The H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV) is widely prevalent in poultry and wild birds globally, and has become the predominant subtype circulating in poultry in China. The H9N2 AIV can directly or indirectly (by serving as a “donor virus”) infect humans, posing a significant threat to public health. Currently, there is a lack of in-depth research on the prevalence of H9N2 viruses in Shanxi Province, central China. In this study, we isolated 14 H9N2 AIVs from October 2020 to April 2022 in Shanxi Province, and genetic analysis revealed that these viruses belonged to seven different genotypes. Our study on animals revealed that the H9N2 strains we identified displayed high transmission efficiency among chicken populations, and exhibited diverse replication abilities within these birds. These viruses could replicate efficiently in the lungs of mice, with one strain also demonstrating the capacity to reproduce in organs like the brain and kidneys. At the cellular level, the replication ability of different H9N2 strains was evaluated using plaque formation assays and multi-step growth curve assays, revealing significant differences in the replication and proliferation efficiency of the various H9N2 viruses at the cellular level. The antigenicity analysis suggested that these isolates could be classified into twoseparate antigenic clusters. Our research provides crucial data to help understand the prevalence and biological characteristics of H9N2 AIVs in central China. It also highlights the necessity of enhancing the surveillance of H9N2 AIVs.

Plant virus causes massive crop losses globally. However, there is currently no effective measure to control plant viral disease. Previously, we identify an antiviral protein Rhp-PSP, produced by the bacterial strain JSC-3b. In this study, we discover that the antiviral activity of Rhp-PSP relies on its endoribonuclease activity. Convert the arginine (R) residue at position 129 onto alanine (A) abolish its endoribonuclease activity on coat protein (CP) RNA of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), consequentially, compromised the antiviral activity of Rhp-PSP. Further investigation demonstrates that, the mutant Rhp-PSP is unable to form the homotrimer as the wild type, indicating the importance of quaternary junction for the endoribonuclease activity. Overexpression of Rhp-PSP in significantly enhances the resistance against TMV of seedlings, while expression of Rhp-PSP did not, confirming that endoribonuclease activity is responsible for the antiviral activity of Rhp-PSP. In addition, foliar spray of Rhp-PSP solution on tomato and pepper plants significantly reduces the disease index of viral diseases, indicating that Rhp-PSP shows potential to develop antiviral agent in practice.

NADC34-like Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), which first appeared in China in 2017, is currently one of the main epidemic strains in China. In this study, we found that a new variant of NADC34-like PRRSV evolved, named the L1A variant. The phylogenetics, epidemic status, and pathogenicity of the LA variants were subsequently comprehensively evaluated. Based on the results of the ORF5 phylogenetic analysis, the L1A variants were classified as NADC34-like PPRSV. All the strains had the same discontinuous 131-aa deletion in the NSP2 region (similar to that in the NADC30). Recombination analysis revealed that the L1A variants were recombinant viruses that contained an NADC30-like PRRSV skeleton, a nonstructural protein-encoding gene region obtained in part from JXA1-like PRRSV and a ORF2-ORF6 gene region partly obtained from NADC34-like PRRSV and that exhibited similar recombination patterns. We successfully isolated the L1A variant TZJ2756 from PAMs and Marc-145 cells. In animal experiments, TZJ2756 exhibited moderate pathogenicity in piglets, causing obvious clinical symptoms, namely, persistent fever, significantlyreduced body weight, interstitial edema and severe interstitial pneumonia in the lungs, and prolonged high-load viremia. L1A variants have been detected in at least 12 provinces in China and share many similar epidemiological characteristics with the American L1C variant. This research will enhance our understanding of the prevalence of L1A variants and furnish valuable data for the ongoing monitoring of NADC34-like PRRSV in China.

The development of skeletal muscle are complicated processes involving genes responsible for proper muscle morphology, contractility, cell proliferation, differentiation, interactions, migration, and death. The three-dimensional chromatin architecture of skeletal muscle development has not been studied intensively although dynamic transcriptional regulation during differentiation of muscle cells is one of the most deeply studied processes. The RNA-seq was used to analyze the transcriptome pattern during chicken muscle development across 12 stages. Hi-C was used to build a chromatin architectures during four representative stages. ChIP-seq was conducted to identify enhancers in these four stages, which are occupied by histone H3K27ac and H3K4me3 peaks. Results show that large-scale genome architecture changes are mostly unidirectional, and coupled by complex on/off dynamic patterns of gene expression. Specifically, we observed 258.30 Mb of the genome undergoing A/B compartment switching. Notable alterations (316.57 Mb) of interaction frequencies within TADs were observed. Substantial aging-associated genes exhibited ascending connectivity with the compartment transition from repressive to active status during muscle development. Some muscle-related gene promoters that interacted with active enhancers during development, and some myopathy/aging-associated genes that were activated in aging muscle were founded. These results provide key insights into skeletal muscle development in vivo, and offer a valuable resource that allows in-depth functional characterization of candidate genes.

A straw interlayer added to soil can effectively reduce soil salinity effects on plant growth, however, the effects of soil moisture, salt and microbial community composition on plant growth under a straw interlayer are unclear. A rhizobox study was conducted to investigate the role of straw interlayer thickness on soil moisture, salt migration, microbial community composition, as well as root growth in sunflower. The study included four treatments: Control (no straw interlayer); S3 (straw interlayer of 3.0 cm); S5 (straw interlayer of 5.0 cm); S7 (straw interlayer of 7.0 cm). Straw interlayer treatments increased soil moisture by 8.2%-11.0% after irrigation and decreased soil salt content after the bud stage in 0-40 cm soil. Total root length, total root surface area, average root diameter, total root volume and the number of root tips of sunflower plants were higher under straw interlayer treatments than in the control, and were highest under the S5 treatment. This stimulated root growth was ascribed to the higher abundance of Chloroflexi and Verrucomicrobia bacteria in soil with a straw interlayer, which was increased by 55.7 and 54.7%, respectively, in the S5 treatment. Addition of a straw interlayer of 5 cm thickness is a practical and environmentally feasible approach for improving sunflower root growth in saline-alkali soil.

Water-saving irrigation strategies can successfully alleviate methane emissions from rice fields, but significantly stimulate nitrous oxide (NO) emissions because of variations in soil oxygen level and redox potential. However, the relationship linking soil NO emissions to nitrogen (N) functional genes during various fertilization treatments in water-saving paddy fields has rarely been investigated. Furthermore, the mitigation potential of organic fertilizer substitution on NO emissions and the microbial mechanism in rice fields must be further elucidated. Our study examined how soil NO emissions were affected by related functional microorganisms [ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and ] to various fertilization treatments in a rice field in southeast China over two years. In this study, three fertilization regimes were applied to rice cultivation: a no nitrogen (N) (Control), an inorganic N (N), and an inorganic N with partial N substitution with organic manure (N+N). Over two rice-growing seasons, cumulative NO emissions averaged 0.47, 4.62 and 4.08 kg ha for the Control, N and N+N treatments, respectively. In comparison to the N treatment, the N+N fertilization regime considerably reduced soil NO emissions by 11.6% while maintaining rice yield, with a lower NO emission factor from fertilizer N (EF) of 0.95%. Nitrogen fertilization considerably raised the AOB, and gene abundances, in comparison to the Control treatment. Moreover, the substitution of organic manure for inorganic N fertilizer significantly decreased AOB and gene abundances and increased gene abundance. The AOB responded to N fertilization more sensitively than the AOA. Total NO emissions significantly correlated positively with AOB and gene abundances while having a negative correlation with gene abundance and the / ratio across N-fertilized plots. In summary, we conclude that organic manure substitution for inorganic N fertilizer decreased soil NO emissions primarily by changing the soil NO-N, pH and DOC levels, thus inhibiting the activities of ammonia oxidation in nitrification and nitrite reduction in denitrification, and strengthening NO reduction in denitrification from water-saving rice paddies.

Persistent overcast rain was an essential limiting factor for summer maize production, of which immediate impact was the dual pressure of waterlogging and shading. However, the mechanism of independent and combined effects of waterlogging and shading induced maize yield losses are rarely studied, especially at different growth stages. Denghai 605 (DH605) was selected to be subjected shading, waterlogging, and their combined stress at the 3rd leaf stage (V3), the 6th leaf stage (V6), and tasseling stage (VT). Results showed that shading, waterlogging and their combination significantly limited the expansion of leaf area, and decreased leaf net photosynthetic rate () and net assimilation rate (NAR), thus reducing the crop growth rate (CGR) and biomass accumulation. At the same time, compared to control, the process of lignin synthesis was inhibited under stressed treatment, resulting in reduced stem mechanical strength and a poor development of the vascular system, of which change significantly reduced efficiency of assimilate remobilization to the ear and ultimately grain yield. The most significant effects of waterlogging and combined stresses on yield were occurred at V3 stage, followed by the V6 and VT stages. The most significant effects of shading were occurred at VT stage, followed by the V6 and V3 stages. Moreover, the compound stress exacerbated the damage brought about by a single stress. It is predicted that climate change will increase the frequency of abiotic stress assemblages, and the results of these findings provide some direction for further research on maize breeding in summer maize under continuous rainy conditions in the future.

However, the mechanism of independent and combined effects of waterlogging and shading induced maize yield losses are rarely studied, especially at different growth stages. Denghai 605 (DH605) was selected to be subjected shading, waterlogging, and their combined stress at the 3rd leaf stage (V3), the 6th leaf stage (V6), and tasseling stage (VT). Results showed that shading, waterlogging and their combination significantly limited the expansion of leaf area, and decreased leaf net photosynthetic rate () and net assimilation rate (NAR), thus reducing the crop growth rate (CGR) and biomass accumulation. At the same time, compared to control, the process of lignin synthesis was inhibited under stressed treatment, resulting in reduced stem mechanical strength and a poor development of the vascular system, of which change significantly reduced efficiency of assimilate remobilization to the ear and ultimately grain yield. The most significant effects of waterlogging and combined stresses on yield were occurred at V3 stage, followed by the V6 and VT stages.
