DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3017
Abstract: Abstract Ecology of hypogeic mycorrhizal fungi, such as truffles, remains largely unknown, both in terms of their geographical distribution and their environmental niches. Occurrence of true truffles (Tuber spp.) was therefore screened using specific polymerase… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11032-017-0619-7
Abstract: Cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a highly heterozygous autotetraploid crop species, and this creates challenges for traditional line development and molecular breeding. Recent availability of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array with 8303 features and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12230-024-09972-4
Abstract: Variety selection and cultural management practices are the most common considerations for improved profitability in potato production systems. Planting density investigations have led to both within and between-row spacing recommendations to maximize profitability for commonly… read more here.

Effect of slug mycophagy on Tuber aestivum spores.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Fungal biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.funbio.2021.05.002
Abstract: Truffles in the genus Tuber produce subterranean fruiting bodies that are not able to actively discharge their spores in the environment. For this reason, truffles depend on mycophagous animals for reproduction. Fungus consumption (mycophagy) is… read more here.
