sex determination in pistacia as a dioecious plant is economically desirable. identification of the male and female plants has a great value for pistacia yield production. in the present study, leaf samples from four female plants from cultivars of pistacia including akbary, akbar aghaei, fandoghi, and kalleh ghochi as well as male plants were used for rapd pcr amplification. among 32 primers w...

The hydrodistilled essential oils from Pistacia vera.L stem exudates have been tested against three bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus spp) using three methods: agar disc diffusion, determination of MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and in the liquid phase by Maruzella method. The results obtained showed that essential oil resin of P. vera L. has antimicrobial ac...

Pistacia vera L., a member of Anacardiaceae family, has been used for sedation and analgesia in traditional medicine. In this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects as well as acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of P. vera leaves were investigated in mice. The antinociceptive activity was studied using hot plate and writhing tests. The effect of the extracts a...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of water stress on the growth and mineral concentrations in the leaves and roots of four pistachio seedling rootstocks including pistacia vera ‘badami-riz-zarand’, ‘ghazvini’, ‘sarakhs’ and p. mutica. irrigation treatments were 100% etc (control), 65% etc (medium stress) and 30% etc (severe stress) applying for 75 days on four months old pistachio...

oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. as the antioxidant effects of some species of pistacia have been reported, the protective effects of pistacia vera l. gum extract (0.1-0.5 g/kg) on oxidative damage following cerebral ischemia were studied in rats. ischemia was induced using four-vessel occlusion model and evaluated using measurement of m...
