The polymers from mastic gum of Pistacia lentiscose and subspecies of Pistacia atlantica, (sp. kurdica, mutica and cabolica) have been isolated and characterised by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and 13C NMR spectroscopy as cis-1,4-poly-?-myrcenes. They were screened against Helicobacter pylori and other Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to evaluate their antimicrobial action. In or...

Ecophysiological characteristics of "Ahmadaghaii" "Ohadi" "Kallehghuchi" cultivars (as scions) on four pistachio rootstocks (Pistacia vera Cv. Badami riz, P. vera Cv. Sarakhs, P. atlantica sub sp. Mutica, P. atlantica sub sp. Atlantica) were evaluated during the spring and summer seasons of 2005 in the Iran's Pistachio Research Institute (IPRI). Ecophysiological characteristics such as photosyn...

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...

the distribution of phytophthora parsiana a high-temperature tolerant newly described species was studied in southern iran and examined its host range in woody perennial plant species in greenhouse condition under high inoculum potential. among different plant species examined, almonds were highly susceptible by different isolates. from 24 woody plants inoculated, the disease severity in descen...

The chemical entities of Mastic, Kurdica, Mutica and Cabolica gums from genus Pistacia have been isolated and characterised by GC-Mass Spectrometry, High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Column Chromatography. These chemical entities were screened for anti-microbial activities against nine strains of Helicobacter pylori and some other Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The most bioa...
