“…These products could be a good source of anticholinesterase compounds (Hacıbekiroğlu et al 2015), and have antioxidant and urease inhibitory activity (Asghar Hatamnia et al 2015;Uddin et al 2015). Different studies evaluated species and subspecies of pistachios to find their ecological distribution and their karyotype (Ayaz & Namli 2009). Pistacia vera L. belonging to the Anacardiaceae family, is a small tree originally from Central Asia and the Middle east (Monastra et al 1987).…”

A gas chromatographic with flame ionization detector (GC-MS FID) method for the identification and quantification of fatty acids based on the extraction of lipids and derivatisation of free acids to form methyl esters was developed and validated. The proposed method was evaluated to a number of standard FAs, and Bronte pistachios samples were used for that purpose and to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. In this regard, repeatability, mean and standard deviation of the analytical procedure were calculated. The results obtained have demonstrated oleic acid as the main component of Bronte pistachios (72.2%) followed by linoleic acid (13.4%) and showed some differences in composition with respect to Tunisian, Turkish and Iranian pistachios.

The Molecular Cytogenetic Characterization of Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) Suggests the Arrest of Recombination in the Largest Heteropycnotic Pair HC1

This paper represents the first molecular cytogenetic characterization of the strictly dioecious pistachio tree (Pistacia vera L.). The karyotype was characterized by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes for 5S and 45S rDNAs, and the pistachio specific satellite DNAs PIVE-40, and PIVE-180, together with DAPI-staining. PIVE-180 has a monomeric unit of 176–178 bp and high sequence homology between family members; PIVE-40 has a 43 bp consensus monomeric unit, and is most likely arranged in higher order repeats (HORs) of two units. The P. vera genome is highly heterochromatic, and prominent DAPI positive blocks are detected in most chromosomes. Despite the difficulty in classifying chromosomes according to morphology, 10 out of 15 pairs (2n = 30) could be distinguished by their unique banding patterns using a combination of FISH probes. Significantly, the largest pair, designated HC1, is strongly heteropycnotic, shows differential condensation, and has massive enrichment in PIVE-40 repeats. There are two types of HC1 chromosomes (type-I and type-II) with differing PIVE-40 hybridization signal. Only type-I/II heterozygotes and type-I homozygotes individuals were found. We speculate that the differentiation between the two HC1 chromosomes is due to suppression of homologous recombination at meiosis, reinforced by the presence of PIVE-40 HORs and differences in PIVE-40 abundance. This would be compatible with a ZW sex-determination system in the pistachio tree.

The genus Pistacia L. belongs to the Anacardiaceae family and includes at least eleven species. Cytogenetic studies addressing the genus Pistacia are rather few. Chromosome numbers of the different Pistacia species, revealed by these studies, are questionable due to the fact that poor chromosome counting protocols were used, and these protocols are hampered by the extremely smallsized chromosomes of Pistacia species. The aim of this study was to develop a more effective method to resolve the chromosome numbers in Pistacia species using a fluorescent microscope. The method described here is modified from the Sigma Plant Protoplast Digest/Wash Solution protocol. The method used here is highly effective for karyotyping analysis and studying population genetics of Pistacia species. Moreover, it is easy and can be reproduced for other species that have smaller chromosomes. This method can be used for plant herbarium specimens or field plants. This study provides valuable chromosomal data for cytogeneticists and plant breeders who are working on this genus. It provides additional insight into understanding the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships among Pistacia species. The chromosomes described here are also suitable for gene and genome mapping.
