Hidden fairy rings and males—Genetic patterns of natural Burgundy truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) populations reveal new insights into its life cycle

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 12, Page 6376-6391, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Burgundy truffles are heterothallic ascomycetes that grow in symbiosis with trees. Despite their esteemed belowground fruitbodies, the species' complex lifecycle is still not fully understood. Here, we present the genetic patterns in three natural Burgundy truffle populations based on genotyped fruitbodies, ascospore extracts and ...

The fall of the summer truffle: Recurring hot, dry summers result in declining fruitbody production of Tuber aestivum in Central Europe

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 24, Page 7376-7390, December 2022., 2022
We worked with citizen scientists to monitor the productivity of the widely distributed summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) over eight years. We found that hot, dry summers substantially reduce truffle yields. Populations from the center of the species' range cannot tolerate conditions experienced by populations at the hotter extremes, suggesting local ...

Methods used for extraction of plant volatiles have potential to preserve truffle aroma: A review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 1677-1701, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Truffles are considered one of the world's most highly prized foods mainly due to their desirable organoleptic properties and rarity. However, truffles are seasonal (harvested mostly in winter from June to August in the Southern Hemisphere and from December to February in the Northern Hemisphere) and extremely perishable.

Different patterns in root and soil fungal diversity drive plant productivity of the desert truffle Terfezia claveryi in plantation

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 5917-5933, October 2021., 2021
Summary The desert truffle Terfezia claveryi is one of the few mycorrhizal fungi currently in cultivation in semiarid and arid areas. Agroclimatic parameters seem to affect its annual yield, but there is no information on the influence of biotic factors.

Edible mycorrhizal fungi of the world: What is their role in forest sustainability, food security, biocultural conservation and climate change?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 3, Issue 5, Page 471-490, September 2021., 2021
Edible mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) have been consumed since ancestral times by humans either as food, medicine, or for ceremonial use. Nowadays, they are a non‐timber forest product and a diverse genetic resource with great ecological, sociocultural, economic, medicinal, and biotechnological relevance around the world. Therefore, they have a paramount role

Geographical‐based variations in white truffle Tuber magnatum aroma is explained by quantitative differences in key volatile compounds

New Phytologist, Volume 230, Issue 4, Page 1623-1638, May 2021., 2021
Summary The factors that vary the aroma of Tuber magnatum fruiting bodies are poorly understood. The study determined the headspace aroma composition, sensory aroma profiles, maturity and bacterial communities from T. magnatum originating from Italy, Croatia, Hungary, and Serbia, and tested if truffle aroma is dependent on provenance and if fruiting ...

Desert truffle genomes reveal their reproductive modes and new insights into plant–fungal interaction and ectendomycorrhizal lifestyle

New Phytologist, Volume 229, Issue 5, Page 2917-2932, March 2021., 2021
Summary Desert truffles are edible hypogeous fungi forming ectendomycorrhizal symbiosis with plants of Cistaceae family. Knowledge about the reproductive modes of these fungi and the molecular mechanisms driving the ectendomycorrhizal interaction is lacking.
