A culture-independent approach to understanding the role of soil fungal communities in Bromus tectorum stand failure [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, 2021
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is an invasive annual grass (Poaceae) that has colonized large portions of the Intermountain West. Cheatgrass stand failures have been observed throughout the invaded region, the cause of which may be related to the ...

Experimental Warming Changes Phenology and Shortens Growing Season of the Dominant Invasive Plant Bromus tectorum (Cheatgrass) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) has successfully invaded and established throughout the western United States. Bromus tectorum grows early in the season and this early growth allows B.

Synergy between roads and disturbance favour Bromus tectorum L. invasion [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Global change produces pervasive negative impacts on biodiversity worldwide. Land use change and biological invasions are two of the major drivers of global change that often coexist; however, the effects of their interaction on natural ...

Preadapted to adapt: underpinnings of adaptive plasticity revealed by the downy brome genome [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2023
A high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome for the invasive weed Bromus tectorum is assembled and its utility demonstrated through a genome wide association study identifying QTLs that affect reproductive phenology and plant height.

A Trp574-Leu substitution confers resistance to three classes of acetolactate synthase inhibitors in Australian brome grass (Bromus diandrus). [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Target‐site based imidazolinone resistance in brome grass was found to be conferred by a mutation at position 574 in the ALS gene and to severely impact the efficacy of the herbicide Intervix®, a co‐formulation of imazamox and imazapyr. Abstract BACKGROUND Brome grass (Bromus diandrus) is a prevalent weed in southern Australian cropping regions which ...

Native perennial grasses show evolutionary response to Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass) invasion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Invasive species can change selective pressures on native plants by altering biotic and abiotic conditions in invaded habitats. Although invasions can lead to native species extirpation, they may also induce rapid evolutionary changes in remnant native ...

Using high-resolution future climate scenarios to forecast Bromus tectorum invasion in Rocky Mountain National Park. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
National Parks are hallmarks of ecosystem preservation in the United States. The introduction of alien invasive plant species threatens protection of these areas. Bromus tectorum L.

Eco-evolutionary context modifies a destructive plant invader's response to climate. [PDF]

New Phytol
Abiotic environment–fitness relationships can be shaped by evolutionary, ecological, and eco‐evolutionary contexts. Summary Understanding the relationship between climate and fitness will be important when predicting how plant populations respond to climate change. We conducted a replicated common garden experiment (4 sites × 2 yr) with 96 genotypes (n

Diaspore Dimorphism, Awn Hygroscopicity and Adaptive Significance in a Winter Annual Bromus tectorum (Poaceae) [PDF]

Plants
Bromus tectorum, a winter annual plant, produces dimorphic diaspores: complex diaspores with multi-awns and simple diaspores with one awn. However, there is no information available about the role of awns and the germination characteristics of dimorphic ...
