X-ray images of pistachio nuts on conveyor trays for product inspection are considered. The rst step in such a processor is to locate each individual item and place it in a separate le for input to a classiier to determine the quality of each nut. This paper considers new techniques to: detect each item (each nut can be in any orientation, we employ new rotation-invariant lters to locate each i...

Background: Contamination of stored pistachio nuts to Aspergillus section Flavi and aflatoxins (AFs) as well as effective parameters on fungal growth and AF production during storage was assayed. Methods: Twenty one pistachio nut samples were taken from some warehouse of Damghan county. Different parameters of storage, including temperature, relative humidity, and pest infestation were recorded...

Pistacia Šera ‘Kerman’ (pistachio nut) typically produces high numbers of seedless or blank fruits. Patterns of vascular transport into fruits and ovules were studied over 3 years by following the movement of disodium fluorescein solution from cut branches into developing fruitlets. Early in the season, vascular conductivity is intact through to the chalazal end of the ovule. Soon afterwards, t...

in this research, we studied physical, chemical and biochemical characteristics of pistachio entitled pistacia vera cv. daneshmandi and was compared to three pistachio including of badami sefid, kalle ghoochi and akbari. the examined characteristics were fresh and dry weight of seed, green shell and also kernel, weight of hard shell, seedless and early opening nut, comparing the seed and kernel...

In this study the artificial pollination of pistachio was investigated. Two types of pollen of local selective genotypes (Q1 and Q2) which were different pollinizers were used. The experiment had six treatments. Qazvini and Ohadi cultivars were pollinated with supplementary pollinations as treatment which was covered with cotton bag, natural pollination as a control which was not covered and tw...

The European Union created a Green Deal Program (EGDP). This program aims at sustainable economy through the transformation of challenges related to climate and environment. main goal EGDP is neutrality by 2050. increase alternative biomass residues utilization from various food processing industries cooperation in energy waste management sector required meet these expectations. Nut shells are ...

Doster, M. A., Cotty, P. J., and Michailides, T. J. 2014. Evaluation of the atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus strain AF36 in pistachio orchards. Plant Dis. 98:948-956. The atoxigenic strain Aspergillus flavus AF36, which has been extensively used as a biocontrol agent in commercial corn and cotton fields to reduce aflatoxin contamination, was applied in research pistachio orchards from 2002 to 2005...

Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural crops in Iran.  There is a unique role for amino acids in the plant response to stressful conditions, and special physiological role for Arginine (Arg) compared to other amino acids.  The effects of this compound were investigated on vegetative and reproductive characters of bearing pistachio trees of ‘Ahmad-Aghaei’. The experiments were done...

Background: The pistachio is a nut produced by about 20 species of shrub. Present-day studies show the health benefits of pistachio in preventing or treating diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS), and erectile dysfunction. Materials and Methods: MEDLINE / PubMed, and Google Scholar databases were searched using the keywords of Pistacia ver...
