Giomaro, Sisti and Zambonelli discuss the problems encountered in the stady of edible ECM, with major emphasis on truffle. References to root culture suggest a number of promising avenues for research. One of the difficulties encountered in studying species such as Tuber or Cantharellus spp. is that their biology involves interactions with a large number of soil bacteria. Root cultures should prove useful in determining which species are critical for the development of the mycelia as well as fruit bodies. Understanding signalling, biochemical exchanges, and mutualist physiology should be improved using this approach. The maintenance and production of inoculums should also benefit fron monoxenic culture.

Abstract
Giomaro, Sisti and Zambonelli discuss the problems encountered in the stady of edible ECM, with major emphasis on truffle. References to root culture suggest a number of promising avenues for research. One of the difficulties encountered in studying species such as Tuber or Cantharellus spp. is that their biology involves interactions with a large number of soil bacteria. Root cultures should prove useful in determining which species are critical for the development of the mycelia as well as fruit bodies. Understanding signalling, biochemical exchanges, and mutualist physiology should be improved using this approach. The maintenance and production of inoculums should also benefit fron monoxenic culture.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
