Without the nitrogen-fixing bacteria, for example, plants would starve for want of nitrogen, though they are surrounded by nitrogen-containing air.
For example, plants and other autotrophs (primary producers) convert only a fraction of the enormous amount of solar energy they have access to into food energy.
For example, plants in the cabbage family contain sulfur-containing compounds that act as sign stimuli for insects that habitually feed on only these plants.
For example, plants are classified within the supergroup Archaeplastida, alongside some examples of unicellular algae, and the animals and fungi are classified within the supergroup Opisthokonta, along with single-celled choanoflagellates.
Here are some examples, with example plants: Ingestion can cause gastrointestinal problems (bird of paradise, love-in-a-mist); handling for a long time can damage skin (chrysanthemum, asparagus); chewing makes the mouth and throat swell (jack-in-the-pulpit, Virginia creeper).
For example, plants in the cabbage family (crucifers) are characterized by a class of compounds called glucosinolates, and some crucifer-feeding insects have cells that respond only to glucosinolates, often exhibiting greatest sensitivity to the specific glucosinolates that occur in their normal hosts.
The effectiveness of the method is verified by simulation application to SISO and MIMO example plants.
For example, plants are hard to digest, so herbivores have many molars for chewing.

As an application of this procedure, two different example plants are introduced and some simulation and reachability results shown.
The resulting design method that relies on a recently devised genetic/interval algorithm is tested by designirzg low-order controllers for two example plants.
