Some plants go overboard on one type of fringe -- say a liberal retirement plan -- and find themselves vulnerable elsewhere.

Some of the species of Allium are important food plants for example onions ( Allium cepa ), chives ( A. schoenoprasum ), garlic ( A. sativum and A. scordoprasum ), and leeks ( A. porrum ).

Some of the plants are herbs that produce enough scent to possibly dilute the odours of nearby plants, or the pheromones emitted by insects that find those plants, which would otherwise attract more pests.

Some home sewage treatment systems use biological treatment, usually beds of plants and aquaria, that absorb nutrients and bacteria and convert greywater and sewage to clear water.

Some examples of cruciferous food plants are the cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, turnip, rapeseed, mustard, radish, horseradish, cress, wasabi, and watercress.

Some other organisms form beneficial relationships with plants, called mutualisms, for example with mycorrhizal fungi that provide nutrients, and honey bees that pollinate flowers.

Some plants reproduce sexually, some asexually, and some via both means.

Some beers today, such as Fraoch by the Scottish Heather Ales company and Cervoise Lancelot by the French Brasserie-Lancelot company, use plants other than hops for flavouring.

Some Mahayana Buddhists in China, Japan and Vietnam specifically avoid eating strong-smelling plants, traditionally garlic, Allium chinense, asafoetida, shallot, and mountain leek, and refer to these as wǔ hūn ( 五荤, or ' Five Acrid and Strong-smelling Vegetables ') or wǔ xīn ( 五辛 or ' Five Spices ') as they tend to excite senses.

Some plants of the completely unrelated genus Viburnum are sometimes inaccurately called " highbush cranberries " ( Viburnum trilobum ).

Some are non-specialist detritus feeders, breaking down animal and plant debris ; some feed on particular kinds of carrion such as flesh or hide ; some feed on wastes such as dung ; some feed on fungi, some on particular species of plants, others on a wide range of plants.

: Some of the indicator plants of the California chaparral and woodlands ecoregion include:

Some lineages of eukaryotes do not have centrioles anymore, for example land plants.

Some carnivorous plants, such as pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes, obtain nourishment from the feces of commensal animals.

Some plants and animals thought to be extinct on surrounding islands can still be found in Dominica's forests.

Some South American plants formerly thought of as Daturas are now treated as belonging to the distinct genus Brugmansia ( Brugmansia differs from Datura in that it is woody, making shrubs or small trees, and in that it has pendulous flowers, rather than erect ones ).

Some food is obtained directly from plants ; but even animals that are used as food sources are raised by feeding them food derived from plants.

Some specialists recommend using seaweed mulch or spray on the plants and minimize the insect habitat by cleaning the garden area of debris and weeds.

Some plants have pest repelling properties or draw beneficial insects to the garden.

Some scientists hope that the approval process of cisgenic plants might be simpler than that of proper transgenics, but it remains to be seen.

Some flowers are functionally staminate ( where a pistil may be present but has no ovules capable of being fertilized ) while others are functionally pistillate ( where stamens are present but their anthers do not produce viable pollen ).

Some astronomers endeavoured to explain this by parallax, but these attempts were futile, for the motion was at variance with that which parallax would produce.

Some looms have roller bars that allow the weaver to produce pieces that are longer than the loom.

Some species of mold produce alpha-galactosidase, an anti-oligosaccharide enzyme, which humans can take to facilitate digestion of oligosaccharides in the small intestine.

Some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures through genetic manipulation.

Some types of instructions manipulate the program counter rather than directly produce result data.

Some chemical reactions, like those used to produce the active ingredients for the popular statin drugs, must occur at low temperatures of approximately − 100 ° C ( about-148 ° F ).

Some dyes can be precipitated with an inert salt to produce a lake pigment, and based on the salt used they could be aluminum lake, calcium lake or barium lake pigments.

Some software providers also produced compilers for BASIC, and other languages, to produce binary ( or " machine ") code which would run many times faster and make better use of the small system RAM.

Some makers produce smaller timbales 8 " or 10 " in diameter more suited to drum kit usage, see Timbales # Non-traditional use.

Some engines convert heat from noncombustive processes into mechanical work, for example a nuclear power plant uses the heat from the nuclear reaction to produce steam and drive a steam engine, or a gas turbine in a rocket engine may be driven by decomposing hydrogen peroxide.

Some enterobacteria produce endotoxins.

Some members of the Enterobacteriaceae family produce a systemic infection into the blood stream when all the dead bacterial cells release their endotoxins.

Some methods keep it crispy while other methods produce sauerkraut.

Some LABs produce the antimicrobial nisin which is a particularly effective preservative.

Some preschool ( ages 3 – 4 ) intervention programs like " Head Start " do not produce lasting changes of IQ, although they may confer other benefits.

Some guitar players have used LEDs in the fretboard to produce unique lighting effects onstage.

Some argue this as evidence of superiority of capitalism, since the peasants were generally able to sell their produce.

Some writers restrict the meaning of endothermy to mechanisms that directly raise the animal's metabolic rate in order to produce heat.

Some companies and independent smiths outside of Japan produce katana as well, with varying levels of quality.

Some species produce coloured bracts at the apices.

Some lasers do not use an optical cavity, but instead rely on very high optical gain to produce significant amplified spontaneous emission ( ASE ) without needing feedback of the light back into the gain medium.

Some of these instruments produce a virtual image when applied to the human eye ; others produce a real image which can be captured on photographic film or an optical sensor, or can be viewed on a screen.
