Aim In contrast to non‐forest vegetation, the species richness–productivity (SR‐P) relationship in forests still remains insufficiently explored. Several studies have focused on the diversity of the tree layer, but the species richness of temperate deciduous forests is mainly determined by their species‐rich herb layer. The factors controlling herb‐layer productivity may differ from those affecting...

The hump-backed curve is a well-known model to explain the local variation in plant species richness and predicts highest species numbers at intermediate productivity levels. To test the validity of this model we studied various types of deciduous forest in Northwest Germany in regard to the relation between species richness and environmental factors. We recorded species numbers at three different...

Abstract. Two responses to elicitins are described in cultivars of radish (Raphanus sativus L.). Type I, exhibited by the cultivar Daikon, is characterised by wilting and desiccation within 24h of elicitin application and was previously reported as the sensitive response (S. Kamoun et al. 1993, Mol Plant-Microbe Interact 6: 1525). At 1g eliciting1 FW radish tissue, symptoms appeared after 8h, a sensitivity...
