In this review the current status of truffle cultivation in Europe and outside Europe is
reported. While the cultivation of Tuber melanosporum (Périgord black truffle), Tuber …

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 …

Aim of study: In recent decades the cultivation of the black truffle Tuber melanosporum has
expanded across all the Mediterranean-climate regions, but also to other regions outside the …

The microbial community associated with ascocarps of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tuber
borchii Vittad. was studied by both cultivation and direct extraction of bacterial 16S rRNA …

A rapid procedure was developed to amplify ITS fragments directly from Tuber
ectomycorrhizas either synthesized in a greenhouse or collected from the field. The addition …

Fruit body development is a particular phase of the Tuber life cycle, characterised by the
aggregation of different types of hyphae, ie, vegetative hyphal cells and highly specialised …

Abstract Tuber magnatum Picco, the Italian white truffle, and T. borchii Vittad., the bianchetto
truffle, are two European white truffles that command high prices because of their excellent …

The genome of the ectomycorrhizal ascomycete Tubermelanosporum has recently been
published and this has given researchers unique opportunities to learn more about the …

Although Tuber borchii is a commercially valuable truffle, its habitat has been virtually
ignored. Here, we examine the ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in natural T. borchii …

Tuber borchii is an ectomycorrhizal ascomycete with a wide ecological range, which forms
valuable fruit bodies (truffles). The effect of heat stress on the growth and morphology of …
