“…Being in the top ten one of knot of Sahara-Gobi deserts family Chenopodiaceae (Amaranthaceae) is important, as a result of Irano-Turanian deserts influence. It is notable, that this family has the same position in floristic spectrum of pistachio-woodlands of Saharan Atlas -influence of Sahara deserts (Benaradj & al. 2015a).…”

“…It should be marked, that in diffrent areas (for example, South Caucasus, Middle Asia and Saharan Atlas) in the floristic spectra of pistachio-woodlands ecosystems are mainly same families dominate (Malysheva 1989;Aleksanyan 2011a;Benaradj & al. 2015a).…”

The floristic composition of pistachio-woodland (Pistacieta atlantici) of Georgia (South Caucasus) is studied. 250 species of vascular plants, which belong to 174 genera and 50 families, were recorded. Floristic structure, composition of chorotypes and life forms are commented. Based on the systematic structure of this flora and composition of chorotypes, 3 the main directions of florogenetic connections are identified: 1. South-West Asia, 2. Mediterranean, 3. Eurasian steppe. Attenuated form shows the impact of Iran-Turan deserts and connections to Europe. It was found that the formation of pistachio-woodland of Georgia was implemented in the bosom of Ancient Mediterranean with close contact with the boreal flora. Connection with savannas is not observed.

“…In the southwestern part of Algeria, Pistacia atlantica stands have a very extensive botanical area, covering relatively large areas per thousand hectares between the steppe plains and the pre-Saharan region of the Saharan Atlas . These pistachio trees are generally dispersed (rocky outcrops, thalwegs, ravines, and wadi beds) or grouped in the form of a grove, mainly in the alluvial depressions [8][9][10][11][12][13] .…”

In the southwestern part of Algeria, the stands of Atlas pistachio (Pistacia atlantica Desf.) constitute a special natural heritage. They are usually scattered between the steppe plains and the Saharan Atlas. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the dendrometric characteristics of Atlas pistachio that could be indicators of good productivity. The aim is to investigate the influence of stationary factors (slope, exposure, geology) on the dendrometric characteristics of Pistacia atlantica. The results obtained on the dendrometric parameters of this species are very interesting. From a dendrometric approach, Pistacia atlantica is a large tree that can reach impressive dendrometric dimensions: 8 to 10 meters in height and a diameter often exceeding 100 cm. This dendrometric analysis allowed us to make a structural characterization of stands of Pistacia atlantica, which is an essential step in the management plan and the valuation in the medium or long term. This species of Pistacia atlantica deserves adequate measures of protection, especially in its natural environment. Therefore, a better knowledge of their potentialities, problems, and factors of the decline of this hardy species would contribute to the protection and the preservation to favour their regeneration, which would allow a better extension of this species.

“…The subspecies from Anacardiaceae's family known as terebinthaceae is also Pistaciaceae. (Abdelkrim et al, 2015) Gender pistachio (Anacardiaceae) is widely distributed in the Mediterranean region. It can grow up to 25 meters in khinjuk and thrive in arid and semi-arid areas.…”

Diabetes is spreading all over the world day by day. There are many ways to treat diabetes mellitus which mainly includes synthetic drugs, homeopathic medicine or Unani medicine etc. These Medicines have many side effects. Natural products; which include herbs, shrubs and large plants, cure diabetes mellitus and prove excellent hypoglycemic activity. These herbal medicines have no reported side effects. Many species of family Anacardiaceae show hypoglycemic activity and used from centuries to cure diabetes. Various pistachio species show hypoglycemic activity and have a very long history of herbal remedies. The present study evaluates the hypoglycemic effect of methanolic extract of Pistachia khinjuk. Six groups of Swiss albino mice were made for extract (80:20 Methanol: water) of Pistachia khinjuk and each group contains six albino mice. All the mice were injected alloxan monohydrate except normal group of wax and extract. Group 1 was treated as normal group and receives no treatment, group 2 receive 5mg/kg of glibenclamide after alloxan monohydrate induction, group 3 receive no treatment after alloxan monohydrate induction, group 4 and 5 receive 500 and 250mg/kg of Pistachia khinjuk extract, while group 6 receives 500mg/kg Pistachia khinjuk wax after alloxan monohydrate treatment. All the mice for extract (Pistachia khinjuk) of group 4, 5 and 6 show hypoglycemic activity and decreases blood glucose level. There may be many factors behind this activity which needs more research on it by isolating and analyzing specific secondary metabolites which causes this effect. The methanolic extract due to phenolic constituents proves to be excellent antidiabetic medicine.
