Partitioning the phenotypic and genetic variances of reaction norms by de Villemereuil, Pierre, Chevin, Luis-Miguel

“…Here, we propose a partitioning of phenotypic variance across genotypes and environments that jointly address these challenges. We start by distinguishing the components of phenotypic variance arising from the average reaction norm across genotypes, genetic variation in reaction norms (with additive and non-additive components), and a residual that cannot be predicted from the genotype and the environment. …”

Development of a Komagataella phaffii cell factory for sustainable production of ( +)-valencene by Jintao Cheng, Jiali Chen, Dingfeng Chen, Baoxian Li, Chaozhi Wei, Tao Liu, Xiao Wang, Zhengshun Wen, Yuanxiang Jin, Chenfan Sun, Guiling Yang

“…Finally, we optimized the copy number of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase and ( +)-valencene synthase fusion protein, and when the copy number reached three, the yield of ( +)-valencene achieved 173.6 mg/L in shake flask level, which was 82-fold higher than that of the starting strain CaVAL1. Conclusions The results obtained here suggest that K. phaffii has the potential to efficiently synthesize other terpenoids.…”

Economic–Energy–Environmental Optimization of a Multi-Energy System in a University District by Luca Bacci, Enrico Dal Cin, Gianluca Carraro, Sergio Rech, Andrea Lazzaretto

“…This paper considers a university district consisting of 32 buildings where electrical demand is currently met by the national grid, and 31% of thermal demand is supplied by a centralized heating station through a district heating network; the remainder is covered by small, dedicated boilers. Starting from the present system, the goal is to identify “retrofit” design solutions to reduce cost, environmental impact, and the primary energy consumption of the district. …”
