Brassinosteroids (BRs) are important hormones that play crucial roles in plant growth, reproduction, and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. CYP85A1 is a castasterone (CS) synthase that catalyzes C-6 oxidation of 6-deoxocastasterone (6-deoxoCS) to CS, after which CS is converted into brassinolide (BL) in a reaction catalyzed by CYP85A2. Here, we report the functional characteristics of rice (Oryza sativa L.) OsCYP85A1. Constitutive expression of OsCYP85A1 driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter increased endogenous BR levels and significantly promoted growth and biomass production in three groups of transgenic Populus tomentosa lines. The plant height and stem diameter of the transgenic poplar plants were increased by 17.6% and 33.6%, respectively, in comparison with control plants. Simultaneously, we showed that expression of OsCYP85A1 enhanced xylem formation in transgenic poplar without affecting cell wall thickness or the composition of cellulose. Our findings suggest that OsCYP85A1 represents a potential target candidate gene for engineering fast-growing trees with improved wood production.

An improved key expansion method is proposed to improve the security performance in AES key expansion. There is large difference of operation time between Mixcolumns and Inverse Mixcolumns, we propose the simplest form of MixColumn and InvMixColumn operation on finite field \(GF(2^{N})\) which consumes same computing resources in the process of encryption and decryption. In terms of the defection of RSA operation efficiency, traditional double prime number is replaced by four prime number, Chinese remainder theorem combined with Montgomery modular multiplication is also presented to optimize modular exponentiation. On this basis, we adopt message digest, digital signature, digital envelope and other technologies to build a mixed encryption system which encompasses convenient key management and high-efficiency encryption and decryption, combined with the advantages of AES and RSA. The experimental results show that optimized algorithm has high speed and feasibility.

Due to the rapid development of the Internet, the network video surveillance technology has been widely implemented to overcome the geographical constraints in the network by monitoring the target in any place. There may be some problems when the Internet providing convenience because it’s available to global users. For example, video reveal may happen in some situations, which is a threaten to government and national security. So encryption network video surveillance research is imperative. The purpose of this paper is to protect the security of network video surveillance information, and to prevent the useful information from being intercepted and stolen by criminals.
