Black Truffles Affect Quercus aliena Physiology and Root-Associated nirK- and nirS-Type Denitrifying Bacterial Communities in the Initial Stage of Inoculation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Truffles (Tuber spp.) are edible ectomycorrhizal fungi with high economic value. Bacteria in ectomycorrhizosphere soils are considered to be associated with the nutrient uptake of truffles and hosts. Whether Tuber spp.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity in the Tuber melanosporum brûlé [PDF]

Fungal Biology, 2015
The development of the fruiting body (truffle) of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Tuber melanosporum is associated with the production of an area (commonly referred to with the French word brûlé) around its symbiotic plant that has scanty vegetation. As truffles produce metabolites that can mediate fungal-plant interactions, the authors wondered whether the

Mating type locus of Chinese black truffles reveals heterothallism and the presence of cryptic species within the T. indicum species complex. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Tuber spp. are filamentous ascomycetes which establish symbiosis with the roots of trees and shrub species. By virtue of this symbiosis they produce hypogeous ascocarps, known as truffles.

The dark web trades wildlife, but mostly for use as drugs

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 999-1009, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Contemporary wildlife trade is massively facilitated by the Internet. By design, the dark web is one layer of the Internet that is difficult to monitor and continues to lack thorough investigation. Here, we accessed a comprehensive database of dark web marketplaces to search across c. 2 million dark web advertisements over 5 years using c. 7 k

Sustainable production of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the Mediterranean region to support the European Green Deal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 14-26, January 2023., 2023
The planet faces a climate crisis with severe health, economic and environmental consequences. Political actions such as the European Green Deal aim to mitigate climate change by shifting production and consumption patterns, and the production of mycorrhizal sporocarps—the fruiting body of fungi—is no exception. The production of mycorrhizal sporocarps

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 ...

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 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 ...

Black truffle cultivation: a global reality

Forest Systems, 2014
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 European standard for the species.

Mulch removal time did not have significant effects on Tuber melanosporum mycelium biomass

Forest Systems, 2021
Aim of study: We aimed to i) evaluate the effects of mulching on Tuber melanosporum mycelium biomass and seedling growth (i.e. root collar diameter and seedling height) and ii) unravel the relationship between growth in root collar diameter and mycelium ...
