Are sun plants the same as C4 plants?
No, sun plants and C4 plants are not the same. Sun plants are those that require full sunlight for optimal growth, while C4 plants are a specific type of plant that has adapted to hot and dry conditions by using a specialized photosynthetic pathway. This pathway allows C4 plants to efficiently capture and use carbon dioxide, making them more efficient in hot and dry environments compared to other types of plants. While some sun plants may also be C4 plants, not all sun plants are C4 plants and vice versa.

Gender Differences in Technology and Innovation Management : Insights from Experimental Research
Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation, numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions.According to the latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not yet led to the desired success.Compared to their male counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known about the concrete impact of the above education policies on working with innovation and technology: What are the gender differences between women and men?Is it enough to recognize these differences, or should these differences ideally not only be recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation management against the background of these and other gender-relevant aspects.Empirical analyses and experiments in collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented: How do women and men deal with creativity and competition?How are technologies applied and how can differences in access to technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing differences.

What are early blooming plants and shade plants?
Early blooming plants are those that flower in the early spring, often before the trees have fully leafed out. These plants are important for providing early nectar and pollen for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Shade plants are those that thrive in low light conditions, such as under the canopy of trees or on the north side of a building. These plants have adapted to receive less sunlight and often have larger leaves to capture as much light as possible.
