| Abstract:
Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) has been grown from seed for centuries in Iran. Since heterozygosity is expected from sexual propagation of pistachio, wide variability is observed as diverse populations are obtained. Thus, Iran holds one of the most important origins of genetic resources of diversity for pistachio. The objectives of this survey were to evaluate the distribution of wild and cultivated pistachio and characterize some local pistachio cultivars. Field samples of various local cultivars were characterized for further selection and conservation purposes. | |
