“…Similar to these results, 80% of the shoots forming roots have also been reported by Tilkat and Onay ( 2009 ) using the regenerated shoots from mature female trees. Although a high percentage (90%) of shoots forming roots has been reported by Par fi tt and Almehdi ( 1994 ) using juvenile material ( P. vera "Kerman" seedlings), our percentage of shoots forming roots was the highest (92%) of these obtained by others working with P. vera (Barghchi and Alderson 1989 ;Par fi tt and Almehdi 1994 ;Onay 2000b ;Ozden Tokatli et al 2005 ;Tilkat 2006 ) . Once healthy and strongly rooted plantlets were obtained, acclimatization of the pistachio was easy (Onay et al 2007a ;Tilkat and Onay 2009 ) .…”

“…The in vitro initiation of roots for the regenerated pistachio shoots was found to be especially dependent upon the auxin type and the concentration (Barghchi and Alderson 1989 ;Par fi tt and Almehdi 1994 ;Onay 2000b ;Ozden Tokatli et al 2005 ;Tilkat 2006 ) . Successful reports on the tissue culture of adult P. vera L. produced somatic plantlets, but obstacles pertaining to the low incidence of the rooting of plantlets reproducibility during the rooting regime and the poor establishment of in vitro propagated plants after acclimatization as a result of fungal infections have been reported (Onay 2000b ;Tilkat et al 2008 ) .…”

“…As the diversity of wild pistachio types is destroyed by severe anthropogenic pressures, such as land clearance, charcoal burning, and over-grazing (Barghchi and Alderson 1989 ;Padulosi and Hadj-Hassan 2001 ) , both wild and cultivated pistachio germplasm are today under threat of genetic erosion and a comprehensive gene bank for the pistachio has not been established yet. Thus, it is important to develop suitable conservation strategies for the medium and long-term preservation of pistachio germplasm in which slow-growth storage strategies can be carried out at low temperatures (above-freezing) in the former, whereas the material can be cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen (LN) at ultra-low temperatures (−196°C) in the latter.…”

“…Bairu et al (2009) recently indicated that mT reduced in vitro shoot tip necrosis in Harpagophytum. Interestingly, for Barghchi and Alderson (1989), this abnormality hindered micropropagation of pistachio. According to our results, mT was a good replacement for BA in P. vera L tissue culture.…”

“…In vitro culture is also an effective way to select fairly drought- (Sorkheh et al 2010) and salt- (He et al 2009) tolerant genotypes that could be grown in harsh environmental conditions, as is the case for pistachio growing in Algeria (Benmahioul et al 2009a). Despite advances in pistachio micropropagation (Barghchi and Alderson 1989), the results are still not as good as those achieved with other fruit species. Studies on pistachio have shown that the major problem hampering extension of the method concerns the rooting of plantlets (Chatibi et al 1995;Benmahioul et al 2009b).…”

An effective pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) micropropagation system was developed involving rapid axillary bud proliferation and ex vitro rooting. The highest shoot proliferation frequency was obtained from nodal explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal salts containing Gamborg (B 5 ) vitamins and supplemented with 4 mg l -1 6-benzyladenine (BA). The addition of 2 mg l -1 meta-topolin (mT) generated an optimal number of shoots with suitable morphological features, while kinetin (KIN) was found to be unsuitable for pistachio shoot proliferation. Microcuttings were rooted ex vitro after being dipped in rooting powder. The peak ex vitro rooting response was achieved after shoot explants were treated with Rhizopon Ò 2% indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Rooted plantlets were transplanted in plastic pots containing a peat-perlite-vermiculite (1:1:1) mixture and then transferred to the greenhouse. After 2 months, 81.5% survival of rooted microshoots was achieved.

BACKGROUND: Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is a commercially important tree in the Mediterranean basin, where there is a considerable increase in cultivation, especially in Spain. Because of its recent introduction as a crop in the country (1980s), studies on the pests of pistachio in Spain are still rare. Here, we studied the leaf beetle Labidostomis lusitanica (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), which was observed on pistachio and might become a serious pest under the expanding Spanish pistachio fields. Because early detection of pests is extremely important to properly plan control strategies, we (i) updated the information on the distribution of the species through samplings and surveys, and (ii) modelled its potential distribution. RESULTS: Currently, L. lusitanica occurs across the whole Iberian Peninsula, especially in its southern and eastern parts, with adults on flight roughly from late April to early June. Analysis of climatic niches showed that L. lusitanica prefers dry and hot areas, which are conditions found especially in the central-southern parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Such highly suitable areas for this pest overlap considerably with the suitable areas for pistachio cultivation. Surveys of pistachio growers weakly suggested a higher pest attack probability, but, unexpectedly, a lower perceived impact in very suitable areas for L. lusitanica, suggesting that other factors may shape its pest potential in a complex way. CONCLUSION: In line with what has been observed for other Labidostomis species on pistachio in other Mediterranean countries, L. lusitanica has a good potential to harm pistachio production in Spain, claiming for further investigations and prevention strategies.
