Asphodelus macrocarpus is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the genus "Asphodelus" of the Asphodelaceae family.
 The Latin name "macrocarpus" of this species derives from the Greek μακρός (meaning "large") and καρπειον (meaning "fruit"), referred to the size of the fruits.
Ceratonia is small genus of flowering trees in the pea family, Fabaceae, endemic to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East.
 Its best known member, the carob tree, is cultivated for its pods and has been widely introduced to regions with similar climates.
 The genus was long considered monotypic, but a second species, "Ceratonia oreothauma", was identified in 1979 from Oman and Somalia.
 It belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae, tribe Caesalpinieae.
Çiriş is a village in Erdemli district of Mersin Province, Turkey.
 It is situated to the south of dense forestry of the Taurus Mountains.
 Distance to Erdemli is 12 km and to Mersin is 48 km .
 The population of Çiriş was 910 as of 2012.
 The village was founded in a place full of ancient ruins.
 It was named after the Turkish name of the plant Asphodelus.
 The main econoımic activity of the village is farming.
 Various vegetables and fruits (including greenhouse crops) are produced.
 Tropical fruits like avocado and kiwifruit are also produced.
Plant functional types (PFTs) is a system used by climatologists to classify plants according to their physical, phylogenetic and phenological characteristics as part of an overall effort to develop a vegetation model for use in land use studies and climate models. PFTs provide a finer level of modeling than biomes, which represent gross areas such as desert, savannah, deciduous forest.
 In creating a PFT model, areas as small as 1 km are modeled by defining the predominant plant type for that area, interpreted from satellite data or other means.
 For each plant functional type, a number of key parameters are defined, such as fecundity, competitiveness, resorption (rate at which plant decays and returns nutrients to the soil after death), etc.; the value of each parameter is determined or inferred from observable characteristics such as plant height, leaf area, etc.
Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic cells.
 Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos, i.e. ordinary plant tissue.
 No endosperm or seed coat is formed around a somatic embryo.
 Applications of this process include: clonal propagation of genetically uniform plant material; elimination of viruses; provision of source tissue for genetic transformation; generation of whole plants from single cells called protoplasts; development of synthetic seed technology.
 Cells derived from competent source tissue are cultured to form an undifferentiated mass of cells called a callus.
 Plant growth regulators in the tissue culture medium can be manipulated to induce callus formation and subsequently changed to induce embryos to form from the callus.
 The ratio of different plant growth regulators required to induce callus or embryo formation varies with the type of plant.
 Somatic embryos are mainly produced "in vitro" and for laboratory purposes, using either solid or liquid nutrient media which contain plant growth regulators (PGR’s).
 The main PGRs used are auxins but can contain cytokinin in a smaller amount.
 Shoots and roots are monopolar while somatic embryos are bipolar, allowing them to form a whole plant without culturing on multiple media types.
 Somatic embryogenesis has served as a model to understand the physiological and biochemical events that occur during plant developmental processes as well as a component to biotechnological advancement.
 The first documentation of somatic embryogenesis was by Steward et al. in 1958 and Reinert in 1959 with carrot cell suspension cultures.
The William H. Zimmer Power Station, located near Moscow, Ohio, is a coal-fired power plant owned by Dynegy, Inc. It was originally intended to be a boiling water reactor type of nuclear power plant.
 Although once estimated to be 97% complete, poor construction and quality assurance (QA) led to the plant being converted to coal-fired generation.
 As of 2012, the plant generates 1460 gross MWe and 1300 net MWe.
 Zimmer Power Station is the largest single-unit power facility in the United States.
 During the construction of the plant, the Little Indian Creek was routed through the plant to protect fish populations.
 The plant now has several unique environmental protection features to keep the creek at its natural state.
The abundances of plant species are often measured by plant cover, i.e. the relative area covered by different plant species in a small plot.
 Plant cover is not biased by the size and distributions of individuals, and is an important and often measured characteristic of the composition of plant communities.
 Plant cover data may be used to classify the studied plant community into a vegetation type, to test different ecological hypothesis on plant abundance, and in gradient studies, where the effects of different environmental gradients on the abundance of specific plant species are investigated.
Asphodelus fistulosus is a species of plant known as hollow-stemmed asphodel, onionweed, onion-leafed asphodel, and pink asphodel.
 It is native to the Mediterranean region.
 It is an invasive exotic weed in the United States, with significant infestations in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
 It is listed as a Federal Noxious Weed by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 It is also a common weed in parts of Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico, and it thrives in any area with a Mediterranean climate.
Asphodelus albus, common name white asphodel, is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the genus "Asphodelus".
Asphodelus is a genus of mainly perennial plants first described for modern science in 1753.
 The genus is native to temperate Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent, and now naturalized in other places (New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, southwestern United States, etc.).
