Typing Tuber ectomycorrhizae by polymerase chain amplification of the internal transcribed spacer of rDNA and the sequence characterized amplified region markers.
Identification of some economically important Tuber species using classical morphological characteristics is sometimes difficult. We report here the molecular characterization of a species coming from China, Tuber indicum, mistaken with Tuber melanosporum species. Using restriction analysis of the amplified internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of rDNA, ITS sequence analysis, and sequence characterized amplified region markers, with DNA from fruit bodies or mycorrhizae, genetic variation was found between these two species, allowing to differentiate and characterize them.
