To infect host cells, Salmonella utilizes an intricate system to manipulate the actin cytoskeleton and promote bacterial uptake. Proteins injected into cell by activate Rho GTPases, Rac1 Cdc42, induce polymerization. Following uptake, a different set of proteins inactivates returning normal. Although signaling pathways allowing invade cells are beginning be understood, many contributing factors remain elucidated. IQGAP1 is multidomain protein that influences numerous cellular functions,...
Abstract Solutions are urgently needed to address the continued degradation of agricultural soils worldwide, which has severely impacted ability grow crops and led increased irrigation demand from already rapidly depleting freshwater resources. This project evaluated a unique, previously untested, type soil organic amendment, that is, coarse wood chips, for capturing storing scarce precipitation improving desertified, sandy soils. A field plot experiment was conducted in Ningxia, China, 2011...
Addition of organic amendments has been commonly adopted as a means to restore degraded soils globally. More recently, the use woody recognized viable method capturing and retaining water restoring desertified soil, especially in semi-arid regions. However, impacts on soil microbial community structure, versus other traditional supplements is less understood.Three locally available natural materials different qualities, i.e., cow manure (CM), corn straw (CS), chipped poplar branches (PB)...
Sugarcane yield in China is low because of the shallow A-horizon soil layer, or as it commonly called by farmers, “plow layer”, well organic matter and fertilizer utilization efficiency. Fenlong-ridging deep tillage (FT), also vertical rotary tillage, amendment with biochar have been shown to improve quality crop yield. In this study, field trials were conducted newly planted ratoon sugarcane evaluate effectiveness FT, together nitrogen fertilization, The treatments conventional chemical...
The long-term use of wetlands stresses wetland ecosystems and leads to degradation C loss. This study explored an optimal remote sensing-multivariate linear regression model (RS-MLRM) for estimating soil organic carbon (SOC) by using a combination the measured SOC above ground biomass (AGB) from 273 samples, textural features, spectral information, vegetation index calculated Landsat-8 images Ningxia Basin Yellow River as area. To derive predictor SOC, these variables were regressed against...
Desertification reversal is globally significant for the sustainable development of land resources. However, mechanisms desertification at level plant community are still unclear. We hypothesized that has clear effects on composition, functional types (PFTs), and other vegetation characteristics, including diversity biomass, their changes in early stages more dramatic than later stages. investigated four to five different each seven large study sites southwestern Mu Us Sandy Land, China. The...
The effects of reseeded native Gramineae and Leguminosae species on the multifunctionality desert steppe have remained unclear. Therefore, we examined a semiarid that was 5 years earlier with dominant species, Agropyron mongolicum ; Lespedeza potaninii 1:1 mixture A. × L. . We evaluated changes in plant communities soil properties then quantified aboveground ecosystem (AEMF), belowground (BEMF), overall (EMF) using an averaging approach. Compared without reseeding, both increased fine root...
ABSTRACT Drylands present a significant challenge to global agricultural production, especially in dryland saline‐sodic soils, which are marked by poor structure and low infiltrability. Enhancing the infiltration capacity of these soils is crucial for enhancing soil health optimizing land‐use efficiency. However, few studies have been conducted improve physical enhance water storage through waste. This study aims evaluate effectiveness cattle manure amendments improving related properties...
Known as a high quality forage grass, Achnatherum splendens distributes in the northwest of China, northeast, Inner Mongolia, shanxi and hebei provinces. In this study, we assembled complete chloroplast (cp) genome A. using data from high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The cp is 136,876 bp size includes two inverted repeat regions 21,639 each, which separated by large single copy region 80,958 small 12,640 bp. A total 130 genes were predicted, including 38 tRNA, 8 rRNA, 84 protein-coding...
Context Although nitrogen (N) deposition application has resulted in excess N entering grassland ecosystems, our understanding of how short-term enrichment affects soil microbial community a desert steppe is incomplete. Aims This study assessed the effects 2 years addition on structure and function at depth 0–10 cm steppe. Methods Six rates (equivalent to 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 40 g m−2 year−1) were applied northern China, 16S rRNA ITS1 genes sequenced for prokaryotic fungal communities,...
Wood chips, together with crop straw and manure, were demonstrated as feasible amendments for improving overall soil health enhancing plant growth in severely desertified areas Northern China our previous studies. However, the effects of their mixtures are unclear. In this study, we evaluated effect three different amendment materials, when used alone combination, on physical, chemical, biological properties associated alfalfa Ningxia, China.
