Abstract

Many species from the genus Tuber (true truffles) are famous delicacies. Many studies have illustrated the genetic and chemical bases of truffles’ distinctive aroma, which is the most important reason for their popularity. Because of their high economic value, truffles have been cultivated for a long time, with the earliest attempts dating back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The theoretical background of truffle cultivation, such as the ectomycorrhizal symbiotic relationship between truffles and host plants, the reproductive system of truffles and their life cycle, has been extensively explored at different times during the long history of truffle cultivation, utilizing multidisciplinary approaches such as anatomy, genotyping, and whole genome sequencing. Based on these studies, truffle cultivation has evolved from experiential to theoretical and many standardized processes have been established. To date, truffles have been successfully cultivated on several continents, whether they are natively distributed. However, the development of truffle cultivation is uneven across the continents, with Europe and Oceania being better developed while other regions lagging. Similarly, the development of the cultivation of different truffle species is uneven, with one of the best-known species, T. magnatum, still having very limited success in cultivation outside of its native distribution range. Many aspects of truffle biology, including the origin and persistence of male gametes, the timing of fertilization, and their relationship to associated bacteria, deserve further exploration, which will help to better develop truffle cultivation.
