African swine fever virus(ASFV)has been circulating in China for more than two years,and it is not clear whether the biological properties of the virus have changed.Here,we report on our surveillance of ASFVs in seven provinces of China,from June to December,2020.A total of 22 viruses were isolated and characterized as genotype Ⅱ ASFVs,with mutations,deletions,insertions,or short-fragment replacement occurring in all isolates compared with Pig/HLJ/2018(HLJ/18),the earliest isolate in China.Eleven isolates had four different types of natural mutations or deletion in the EP402R gene and displayed a non-hemadsorbing(non-HAD)phenotype.Four isolates were tested for virulence in pigs;two were found to be as highly lethal as HLJ/18.However,two non-HAD isolates showed lower virulence but were highly transmissible;infection with 106 TCID50 dose was partially lethal and caused acute or sub-acute disease,whereas 103 TCID50 dose caused non-lethal,sub-acute or chronic disease,and persistent infection.The emergence of lower virulent natural mutants brings greater difficulty to the early diagnosis of ASF and creates new challenges for ASFV control.

In small-molecule organic solar cells(SM-OSCs),it remains a big challenge to obtain favorable bulk heterojunction morphology by donor material design.Herein,we design and synthesize three small-molecule donors BPF3T-C4,BPF3T-C6 and BPF3T-C8,with different

Dear Editor,rnMicroRNAs(miRNAs)are endogenous small RNAs(sRNAs)that play crucial regulatory roles in gene expres-sion.In plants,the transcribed primary miRNAs(pri-miR-NAs)are sequentially processed by DICER-LIKE 1(DCL1)into precursor miRNAs(pre-miRNAs),an
