Plural of crucifer; plants belonging to the mustard family that have cross-shaped flowers, or multiple persons who carry crosses in religious processions.
Simple plural of 'crucifer,' formed by adding '-s.' Used when referring to multiple plants of this type or multiple cross-bearers.
Crucifers as a group are nutritional superstars—cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, and broccoli are all crucifers, and they share that same four-petaled cross flower design that helped them survive for millions of years by producing bitter defensive compounds.
