Pistacia chinensis Bunge is dioecious. The female and male plants have different economic values. In addition to the large differences in floral organ shape on the outside, the male and female plants also have remarkable differences in ecological adaptability and physiological and biochemical characteristics. Thus, studying whether these differences in biological characteristics between male an...

Oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. As the antioxidant effects of some species of Pistacia have been reported, the protective effects of Pistacia vera L. gum extract (0.1-0.5 g/kg) on oxidative damage following cerebral ischemia were studied in rats. Ischemia was induced using four-vessel occlusion model and evaluated using measurement of m...

BACKGROUND Recent circumstantial evidences are suggesting that an increasing number of Iranian patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis are unresponsive to meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime®). Pistacia atlantica is native plant in Iran (central, western, and eastern regions). Gum obtained Pistacia atlantica has been reported to possess considerable in vitro antimicrobial activity. In this study, w...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is the only edible and cultivated species. economically importance dioecious species in genus Pistacia. There are basic problems pistachio breeding such as flower structure, long juvenile period alternate bearing. These can be overcome not with classical methods, but modern molecular methods. In this study, very high numbers of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), ...
