Truffles are hypogeous fungi which live in symbiosis with plant host roots in order to
accomplish their life cycle. Some species, such as Tuber magnatum Pico, the 'white truffle' …

In the very broadest sense, truffles are fungi that sequester their spores within differentiated
fruiting structures and produce these fruiting bodies below the soil or leaf litter. However, for …

As we were writing this preface, the COP21 international conference on climate change was
being held in Paris, highlighting the importance of all initiatives to protect the future of the …

The two morphologically similar truffles Tuber aestivum and T. uncinatum have caused
confusion because T. uncinatum is regarded by different authors, as either a distinct species …

Burgundy truffles (Tuber aestivum syn. Tuber uncinatum) are the highly prized fruit bodies of
subterranean fungi always occurring in ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with host plants …

Fungi that produce their fruiting bodies underground within the soil profile are known
commonly as truffles. Truffle fruiting bodies harbor a diverse but poorly understood microbial …

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 …

Genetic variability is one of the major survival strategies developed by symbiotic fungi. We
focused on the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tuber uncinatum Chatin that produces edible …

This study reports PCR-based techniques for a reliable molecular identification of five
species of white truffles: Tuber magnatum Pico, T. borchii Vittad., T. maculatum Vittad., T …

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 …
