    Bromus comes from a Greek word for a type of oat, and tectorum comes from tector which means overlaying and tectum which means roof. [2] Bromus tectorum is a winter annual grass native to Eurasia usually germinating in autumn, overwintering as a seedling, then flowering in the spring or early summer. [9]

  3. Plant embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_embryonic_development

    Plant embryonic development, also plant embryogenesis, is a process that occurs after the fertilization of an ovule to produce a fully developed plant embryo.This is a pertinent stage in the plant life cycle that is followed by dormancy and germination. [1]

  4. Biological soil crust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_soil_crust

    It has been shown that while some native desert plant species have seeds with self-burial mechanisms that can establish readily in crusted areas, many exotic invasive plants do not. Therefore, the presence of biological soil crusts may slow the establishment of invasive plant species such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). [21]

  5. Bromus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromus

    Bromus is a large genus of grasses, classified in its own tribe Bromeae. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] They are commonly known as bromes , brome grasses , cheat grasses or chess grasses . Estimates in the scientific literature of the number of species have ranged from 100 to 400, but plant taxonomists currently recognize around 160–170 species.

  6. Germination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germination

    Germination of seedlings raised from seeds of eucalyptus after three days of sowing. In agriculture and gardening, the germination rate describes how many seeds of a particular plant species, variety or seedlot are likely to germinate over a given period. It is a measure of germination time course and is usually expressed as a percentage, e.g ...

  7. Agricultural cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_cycle

    The agricultural cycle is the annual cycle of activities related to the growth and harvest of a crop (plant). These activities include loosening the soil, seeding, special watering, moving plants when they grow bigger, and harvesting, among others.

  8. Somatic embryogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_embryogenesis

    Switchgrass somatic embryos. Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell. [1] Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos, i.e. ordinary plant tissue.

  9. Habitat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat

    Bromus tectorum is a vigorous grass from Europe which has been introduced to the United States where it has become invasive. It is highly adapted to fire, producing large amounts of flammable detritus and increasing the frequency and intensity of wildfires.
