Open AccessSoil metaproteomics reveals an inter-kingdom stress response to the presence of black truffles
For some truffle species of the Tuber genus, the symbiotic phase is often associated with the presence of an area of scant vegetation, commonly known as the brûlé, around the host tree. Previous metagenomics stud...
