this study was conducted to determine the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices) symbiosis on mineral uptake of two pistachio cultivars (pistacia vera cv. qazvini and pistacia vera cv. badami-riz-zarand) grown in the greenhouse under different drought stress levels. drought stress (ds) reduced the mycorrhizal colonization in both cultivars as well as nu...

using plant probiotic bacteria, which can induce systemic tolerance in plants, is one of the most important strategy to reduce the damage of drought stress in plants. in this study the effect of four fluorescent strains (t17-4, vupf5, 428, cha0) was investigated on resistance of two pistachio cultivars (badami-rize-zarand and sarakhs) against the drought stress. a completely randomized design w...

Pistachio as a strategic product has a particular position among Iranian productions and is one of the most important non-oil exports after carpet. In this study, after primary processing such as dehulling, washing, drying and roasting, pistachio nuts were packed in four different atmospheres including N2, CO2, vacuum and ambient air. Storage temperatures were 20 C and 40 C for a 12 month perio...

The potential of multi-elemental fingerprinting based on inductively coupled plasma optical emission measurements (ICP OES) was examined to classify pistachio cultivars. Five cultivar samples were collected during the harvesting period 2017–2018 from Kerman in Iran. ability multivariate data analysis approaches, such as principal component (PCA) and analysis-linear discriminant (PCA-LDA) have b...

OBJECTIVES Pistachio nut ingestion (3 oz./d, two weeks) was tested for effects on exercise performance and 21-h post-exercise recovery from inflammation, oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, and metabolite shifts. METHODS Using a randomized, crossover approach, cyclists (N = 19) engaged in two 75-km time trials after 2-weeks pistachio or no pistachio supplementation, with a 2-week washout pe...

Several species of Septoria are associated with leaf and fruit spot of pistachio (Pistacia vera), though their identity has always been confused, making identification problematic. The present study elucidates the taxonomy of the Septoria spp. associated with pistachio, and distinguishes four species associated with this host genus. Partial nucleotide sequence data for five gene loci, ITS, LSU,...

The carob moth, Apomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) (Lepidoptera Pyralidae), is a serious pest of pomegranate in Iran and a well known pest of many fruits from a wide range of plant families as well as dried fruits during storage. Development and demographic parameters of A. ceratoniae were studied in a growth chamber at temperature of 30 ± 1 °C, relative humidity of 75 ± 5% and a photoperiod of 16:...

abstract in order to investigate correlation between the rate (amount) of micro and macro elements and protein percentage in pistachio kernels of six cultivar including: akbari, abbasali, kaleh gouchi, ahmadaghaie, ouhadi and khanjari with aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin b1 production, the amount of micro and macro elements were measured using atomic absorption, micro-kjeldhal digestion...

abstract to study the effects of xenia and methaxenia on the pistachio nut, 4 male genotypes from among all male genotypes provided by rafsanjan pistachio research institute were selected. the flowering period of the chosen genotypes was the same as 3 female cultivars of kalleghoochi, ohadi, and ahmadaghaii. by using split plot in the form of completely randomized blocks design, we conducted va...
