Emulsified asphalt mixtures' cold mix and paving features facilitate asphalt pavements in fulfilling dual-carbon and energy-saving demands. Anionic emulsifiers can enhance emulsion stability, ensure uniform dispersion of oil and water, possess good decompression viscosity, thickening, and lubricating properties, and maintain good stability under acidic conditions. Nevertheless, anionic emulsified asphalt is restricted in engineering applications due to problems like its storage stability.

- The B3 transcription factors (TFs) are important in various plant biological processes, but their specific roles in seed development and substance accumulation are not well understood.
- In the castor bean genome, 61 B3 genes were identified and categorized into five subfamilies, with certain genes showing increased expression during key stages of seed development, hinting at their role in oil storage.
- The study specifically highlights RcLEC2 from the ABI3/VP1 subfamily, which appears to regulate a gene involved in oil-body protein production, indicating its potential role in seed storage material regulation.
A gram-positive and aerobic bacterium, designated strain YIM 49065(T), was isolated from rhizospheric soil of Jatropha curcas in Yunnan, China. This isolate formed branched and fragmented mycelia containing ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The major cellular fatty acid profile was characterized by iso-C(14 : 0), iso-C(15 : 0) and iso-C(16 : 0), and the predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H(4)).
