The formation of chlamydospores of Phytophthora parsiana, a newly described high temperature tolerant pathogen of woody plants, were investigated in culture media and in infected roots of susceptible host plants. Different solid agar media and cleared V-8 juice broth were inoculated with different isolates of P. parsiana and incubated for four days at room temperature before they were transferr...

The carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is the most important pest of pomegranate in Iran. As it has been rarely recorded on other host plants, control methods have mostly been focused on its populations on pomegranate. In this study, shapes and sizes of wings were compared in populations on 4 host plants (pomegranate, fig, pistachio and walnut) using a l...

in this study, the situation of iran, u.s and turkey's pistachio export is investigated. to this purpose, revealed comparative advantage (rca) index is calculated based on agricultural and total economy export, separately, then forecasted by using auto- regressive integrated moving average (arima) approached, for 2008-2013. the results show that considering both commodity baskets, turkey a...

Among agricultural products in Iran, pistachio is one of the major export products that can produce foreign currency. The present study evaluated factors affecting pistachio export earnings instability and its effect on agricultural export during the studied period. For this purpose, export earnings instability index was calculated using "average absolute difference between export earnings and ...

In light of the recent data from BES collaboration for χc0 → V V , PP and SS, and from CLEO-c for ηη, η′η′ and ηη′, we present a detailed analysis of the decays of heavy quarkonia into light meson pairs such as χc0,2 → V V , PP and SS in a recently proposed parametrization scheme. An overall agreement with the data is achieved in χc0,2 → V V and PP , while in χc0 → SS we find that a possible ex...

introduction : pistachio (pistaciavera l.) is a tasty nut and a good source of nutrients. ithas a high content of numerous beneficial nutritive and bioactive compounds such as proteins, carbohydrate, moisture, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other micronutrients compounds, but the most exceptional components are the amount of fats and especially unsaturated fatty acids. therefore, this nut is hig...

in order to study the genetic diversity among some male pistachio genotypes,16 male pistachio genotypes and 8 female pistachio cultivars were selected from iranian pistachio research institute (ipri). 12 rapd primers were used which totally produced 65 bands that among them 48 bands were polymorphic and 17 bands were monomorphic. cluster analysis based on similarity matrix and jaccard similarit...

pistachio nut (pistacia vera l.) is one of the most delicious and nutritious nuts in the world. in order to increase the added value of the pistachio nuts, it is necessary to develop new products to meet consumer needs. this is the first paper on pistachio halva. the product was developed using pistachio paste (as main ingredient), mixture of sugar-glucose, egg white and citric acid. the effect...
