- Abstract
Temporal associative learning binds discontiguous conditional stimuli (CSs) and unconditional stimuli (USs), possibly by maintaining CS information in the hippocampus after its offset. Yet, how learning regulates such maintenance of CS information in hippocampal circuits remains largely unclear. Using the auditory trace fear conditioning (TFC) paradigm, we identify a projection from the CA1 to the subiculum critical for TFC. Deep-brain calcium imaging shows that the peak of trace activity in the CA1 and subiculum is extended toward the US and that the CS representation during the trace period is enhanced during learning. Interestingly, such plasticity is consolidated only in the CA1, not the subiculum, after training. Moreover, CA1 neurons, but not subiculum neurons, increasingly become active during CS-and-trace and shock periods, respectively, and correlate with CS-evoked fear retrieval afterward. These results indicate that learning dynamically enhances stimulus information maintenance in the CA1-subiculum circuit during learning while storing CS and US memories primarily in the CA1 area. [Display omitted] • Both CA1 and subiculum maintain stimulus information in the post-stimulus trace periods • The CA1-to-subiculum projection is critical for temporal associative learning • Continuous learning promotes a better and longer maintenance of stimulus information • Learning-induced plasticity is primarily consolidated in CA1 but not subiculum Using miniscope Ca
2+ imaging and optogenetics in behaving mice, Bai et al. demonstrate a learning-induced plasticity of stimulus information maintenance in the CA1 and subiculum. Such plasticity results in enhanced and prolonged maintenance of stimulus information and is critical for the formation of temporal associative memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Waterlogging stress is an increasing threat to cotton production worldwide. The use of cultivation measures to combat waterlogging stress is a promising approach. As a traditional cultural practice, ridge intertillage is usually conducted before flowering to form a ridge along a row and a furrow between two rows in order to reduce lodging and control weeds in cotton fields. However, it is unclear whether ridge intertillage can alleviate waterlogging stress in field-grown cotton. Flat and ridge intertillage were conducted at 10 days after squaring of cotton to establish flat and ridge–furrow configurations, respectively, with or without 10-d waterlogging. To determine effects of intertillage pattern on mitigating waterlogging stress, changes in rhizosphere bacterial communities and plant physiological parameters were examined in waterlogged cotton. Compared with flat tillage, ridge intertillage significantly decreased hydrogen peroxide production, malonaldehyde content, and alcohol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase activities in both roots and leaves of waterlogged cotton but significantly increased nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations, leaf area, and plant biomass. Compared with flat intertillage under waterlogging (FIW), ridge intertillage under waterlogging (RIW) changed the abundance and composition of rhizosphere bacterial communities. In addition, several taxa of bacteria with beneficial functions were enriched in the rhizosphere under ridge intertillage. Pearson correlations indicated that changes in rhizosphere bacteria and plant physiological parameters in waterlogged cotton were significantly correlated (P < 0.05), suggesting that adjustments in rhizosphere bacterial communities were involved in the physiological response to waterlogging stress. Moreover, compared with FIW, RIW increased canopy photosynthesis and lint yield of waterlogged cotton by 51.5% and 18.3%, respectively, and decreased lint yield loss by 61.3%. Compared with flat intertillage, ridge intertillage induced adjustments in rhizosphere bacterial communities, reduced oxidative membrane damage, improved nutrient uptake and canopy photosynthesis, and ultimately reduced the stress damage and yield loss of waterlogged cotton. Ridge intertillage before flowering is a promising agronomic measure to combat waterlogging stress in cotton and possibly other major field crops. • Ridge intertillage produced ridge-furrow configuration by piling up the topsoil to cotton plants base before flowering. • Effects of flat and ridge intertillage on waterlogged cotton were compared. • Ridge intertillage adjusted rhizosphere microbe and nutrient uptake of waterlogged cotton. • The adjustments induced a set of physiological changes and reduced the yield loss of waterlogged cotton.

Basal and topdressing split application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is widely used in cotton in many cotton-growing countries, including China. Recently, in the Yellow River valley of China, one-off basal application of N fertilizer has been applied to meet the challenge of increasing labor costs. However, how one-off basal application of N fertilizer affects cotton yields and N use efficiency and by what mechanisms are not clear. Therefore, an experiment was conducted using full-season (K836) and short-season (LM532) cotton cultivars in a moderate fertility field in the Yellow River valley in 2019 and 2020. A split-plot design was established for each variety with the main plots assigned to a mulching pattern (with or without plastic film mulching) and the subplots assigned to an N rate (0 or 195 kg N ha−1, abbreviated as N0 and N195). Cotton yield and yield components, biomass accumulation and distribution, and total N and 15N absorption and utilization were determined each year. Compared with N0, one-off basal application of N fertilizer (N195) did not increase boll density, boll weight, lint percentage or seedcotton yield regardless of cultivar or mulching. Biomass and total N uptake of cotton increased significantly in N195 compared with N0, but the increases occurred primarily in vegetative organs, leading to reductions in the harvest index and N yield efficiency index. With one-off basal application of N fertilizer, more than 80 % of the N in cotton plants derived from soil. Approximately 28 % of 15N-labeled urea was absorbed by cotton plants, of which only approximately 35 % was used in forming seedcotton yield. Therefore, cotton plants with one-off basal application of N fertilizer only recovered a small amount of fertilizer N, and even less of the fertilizer N was used in yield formation. As a result, the harvest index of cotton decreased, and thus, one-off basal application of N fertilizer failed to increase seedcotton yield. Cultivar and plastic film mulching did not alter the effects of one-off basal application of N fertilizer. Therefore, although one-off basal application of N fertilizer in cotton is a labor-saving approach, it should not be encouraged in moderate fertility soil in the Yellow River valley or other areas with similar ecology. • One-off basal N application did not increase the seedcotton yield compared with no-N fertilization. • One-off N application led to a low proportion of plant N derived from 15N and even less for yield formation. • Both N uptake and N distribution to vegetative organs was improved by one-off basal N application. • Cultivar and plastic mulching did not alter the effects of one-off basal application of N fertilizer.

Abstract: The inhibitory activity of base-modified SAH analogues and the specificity of inhibiting human DNMT1 and DNMT3b2 enzymes was explored. The 6-amino group was essential while the 7-N of the adenine ring of SAH could be replaced by CH– without loss of activity against both enzymes. The introduction of small groups at the 2-position of the adenine moiety favors DNMT1 over DNMT3b2 inhibition whereas alkylation of the N 6-amino moiety favors the inhibition of DNMT3b2 enzyme.

Abstract: Potent SAH analogues with constrained homocysteine units have been designed and synthesized as inhibitors of human DNMT enzymes. The five membered (2S,4S)-4-mercaptopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid, in 1a, was a good replacement for homocysteine, while the corresponding six-member counterpart was less active. Further optimization of 1a, changed the selectivity profile of these inhibitors. A Chloro substituent at the 2-position of 1a, compound 1d, retained potency against DNMT1, while N6 alkylation, compound 7a, conserved DNMT3b2 activity. The concomitant substitutions of 1a at both 2- and N6 positions reduced activity against both enzymes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

PLANT spacing , *COTTON , *SPECIFIC gravity , *PLANTS , *CHEMICAL yield , *SEED yield , *COTTON growing - Abstract
Manual removal of the main-stem growth tip is traditionally used to break the apical dominance of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Chemical topping with plant growth regulators also effectively inhibits apical dominance. However, the effect of chemical topping on yield increases and whether plant density or ecological conditions affect its efficacy are unclear. Therefore, a three-year field experiment with a split-plot design was conducted to determine the effects of plant topping, plant density, and their interactions on cotton yield and related physiological and agronomical parameters at three sites with different ecological conditions in China. In each site, the main plots were assigned low, moderate, or high plant density and the subplots were assigned no topping, manual topping, or chemical topping. Growth, yield, yield components, earliness, and late-season leaf photosynthesis as well as labor and material inputs were examined each year. Compared with no topping, both chemical and manual topping greatly reduced plant height at all sites. Manual topping increased seed cotton yield and earliness in all tested plant densities and sites. However, plant density but not ecological condition greatly mediated the effect of chemical topping on yield. At low plant density, the yields with chemical topping were 4–6% lower than those with no topping and 5.5–10.8% lower than those with manual topping at the three sites. Although yields with chemical topping were comparable with those of manual topping at moderate and high plant densities, they were 8.6–12.8% higher at moderate density and 13.8–16.4% higher at high plant density than those with no topping across years and sites. Averaged across the sites, chemical topping reduced biological yield by 12.7% at low plant density. Although biological yield decreased slightly, chemical and manual topping increased the harvest index by 12.4% and 13.3% at moderate density and by 15.6% and 17.4% at high density, respectively. In comparison with no topping, the reduction in seed cotton yield with chemical topping at low plant density was attributed to insufficient biological yield, whereas the increase in yield at moderate and high plant densities was mainly due to greater partitioning of assimilates to reproductive tissues. Compared with manual topping, chemical topping produced 23.2% lower net returns as a result of lower seed cotton yield at low plant density but produced 8.1% and 20.9% higher net returns at moderate and high plant densities, respectively, because of savings in labor inputs and comparable seed cotton yields. In addition, chemical topping increased the earliness percentage compared with that of no topping. Overall, this study demonstrates that chemical topping is a promising alternative to traditional manual topping under moderate or high cotton plant density. • Manual topping increased cotton yield regardless of plant densities and ecological conditions relative to non-topping. • Chemical topping decreased yield at low plant density relative to non-topping because of greater biomass reduction. • Chemical topping increased cotton yield at moderate and high plant densities via greater assimilates partitioning to fruits. • Chemical topping could replace manual topping at moderate and high plant densities without ecological dependence.
