Chronic constipation is a prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder accompanied with intestinal dysbiosis. However, causal relationship between dysbiosis and remains poorly understood. Serotonin transporter (SERT) transmembrane transport protein which re-uptakes excessive 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) from effective location to terminate its physiological effects involves in regulating motility. In this study, fecal microbiota patients healthy controls were transplanted into the antibiotic...
ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that a cause of clinically significant nosocomial infections. Increasingly, clinical isolates A. are extensively resistant to numerous antibiotics, and the use polymyxin antibiotics against these infections often final treatment option. Historically, polymyxins have been thought kill bacteria through membrane lysis. Here, we present alternative mechanism based on data demonstrating induce rapid cell death hydroxyl radical...
An essential ecosystem service is the dilution effect of biodiversity on disease severity, yet we do not fully understand how this relationship might change with continued climate warming and degradation. We designed removal experiments in natural assemblages Tibetan alpine meadow vegetation by manipulating plot-level plant diversity to investigate between different indices foliar fungal pathogen infection, artificial fertilization affect relationship. Although group increased host species...
The artificial fertilization of soils can alter the structure natural plant communities and exacerbate pathogen emergence transmission. Although direct effects on disease resistance in plants have received some research attention, its indirect altered community severity fungal infection remain largely uninvestigated. We designed manipulation experiments assemblages Tibetan alpine meadow vegetation along a nitrogen-fertilization gradient over 5 years to compare relative importance foliar...
Abstract Light asymmetry, with a higher light acquisition per unit biomass for larger plants, has been proposed as major mechanism of species loss after nitrogen addition. However, solid evidence this scarce. We measured the allometric size‐height relationships 25 plant along addition gradient manipulated annually eight years in speciose alpine meadow and found that positive relationship between relative abundance height scaling exponent natural conditions disappeared Those lower exponents...
Samples of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were collected during July 2009 to March 2010 at a regional background site in East China. The mass concentrations organic carbon (OC) and elemental (EC) characterized by the highest levels winter (December February) lowest abundances summer (June August). Conversely, levoglucosan higher than winter. observations associated anthropogenic air pollutions (predominantly fossil-fuel combustions) transport from center north China with northwest winds...
Biodiversity is thought to help regulate the impacts of disease through dilution effect, where biodiversity among potential host species helps limit pathogens. However, our knowledge fragmentary about direction and magnitude effects plant richness on impact. Here, we gathered data from 145 comparisons presented in 21 papers conduct a systematic meta‐analysis effect aboveground We estimated size using Pearson's correlation coefficient ( r ) with Fisher's z ‐transformation. evaluated how...
Summary The effects of global change on semi‐natural and agro‐ecosystem functioning have been studied extensively. However, less well understood is how will influence fungal diseases, especially in a natural ecosystem. We use data from 6‐yr factorial experiment with warming (simulated using infrared heaters) altered precipitation treatments Tibetan alpine meadow ecosystem, which we tested foliar diseases at the population community levels, evaluated importance direct community‐mediated...
The Anthropocene is defined by human‐driven environmental change, with one consequence being the modern dramatic decline in biodiversity globally. This especially worrisome given long‐acknowledged causal linkage between and ecosystem functioning delivery of services. However, exact mechanisms driving biodiversity–ecosystem function (BEF) relationships remain unclear, specifically linkages species differences, measured trait phylogenetic distances, how interactions, such as competitive...
Grazing exclusion by fencing is a commonly used management practice for restoring the degraded alpine grasslands on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). However, there currently no consensus how grazing influences plant productivity and community structure in this region. Here, meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively assess impacts of biomass (aboveground biomass, AGB; belowground BGB; total TB) various diversity indices (species richness, Shannon-Wiener index, Pielou evenness index) QTP....
Carbon and nitrogen (C/N) metabolism allocation within the plant have important implications for plant-parasite interactions. Many parasites manipulate host by inducing C/N changes that benefit their own survival growth. Plant resistance can prevent this parasite manipulation. We used wheat-Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) system to analyze in plants during compatible incompatible The Hessian is an insect but shares many features with pathogens, being sessile feeding stages having...
