“…Indeed Barrero et al [21] reported that the main components are terpinen-4-ol (21.7%) and elemol (20.0%). On the other hand, Tzakou et al [22] claims that the main components are terpinen-4-ol (17.3%) and p-mentha-1(7),8-diene (41.1%) for male essential oil and myrcene (17.8%; 24.8%) and terpinen-4-ol (11.6%; 6.0%) for female oil. It appears that terpinen-4-ol is the major compound in the essential oils of leaves Pistacia atlantica.…”

The composition and antioxidant activities of Pistacia atlantica Desf. essential oil were investigated. Qualitative and quantitative differences in compositions and in antioxidant activities of male and female leaf essential oils were observed during the season. The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation were analysed by GC and GC-MS. The oils were rich in monoterpenes hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The main components of male essential oil were a-pinene/a-thujene, spathulenol and bicyclogermacrene.

“…P. atlantica Desf. is a wild pistachio species which produces mastic (an edible resin) and small edible nuts with high content of valuable essential oils (Barrero et al 2005, Tzakou et al 2007, Gourine et al 2009). As a xerophyte species, P. atlantica is widely distributed from south-west Asia to north-west Africa (Zohary 1952) and has wide range of pharmacological (Benhammou et al 2008), cosmetic and food consumptions at local and industrial scale.…”

© iForest -Biogeosciences and Forestry IntroductionAmong the many physiological features by which plants cope with water shortage, maintaining cation uptake and mobility in different tissues plays many crucial roles to deal with water deficit. Monitoring of cation changes under soil water shortage is so important that it was recently used as a drought tolerance index for selecting cultivars (Achakzai 2007(Achakzai , 2008. Nutrients uptake and consequent cation translocation highly depend on transpiration stream (Greenway & Kelpper 1969). Reduced root lateral growth can also restrict nutrient uptake. Potassium is the most abundant cation in higher plants and is involved primarily in osmotic-mediated cell expansion (Elumalai et al. 2002), protein synthesis, glycolytic enzyme activity, membrane permeability, photosynthesis, stomatal movement, drought resistance (Hopkins & Hüner 2004) and tropism (Philippar et al. 1999). In contrast, sodium at elevated concentrations -usually more than 100 mMhas toxic effects on plants. Sodium has lower replacing power than K + as revealed from Hofmeister's cation sequence, higher affinity with anionic groups as the carboxyl groups of proteins (Vrbka et al. 2006) and generally impairs the positive roles of K + in living cells. Because of high frequency, similar valence electron in outer shell, similar hydrated ion radius and deficiency of high performance discriminating antiporters (Maathuis & Amtmann 1999), Na + interferes in K + uptake and translocation. It can also enhance plant performance, being involved in osmotic regulation in vacuoles (Mengel & Kirkby 2001, Maathuis & Sanders 1993. This role of Na + is even more relevant under water deficit where total nutrient uptake is affected by decreasing soil water content and Na + toxicity is not an issue. Most of studies emphasize the necessity of reducing Na + under salt stress to maintain high K + /Na + ratio in the intracellular space (Maathuis & Amtmann 1999). Although changing K + /Na + ratio is not the main concern under drought stress, increasing of this ratio can facilitate plant survival and development under this condition. Exposing six cultivars of sorghum seedlings to progressive water deficit reduced the content of these univalent cations both in root and shoot, whereas the amount of sodium increased and potassium remained constant in the roots of a drought tolerance cultivar (Achakzai 2007). Plants that are able to take more K + and maintain higher K + /Na + ratio in the intracellular space, are able to ameliorate the negative effects of drought on water relations and organic and inorganic solute accumulation in different organs (Nandwal et al. 1998).The genus Pistacia (Anacardiaceae), commonly known for the edible nuts of P. vera, has at least 11 species worldwide. P. atlantica Desf. is a wild pistachio species which produces mastic (an edible resin) and small edible nuts with high content of valuable essential oils (Barrero et al. 2005, Tzakou et al. 2007, Gourine et al. 2009). As a xerophyte species, P. atlantica is ...
