They were completely devoid of mycorrhizal structures. Similarly, stinging nettle plants grown in the greenhouse in the presence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungusGlomus mosseae did not show any signs of mycorrhiza formation. Spread ofG. mosseae through the rhizosphere of stinging nettle plants was inhibited, and application of extracts of stinging nettle roots and rhizomes to hyphal tips ofG. mosseae reduced hyphal growth.Urtica dioica agglutinin, an antifungal protein present in the rhizomes of stinging nettle, inhibited hyphal growth in a similar way as the crude root extract. The possibility thatUrtica dioica agglutinin is at least partially responsible for the inability of stinging nettle to form the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis withG. mosseae is discussed.
