Functional trait differences between native bunchgrasses and the invasive grass Bromus tectorum [PDF]
We conducted 30- and 60-d greenhouse experiments to compare functional traits of Bromus tectorum (invasive annual grass) and four perennial bunchgrasses under well-watered or drought conditions. Even under drought, B.

Secondary dormancy of seeds in relation to the Bromus tectorum-Pyrenophora semeniperda pathosystem
Bromus tectorum is a highly invasive annual grass. The fungal pathogen Pyrenophora semeniperda can kill a large fraction of B. tectorum seeds. Outcomes in this pathosystem are often determined by the speed of seed germination.

Ecological Genetics of Vernalization Response in Bromus tectorum L. (Poaceae) [PDF]
Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass or downy brome) is an exotic annual grass that is dominant over large areas of former shrubland in western North America. To flower in time for seed production in early summer, B. tectorum plants generally require vernalization at winter temperatures, either as imbibed seeds or as established seedlings.Variation in response ...
