Degradation of MONOCULM 1 by APC/CTAD1 regulates rice tillering

A rice tiller is a specialized grain-bearing branch that contributes greatly to grain yield. The MONOCULM 1 (MOC1) gene is the first identified key regulator controlling rice tiller number; however, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here we report a novel rice gene, Tillering and Dwarf 1 (TAD1), which encodes a co-activator of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C), a multi-subunit E3 ligase. Although the elucidation of co-activators and individual subunits of plant APC/C involved in regulating plant development have emerged recently, the understanding of whether and how this large cell-cycle machinery controls plant development is still very limited. Our study demonstrates that TAD1 interacts with MOC1, forms a complex with OsAPC10 and functions as a co-activator of APC/C to target MOC1 for degradation in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. Our findings uncovered a new mechanism underlying shoot branching and shed light on the understanding of how the cell-cycle machinery regulates plant architecture

EmbedCloud – Design and Implementation Method of Distributed Embedded Systems

Part 6: Embedded SystemsInternational audienceThis paper presents a novel design and implementation methodology of the distributed embedded systems, called EmbedCloud. It defines structured implementation model for each module in the system. EmbedCloud forms the basis for the automatic code generation algorithm of the distributed embedded systems which accelerates and simplifies synthesis process of such systems. The EmbedCloud utilizes CloudBus protocol demonstrated in previous publications, which provides a process synchronization and control mechanism for a number of processing units distributed in a network. The CloudBus protocol allows to significant savings in the amount of transmitted data between end modules in the distributed embedded system, especially when compared with the other protocols used in the industry. To verify and evaluate the performance of the EmbedCloud, a concurrent process was described using Petri nets. Hardware tests and synthesis verification of the distributed embedded system was performed on the testing platform built with AVR, ATmega series microcontrollers. The tests confirmed the correctness of the developed source code and EmbedCloud method. Furthermore, resource requirements and reaction time analysis were performed
