In a greenhouse experiment aimed to compare drought resistance, photosystem II efficiency was evaluated using chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and chlorophyll content of four pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) rootstocks based on a completely randomized design (CRD) as factorial with drought treatment (PEG + Hoagland solution) at four levels (0, -0.5, -1 and -2 MPa) and four pistachio rootstocks(A...

The effect of soil salinity on plant growth is due to two factors, namely, increase in osmotic pressure of soil solution and the ionic composition of salt. The present experiment was conducted to obtain information about the response of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) to salinity and ionic composition of the salt. Salinity with different relative composition of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate w...

Dust is considered as one of the most widespread air pollutants. The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of dust load on the leaf attributes of the nut pistachio tree (Pistacia vera L.) planted in Badrood region (Kashan, central Iran) with a relatively high aeolian dust pollution. Some leaf characteristics including specific leaf area (SLA), relative water content (RWC), leaf nitro...

To investigate the effect of manganese (Mn) and salinity on some growth traits and chemical composition of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) seedlings, a factorial experiment was carried out with two factors of salinity (0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 mM NaCl) and Mn (0, 12, 24 and 36 µM Mn from MnSO4 source) as completely randomized design with four replicates, in greenhouse in perlite medium. Results sho...
