The transition from vegetative mycelium to fruit body in truffles requires differentiation processes which lead to edible fruit bodies (ascomata) consisting of different cell and tissue types. The identification of genes differentially expressed during these developmental processes can contribute greatly to a better understanding of truffle morphogenesis. A cDNA library was constructed from veg...

The price of the truffle species Tuber melanosporum and magnatum can be up to fifty times higher, or even more, than cheapest edible due their appreciated aroma low production levels. This is seriously affected after application treatments for conservation food products, usually thermal (freezing sterilization). Hence, many truffled products that are retailed characterized by use economic value...

It is often seen how a distinctive feature of territory used as brand to create an image that attracts tourists the region. This so-called “territorial marketing”, and together with this brand, connected products services, usually related recreation, gastronomy well-being, are offered. Non-wood forest (NWFPs), such mushrooms, truffles, aromatic medicinal plants, nuts berries, natural local trad...

The aim of this paper is to present as accurately possible the morphological characteristics summer truffle, found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, compare them with previously described specimens other countries regions.
 Well-developed fruiting bodies truffles (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) were oak beech forests on calcareous soils Herzegovina help trained dogs.
 On basis a representative samp...

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...
