Our knowledge of ectomycorrhizas (ECM) first stemmed from the truffles. Thus, Frank (1885)
identified the symbiotic partnership between plants and a truffle (Tuber aestivum) that we …

The Italian white truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) forms mycorrhizal relationships, with the
roots of, for example, poplars, willows, oaks, aspen, alder and hazelnut in Northern Italy and …

The knowledge of the host diversity in the Tuber genus, an economically important group of
ectomycorrhizal fungi, is of crucial importance for efficient cultivation system establishment …

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

Fungi belonging to the genus Tuber establish ectomycorrhizal symbioses with shrubs, trees
and some herbaceous plants. Some Tuber species, for example, T. melanosporum, T …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Analysis of environmental conditions in productive natural European truffières has
permitted physico-chemical characterization of truffle soils and management techniques …

Limitations in the use of morphological traits to identify ectomycorrhizae have led to the
development of species‐specific molecular markers. Herein, we report a PCR‐based …

Truffles are ascomycetous ectomycorrhizal fungi: the accomplishment of their life cycle relies
therefore on the establishment of symbiotic relationships with a narrow range of host plants …
