The genetic structure of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal populations results from both
vegetative and sexual propagation. In this study, we have analysed the spatial genetic …

In light of the recent finding that Tuber melanosporum, the ectomycorrhizal ascomycete that
produces the most highly prized black truffles, is a heterothallic species, we monitored the …

The life cycles and dispersal of edible fungi are still poorly known, thus limiting our
understanding of their evolution and domestication. The prized Tuber melanosporum …

The level of genetic diversity and genetic structure in the Perigord black truffle (Tuber
melanosporum Vittad.) has been debated for several years, mainly due to the lack of …

Tuber spp. are fungi that establish symbiosis with several trees and shrubs. Some of these
fungal species produce edible ascomata, also known as truffles, which are highly …

Tuber melanosporum is an ectomycorrhizal ascomycete producing edible ascocarps. The
prevalent view is that this species strictly selfs, since genetic analyses have never detected …

The Périgord black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is a heterothallic ascomycete that
establishes ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with trees and shrubs. Small‐scale genetic structures …

Truffles are symbiotic fungi in high demand by food connoisseurs. Improving yield and
product quality requires a better understanding of truffle genetics and aroma biosynthesis …

Abstract Although the Burgundy truffle (Tuber aestivum) is an ectomycorrhizal fungus of
important economic value, its subterranean life cycle and population biology are still poorly …

Tuber melanosporum is a truffle native to Europe and is cultivated in countries such as
Australia for the gastronomic market, where production yields are often lower than expected …
