Composition of Pistacia khinjuk (Anacardiaceae) Leaf Essential Oil and its Insecticidal Activity on Common Pistachio Psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae (Hem., Psylloidea)

Chemical Profiling and Enzyme Inhibitory Activities of Essential Oil Isolated from Pistacia khinjuk Leaves: Insights On GC‐MS Analysis and Skin Aging‐Relevant Enzymes

“…[27,38] We also noticed the appearance of different components as spathulenol and germacrene B as reported by both Abolghasemi et al and Taran et al, in addition to the predom- inance of oxygenated sesquiterpenes alcohols as similar to our study. [24,39] However, we reported the absence of spathulenol and the appearance of different sesquiterpenes alcohols as τ-muurolol. These discrepancies may be attributed to the differences in environmental factors as the location of collection, time of collection and general climate differences.…”

GC-MS analysis and insecticidal effect of methanol extract of Pistacia khinjuk Stocks leaves

“…It has been reported that the essential oil of P. khinjuk leaves had insecticidal activity on Pistachio Psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae (Hemiptera, Psyllidae). Both essential oil of the tested plant and myrcene caused approximately equal mortalities of 30-45 % on eggs and 65-90 % on nymphs of the insect (Abolghasemi et al, 2018).…”

“…In addition, investigation of the plant extract showed the presence of terpenoid compounds such as spathulenol (2.07 %), myrcene (2.03 %), ρ-cymene (1.67 %), apiol (1.61 %), borneol (0.79 %), and pulegone (0.44 %) in extract of P. khinjuk that have been well documented as active fumigants, repellents, and insecticides toward stored-product insects (Isman, 2006;Abolghasemi et al, 2018). Availability of terpenoid compounds in essential oil of P. khinjuk was previously reported by other researchers (Tahvilian et al, 2017;Abolghasemi et al, 2018).…”

“…The most substance found in essential oil of P. khinjuk aerial part (collected from Kermanshah province, Iran) was γ-terpinene (81 %), follwed by β-pinene (3.9 %) and α-terpinolene (2.4 %) (Tahvilian et al, 2017). Major constituents of essential oil from the leaves of P. khinjuk (collected from Rafsanjan, Iran) were myrcene (18.7 %), α-eudesmol (12.3 %), β-eudesmol (9.3 %), 1,7-di-epi-β-cedrene (7.3 %), bicyclogermacrene (5.6 %) and δ-eudesmol (4.9 %) (Abolghasemi et al, 2018). But limited studies are available on P. khinjuk leaves extract.…”

“…A few reports have been received about the insecticidal activity of Pistacia khinjuk on insect pests. It has been reported that the essential oil of the tested plant had insecticidal activity against eggs and nymphs of Pistachio Psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae (Burckhardt & Lauterer, 1989) (Hemiptera, Psyllidae), the key pest of cultivated pistachios (Abolghasemi et al, 2018). Also, similar studies on the lethal effect of the extracts of other species of pistachios such as Pistacia lentiscus Linnaeus have been conducted on the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) (Pascual-Villalobos and Robledo, 1998) and the essential oils of P. terebinthus Linnaeus, P. lentiscus and P. vera Linnaeus on the adults of Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Aslan et al, 2004).…”
