Research Status and Significant Progress on the Genus Tuber

摘要:

块菌属(Tuber F. H. Wigg.)是一类具有重要经济和生态价值的子囊菌门地下生的外生菌根真菌。因能与多种树木共生而在森林生态系统中占据重要地位, 子囊果具独特的香味使其在欧洲市场久负盛名, 一直以来, 该属颇受国内外学者的广泛关注。本文综述了该属在系统分类学、生态学、生物化学及人工栽培等方面的研究概况和进展, 分析了目前研究中存在的问题及尚待解决的主要问题, 并提出了针对性的建议。

Abstract:

Tuber F. H. Wigg. is an ecologically and economically important ectomycorrhizal ascomycetes that produce subterranean ascomata known as truffles. Some species in this genus are widely appreciated for their organoleptic properties. Their taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biochemistry and cultivation have been studied and great advance have been achieved. In this paper, the research history and recent advance on above aspects were summarized. Also, special proposal for further studies was also commented and recommended.
