[ 1 ] - Foliar Application of Arginine Improves Vegetative and Reproductive Characteristics of Bearing Pistachio Trees

Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural crops in Iran.  There is a unique role for amino acids in the plant response to stressful conditions, and special physiological role for Arginine (Arg) compared to other amino acids.  The effects of this compound were investigated on vegetative and reproductive characters of bearing pistachio trees of ‘Ahmad-Aghaei’. The experiments were done...

[ 2 ] - Evaluation of Freezing Damage in some Pistachio Seedling Rootstocks

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the freezing damage in some pistachio rootstocks by ion leakage and pH changes of leaked solution. A factorial experiment was carried out in randomized block designs (RBD) with three factors: Temperature (A) including 4 ̊C, 0 ̊C, -2 ̊C, -4 ̊C, -6 ̊C, Time (B) including 3, 12, 24h , and Rootstock (C) including P. vera cv 'Badami Zarand' (V13) and 'Sar...

[ 3 ] - بررسی تنوع ژنتیکی تعدادی از ژنوتیپ‌های نر و مادۀ پسته (Pistacia vera L.) با استفاده از نشانگر مولکولی RAPD

 به منظور مطالعۀ تنوع ژنتیکی برخی از ژنوتیپ‌های نر پسته، تعداد 16 ژنوتیپ نر و 8 ژنوتیپ مادۀ پسته از مؤسسۀ تحقیقات پستۀ ایران (IPRI) انتخاب شدند. 12 آغازگر مورد استفاده، مجموعاً 65 قطعه DNA را تکثیر کردند که از بین آن‌ها تعداد 48 قطعه چندشکل و 17 قطعه یک‌شکل بودند. تجزیۀ خوشه‌ای براساس ماتریس تشابه و ضریب تشابه جاکارد و به‌روش UPGMA، ژنوتیپ‌های پستۀ مورد مطالعه را در فاصله تشابه 49/0 در پنج گروه ...

[ 4 ] - Genetic diversity assessment of male and female pistachio genotypes based on ISSR markers

Genetic study of pistachio, especially male genotypes due to the effects of pollen on nut quality and quantity and next generation characterizations, help to improve its management and breeding programs. We studied the genetic diversity among 20 male and 36 female pistachio genotypes using ISSR marker. In total 178 DNA frgments were proliferated using 12 primers that 169 fragments were polymorp...

[ 5 ] - Optimizing in vitro Culture of Pistacia vera ‘Badami-Riz-Zarand’ Using Axillary Buds

Pistacia vera ‘Badami-Riz-Zarand’ is used as rootstock in Iranian pistachio orchards due to the low sensitivity to the Phytophthora, resistance to salinity, and graft compatibility with commercial cultivars. In this study, the effects of culture media (MS and DKW) along with type and concentration of plant growth regulators were investigated on micropropagation of this rootstock. The highest gr...
