in order to optimize callus induction in pistacia atlantica desf. subsp. kurdica rech. f., the effect of different plant growth regulator (pgr) combinations were studied. inflorescence axis explants were cultured on wpm medium supplemented with 1, 2 and 3 mg/l of tdz or 1, 2 and 3 mg/l of ba, in combination with 1mg/l different auxins: 2, 4-d,  naa  and iba . callus initiation was observed in a...

In this study, the essential oil (EO) of Pistacia atlantica subsp. kurdica was added at the rate of 10 g/kg of daily diet of rainbow trout and its effect on gut microbiota (Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus spp., total count), growth performance and antioxidant status of rainbow trout fillet was investigated. Sixty apparently healthy rainbow trout with an approximate weight of 150 g ±3.5 were r...

The polymers from mastic gum of Pistacia lentiscose and subspecies of Pistacia atlantica, (sp. kurdica, mutica and cabolica) have been isolated and characterised by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and 13C NMR spectroscopy as cis-1,4-poly-?-myrcenes. They were screened against Helicobacter pylori and other Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to evaluate their antimicrobial action. In or...

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...

The effect of four water salinity levels (0.75, 5, 10 and 15 dS.m -1 ) on growth indices and physiological parameters in some wild pistachio (P. atlantica, P. atlantica subsp. kurdica, P. atlantica subsp. mutica and P. atlantica subsp. cabulica) were investigated under greenhouse conditions. Leaf dry weight was reduced to about 30-54% at ECw 10 dS.m -1 . Chemical analysis of shoot and root indi...

In order to optimize callus induction in Pistacia atlantica Desf. subsp. kurdica Rech. f., the effect of different plant growth regulator (PGR) combinations were studied. Inflorescence axis explants were cultured on WPM medium supplemented with 1, 2 and 3 mg/L of TDZ or 1, 2 and 3 mg/L of BA, in combination with 1mg/l different auxins: 2, 4-D,  NAA  and IBA .
