In many European countries, recent policies and forest management have been striving to
restore and increase forest biodiversity. One of the ways to achieve this goal is by increased …

During their symbiotic phase, white truffles are barely distinguishable morphologically, and
molecular probes are needed for their identification. Here we report the design of species …

Although authorized for the French market, the Asiatic black truffle, Tuber indicum, may
potentially be sold as T. melanosporum, the” Perigord black truffle'', due to difficulties in …

Tuber magnatum Pico is an ectomycorrhizal fungus whose mycorrhizas can be barely
distinguished morphologically from those of other related white truffles. Here we describe …

Recent reports of discrepancies between the morphological and molecular-based
characterization of Tuber magnatum ectomycorrhizae suggest misleading morphological …

The ITS region of the rRNA genes was amplified using DNA extracted from Terfezia pfeilii
fruit-bodies. Two types of restriction fragment profiles were revealed among 11 fruit-bodies …

Species-specific primers selected from the internal transcribed spacer region sequence
were used to set up a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) able to simultaneously …

Two similar truffle species described by Vittadini, Tuber borchii and T. maculatum, were
compared. We designate neotypes for both species, which were described microscopically …

Five local oak species, Quercus boissieri, Q. calliprinus, Q. cerris, Q. ithaburensis and Q.
libani were identified as hosts of Tuber melanosporum, the black truffle of Perigord, following …

Esta revisión tiene por objeto evaluar el impacto de las técnicas de biología molecular para
el estudio ecológico de hongos micorrízicos (EM). Se describe la utilidad de diferentes …
