Some full-sun plants,like tomatoesor lavender, prefer direct sun that reaches their leaves without interruption. They are adapted to withstand the intensity of hot afternoon sun directly on their leaves. Other full-sun plants, like basil, aloe vera, ormany tropical houseplants, still enjoy six-p...
Aster’s showy display lasts well into fall as other blooming plants fade. Bees and butterflies appreciate the late-season blooms, too. Asters prefer consistently moist, organically rich soils. Allow full sun, good air circulation, and thin out stems in summer if density inhibits airflow. These...
Due to the shape of the flowers, it is often called a summer snapdragon and is one of the best flowering plants for full sun. This lovely heat-resistant plant is usually grown as an annual, and the flowers are available in blue, green, orange, pink, red, white, and yellow colors. 13...
The exclusion of ambient aerosols changes the water relations of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and bean (Vicia faba) plants. Environ Exp Bot. 2013;88:43–52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envexpbot.2011.12.031. Article CAS Google Scholar Lutts S, Kinet JM, Bouharmont J. Changes in plant...
Three germinated seeds per accession were sown in a sand:peat mixture (1:1, w/w) in a 15 cm2 plastic pot. At 7 days post germination, plants were thinned to one plant per pot to maximize light distribution. The growth chamber was maintained at 20 ºC with a photoperiod of 14 h ...
The specific leaf area increased in all strains; total plant carbon per unit leaf area increased in FB2, FT1, and EB6-treated plants; and the leaf area ratio increased in all strains except FB2 (Table S5). Root dry Matter and Morphological Traits Strain FTSA2 considerably lowered root ...
Ponytail palms need bright light, so plan to grow plants in the sunniest room of the house, near the window but not directly in the sun. They tolerate dry

Given that plants interact with a myriad of microorganisms at the roots, resulting in unique rhizosphere microbial associations that respond to environmental conditions [23], we hypothesized that when drought tolerance...
Eriophyoid mites (Eriophyoidea) are among the largest groups in the Acariformes; they are strictly phytophagous. The higher-level phylogeny of eriophyoid mites, however, remains unresolved due to the limited number of available morphological characters—
