Abstract
Two species of Terfezia (T. arenaria, T. boudieri), two Tirmania speci es (I: nivea, T. pinoyi) and Picoa lefebvrei were characterized by all ozyme analysis. Only the Egyptian population of Tirmania, nivea appear ed fixed like individuals in Tuber, while all the other species showed heterozygosity suggesting reproduction via outbreeding. A clear diffe rence arises between Terfezia, heterozygous for some enzymes, and Tube r, always homozygous.
