  • Title: Potential and limitations of Burgundy truffle cultivation.
    Author: Stobbe U, Egli S, Tegel W, Peter M, Sproll L, Büntgen U.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol Biotechnol; 2013 Jun; 97(12):5215-24. PubMed ID: 23666478.
    Abstract:
    Burgundy truffles (Tuber aestivum syn. Tuber uncinatum) are the highly prized fruit bodies of subterranean fungi always occurring in ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with host plants. Successful cultivation can be achieved through artificial mycorrhization and outplanting of mostly oaks and hazel on suitable terrain. Here, we review ecological requirements, the influence of environmental factors, and the importance of molecular techniques for a successful cultivation of T. aestivum across Europe. The historical background and current knowledge of T. aestivum cultivation are discussed in light of its socioeconomic relevance.
