The toxicological and biochemical characteristics of acetylcholinesterases (AChE) in nine populations of the common pistachio psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), were investigated in Kerman Province, Iran. Nine A. pistaciae populations were collected from pistachio orchards, Pistacia vera L. (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), located in Rafsanjan, Anar, Bam, ...

Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers preferentially amplify open reading frames and were used to study the genetic diversity of Tunisian pistachio. In the present study, 43 Pistacia vera accessions were screened using seven SRAP primer pairs. A total of 78 markers was revealed (95.12%) with an average polymorphic information content of 0.850. The results suggest that there is ...

Three new eriophyid species (Phyllocoptinae), Shevtchenkella denticulata sp. n., Notallus pestehae sp. n. and Echinacrus ruthenicus sp. n., were described from Eryngium thyrsoideum Boiss. (Apiaceae), Pistacia vera L. (Anacardiaceae) and Lycium ruthenicum Murray (Solanaceae), respectively. All the three new species were collected from southwest of the East Azerbaijan province, Iran in 2011. It i...

introduction pistachio (pistacia vera l.) is one of the most important export crops of iran which has an important role in non-petroleum exports and has over $800 million benefit per year. however, production of this crop faces many problems in main production centers, especially in energy efficiency and productivity. the pistachio is a native crop of iran and syria. the major producers of pist...

A simplified model for the prediction of carbon balance was developed to elucidate seasonal trend sink-source relationships in bearing and non-bearing pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) branches. Seasonal changes growth rate vegetative (leaf shoot) reproductive (infructescence) organs were monitored branches mature rainfed trees during entire growing season (April–September). Simulations from used ga...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) has earned recognition as a significant crop due to its unique nutrient composition and adaptability the growing threat of climate change. Consequently, utilization remote sensing techniques for non-invasive pistachio monitoring become critically important. This research was conducted in two orchards located Spain, aiming assess effectiveness vegetation indices (VIs...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices) symbiosis on mineral uptake of two pistachio cultivars (pistacia vera cv. qazvini and pistacia vera cv. badami-riz-zarand) grown in the greenhouse under different drought stress levels. drought stress (ds) reduced the mycorrhizal colonization in both cultivars as well as nu...
