Data_Sheet_1_Effects of water volume of drip irrigation on soil bacterial communities and its association with soil properties in jujube cultivation.docx
IntroductionJujube is one of an important crop in Xinjiang, China, a area suffered by water scarcity and DI has been proven as a suitable mode for jujube cultivation. Soil bacterial community play a vital role in biogeochemical cycles to support the crop growth, and water content is considered as one of the important factors for them. However, limited research has explored the optimum irrigation strategies, such as water volume of DI, to maximize the benefits of jujube cultivation by regulating the soil bacterial communities.MethodsTherefore, in this study, we conducted DI experiments on jujube fields in Xinjiang with three different water volume levels, and measured the soil properties and bacterial communities of the flowering and fruit setting (FFS) and end of growth (EG) stages.Results and discussionSignificant lower jujube yield and soil available nutrients were observed in samples with low water amount. In addition, we discovered significant effects of the water amount of DI and jujube growth stages on soil bacterial communities. Based on the compare of samples among different growth stages and water amounts some growth stage related bacterial genera (Mycobacterium, Bradyrhizobium, and Bacillus) and water amount-related bacterial phyla (Chloroflexi, Nitrospirota, and Myxococcota) were recognized. Moreover, according to the results of null model, soil bacterial communities were governed by stochastic and deterministic processes under middle and low water volumes of DI, respectively. Finally, we deduced that middle water amount (600 mm) could be the optimal condition of DI for jujube cultivation because the higher jujube yield, deterministic assembly, and stronger correlations between soil properties and bacterial community under this condition. Our findings provide guidance for promoting the application of DI in jujube cultivation, and further research is needed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of soil bacterial community to promote the jujube yield.</p

Dietary Methionine via Dose-Dependent Inhibition of Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production Capacity Contributed to a Potential Risk of Cognitive Dysfunction in Mice
High-methionine diets induce impaired learning and memory
function,
dementia-like neurodegeneration, and Alzheimer’s disease, while
low-methionine diets improve learning and memory function. We speculated
that variations in intestinal microbiota may mediate these diametrically
opposed effects; thus, this study aimed to verify this hypothesis.
The ICR mice were fed either a low-methionine diet (LM, 0.17% methionine),
normal methionine diet (NM, 0.86% methionine), or high-methionine
diet (HM, 2.58% methionine) for 11 weeks. We found that HM diets damaged
nonspatial recognition memory, working memory, and hippocampus-dependent
spatial memory and induced anxiety-like behaviors in mice. LM diets
improved nonspatial recognition memory and hippocampus-dependent spatial
memory and ameliorated anxiety-like behavior, but the differences
did not reach a significant level. Moreover, HM diets significantly
decreased the abundance of putative short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing
bacteria (Roseburia, Blautia, Faecalibaculum, and Bifidobacterium) and
serotonin-producing bacteria (Turicibacter) and significantly
increased the abundance of proinflammatory bacteria Escherichia–Shigella. Of note, LM diets reversed the results. Consequently, the SCFA
and serotonin levels were significantly decreased with HM diets and
significantly increased with LM diets. Furthermore, HM diets induced
hippocampal oxidative stress and inflammation and selectively downregulated
the hippocampus-dependent memory-related gene expression, whereas
LM diets selectively upregulated the hippocampus-dependent memory-related
gene expression. In conclusion, dietary methionine via dose-dependent
inhibition of SCFA production capacity contributed to a potential
risk of cognitive dysfunction in mice
Reactions of Isocyanides with Metal Carbyne Complexes: Isolation and Characterization of Metallacyclopropenimine Intermediates
η<sup>2</sup>-Iminoketenyl species have often been postulated
as the intermediates in nucleophile-induced carbyne–isocyanide
C–C coupling processes. However, such species are elusive.
Here we report direct formation of η<sup>2</sup>-iminoÂketenyl
complexes from reactions of metallaÂpentalyne with isocyanides.
Our studies show that steric effects of N-substituents of the isocyanides
play an important role in the stability of the three-membered metallaÂcycles
of the η<sup>2</sup>-iminoÂketenyl complexes. Sterically
bulky isocyanides, such as <i>tert</i>-butyl or 1-adamantyl
isocyanides, inhibit bending at the isocyanide nitrogen atoms, a requirement
for formation of η<sup>2</sup>-iminoÂketenyl structures.
Reactions of metallaÂpentalyne with excess isocyanide allow the
metal-bridged metallaÂindene derivativesto be isolated as a result
of the isocyanide insertion into the M–C<sub>α</sub> σ
bond of metallaÂpentalyne
Sequential Construction Strategy for Rational Design of Luminescent Iridacycles
A convenient and general strategy
has been developed to synthesize
stable iridapolycycles <b>5</b>–<b>8</b>. Reaction
of arylacetylenes with iridium-hydride complex [IrHÂ(CO)ÂClÂ(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]ÂBF<sub>4</sub> via nucleophilic addition, oxidative
decarbonylation, and C–H bond activation results in the formation
of a series of iridacyclopentadiene derivatives, including benzo-iridacyclopentadiene <b>5</b>, naphtho-iridacyclopentadiene <b>6</b>, pyreno-iridacyclopentadiene <b>7</b>, and thieno-iridacyclopentadiene <b>8</b>. These iridapolycycles
display high thermal and air stability yet can be further functionalized
via facile ligand substitution reactions. As an example, complex <b>5</b> was used as a metallosynthon to react with 2,2′-dipyridyl
to give intensely luminescent IrÂ(III) complex <b>9</b> bearing
one C<sup>∧</sup>C and one N<sup>∧</sup>N ligands. Density
functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the lowest unoccupied
molecular orbitals (LUMOs) of iridapolycycles <b>5</b>–<b>8</b> are located on the phosphonium groups while the highest
occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) are mainly located on the metal-embedded
C<sup>∧</sup>C frameworks. Our method offers a sequential construction
strategy for constructing luminescent iridacycles, which potentially
allows facile tuning of the photoluminescence properties by modulating
the C<sup>∧</sup>C and N<sup>∧</sup>N moieties independently

Dynamic Fluorescence Materials Based on Naphthalimide-Functionalized Silica Aerogels and Applications in Advanced Information Encryption
With the progress of forgery and decryption, the traditional
encryption
technology is apparent not enough, which strongly requires the development
of advanced multidimensional encryption strategies and technologies.
Photo-stimuli responsive fluorescent materials are promising as candidate
materials for advanced information encryption. Here, we have reported
new photo-stimuli responsive materials by encapsulating photochromic
molecules spiropyrans (SPs) into naphthalimide-functionalized silica
aerogels. By introducing different modification groups (dimethylamino)
into 1,8-naphthalimide, we obtained two kinds of silica aerogels that
emit blue and green colors. The naphthalimide-functionalized silica
aerogels/dye composite exhibits a blue (dimethylamino-modified naphthalimide-functionalized
silica aerogel showing green) emission from naphthalimide of silica
aerogels at 450 nm (520 nm) and a red emission around 650 nm of SP.
Under exposure to ultraviolet light, SP gradually transformed into
the merocyanine (MC) form, and a strong absorption band appeared near
540 nm. At that time, the fluorescence resonance energy-transfer (FRET)
process occurred between naphthalimide and the MC isomer. As the irradiation
time is extended, the fluorescence color changes continuously from
blue (green) to red through the FRET process. Using the time dependence
of fluorescence, dynamic encryption patterns and multiple codes were
successfully developed based on these functionalized silica aerogels.
This work has provided important guidance for designing advanced information
encryption materials
