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

Tuber ectomycorrhizae in a Tuber magnatum “truffière”, located in Central Italy, were studied
using molecular methods. Specifically, RFLP–ITS analyses, ITS sequencing and specific …

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

Mycorrhizas of Tuber brumale on Quercus pubescens and Tilia americana were obtained in
vitro using micropropagated plantlets. Mycelium pure cultures were used for inoculation …

Tuber indicum is one of the most renowned commercialized fungi in China. Mycorrhizal
investigations, however, have been carried out mainly with exotic trees. Up to now there is …

Identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on roots is almost impossible with
morphological methods and, due to the presence of contaminating fungi, it is also difficult …

No information is presently available on the molecular mechanisms that control the
morphogenesis of the truffle, an ectomycorrhizal ascomycetous fungus of great economic …

Chondrogaster angustisporus is a hypogeous ectomycorrhizal fungus described from
fruiting bodies collected under Eucalyptus spp. in Brazil, Uruguay, and Australia. Due to its …

Truffle cultivation has drawn more and more attention for its high economic and ecological
values in the world. To select symbionts suitable for cultivation purposes, we conducted …

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 …
