Pistachio genetic variety includes a wide range of female variations and male genotypes, Iran is regarded as one the critical sites for this diversity in world. The genus Pistacia consists eleven species that only have edible nuts are commercially important. Four important pistachios include vera, P. khinjuk Stocks, eurycarpa Yalt. (P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica Zoh.), Dsef found Iran. Genetic as...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of water stress on the growth and mineral concentrations in the leaves and roots of four pistachio seedling rootstocks including pistacia vera ‘badami-riz-zarand’, ‘ghazvini’, ‘sarakhs’ and p. mutica. irrigation treatments were 100% etc (control), 65% etc (medium stress) and 30% etc (severe stress) applying for 75 days on four months old pistachio...

    Background and objectives: Halitosis as a common dentistry ailment which has a prevalence of around 50% of the adult population. There are many dental formulations in traditional Persian pharmacy called “Gharagher”, “Mazmazeh”, “Sonoun”, etc for treatment of halitosis. In the present study, we have tried to describe the step by step moder...

the distribution of phytophthora parsiana a high-temperature tolerant newly described species was studied in southern iran and examined its host range in woody perennial plant species in greenhouse condition under high inoculum potential. among different plant species examined, almonds were highly susceptible by different isolates. from 24 woody plants inoculated, the disease severity in descen...

dpph radical-scavenging activity of the bene hull oil (bho), sesame oil (seo), rice bran oil (rbo), the oils' methanolic (ch3oh/h2o, 80:20 v/v) or hexane extracts, and their unsaponifiable matters fraction were measured and compared with each other. as a radical-scavenger, seo was significantly stronger than rbo and bho, respectively. unlike bho and rbo, the unsaponifiable (usm) fraction of the...

pistacia atlantica is the most important tree species for the economy of many rural areas in west of iran, but no effort has been made for the genetic improvement of this species. the aim of this investigation was to study the genetic variation and inheritance of early growth traits in p. atlantica. for this purpose, three wild pistachio populations comprising 60 randomly selected adult trees f...

The chemical entities of Mastic, Kurdica, Mutica and Cabolica gums from genus Pistacia have been isolated and characterised by GC-Mass Spectrometry, High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Column Chromatography. These chemical entities were screened for anti-microbial activities against nine strains of Helicobacter pylori and some other Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The most bioa...

Objective(s): Metabolic syndrome is a multiplex risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Since some dietary fats such as mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) modify metabolic syndrome components the aim of the present study was to evaluate  the preventive effects of mixture, kernel and hull oils of wild pistachio (WP) (Pistacia atlantica mutica) as good sources of MUFA on different f...
