Pressure-anisotropy-mediated Helical Dynamo in Turbulent Collisionless Plasmas by Z. H. Zhao, W. Q. Yuan, L. X. Li, X. W. Zhu, X. X. Jin, S. P. Zhu, X. T. He, B. Qiao

“…By means of theoretical modeling that includes indispensable kinetic effects and fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulation that contains sufficient scale separation, we self-consistently show that the collisionless large-scale dynamo is quite efficient and the system-scale coherent fields can be generated from kinetic-scale seeds under a turbulent helical drive. We find that, by triggering kinetic mirror and firehose instabilities, the pressure anisotropy—a kinetic effect that is unresolved in conventional magnetohydrodynamics—is the key physics that produces net magnetic helicity that can be inversely transferred to large scales. …”

PEA (PISUM L.) ACCESSIONS DIFFER IN THE STAGE OF FLOWER DEVELOPMENT BEST FOR POLLINATION by O. E. Kosterin, V. S. Bogdanova

“…In order to optimize artificial pollination in various pea species and subspecies, the efficiency of artificial pollination was analyzed in eight accessions belonging to Pisum fulvum, Pisum sativum ssp. elatius (wild), P. abyssinicum, and P. sativum ssp. sativum (cultivated). Mean numbers of seeds per flower pollinated with its own pollen were determined in three pollination methods: 1) immediately after bud castration before anther dehiscence, 2) after the dehiscence of a flower castrated at the same stage (delayed pollination), and 3) double pollination as in methods (1) and (2). …”
