Sunstroke plants or heliophytes are adapted to a

meadows, as well as at the mountain pastures and grasslands and other long sunny exposures.[1][2]

Special features of the plant include coarse tiny

ROS to avoid toxic effects. In addition, there are also stoma tal apparatus on the leaves and green shoots, in order to allow a better exchange of gases. At same time, this increases possibilities for photosynthesis.[3][4]

Unlike the shadow-preferring plants, heliophytes have a high

light compensation point, and for this they need a higher illumination intensity for effective adoption of carbon dioxide
. Sunstroke leaves, in this respect, has a very high capacity, to .

However, they have a higher

comparing to the other leaves.
