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 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 …

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 …

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 …

Tuber spp. are ectomycorrhizal fungi that establish symbioses with shrubs and trees.
Because of their different smell and taste, Tuber uncinatum and Tuber aestivum are two …

The ectomycorrhizal fungus Tuber magnatum produces the white truffle appreciated
worldwide for its unique aroma. With respect to other Tuber spp. of economic interest, T …

Phylogenetic relationships of commercial Chinese truffles and their allies were investigated
mainly by morphological studies and analyses of the sequences of ITS regions of nuclear …

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' …

Abstract Tuber borchii (Ascomycota, Pezizales) is a highly valued truffle sold in local markets
in Italy. Despite its economic importance, knowledge on its distribution and genetic structure …

Species-specific internal ITS primers that amplify polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products
of different lengths were selected to distinguish the morphologically similar ectomycorrhizal …
