Micropropagation and conservation studies for Pistacia are still limited, and only a few species of the genus have been systematically investigated. Although pistachios are still propagated by conventional methods there are encouraging results for in vitro propagation of Pistacia species. More evaluation is essential to optimize in vitro regeneration pathways, but also for recovery of haploids, protoplast isolation and culture and somatic hybridization of elite genotypes. Development of efficient genetic transformation protocols is of critical importance, and studies that focus on genomics, proteomics and metabolomics of Pistacia spp. are necessary tools for the next generation of breeding.
