The transition from vegetative mycelium to fruit body in truffles requires differentiation processes which lead to edible fruit bodies (ascomata) consisting of different cell and tissue types. The identification of genes differentially expressed during these developmental processes can contribute greatly to a better understanding of truffle morphogenesis. A cDNA library was constructed from vegetative mycelium RNAs of the white truffle Tuber borchii, and 214 cDNAs were sequenced.

- Researchers used nuclear ribosomal sequence analysis to study the classification of certain Oidiodendron species that interact with mycorrhizal plants.
- The study utilized various analysis methods on 35 ribosomal DNA sequences from 15 potential species, revealing that O. citrinum groups closely with O. maius, while O. tenuissimum and O. griseum do not form clear separate groups.
- Findings suggest that O. citrinum and O. maius could be classified as subspecies instead of distinct species, while the classification of O. griseum and O. tenuissimum remains uncertain.
