abstract

terfezia, picoa and tirmania, so called desert truffles, are mycorrhizal fungi mostly endemic to arid and semi-arid areas of the mediterranean region, where they are associated with helianthemum and carexspecies. the aim of this work was to study the identification, molecular analysis, distribution and hosts of these pezizalean hypogeous fungi in iran. among the specimens, terfezia claveryi, tirmania pinoyi, t. nivea, picoa lefebvrei and p. juniperi were identified. field, laboratory and anatomical studies showed that helianthemum ledifolium, h. salicifolium, h. lippi and carex stenophylum have ectomycorrhizal associations with five species in the studied areas. the results of molecular analysis showed that c. stenophylum roots form mycorrhizal associations with t. claveryi. hyphal mantle was absent from sections of the mycorrhizas. the results of physico-chemical analyses on soil samples from different parts of the fars province in iran showed that the genus tirmania was more prevalent in soils with high caco3 and silt contents than the t. claveryi, p. lefebvrei and p. juniperi. the canonical correspondence analysis (cca) indicated that soil structure were an important environmental parameter influencing desert truffles distribution.

Molecular phylogeny of three desert truffles from Iran based on ribosomal genome

The ITS region including the 5.8S gene of rDNA of three desert truffle species were amplified using ITS4 and ITS1 primers. The ITS sequences were compared to those of other related authentic sequences obtained from GenBank. Among 12 specimens studied, seven isolates corresponded to Terfezia claveryi reported by other authors. Iranian T. claveryi specimens had an average similarity of 99.4% (ran...
