‘Can't see the forest for the trees’: The importance of fungi in the context of UK tree planting

Food and Energy Security, Volume 11, Issue 4, November 2022., 2022
Tree planting now forms a major part of the UK climate mitigation strategy, with targets to increase the forest cover from the current 13% to 17%–20% by 2050. We highlight four key reasons why fungi should be considered in tree planting strategies, with a following seven policy recommendations to maximise the carbon sequestration and biodiversity ...

The genomic tool-kit of the truffle Tuber melanosporum programmed cell death. [PDF]

Cell Death Discov, 2018
AbstractA survey of the truffle Tuber melanosporum genome has shown the presence of 67 programmed cell death (PCD)-related genes. The 67 genes are all expressed during fruit body (FB) development of T. melanosporum development; their expression has been detected by DNA microarrays and qPCR. A set of 14 PCD-related genes have been chosen, those with the

Laccaria bicolor pectin methylesterases are involved in ectomycorrhiza development with Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides

New Phytologist, Volume 236, Issue 2, Page 639-655, October 2022., 2022
Summary The development of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) symbioses between soil fungi and tree roots requires modification of root cell walls. The pectin‐mediated adhesion between adjacent root cells loosens to accommodate fungal hyphae in the Hartig net, facilitating nutrient exchange between partners.

Potential aromatic compounds as markers to differentiate between Tuber melanosporum and Tuber indicum truffles [PDF]

Food Chemistry, 2013
The Tuber indicum (Chinese truffle) and Tuber melanosporum (Black truffle) species are morphologically very similar but their aromas are very different. The black truffle aroma is much more intense and complex, and it is consequently appreciated more gastronomically. This work tries to determine whether the differences between the aromatic compounds of

Counter-season cultivation of truffles in the Southern Hemisphere: an update

Italian Journal of Mycology, 2017
The cultivation of truffles in the Southern Hemisphere began in New Zealand in the mid-1980s and the first fruiting bodies of Tuber melanosporum were harvested in Gisborne in 1993.

Truffle brûlés have an impact on the diversity of soil bacterial communities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: The development of Tuber melanosporum mycorrhizal symbiosis is associated with the production of an area devoid of vegetation (commonly referred to by the French word 'brûlé') around the symbiotic plants and where the fruiting bodies of T ...

Hyphal and cytoskeleton polarization in Tuber melanosporum: A genomic and cellular analysis [PDF]

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2011
Filamentous polarized growth involves a series of events including polarization of the cytoskeleton to selected growth sites, and the transport of secretory vesicles containing the components required for growth. The availability of fungal genome sequences has recently led to the identification of a large number of proteins involved in these processes.

Current status of truffle cultivation: recent results and future perspectives

Italian Journal of Mycology, 2015
In this review the current status of truffle cultivation in Europe and outside Europe is reported. While the cultivation of Tuber melanosporum (Périgord black truffle), Tuber aestivum (summer or Burgundy truffle) and Tuber borchii (bianchetto truffle ...

Fungal and Bacterial Communities in Tuber melanosporum Plantations from Northern Spain [PDF]

Forests, 2022
Tuber melanosporum (Ascomycota, Pezizales) is an ectomycorrhizal fungus that produces highly appreciated hypogeous fruiting bodies called black truffles. The aim of this paper was to research the composition of ectomycorrhiza-associated fungal and bacterial communities in T. melanosporum oak plantations.
