Sex and truffles: first evidence of Perigord black truffle outcrosses [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2008 The Perigord truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is a ‘cult-food’,one of the worldwide recognized icons of European gastronomy and culture, for which genomic and genetic information could act as a knowledge platform to improve its production and environmental persistence. The fruiting body of T. melanosporum is an edible truffle (= hypogeous ascocarp),

Population genetics and dynamics of the black truffle in a man-made truffle field [PDF]
Heredity, 2001 The colonization dynamics of the black truffle in an artificial field were assessed through analyses of microsatellite and RAPD markers. The truffle field was composed of three tree species and mycelial inoculum of three different origins, and was monitored for the first three years of truffle production.
