Rhodococcus fascians, a phytopathogen that alters plant development, inflicts significant losses in plant production around the world. We report here the complete genome sequence of R. fascians D188, a well-characterized model isolate, and Rhodococcus species PBTS (pistachio bushy top syndrome) 1 and 2, which were shown to be responsible for a disease outbreak in pistachios.

iran isone of the main pistachiogrowersinthe world. kerman province is the largest grower of pistachio and sirjan is one of the most important pistachio production areas of kerman province. it is important to the study of efficiency status of pistachio growers and improvetheir efficiency and optimum use of resources in the production. the purpose of this study was to determinationtechnical effi...

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...

the pistachio gardens in iran rival other countries with 280000 hectares and rank first in the world in terms of annual production 300,000 mts. ecological factors for pistachio planting favor the growth of aspergillus flavus which produce aflatoxin as secondary metabolites which reduces pistachio exports. it is important to control a. flavus and its aflatoxin production to increase pistachio ex...

We present a novel automated strategy (PISTACHIO) for the probabilistic assignment of backbone and sidechain chemical shifts in proteins. The algorithm uses peak lists derived from various NMR experiments as input and provides as output ranked lists of assignments for all signals recognized in the input data as constituting spin systems. PISTACHIO was evaluated by comparing its performance with...

the current study evaluated the effects of electron beam (eb; 10, 20, 30 and 40 kgy), urea and naoh treatments on chemical composition, phenolic compounds, in vitro gas production and in situ ruminal degradability of pistachio by-product (pb). the eb decreased (p < 0.01) neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergent fiber (adf) and acid detergent lignin (adl) contents of pb. treating pb by naoh...

To evaluate the contamination risk of the improper storage of pistachio nuts was studied in the major location of Saudi Arabia by studying the fungi associated with non and salted pistachio nuts. The infection with Aspergillus flavus and A. niger and treatment of this infection with some abiotic factors , salting and fumigation with acetic acid on the invasion and colonization were also studed....

BACKGROUND Tree nut allergy is one of the common potentially life-threatening food allergies in children and adults. Recombinant food allergens offer new perspectives to solve problems of clinical and molecular allergology in diagnosis, research, and therapy of food allergies. So far, superoxide dismutase (s) has been identified as a panallergen and studied in different allergenic sources. Mang...

The common pistachio psylla Agonoscena pistaciae is a key pest of pistachio in Iran. A study was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of psylla nymphs and eggs in a 10 ha pistachio orchard in the Rafsanjan region, southeast of Iran. Three rows, each containing 33 trees (totally 99 trees), were randomly selected in the orchard based on a stratified sampling scheme. In each of the sele...

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of various amounts of treated sunflower meal (SFM) with extracted tannins from pistachio hulls on in vitro gas production and ruminal fermentation in ruminants. The SFM was treated with pistachio extract concentrate (PEC), which contained 111.40 g kg-1 total phenol and 71.30 g kg-1 total tannin per dry matter of extract, at six experimental tre...
