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 …

Summary Molise region (Central‐Southern Italy) is one of the Italian richest areas of truffles
and contributes significantly to the national production of the precious Tuber magnatum …

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 …

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

Tuber rufum is a truffle widely distributed throughout Europe, which forms mycorrhizal
associations with numerous species of broadleaf and coniferous trees. The possibility of T …

Tuber magnatum Pico, the delectable white truffle, is the most prized truffle species. In this
study, we examined the reddish pigmentation that frequently occurs in T. magnatum …

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 …

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 …

The quality and market price of truffles vary with the species and, traditionally, the place of
origin. The premium species Tuber magnatum produces white truffles and has a patchy …
