“…These are ornamental trees found in California, as well as a number of other states ranging from the Southwest to the Southeast of the United States including Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. The approximately 20 species in the genus Pistacia are native to Central Asia, the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, 4 and grow favorably in warm, arid climates. Of the approximately 20 Pistacia species, Pistacia vera , the pistachio, is the only species cultivated for commercial use.…”

Oxidant-induced damage to equine erythrocytes from exposure toPistacia atlantica, Pistacia terebinthus, andPistacia chinensis

Two horses were referred for methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia following 5 acute deaths in their herd from an unidentified toxin source. Horses have a greater risk than other mammalian species of developing methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia following ingestion of oxidizing toxins, due to deficiencies in the mechanisms that protect against oxidative damage in erythrocytes. Their susceptibility to oxidative erythrocyte damage is evident in the numerous cases of red maple (Acer rubrum) toxicosis. The suspected toxins causing A. rubrum toxicosis are tannic acid, gallic acid, and a metabolite of gallic acid, pyrogallol. These compounds can be found in a variety of plants, posing a risk to equine health. In order to quickly identify toxin sources, 2 rapid in vitro assays were developed to screen plant extracts for the ability to induce methemoglobin formation or cause hemolysis in healthy equine donor erythrocytes. The plant extract screening focused on 3 species of the genus Pistacia: P. atlantica, P. terebinthus, and P. chinensis, which were located in the horse pasture. Extracts of the seeds and leaves of each species induced methemoglobin formation and resulted in hemolysis, with seed extracts having greater potency. The in vitro assays used in the current study provide a useful diagnostic method for the rapid identification of oxidizing agents from unidentified sources. There is no effective treatment for oxidative erythrocyte damage in horses, making rapid identification and removal of the source essential for the prevention of poisoning.

“…Biological stress of pistacia was studied by Seydi et al (2015), Parsa and Karimian (1975), Ranjbar et al (2002), Chelli-Chaabouni et al (2010), and Bastam et al (2013). Al-Saghir (2010) in the study of genus Pistacia L. indicated that flowers are small, monoecious, without petal and at panicle type of inflorescences. This study also showed that flowers are monoecious and are created from female pedicel in complex panicle and on separate pedicels, as well as have 4-6 stamens, 2 or 3 sepals and the 0-1 bract.…”

“…The number of stamens in the genus Pistacia has been reported 4-6 pcs by Hormaza and Polito (1996), 3-5 pcs by Shiyan (2001), and 4-5 pcs in species P. chinensis by Zeng-Fang et al (2010). Al-saghir (2010) in the study of genus Pistacia L. used bracteole term for non-bracteal excrescences surrounding flowers, as well as male and female flowers of this genus have 1-3 small bracts and 2-7 bracteoles. In addition, Endress (2007) in a study of several species of Pistacia L. introduced non-bracteal excrescences as sepals and reported its numbers in male flowers of P. lenticus same as jmbr.ccsenet.org Vol.…”

“…The embryo sac in the genus (Grundwag, 1976) and species (Lin, Crane, & Polito 1984) has Polygonum-type. Nevertheless, there are few studies on male flowers (Al-Saghir, 2010;Asaja, 2006;Azouaou and Souvré, 1993;Bachelier and Endress, 2007;Shiyan, Jain, and Mijiti, 2001;25-Xu-Xin et al, 2011;Zeng-Fang et al, 2010). Most of these studies have been conducted on morphological structure, and less attention has been paid to flower development in pistachio.…”

Plant growth and development are adversely affected by salinity. In order to study the effects of salinity on male gametophyte development steps in pistachio plant, an experiment was conducted in two areas in Golshan Anar with equal conditions: a control area (A) that was irrigated with fresh water well, and the other area (B) with salty water and EC values 14 dS.m-1 NaCl solution. A sampling of flowers was performed in two areas of Golshan Anar in the spring based on a completely randomized design with three replications. Male gametophyte development steps in pistachio plant were examined using conventional cell histology techniques and light microscopy observations and were then compared with samples subjected to no salinity stress. The results showed that some stages of male gametophyte development: (1) the anther undergoing normal development which is tetrasporangiate, (2) cytokinesis occurring simultaneously with meiosis in the microspore mother cell, the tetrahedral tetrads, (3) microspores being generated after meiosis by microsporogenesis were more or less irregular in shape during the contraction period. Finally, the abnormal shape and structure of the number of cases reviewed in three replicates of pollens studied can be one of the important factors affecting the decrease in the product.

“…All these studies pave a way to study the complete mechanism of the fermentation pathway of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C to find its suitable and biologically significant homologues from known structures to consider them within other yeast species like Saccharomyces cerevisiae YJM789, Candida glabrata CBS138, Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-1140, Ashbya gossypii ATCC10895 based on the desired constraint set of requirements [7]. Recently a phylogenetic analysis was attempted on Pistacia L. for a completely different objective to extract evolutionarily conserved information, based on morphological data [8]. Ultimate objective of this multi-component, or multiple gene based optimization analysis is to scratch the homologous variants of all possible genes which might be functioning at sub-optimal expression levels under selected set of constraints.…”

Abstract-Fermentation products are indigenous to many civilizations, and they have been produced by industries since a long time. Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C (commonly known as baker's yeast) is the strain mainly used in the Glucose based fermentation industries. We have seen the use of same yeast strain at different places with different Phenotypic Constraints. The way to improve the adaptability of considered strain for desired phenotypic conditions, using smart selection of genes through cybernetic modeling is illustrated. Phylogenetic homologues for all S. cerevisiae S288c Glucose Fermentation pathway genes were screened to search evolutionarily related functional domains in other yeast strains like Saccharomyces cerevisiae YJM789, Candida glabrata CBS138, Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-1140, Ashbya gossypii ATCC10895 etc., which are adapted naturally in different set of environment. We observed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae YJM789, Candida glabrata CBS138, Ashbya gossypii ATCC10895, Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-1140 possess highly conserved functional domains, which can be carefully selected based on usage. This study aims at designing an algorithm to select and incorporate evolutionary homologues for genes of a considered strain, which mostly show sub-optimal performance in the desired set of experimental constraints. Such a consideration of native microenvironment and evolutionary closeness in the selection of functional homologues of the entire genetic set can thus be significantly fruitful.
