Even worse idea, but much more realistic:
-add a fungicide resistance gene into your truffle strain. Inoculate your tree with this GMO strain, treat the soil regularly with appropriate fungicide. This will kill off the competing fungi, leaving only your strain.
- vintermann 5y agoI have a hunch that wouldn't work well. Trees often use more than one type of mycorrhizal fungi, and there's a lot we don't know about why, how, what causes the mycelium to start the production of fruiting bodies etc.
- labawi 5y agoNot to worry, they will simply use a low dose, enough to slow down the competing fungi, breeding fungicide resistance in the process.
