Morphological characterization of molecular-typed Tuber magnatum ectomycorrhizae
Recent reports of discrepancies between the morphological and molecular-based characterization of Tuber magnatum ectomycorrhizae suggest misleading morphological ty** of these structures. This study reports a ...

Morphological and molecular analyses of ectomycorrhizal diversity in a man-made T. melanosporum plantation: description of novel truffle-like morphotypes
Below-ground ectomycorrhizal communities are often species-rich, and monitoring their dynamics is important to understand the conditions that promote truffle fructification. Characterization of the different e...

The AD-type ectomycorrhizas, one of the most common morphotypes present in truffle fields, result from fungi belonging to the Trichophaea woolhopeia species complex
Belowground ectomycorrhizal communities are often species rich. Characterization of the ectomycorrhizas (ECMs) underneath native truffle areas and/or cultivation sites is particularly relevant to identifying f...

Novel morphological and genetic tools to discriminate species among the family Plumatellidae (Phylactolaemata, Bryozoa)
Some species of the freshwater bryozoans (Bryozoa, Phylactolaemata) belonging to the genus Plumatella are remarkably difficult to identify because of the large similarity of superficial architecture of their stat...

Impact of the competition between mating types on the cultivation of Tuber melanosporum: Romeo and Juliet and the matter of space and time
Major breakthroughs in our understanding of the life cycles of the symbiotic ascomycetes belonging to the genus Tuber have occurred over the last several years. A number of Tuber species produce edible fruiting b...

Characterization of the reproductive mode and life cycle of the whitish truffle T. borchii
Truffles are the fruiting structures of ascomycetes in the genus Tuber. Because of their economic importance, truffles have been cultivated for many years using artificially inoculated host plants. Nevertheless, ...

Open AccessPezizomycetes genomes reveal the molecular basis of ectomycorrhizal truffle lifestyle
Tuberaceae is one of the most diverse lineages of symbiotic truffle-forming fungi. To understand the molecular underpinning of the ectomycorrhizal truffle lifestyle, we compared the genomes of Piedmont white t...
