and functions relative to C cycling in this region.We conducted a 4-year field experiment on an alpine grassland to evaluate the effects of four different rates of N addition(0,25,50,and 100 kg N ha^-1 year^-1)on the abundance and community structure(phospholipid fatty acids,PLFAs)of microbes,enzyme activities,and community level physiological profiles(CLPP)in soil.We found that N addition increased the microbial biomass C(MBC)and N(MBN),along with an increased abundance of bacterial PLFAs,especially Gram-negative bacterial PLFAs,with a decreasing ratio of Gram-positive to Gram-negative bacteria.The N addition also stimulated the growth of fungi,especially arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,reducing the ratio of fungi to bacteria.Microbial functional diversity and activity of enzymes involved in C cycling(β-1,4-glucosidase and phenol oxidase)and N cycling(β-1,4-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase and leucine aminopeptidase)increased after N addition,resulting in a loss of SOC.A meta-analysis showed that the soil C/N ratio was a key factor in the response of oxidase activity to N amendment,suggesting that the responses of soil microbial functions,which are linked to C turnover relative to N input,primarily depended upon the soil C/N ratio.Overall,our findings highlight that N addition has a positive influence on microbial communities and their associated functions,which may reduce soil C storage in alpine grasslands under global change scenarios. | Ruyi LUO Jiafa LUO Jianling FAN Deyan LIU Jin-Sheng HE Nazia PERVEEN Weixin DING | 2020 | Pedosphere2020,30,2: | 3 |
| 3 | MicroRNAs Are Involved in Maize Immunity Against Fusarium verticillioides Ear Rot显示文摘Fusarium ear rot(FER)caused by Fusarium verticillioides is one of the most common diseases affecting maize production worldwide.FER results in severe yield losses and grain contamination with health-threatening mycotoxins.Although most studies to date have focused on comprehensive analysis of gene regulation in maize during defense responses against F.verticillioides infection,less is known about the role of micro RNAs(mi RNAs)in this process.We used deep sequencing to compare small RNA libraries from the maize kernels of susceptible(N6)or resistant(BT-1)inbred lines from uninfected plants and upon F.verticillioides infection.We found that pathogen exposure was accompanied by dynamic alterations in expression levels of multiple mi RNAs,including new members of previously annotated mi RNA families.A combination of transcriptomic,degradomic,and bioinformatics analyses revealed that F.verticillioides-responsive mi RNAs and their potential target genes displayed opposite expression patterns in the susceptible and resistant genotypes.Functional category analysis uncovered preferential enrichment of the pathogen-responsive mi RNAs and their targets in the phenylpropanoid metabolic processes,plant–pathogen interactions,and plant phytohormone signal transduction pathways.Furthermore,transgenic maize plants overexpressing mi R408 b exhibited reduced resistance to F.verticillioides infection in a susceptible maize line.These findings provide new insights into the regulatory roles of mi RNAs in maize immunity against FER and new resources for breeding disease resistance into maize. | Zijian Zhou Yan Cao Tao Li Xinghao Wang Jiafa Chen Hang He Wen Yao Jianyu Wu Huiyong Zhang | 2020 | Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics2020,18,3: | 3 |
| 4 | Yield-scaled nitrous oxide emissions from nitrogen-fertilized croplands in China: A meta-analysis of contrasting mitigation scenarios显示文摘Nitrogen(N) losses in cropland resulting from the application of synthetic fertilizers decrease crop productivity and exacerbate environmental pollution.Mitigation measures, such as reduction in N fertilizer application rates, can have unintentional adverse effects on crop yield. We conducted a meta-analysis of soil N_(2)O emissions from agricultural fields across China under contrasting mitigation scenarios as a novel approach to identify the most effective strategy for the mitigation of emissions of N_(2)O derived from N fertilizer use in China. Current standard agricultural practice was used as a baseline scenario(BS), and 12 potential mitigation scenarios(S1–S12) were derived from the available literature and comprised single and combinations of management scenarios that accounted for crop yield. Mitigation scenarios S6(nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) and S11(20% reduction in N application rate plus nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide) in maize, rice, and wheat crops led to an average 56.0% reduction in N_(2)O emissions at the national level, whereas scenario S4(nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide) led to yield optimization, with a 14.0% increase for maize and 8.0% increase for rice as compared to the BS. Implementation of these most effective mitigation scenarios(S4, S6, and S11) might help China, as a signatory to the 2015 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(Paris Agreement), to achieve a 30% reduction in N_(2)O emissions by 2030. | Garba ALIYU Jiafa LUO Hong J.DI Deyan LIU Junji YUAN Zengming CHEN Tiehu HE Weixin DING | 2021 | Pedosphere2021,31,2: | 2 |
| 5 | Frequency Support from PMSG-Based Wind Turbines with Reduced DC-Link Voltage Fluctuations显示文摘Frequency droop control is widely used in permanent magnet synchronous generators(PMSGs)based wind turbines(WTs)for grid frequency support.However,under frequency deviations,significant DC-link voltage fluctuations may occur during the transient process due to sudden changes in real power of such WTs.To address this issue,a current feedforward control strategy is proposed for PMSG-based WTs to reduce DC-link voltage fluctuations when the WTs are providing frequency support under grid frequency deviations.Meanwhile,the desired frequency support capability of the PMSG-based WTs can be ensured.Simulation results verify the rationality of the analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed control method. | Jiafa He Linbin Huang Di Wu Chengzhi Zhu Huanhai Xin | 2018 | CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems2018,2,3: | 0 |
