Extraction and Identification of Urtica dioica L Extract and Its Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background and purpose: Medicinal plants have gained much interest in today’s world because they have fewer adverse effects compared to chemical drugs. Urtica dioica L could be used in treatment of some chronic diseases. This study aimed at investigating

Light interception principally drives the understory response to boxelder invasion in riparian forests [PDF]

, 2012
Since several decades, American boxelder (Acer negundo) is replacing white willow (Salix alba) riparian forests along southern European rivers. This study aims to evaluate the consequences of boxelder invasion on understory community in riparian areas ...

Contributions of early and late cover provision to the abundance and diversity of invertebrate prey for Corncrakes (Crex crex)

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Early and late cover (ELC) provides important habitat for ground‐dwelling invertebrates and significantly increases the abundance of Corncrake prey during key stages of the breeding season. Using mixed models, we show that ELC supports higher prey abundance than unmanaged natural regeneration cover and surrounding farmland.

Production and processing of organically grown fiber nettle (Urtica dioica L.) and its potential use in the natural textiles industry: A review [PDF]

, 2003
In Europe, the perennial stinging nettle was cultivated during the 19th century until the Second World War and has a long history as a fiber plant.

Food-chain transfer of zinc from contaminated Urtica dioica and Acer pseudoplatanus L. to Microlophium carnosum and Drepanosiphum platanoidis Schrank [PDF]

, 2010
This study examines the food-chain transfer of Zn from two plant species, Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) and Acer pseudoplatanus (sycamore maple), into their corresponding aphid species, Microlophium carnosum and Drepanosiphum platanoidis.

GENECOLOGICAL STUDIES OFURTICA DIOICAL. [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1984
SummaryThe stinging hairs ofUrtica dioica(stinging nettle) have often been described as defences against grazing; however, no experimental studies have tested this proposition. Variability in the number of stinging hairs borne by plants has been described, and is known to have a genetic basis.

The Genetic Wiring of Plant Trichomes: From Initiation to Fate Specification

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
Plant trichomes are not just simple hairs but metabolic powerhouses shaped by complex genetic programs. While the MYB‐bHLH‐WD40 module is well studied in Arabidopsis, recent findings reveal that HD‐Zip IV transcription factors drive multicellular and glandular trichome development through dose‐dependent mechanisms.

Geoarchaeological Investigation of Early Neolithic Lagoonal Fringe Landscapes in the Netherlands

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands have historically been portrayed as too marginal for early crop cultivation during the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition due to their dynamic hydrology, low elevation, and poor drainage. However, growing evidence suggests that these environments played a crucial role in the spread of agriculture. We examined buried and submerged

Small grassland patches are hotspots for medicinal plants and associated phytochemical diversity in European agricultural landscapes

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 231-244, January 2026.
Besides being important components of landscape‐level biodiversity, medicinal plants are essential resources for traditional and modern healthcare. However, human‐driven biodiversity loss has resulted in the decline of medicinal plant populations. By maintaining connections between nature, culture, and people, sacred natural sites can help counteract ...
