The aims of the work were to elucidate the distribution of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tuber
magnatum Pico during its symbiotic stage, and to identify the root-associated fungi in a …

Truffles are hypogeous ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi belonging to the genus Tuber. Although
outplanting of truffle-inoculated host plants has enabled the realization of productive …

The ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal communities of four natural Tuber magnatum truffle
grounds, located in different Italian regions (Abruzzo, Emilia-Romagna, Molise, and …

Truffles are hypogeous ectomycorrhizal fungi. They belong to the genus Tuber and are
currently considered a hot spot in fungal biology due to their ecological and economic …

Tuber ectomycorrhizae in a Tuber magnatum “truffière”, located in Central Italy, were studied
using molecular methods. Specifically, RFLP–ITS analyses, ITS sequencing and specific …

The aim of this work was to clarify the genetic structure of the ectomycorrhizal fungus, Tuber
magnatum Pico, in a natural truffle ground located in north Italy. Ascomata of this population …

Belowground ectomycorrhizal communities are often species rich. Characterization of the
ectomycorrhizas (ECMs) underneath native truffle areas and/or cultivation sites is …

Protocols for isolating and amplifying fungal DNA from ectomycorrhizae, overcoming the
presence of PCR inhibitors, were established to ensure a fast and reliable truffle mycorrhizal …

Since the first truffle plantations were established in France, Italy and other parts in the
world, many studies have been carried out to improve their productivity and sustainability …

Although Tuber borchii is a commercially valuable truffle, its habitat has been virtually
ignored. Here, we examine the ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in natural T. borchii …
