Table_1_Genomic Predictions With Nonadditive Effects Improved Estimates of Additive Effects and Predictions of Total Genetic Values in Pinus sylvestris.XLSX by Ainhoa Calleja-Rodriguez (9649625)

“…Nonadditive genetic variation of epistatic nature (additive × additive) was detected for growth traits, wood density (DEN), and modulus of elasticity (MOEd) representing between 2.27 and 34.5% of the total phenotypic variance. Including dominance variance in pedigree-based Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (PBLUP) and epistatic variance in genomic-based Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (GBLUP) resulted in decreased narrow-sense heritability and increased broad-sense heritability for growth traits, DEN and MOEd. …”

Light-Driven Bending Crystals of Salicylidenephenylethylamines in Enantiomeric and Racemate Forms by Hideko Koshima (1825630)

“…The reversible bending of the achiral enol-(<i>rac</i>)-<b>1</b> crystal could be repeated over 100 times, while the tip displacement angles of the chiral enol-(<i>S</i>)-<b>1</b> and enol-(<i>R</i>)-<b>1</b> crystals gradually decreased with repeated cycles. In situ X-ray measurements revealed that the bending motion of the chiral and achiral crystals was caused by a slight shrinkage of the <i>a</i> and <i>b</i> axes of the unit cell, respectively, corresponding to the long axis of the platelike crystals; shrinkage was induced by the shape change of component salicylidenephenylethylamine molecules upon photoinduced proton transfer. …”
