The genetic diversity of a large number of pistachio genotypes grown in Iran is not exactly known. Most of the studies on genetic diversity of Iranian pistachio varieties are based on morphological characteristics or isozyme markers. In the present study, the genetic diversity of selected pistachio cultivars along with some wild species were evaluated by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (...

the majority members of the family coccinellidae are predators, so they have received considerable research attention because of their potential to act as biocontrol agents. the coccinellids complex of pistachio trees was monitored at both cultivated and wild pistachio plantations in shahr-e babak (kerman, iran) during 2009 - 2010. sampling was carried out randomly in the cultivated pistachio p...

The study was conducted to evaluate the pomological attributes and chemical composition of 35 pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) genotypes, including fifteen wild-types and twenty of the important cultivar pistachios from Iran. The results revealed that cultivar pistachios in terms of important characters such as the split nuts (78.57%), blank nuts (6.96%), 100-nuts weight (118.86 g), and si...

Investigation and Comparison of Slenderness Coefficient Old Persian Oak Wild Pistachio Trees in Different Site Conditions the Middle Zagros

the wild pistachio (pistacia atlantica mutika) exists in 2.4 million hectares of iranian forest. in spite of high nutritional and medical value of this fruit, its use and processing are still performed manually. the objectives of this research are to design, to construct and to evaluate the performance of a pistachio hulling machine. the pistachio of kerman province was chosen as the case of st...

ORIGIN AND HISTORY The pistachio is native to western Asia and Asia Minor, where it is still found growing wild in numerous hot, dry locations in Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iran, Iraq, India, Southern Europe and the desert countries of Asia and Africa. It was introduced to Europe at the beginning of the Christian era. The first pistachio introductions to the United States were by the USDA plant...
