Peroxisomes, as essential eukaryotic organelles, are known to be involved in many oxidative metabolic processes including β-oxidative biosynthesis and/or metabolism of plant hormones and their substrates that are less or not known. The small thioesterase (ST) gene family encodes enzymes, called thioesterases that are notably involved in β-oxidative benzoic acid metabolism, as well as the biosynthesis of aromatic compounds and phylloquinone. To delve deeper into the role of these proteins in plant peroxisomes, we conducted an in-silico analysis to identify peroxisomal ST genes in Arabidopsis, focusing on identifying peroxisome-targeting signal peptide.

Haptophyte algae, including coccolithophores, play key roles in global carbon cycling and ecosystem. They exhibit exceptional morphological and functional diversity. However, their phylogeny is mostly based on short markers and genome researches are always limited to few species, hindering a better understanding about their evolution and diversification.

The dynamic modulus is a key property determining the short- and long-term performance of asphalt pavement, and its strong dependence on confining pressure and material density (mixture compactness) has been clearly indicated in the literature. It is always challenging to reproduce three-dimensional in situ stress conditions in the laboratory. To alleviate this difficulty, in this study, a convenient experimental setup was developed, in which the lateral confinement was made present and variable as a concomitant reaction of the surrounding materials to the vertical loading.
