If N input remains constant as noted in 2020 (S3) or decreases by 1% annually (S4), a reduction of up to 52%-67% in carbonates dissolution is expected compared to the BAU. The presence of CaCO3 in the soil is important for various processes including acidity buffering, aggregates formation and stabilization, organic matter stabilization, microbial and enzyme activities, nutrients cycling and availability, and water permeability and plants productivity. Therefore, optimizing N fertilization and improving N use efficiency are important for decreasing SIC losses from acidification. N application should be strictly calculated based on crop demand, and any overfertilization should be avoided to prevent environmental problems and soil fertility decline associated with CaCO3 losses.

Limited data are available for liver function in COVID-19 patients. We aimed to investigate the risk factors related to liver injury in the COVID-19 patients. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in non-ICU Ward at Jinyintan Hospital from February 2, 2020 to February 23, 2020. Consecutively confirmed COVID-19 discharged cases were enrolled. The clinical characteristics of patients with liver injury and without liver injury were compared. Target Protein Ligand chemical RESULTS A total of 79 COVID-19 patients were included. 31.6%, 35.4% and 5.1% COVID-19 patients had elevated levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and bilirubin respectively. Median value of ALT, AST and bilirubin for entire cohort was 36.5 (17.5 ~ 71.5) U/L, 34.5 (25.3 ~ 55.3) U/L and 12.7 (8.1 ~ 15.4) mmol/L respectively. There were no significant differences in age, previous medical history and symptoms between the two groups. Males were more likely to have liver injury when infected with COVID-19 (P  less then  .05); compared with patients without liver injury, patients with liver injury had increased levels of white blood cell counts, neutrophils, CRP and CT score (P  less then  .05) and had a longer length of stay (P  less then  .05). Logistic regression analyses suggested that the extent of pulmonary lesions on CT was a predictor of liver function damage (P  less then  .05). CONCLUSIONS Liver injury is common in non-ICU hospitalized COVID-19 patients. It may be related to systemic inflammation. Intense monitoring and evaluation of liver function in patients with severe pulmonary imaging lesions should be considered. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) is an excellent mutagen induces genome-wide efficient mutations to activate the mutagenic potential of plants with many advantages. The present study established, determined and verified the experimental procedure suitable for EMS based mutant library construction as the general reference guide in allotetraploid upland cotton. This optimized method and procedure are efficient, and abundant EMS mutant library (~12, 000) in allotetraploid cotton were successfully obtained. More than 20 mutant phenotypes were observed and screened, including phenotypes of the leaf, flower, fruit, fiber, and plant architecture. Through the plants mutant library, high throughput and high resolution melting (HRM) technology based variation evaluation detected the EMS induced site mutation. Additionally, based on overall genome-wide mutation analyses by re-sequencing and mutant library assessment, the examination results demonstr
