Phylogenomics, Microbiome and Morphological Insights of Truffles: The Tale of a Sensory Stimulating Ectomycorrhizal Filamentous Fungus

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Extremophilic Fungi

Abstract

Truffles are generally considered as subterraneous ascomycete, capable of forming ectomycorrhizas with plant roots via symbiosis. The fruiting body of truffles are widely appreciated around the world for its distinctive aroma. Although the plantation system for truffles is established, it still faces an array of challenges. The queries are very unique on its own and yet to be resolved. The taxonomic classification seems to be highly complicated and needs proper sampling to achieve progress using advanced technologies. The truffles being an extremophile need precise soil and weather conditions for its growth. The unique feature of truffle is its extreme slow growth rate for rejuvenation under optimum cultivation conditions. While positioning of truffles is a very crucial criterion to understand the type of symbiosis it maintains with different plants. Together with this it is apprehended that it is the plant and the rhizospheric soil which partially determines the microbial community within truffles. This in turn partially contributes in producing the distinctive aroma of truffles. Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that a truffle renders several pharmacogenetic effects on human system, which need more investigation to unravel this exorbitant creation of nature.
