Tuber mesentericum and Tuber aestivum Truffles: New Insights Based on Morphological and Phylogenetic Analyses [PDF]
Tuber aestivum, one of the most sought out and marketed truffle species in the world, is morphologically similar to Tuber mesentericum, which is only locally appreciated in south Italy and north-east France. Because T. aestivum and T.

Is Tuber brumale a threat to T. melanosporum and T. aestivum plantations? [PDF]
True truffles in the genus Tuber are the most valuable ectomycorrhizal fungi and their cultivation has become widespread around the world. Competition with other ectomycorrhizal fungi and especially with undesired Tuber species, like T.

Comparison of the fragrance constituents of Tuber aestivum and Tuber brumale gathered in Hungary
Scent components from two species of Tuber truffles gleaned in Hungary were examined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry subsequent to Likens-Nickerson simultaneous distillation extraction. The analysis revealed several differences between them. In

First Record of Summer Truffle (Tuber aestivum) in Portugal
Tuber aestivum, commonly known as the summer truffle, is typically found in various parts of Europe where it grows naturally. However, its presence in Portugal was not confirmed until now. The first fruit bodies were collected in April 2024 at stone pine

Ectomycorrhizal communities in a Tuber aestivum Vittad. orchard in Poland
Cultivation of the Burgundy truffle, Tuber aestivum Vittad., has become a new agricultural alternative in Poland. For rural economies, the concept of landscaping is often considerably more beneficial than conventional agriculture and promotes ...

Introduced Tuber aestivum spreading spontaneously in Israel
A Tuber melanosporum plantation established in 1994/5 on Kibbutz Bar’am (in the Upper Galilee, Israel, Fig. 1) gradually lost its T. melanosporum mycorrhiza. When checked in 1998, only about 70% of the trees maintained their original mycorrhiza (Kagan-Zur et al. 2001) and was deteriorating constantly. A number of trees perished.

Effect of slug mycophagy on Tuber aestivum spores
Truffles in the genus Tuber produce subterranean fruiting bodies that are not able to actively discharge their spores in the environment. For this reason, truffles depend on mycophagous animals for reproduction. Fungus consumption (mycophagy) is a behaviour typical of both vertebrates and invertebrates. Mammals, especially rodents, are the most studied

Ploidy and chromosomal number in Tuber aestivum [PDF]
Chromosome number is generally considered to be the most accurate and direct measure of ploidy. In fungi, however, counting of chromosomes is difficult and inaccurate because of their small size. To date truffles have been characterized using molecular approaches (analysis of DNA and PCR-based techniques) in order to find out differences among species,
