Summary: In this study, three major spoilage bacteria of grass carp were artificially inoculated in amino acid solutions and grass carp flesh to investigate their involvement in amino acid degradation and fish quality deterioration. The results showed that Pseudomonas putida highly degraded free amino acids and produced ammonia in grass carp flesh, while Aeromonas rivi-pollensis produced 3-Methyl-butanol and 2-Methyl-butanol through leucine and isoleucine degradation. Shewa-nella putrefaciens showed potent ornithine-decarboxylation activity and released putrescine. Additionally, when S. putrefaciens cooperated with P. putida, more putrescine was produced through the arginine deiminase pathway. In conclusion, this study provided fundamental information on the spoilage mechanisms of freshwater fish and important guidance for quality control strategies.

Summary: The study revealed the deamination and decarboxylation activities of spoilage microbiota in chill-stored grass carp fillets. It was found that different taste amino acids were affected differently by microbial deamination activities. Additionally, putrescine in fish fillets was mainly produced through microbial decarboxylation activity of ornithine, and spoilage microbiota showed active glucose utilization during the late period of storage.

Summary: Texture of fish is affected by modifications of structural proteins, and this study compared the proteins of grass carp muscle after chilling storage for 0 and 6 days using phosphoproteomics. Totally 1026 unique phosphopeptides on 656 phosphoproteins were identified as differential. They were mainly classified as intracellular myofibril and cytoskeleton, and extracellular matrix, with molecular functions and biological processes related to binding into supramolecular assembly and myofilament contraction. The dephosphorylation of kinases and assembly regulators suggested a tendency of dephosphorylation and disassembly of the sarcomeric architecture. Correlation analysis revealed the relationship between texture and dephosphorylation of myosin light chain, actin, collagen, and cytoskeleton. This study highlights the potential impact of protein phosphorylation on fish muscle texture through the regulation of structural protein assembly.

Summary: This study investigated the cell death mechanisms involved in grass carp reovirus - HH196 (GCRV-HH196) infection using a grass carp ovary cell line (GCO cells). Results showed that GCRV-HH196 infection caused DNA damage, cell volume reduction, and cytoplasm shrinkage. The expression levels of pro-apoptotic genes were up-regulated and caspase proteins involved in apoptosis were activated. Flow cytometry analysis revealed a higher number of apoptotic cells in GCRV-HH196-infected cells compared to control cells. Additionally, autophagy was also involved in the regulation of GCRV-HH196 infection.

Summary: This study proposes a conceptual model to characterize the spatial sprawl pattern of urban clusters using Zipf's law and 30-year time series of global urban extent data. The study reveals different sprawl patterns at different scales, with small urban clusters growing slightly faster than large clusters globally. It also finds that Asia and Africa show equilibrium patterns of sprawl, while other continents mostly exhibit diffuse patterns. The study provides insights into urban development pathways and contributes to the development of future urban growth models.

Summary: Cellular automata (CA) based models are widely used in urban sprawl modeling for sustainable urban planning. However, most existing urban CA models only consider abrupt conversion, ignoring the difference in urbanization levels among grids and the gradual increase in urban densities. In this study, we proposed an impervious surface area (ISA) based urban CA model that can simulate urban fractional change within each grid. The model was implemented in Beijing and evaluated through comparison and scenario analyses. Results showed that the ISA-based urban CA model captures the dynamics of urban sprawl better than the traditional urban CA model and has great potential in supporting sustainable urban development.

Summary: In this study, Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 images were used to estimate corn residue coverage in Northeast China. The optimal combination of spectral indices and textural features, based on soil texture zoning, was used to establish the estimation model for improving accuracy. The results showed that most of the study area had corn residue coverage of 0.3 to 0.6, primarily distributed in the Songnen Plain. Based on the estimated results, implementing conservation tillage practices is crucial for protecting the black soil in Northeast China.

Summary: The accuracy of crop yield estimation is examined through the joint assimilation of leaf area index (LAI) and soil moisture (SM) in this study, along with an analysis of the scale effect between remotely sensed data and crop model simulations. The results demonstrate that yield estimation at a 10 m grid size outperforms that at a 500 m grid size, using the same assimilation strategy. Furthermore, the accuracy of winter wheat yield estimation is higher when using the bivariate data assimilation method compared to the univariate method.

Summary: Ukraine and Russia, as major grain producers and exporters, have a significant impact on the global wheat market. The conflict between the two countries has led to reduced wheat production in Ukraine and disruptions in wheat trade. Analysis shows that the conflict will result in a drop in global wheat trade, soaring prices, and severe food insecurity, particularly for countries heavily reliant on Ukrainian wheat imports. Additionally, the trade blockade caused by the conflict will lead to price increases and welfare declines for affected countries.

Summary: Human activities have exerted significant pressure on the earth's ecosystems, resulting in degradation and carbon losses. This study examined the global human footprint (HFP) and human-induced aboveground biomass carbon (AGBC) losses from 2000 to 2018. The findings show a global increase in HFP, leading to the conversion of wilderness areas into highly modified regions and impacting global biomes' habitats. The study also identified accelerated AGBC loss driven by HFP expansion, particularly in tropical regions. Furthermore, AGBC is more vulnerable in the Global South compared to the Global North. Therefore, scientifically-guided planning of future human activities is crucial for protecting the Earth through mitigation and adaptation.

Summary: Northeast China, as a major grain bank in China, has a significant impact on food security. In order to address the challenges posed by increasing food demands and soil protection, crop rotation and fallowing policies have been implemented. This study utilizes time-series Landsat-8 OLI images and applies an automatic sampling approach using a hexagon strategy and tile-based classification using the random forest algorithm to monitor crop types and their changes in Northeast China. The resulting crop maps exhibit high credibility with overall accuracies ranging from 0.89 to 0.97 and demonstrate good agreement with city-level statistical data. The dataset generated from this study provides reliable long-term crop maps, which can be valuable for food security and regional agricultural production management.

Summary: This study investigates the settlement scaling law in Africa using built-up areas derived from remote sensing data. The results show that the relationship between built-up area and population varies across different regions in Africa, with linear, sub-linear, and super-linear scaling observed. The study also finds that the settlement scaling exponent varies among different countries, and can be explained by factors such as built-up area share, metropolitan population share, GDP per capita, and proportion of slum dwellers.

This study formulates curcumin with zinc acetate to enhance its efficacy, resulting in Cur-Zn with increased antimicrobial activity against multiple food-contaminating bacteria and fungi. With light illumination, the antimicrobial activity of Cur-Zn is further enhanced due to the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) effect.
