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...

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...

p. atlantica subsp. kurdica, with the local name of baneh, is a wild medicinal plant which grows in kurdistan, iran.  the identification of resistance gene analogs holds great promise for the development of resistant cultivars. a pcr approach with degenerate primers designed according to conserved nbs-lrr (nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat) regions of known disease-resistance (r) gene...

Background: Pistacia is a genus of flowering plants from the Anacardiaceae family that grows in different parts Iran. This has pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Objectives: In this study, we investigated anti-melanogenic effect extracts essential oil unripe fruits P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica on B16F10 cell line. M...

Endophytic fungi live inside plant tissues and increase their resistance to abiotic biotic factors. Our work is concerned with interannual variations of mycoendophyte diversity leaves Pistacia atlantica Desf. dayate Aiat, in the region Laghouat (Algeria) this for spring 2013 2016. The morphological identification revealed presence 26 fungal genera. difference very significant between two years ...
