ECONOMICALLY AND ALIMENTARY IMPORTANT TRUFFLE SPECIES, ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRUFFLE CULTURE IN XIROMERO REGION
Abstract
Subterranean Fungi of the genus Tuber live and grow only in symbiosis, with certain trees or plants roots (various species of oak, hazel, pine, linden, poplar, juniper, etc.), requiring specific pedoclimatic conditions. The truffle is a plant product, particularly rich in nitrogen, minerals, lipids, carbohydrates, organic acids, cellulose, colored substances, etc. Among the numerous existing species of truffle, just some of them are economically and alimentary important, such as: white truffle (Tuber magnatum), black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), the summer truffle (Tuber aestivum), whitish truffle (Tuber borchii), Tuber uncinatum etc. Establishment of truffle plantations can be achieved only with inoculated seedlings in specialized nurseries and under controlled conditions. Seedling inoculation is done through several methods, depending on the spores of the truffle species used, but also on the host plant species used.The papers published in the journal are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License, which permits unrestricted, non-commercial use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the work is properly cited.
