Shade avoidance. Shade avoidance is a set of responses that plants display when they are subjected to the shade of another plant. It often includes elongation, altered flowering time, increased apical dominance and altered partitioning of resources. This set of responses is collectively called the shade-avoidance syndrome (SAS).
Hostas grow best in partial shade and can withstand heavy shade—so Wright recommends planting these big, leafy plants in a dark patio or shielded corner. “Hostas come in various sizes and ...
Aconitum subgenus Lycoctonum(DC.) Peterm. for species see below. Aconitum (/ ˌækəˈnaɪtəm /), [ 2 ] also known as aconite, monkshood, wolfsbane, leopard's bane, devil's helmet, or blue rocket, [ 3 ] is a genus of over 250 species of flowering plants belonging to the family Ranunculaceae.
A fixation disparity is not constant within a certain observer, but can vary depending on the viewing conditions. If test prisms with increasing amount are placed in front of the observer’s eyes, the fixation disparity changes in the eso direction with base-in prisms and in the exo direction with base-out prisms (Fig. 3).
Mimosa pudica (also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, [citation needed] action plant, humble plant, touch-me-not, touch-and-die, or shameplant) [3][2] is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the sensitive compound leaves quickly fold inward and droop ...
Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia.
Nicandra physalodes is a species of flowering plant in subfamily Solanoideae of the nightshade family.It is known by the common names apple-of-Peru [2] and shoo-fly plant.It is thought originally to have been native to western South America, including Peru, and is known elsewhere as an introduced and ruderal species – sometimes as a weed – in tropical, subtropical and, to a lesser extent ...
Specialty. Ophthalmology. Exotropia is a form of strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than exophoria. People with exotropia often experience crossed diplopia. Intermittent exotropia is a fairly common condition. "Sensory exotropia" occurs in the presence ...
