Characteristic of Tuber spp. localities in natural stands with emphasis on plant species composition

Acta Mycologica, 2014
Fungi belonging to the genus Tuber establish ectomycorrhizal symbioses with shrubs, trees and some herbaceous plants. Some Tuber species, for example, T. melanosporum, T. magnatum, T.

Starch Synthase 3 isoforms are essential for normal starch granule initiation in wheat endosperm

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1075-1091, April 2026.
Summary Wheat grains have two distinct types of starch granules. Large, lenticular A‐type granules are formed from a single initiation per amyloplast during early grain development, while numerous small B‐type granules are initiated during later grain development.

Multifaceted roles of BBX transcription factors: impacts on key agronomical traits and environmental resilience

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 762-787, April 2026.
Summary B‐box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In

Vacuolar zinc transporter TaMTP1 safeguards wheat fertility and regulates grain zinc allocation via stem‐mediated sequestration

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
SUMMARY Metal tolerance protein 1 (MTP1) is essential for metal homeostasis and detoxification, but its roles in crop fertility and reproductive organ development are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that wheat TaMTP1 safeguards reproductive success and grain Zn allocation by mediating vacuolar Zn sequestration in stems.

Tuber melanosporum spread within sub-optimal climatic zones is controlled by fruiting triggers and not mycorrhiza survival

Acta Mycologica, 2014
Tuber melanosporum is the most valuable of all cultivatable truffle species. Farming of this species spans every continent with the exception of Antarctica. Tuber aestivum (syn. T.

The progressive modernization of cassava breeding programs at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and future prospects

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Modernizing cassava breeding programs (CBPs) is critical to increase genetic gain, close the yield gap, and ensure food availability, accessibility, and affordability to support livelihood transformation and economic development in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA).

Increased temperature and drought do not threaten the mycelium of Tuber melanosporum in Mediterranean regions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 556-562, March 2026.
Drought and high temperatures are expected to increase in Europe, in particular in Mediterranean regions, where black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is mainly harvested. This fungus, living in symbiotic ectomycorrhizal association with trees, is important in forest ecosystems and agricultural diversification.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Mass Spectrometry-Based Non-Targeted Lipidome Analysis and Extraction of Markers for the Authentication of White and Black Truffle Species and Their Origin Determination

Agriculture
The visual authentication of high-value truffles (Tuber magnatum and Tuber melanosporum) is challenging, as they share similar morphological characteristics with other truffle species that have a lower economic value. This similarity complicates accurate
