    分类: 生物学 >> 生态学 提交时间: 2025-07-17 合作期刊: 《干旱区科学》

    摘要: Grassland is a key component of the ecosystem in the Qinghai Lake Basin, China. Understanding the effects of climate change and human activities on grassland productivity significantly improves ecological conservation and promotes sustainable vegetation growth in this area. Based on the net primary productivity (NPP) products of MOD17A3HGF (a moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) product that provides annual NPP at 500 m resolution) and meteorological data, we analyzed the spatial and temporal evolution of grassland NPP and its interaction with climate factors in the Qinghai Lake Basin from 2001 to 2022 via partial correlation and trend analysis methods. We also used the deflecting trend residual method and scenario analysis method to quantitatively assess the relative contributions of climatic factors and human activities to grassland NPP. The results revealed that: (1) during the past 22 a, grassland NPP increased considerably, with a gradient change from the northwest to the southeast of the study area; (2) sunshine duration, precipitation, and temperature positively influenced grassland NPP, with sunshine duration exerting a stronger effect on grassland NPP than precipitation and temperature; and (3) 98.47% of the grassland in the study area was restored, with an average contribution of 65.00% from human activities and 35.00% from climatic alterations. Compared with climate change, human-induced factors had a greater effect on grassland NPP in this area. The results of the study not only provide important scientific support for ecological restoration and sustainable development of the basin but also offer new ideas for research on similar ecologically fragile areas.

  • Applying joint species distribution modelling to assess the relative influence of ecological filters on community assembly in the El Bayadh steppe, Algeria

    分类: 生物学 >> 生态学 提交时间: 2025-07-17 合作期刊: 《干旱区科学》

    摘要: Understanding plant community assembly is crucial for effective ecosystem conservation and restoration. The ecological filter framework describes community assembly as a process shaped by dispersal, environmental, and biotic filters. Additionally, functional traits and phylogenetic relationships are increasingly recognized as important factors influencing species coexistence and community structure. However, both the ecological filter framework and the roles of functional traits and phylogeny in community assembly remain underexplored in the Algerian steppes—particularly in the El Bayadh region, where ongoing vegetation degradation threatens ecosystem stability. This study applied Hierarchical Modeling of Species Communities (HMSC) as an integrative approach to assess how ecological filters influence plant community assembly in the El Bayadh steppe and to evaluate the roles of functional traits and phylogenetic relationships in this process. Environmental data—including soil properties, topography, precipitation, and land use types (grazing and exclosure)—were collected across 50 plots in April and October, 2023, along with functional traits from 24 species. These traits include root length, leaf area, specific leaf area, clonality, life history, and seed mass. HMSC results revealed that soil properties and precipitation were the primary drivers of community structure, while sand height and elevation had a moderate influence. In contrast, competition and grazing played relatively minor roles. Species responses to environmental covariates were heterogeneous: soil fertility and texture had mixed effects, benefiting some species while limiting others; sand encroachment and precipitation variability generally had negative impacts, whereas grazing exclusion favored many species. A weak phylogenetic signal was recorded, indicating that community assembly was driven more by environmental filtering than by shared evolutionary history. Functional trait responses to environmental variation reflected plant strategies that balanced resource acquisition and conservation. Specifically, seed mass, leaf area, and root length increased under higher soil moisture and nutrient availability but declined in response to salinity, precipitation variability, and sand height. Clonality and perennial life history traits enhanced the survival of plant species under harsh conditions. Overall, this study provides a holistic understanding of community assembly processes in the El Bayadh steppe and offers valuable insights for ecosystem management and restoration in arid and degraded ecosystem environments.

  • A DNA-PKcs-primary cilia axis maintains cellular senescence induced by ionizing radiation in tumor cells

    分类: 生物学 >> 生物数学 提交时间: 2025-07-14

    摘要: Senescence is a cellular response closely associated with genotoxic stress and plays a critical role in determining cell fate following irradiation exposure. Primary cilia, sensory organelles on the cell surface, detect and transmit diverse signaling cues. However, the relationship between primary cilia and senescence in long-term cell fate decisions after ionizing radiation (IR) remains poorly understood. Here, we show that DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (p-DNA-PKcs) co-localized with centromeres during various mitosis stages, while during interphase, p-DNA-PKcs is confined to the nucleus in tumor cells. Following irradiation exposure, primary cilia are formed and persistently maintained at high levels in senescent tumor cells. Inhibition of DNA-PKcs enhances primary cilia formation, while combines inhibition with siDNA-PKcs and irradiation reduces cilia generation, moreover, Chloral hydrate-induced primary cilia removal results in senescent cell death and decreases p-DNA-PKcs protein expression. Notably, treatment with the apoptosis inducer ABT263, also leads to increased cell death and a decreased incidence of primary cilia. Inhibition of either primary cilia or DNA-PKcs further enhances the radiosensitivity of tumor cells. These findings suggest that p-DNA-PKcs contributes to primary cilia formation after irradiation and plays a critical role in both the induction and maintenance of cellular senescence.

  • Production of unreduced microspores in Arabidopsis flowers cultivated in culture medium suggests a role of sucrose in facilitating meiotic cytokinesis

    分类: 生物学 >> 细胞生物学 提交时间: 2025-07-04

    摘要: Live-imaging microscopy technology has been increasingly applied for meiosis study in plants, which largely relies on the set up of a healthy ex vivo culture system for inflorescences ensuring that the captured chromosomes dynamics approaches the natural features of meiosis. Here, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana flowers cultivated in a culture medium (CCM) composed of the half-strength Murashige and Skoog basal salt, MES, Myo-inositol, sucrose and agar produce diploid microspores due to occurrence of meiotic restitution. Cytological studies revealed adjacent nuclei distribution and incomplete cytokinesis at late meiosis II in meiocytes within the CCM flowers. Immunolocalization of α-tubulin and the microtubule-associated protein MAP65-3 showed that the orientation of spindles at metaphase II and the organization of radial microtubule arrays at the tetrad stage are interfered, which explains the production of meiotically-restituted microspores. Moreover, the CCM flowers showed a gradually impaired expression of Aborted Microspores (AMS), a key transcription factor regulating tapetum development and meiotic cytokinesis. Interestingly, an increased supply of sucrose in culture medium promoted the expression of AMS and partially rescued haploid microspore formation in the CCM flowers. Taken together, this study suggests a role of sucrose in facilitating meiotic cytokinesis and gametophytic ploidy stability in plants.

    分类: 生物学 >> 生物化学 提交时间: 2025-07-02

    摘要: 茶和黑咖啡作为全球广泛消费的饮料,在维持机体健康方面发挥重要作用。尿蛋白基本不会直接来源于饮品,尿液蛋白质组的变化反映的即为机体受饮品影响后的变化,而非饮品本身的代谢产物,那么是否可以通过尿蛋白质组反映不同发酵程度的茶与黑咖啡对机体的影响呢?本研究采用前后对比与组间对比两种方式,收集大鼠连续7天饮用绿茶、乌龙茶、红茶、普洱茶或黑咖啡前后的尿液,使用液相色谱-串联质谱技术进行分析。结果表明,尿液蛋白质组可以反映大鼠饮用不同发酵程度的茶或黑咖啡一周后机体产生的变化,富集到脂肪细胞分化、脂质代谢、葡萄糖代谢、脂肪酸转运、免疫反应等生物学过程与通路,且不同发酵程度的茶与黑咖啡对机体的影响呈现高度特异性。此外,多个差异蛋白被报道是癌症、心血管疾病等的生物标志物,提示在尿液疾病标志物的临床应用和相关研究中,应注意茶、黑咖啡等饮品的影响,同时可能需要形成多个标志物的组合,提高准确性。综上,通过尿液蛋白质组可全面、系统地反映茶与黑咖啡所有成分对机体的整体影响,并区分饮用不同发酵程度的茶与黑咖啡后机体产生的变化。

    分类: 生物学 >> 植物学 >> 植物生态学和植物地理学 提交时间: 2025-05-19 合作期刊: 《干旱区科学》

    摘要: Salt-tolerant bacteria associated with halophytes enhance plant resistance and adaptation to environmental stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diversity and plant-beneficial traits of bacteria associated with three halophytes in an arid land, Northwest China. The bacterial strains were isolated from the roots, shoots, rhizosphere, and bulk soil of three halophytes, i.e., Salicornia europaea L., Kalidium foliatum (Pall.) Moq., and Suaeda aralocaspica (Bunge) Freitag Schütze, collected from the saline soils near to the Wujiaqu City, Xinjiang, Northwest China. A total of 567 strains were isolated and identified from these three halophytes belonging to 4 phyla, 6 classes, 25 orders, 36 families, and 66 genera, including 147 potential novel species. A total of 213 strains exhibited one or more plant growth- promoting properties, while 20 strains demonstrated multiple in vitro plant growth-promoting activities, including phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation, siderophore production, and production of hydrolytic enzymes such as protease and cellulase. Our findings showed that halophytes in the arid land harbor diverse bacteria with the potential to enhance plant growth and adaptability under challenging environmental conditions.

  • Improving the livelihoods of local communities in degraded desert regions through afforestation with Moringa peregrina trees to combat desertification

    分类: 生物学 >> 植物学 >> 植物生态学和植物地理学 提交时间: 2025-05-19 合作期刊: 《干旱区科学》

    摘要: Climate change and human activities have led to desertification and decreased land productivity, significantly affecting human livelihoods in desert regions. Identifying suitable areas for cultivating economic and native plants based on ecological capacity, biological restoration, and risk management can be valuable tools for combating desertification. In this study, we identified suitable areas for the growth of economic and medicinal Moringa peregrina trees in desert regions of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, southern Iran, using library research and field methods. We also assessed the economic involvement of local communities in areas under different topographic conditions (namely flat area, undulating area, rolling area, moderately sloping area, and steep area) in the study area. Financial indicators such as the net present value (NPV), benefit-cost ratio (BCR), internal rate of return (IRR), and return on investment (ROI) were calculated for areas under various topographic conditions in the study area. The rolling area with results of NPV (6142.75 USD), IRR (103.38), BCR (5.38), and ROI (in the 3rd year) was the best region for investing and cultivating M. peregrina. The minimum economic level varied from 0.80 hm2 in the flat area to 21.60 hm2 in the steep area. Also, approximately 5,314,629.51 hm2 of desert lands in the study area were deemed suitable for M. peregrina cultivation, benefiting around 1,743,246 households in the study area. Cultivating M. peregrina in southern Iran can positively affect local communities and help preserve land from erosion. Our study will provide theoretical support for planting native species in other degraded desert regions to enhance ecosystem services and the well-being of indigenous populations.

  • Dynamic evolution of the NDVI and driving factors in the Mu Us Sandy Land of China from 2002 to 2021

    摘要: Investigating the spatiotemporal evolution of vegetation and its response mechanisms to natural and anthropogenic elements is crucial for regional vegetation restoration and ecological preservation. The Mu Us Sandy Land (MUSL), which is situated in the semi-arid zone of northwestern China adjacent to the Loess Plateau, has been at the forefront of desertification and oasis formation over the past two millennia. This study is based on the synthesis of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from MOD13A3 data in the MODIS (Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) dataset (2002–2021) and climate data (temperature and precipitation) at annual and monthly scales from the National Earth System Science Data Center. A range of analytical methods, including univariate linear regression, Theil-Sen trend analysis and Mann-Kendall significance test, correlation analysis, residual analysis, and Hurst index, were used to explore the response mechanisms of the NDVI to climate change and human activities and to predict the future trends of the NDVI in the MUSL. The results showed that through the method of correlation analysis, in terms of both spatially averaged correlation coefficients and area proportion, the NDVI was positively correlated with temperature and precipitation in 97.59% and 96.51% of the study area, respectively, indicating that temperature has a greater impact on the NDVI than precipitation. Residual analysis quantified the contributions of climate change and human activities to the NDVI changes, revealing that climate change and human activities contribute up to 30.00% and 70.00%, respectively, suggesting that human activities predominantly affect the NDVI changes in the MUSL. The Hurst index was used to categorize the future trend of the NDVI into four main directions of development: continuous degradation (0.05% of the study area), degradation in the past but improvement in the future (54.45%), improvement in the past but degradation in the future (0.13%), and continuous improvement (45.36%). In more than 50.00% of the regions that have been degraded in the past but were expected to improve in the future, the NDVI was expected to exhibit a stable trend of anti-persistent improvement. These findings provide theoretical support for future ecological protection, planning, and the implementation of ecological engineering in the MUSL, and also offer a theoretical basis for the planning and execution of construction projects, environmental protection measures, and the sustainable development of vegetation.

  • A Model of Magnetoreception via Lorentz Force on the Transmission of Action Potential along Peripheral Nerves

    分类: 生物学 >> 生物物理学 >> 神经科学 分类: 物理学 >> 交叉学科物理及相关领域的科学与技术 提交时间: 2025-05-06

    摘要: How animals perceive weak magnetic signals remains a mystery. Here I propose that the sensory inputs can be modulated in their transmission velocity along the peripheral nerves surrounded by Schwann cells which contain huge amounts of superparamagnetic iron nanoparticles stored in ferritins, forming the ordered arrays of hexagonal paracrystalline. Through interparticle interactions within the arrays, the superparamagnetic nanoparticles become subtly magnetized and aligned orderly with the Earth’s magnetic field. The Lorentz force of the small magnetic field created by the paracrystalline arrays will shift the motion trajectory of cations of action potentials whenever the magnetic line is not parallel to the direction of movement of the ions, from a straight path to a curve track within the myelinated axons. Since bending orientations of the peripheral nerve are always mirror-symmetric, the Lorentz force can delay transmission on one side where the ion trajectory does not fit the axon curve, but has almost no such effect on the other side where the ions can travel along the radian of the axon curve. This mechanism can create a time difference in arrival at the CNS nucleus between the two sides, activating the deviated coincidence detector neurons so that the directions of the external magnetic “source” are encoded and processed.

  • Variations of soil bacterial community structure and function under different habitats of Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. in the upper reaches of the Tarim River, Northwest China

    分类: 生物学 >> 植物学 >> 植物生态学和植物地理学 提交时间: 2025-04-14 合作期刊: 《干旱区科学》

    摘要: Diversity of soil microorganisms in different habitats of arid and semi-arid areas plays an important role in the soil texture and nutrient, promoting the growth of vegetation in those areas. To clarify the response of soil bacterial community diversity to the changes of environmental factors in different habitats, this study collected soil samples under the canopies of Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. in oasis, transition zone, and desert habitats in the upper reaches of the Tarim River, Northwest China. High-throughput sequencing technology and PICRUSt2 software were used to explore the composition and function of soil bacterial communities in different habitats of T. ramosissima. The results showed that: (1) soil environmental factors under the canopy of T. ramosissima in the three habitats differed significantly, with soil moisture and nutrient conditions being better in the oasis; (2) Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Gemmatimonadetes were the major bacterial communities in the three habitats; (3) soil bacterial community composition under the canopy of T. ramosissima varied greatly, and the richness was significantly different among the three habitats; (4) redundancy analysis indicated that soil water content and available phosphorous were the most important environmental factors influencing the composition of soil bacterial community; and (5) 6 primary functions and 21 secondary functions were obtained by PICRUSt2 function prediction, with metabolism being the most dominant function. This study revealed the response of soil bacterial community composition to habitat changes and their driving factors in the upper reaches of the Tarim River, which could improve the understanding of ecological sensitivity of soil microorganisms in arid and semi-arid areas, and provide a theoretical foundation for improving soil quality and ecological protection.

  • Diversification of flavonoid accumulation among ecotypes of Agriophyllum squarrosum (L.) Moq. in response to drought stress

    分类: 生物学 >> 植物学 >> 植物生理学 提交时间: 2025-04-14 合作期刊: 《干旱区科学》

    摘要: Agriophyllum squarrosum (L.) Moq., commonly known as sandrice, is an annual medicinal plant prevalent in the dunes across China's deserts. A garden trial revealed that flavonoid content varies among sandrice ecotypes due to long-term local adaptation to water variability. To investigate how sandrice responds to drought stress through the molecular metabolic regulation of flavonoids, we employed transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses during a 9-d ambient drought stress, examining three ecotypes along a precipitation gradient. The three ecotypes located in Dengkou (DK) County, Dulan (DL) County, and Aerxiang (AEX) village of northern China, which had 137, 263, and 485 mm precipitation, respectively. Soil moisture content was 4.04% after drought stress, causing seedlings of the three sandrice ecotypes to display collapsed structures, yellowing leaves, wilting, and curling. Among these, DL exhibited superior drought tolerance, in which plant height increase (PHI) and leaf area (LA) were significantly higher than those of DK and AEX. Flavonoid-targeted metabolomics identified that rutin, isoquercitrin, and astragalin constituted over 95.00% of the 15 flavonoid metabolites detected. A total of 12 differentially accumulated flavonoids (DAFs) were found, with rutin being the most abundant (1231.57–2859.34 ng/100 mg fresh weight (FW)), showing a gradual increase along the precipitation gradient. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 14 common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with flavonoid synthesis among the three ecotypes. Integrative analysis of DEGs and DAFs indicated that sandrice adapts to drought stress by activating different flavonoid synthesis pathways. In DK, the dihydrokaempferol-dihydroquercetin pathway, regulated by flavonoid 3'-monooxygenase (CYP75B1), likely enhances drought adaptation. In AEX, transcriptional repression by O-methylatransferase (OMT) shifts the metabolic flux from the quercetin-isorhamnetin pathway to the quercetin-isoquercetin-rutin pathway in response to drought. DL, the most drought- tolerant ecotype, appears to activate the naringenin-apigenin-luteolin route and employs a unique flavonoid accumulation pattern in response to drought stress. Our data reveal that flavonoid synthesis in sandrice is fine-tuned among ecotypes to cope with drought, offering valuable germplasm resources and evaluation methods for sandrice acclimation and providing insights into drought response in non-model plants.

  • Mechanical properties and enhanced soil shear strength of herbaceous plant roots in the alpine meadow layer of the permafrost region on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau, China

    分类: 生物学 >> 植物学 >> 应用植物学 提交时间: 2025-04-14 合作期刊: 《干旱区科学》

    摘要: The Qinghai–Xizang Plateau of China faces challenges like thaw slumping, threatening slope stability and infrastructure. Understanding the mechanical properties of the roots of the dominant herbaceous plant species in the alpine meadow layer of the permafrost regions on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau is essential for evaluating their role in enhancing soil shear strength and mitigating slope deformation in these fragile environments. In this study, the roots of four dominant herbaceous plant species—Kobresia pygmaea, Kobresia humilis, Carex moorcroftii, and Leontopodium pusillum—that are widely distributed in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau were explored to determine their mechanical properties and effects in enhancing soil shear strength. Through indoor single root tensile and root group tensile tests, we determined the root diameter, tensile force, tensile strength, tensile ratio, and strength frequency distributions. We also evaluated their contributions to inhibiting slope deformation and failure during the formation and development of thermal thaw slumps in the alpine meadow. The results showed that the distribution of the root diameter of the dominant plant species is mostly normal, while the tensile strength tends to be logarithmically normally distributed. The relationship between the root diameter and root tensile strength conforms to a power function. The theoretical tensile strength of the root group was calculated using the Wu–Waldron Model (WWM) and the Fiber Bundle Model (FBM) under the assumption that the cumulative single tensile strength of the root bundle is identical to the tensile strength of the root group in the WWM. The FBM considers three fracture modes: FBM–D (the tensile force on each single root is proportional to its diameter relative to the total sum of all the root diameters), FBM–S (the cross–sectional stress in the root bundle is uniform), and FBM–N (each tensile strength test of individual roots experiences an equal load). It was found that the model-calculated tensile strength of the root group was 162.60% higher than the test value. The model-derived tensile force of the root group from the FBM–D, FBM–S, and FBM–N was 73.10%, 28.91%, and 13.47% higher than the test values, respectively. The additional cohesion of the soil provided by the roots was calculated to be 25.90–45.06 kPa using the modified WWM, 67.05–38.15 kPa using the FBM–S, and 57.24–32.74 kPa using the FBM–N. These results not only provide a theoretical basis for further quantitative evaluation of the mechanical effects of the root systems of herbaceous plant species in reinforcing the surface soil but also have practical significance for the effective prevention and control of thermal thaw slumping disasters in the permafrost regions containing native alpine meadows on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau using flexible plant protection measures.

    摘要: 三脉水丝梨(Sycopsis triplinervia)是金缕梅科(Hamamelidaceae)水丝梨属(Sycopsis) 的一种常绿灌木。由于水丝梨属的系统发育地位仍存在争议且与假蚊母属(Distyliopsis)、 蚊母树属(Distylium)等近缘属之间的亲缘关系尚不明确,该研究对三脉水丝梨的叶绿体基 因组进行了测序与组装,并结合公共数据库中金缕梅科其他物种的叶绿体基因组数据,开展 了比较基因组分析和叶绿体基因组系统发育分析。结果表明:(1)三脉水丝梨基因组大小 为159 375 bp,共编码133 个基因,包括8 个rRNA 基因、37 个tRNA 基因、87 个蛋白编 码基因和1 个假基因。(2)在其基因组中共检测到33 个散在重复序列、39 个串联重复序 列和82 个简单重复序列(SSRs)。(3)密码子偏好以A/U 结尾,共包含9 个最优密码子 且密码子偏好主要受自然选择的影响。(4)与近缘种相比,三脉水丝梨的叶绿体基因组整 体较为保守。从水丝梨属中筛选到的15 个高变异区域具有潜在用于分子鉴定的价值。(5) 系统发育分析显示,金缕梅科为单系类群,金缕梅属(Hamamelis)、白缕梅属(Parrotiopsis)、 水丝梨属、假蚊母属、波斯铁木属(Parrotia)和蚊母树属6 个属形成了一个强力支持的单 系分支,几个属之间具有较近的亲缘关系,其中三脉水丝梨与该分支中的其他类群互为姐妹 群。然而,水丝梨属、波斯铁木属、假蚊母属和蚊母树属均非单系。该研究为金缕梅科的系 统发育研究提供了重要的基础数据和参考。
