    Notes: Summary Results from in vitro works suggest that 1,25- and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3) act on bone via different mechanisms. The present investigation was performed to study the effect of these two metabolites and of their precursor 25-hyxdroxyvitamin D3 (25-(OH)D3) on bone cAMP content in vitro. Rats' paired half calvaria were incubated under sterile conditions with one vitamin D3 derivative (10−13 to 10−9 M) or with ethanol (0.005 ml for 15 min to 24 h in 1 ml medium containing 0, 0.2, 1, 2, or 3 mM calcium. In some experiments: (a) cycloheximide (10−5M) was added simultaneously with the vitamin D3 metabolites; (b) 1–84 bPTH (5 × 10−8 M) was added for 5 or 15 min at the end of the 24 h incubation. Calvaria were immersed in 1 ml TCA 5% 4°C and homogenized. The cAMP was extracted with diethylether and measured by a competitive protein binding assay. Results bring further evidence for a particular effect of low doses of 24,25-(OH)2D3 (10−9 to 10−12M) and of 25-(OH)D3 (10−9 to 10−11M) on bone, different from that of 1,25-(OH)2D3: cAMP content was higher in 24,25-(OH)2D3- or 25-(OH)D3-treated and lower in 1,25-(OH)2D3-treated calvaria than in ethanol-treated ones with 1 mM calcium. The 1,25-(OH)2D3 effect persisted in calcium-free medium whereas 25-(OH)D3 and 24,25-(OH)2D3 effects could not be observed with 0 mM nor with 3 mM calcium. The required duration of the preincubation (over 1 h) as well as the inhibitory action of cycloheximide may suggest an involvement of protein synthesis in the vitamin D3 metabolites effects. Neither 1,25-(OH)2D3 nor 24,25-(OH)2D3 affected the PTH-induced increase in bone cAMP content.

    Notes: Summary In a well-defined in vitro perifusion system, the effects of extracellular magnesium concentration (Mg) on parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion by bovine parathyroid tissue were examined. At Mg less than 0.8 mM, the ability of the glands to secrete hormone maximally in response to low calcium (Ca) stimulation was progressively impaired. Low Mg also impaired the ability of isoproterenol, dibutyryl cyclic AMP and theophylline to stimulate hormone release. The defect in hormone release at low Mg observed in vitro was analogous to the well-documented inhibition of secretion observed in vivo. Increases in Mg from 0 to 0.8 mM rapidly repaired the defect in hormone secretion. At Mg above 1.0 mM there was a Ca-like effect on hormone release, with a progressive decrease in secretion at increased Mg. Although its mechanism is not yet clear, the low Mg effect appears to impair principally the process of hormone release rather than its biosynthesis or storage.

    Notes: Summary Quantitative measurements were made of the ion fluxes of calcium and phosphate into and from calvaria (mouse or rat) when clamped in specially designed micro-Ussing chambers. The effects of varying concentrations of calcium were examined on the influx and efflux of calcium and of its counterion, phosphate. A comparable series of experiments was performed with varying phosphate concentrations. Both ions, as their concentrations increased, depressed their own influx, increased their own efflux, and significantly increased the equilibrium concentration, E/K, supported by the calvaria. Similarly, both ions, as their concentrations increased, affected the influx or efflux of their counterion only slightly but did depress the counterion's equilibrium level, E/K, significantly. In spite of these changes it was shown that calvaria effectively buffered the medium at physiological concentrations of calcium and phosphate. The buffering capacity, however, was small, and the balance, E/K, was modified by small uptake or loss of either ion. The small size of the interacting mineral pool was confirmed by direct measurement of the rapidly exchanging fractions of both calcium or phosphate. They were only ∼1% of the total ions present. The significance of these findings is discussed.

    Notes: Summary The effects of a bone resorptive protein isolated from human cancer ascites fluid on bone cell calcium and cyclic AMP were studied with fetal rat cells. The osteoclast-activating factor increased bone cell calcium uptake at 37°C and 4°C with no direct effects on calcium efflux. Concentrations of the resorptive factor that increased in vitro bone resorption and cell calcium uptake had no effect on cyclic AMP. The effects of the protein on calcium uptake were not specific for bone cells, and large increases were also observed in isolated fetal rat skin cells. These studies suggest that increases in the permeability of the cell membrane to calcium are involved in the mechanism of action of the ascites fluid resorptive protein.

    Notes: Summary Pyrophosphate and diphosphonate ions have been said to diminish the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals, because they lower the equilibrium concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions in the bulk solution around hydroxyapatite crystals in a closed system. However, in a closed system these effects are not necessarily due to an effect on dissolution alone. In this paper we have used a continuous flow system to study the effects of pyrophosphate and two diphosphonates, ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate and dichloromethane diphosphonate, on the dissolution of hydroxyapatite. All three compounds decreased markedly the rate of dissolution of hydroxyapatite as well as the exchangeable pools of calcium and phosphate ions around the cystals.

    Notes: Summary Calcium homeostasis and bone pathology were studied in weanling rats fed a low (70 ppm) magnesium diet for 2–21 days. The rats developed significant, progressive hypercalcemia after 6 days on the diet. The increase in blood calcium was accompanied by progressive hypoactivity of the parathyroid gland (PTG), as determined by histologic and morphometric analyses. Thus hyperactivity of the PTG could not have been responsible for the hypercalcemia observed. Histologic examination of femora and humeri from magnesium-deficient rats showed progressive subperiosteal hyperplasia, consisting of undifferentiated osteoprogenitor cells and fibrous tissue, after 7 days of deficiency. The presence of unmineralized osteoid tissue in the metaphyses indicated that mineralization was not proceeding normally. The alterations in differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, together with the failure of mineralization, resulted in significantly lower rates of bone formation (as measured by fluorochrome labeling) in the magnesium-deficient rats. Basophilic cementing lines and inactive osteocytes in the cortices of bones from magnesium-deficient rats indicated that bone resorption was also severely reduced in magnesium deficiency. We postulate that bone magnesium depletion (66% by day 21) has a direct negative effect on osteoblastic and osteocytic activity, and may explain, in part, the decreased responsiveness of bone to parathyroid hormone (PTH) that has been observed in magnesium-deficient animals.

    Notes: Summary We have described differences in the aspects of biological rhythms for calcium and sulfur deposition on the labial and lingual sides of the growing rabbit incisor, where growth occurs along a spiral axis. The calcium oscillations appear to be smoother on the labial side than on the lingual side. The lingual side is characterized by high-frequency rhythms with high amplitudes which possess the greatest percent of the power (Fourier analysis). These observations also reflect a difference in behavior of the mean Ca concentration across the labial and lingual sides. Sulfur rhythms on the labial side have higher amplitudes than those on the lingual side, but systematic differences in distribution of power between high and low frequencies is not as pronounced as in the case of Ca. The differences in Ca rhythms reflect differences in the growth rates of incisors on either side of the spiral axis. The labial side grows slightly faster than the lingual side, and its odontoblasts secrete Ca along the spiral axis and toward the pulp cavity at the same time. Thus the resultant direction of growth is more nearly opposite the extension of the occlusal end on the labial side, and Ca is consequently deposited over a wider area relative to that on the lingual surfaces. On the lingual side, Ca is deposited within a more limited area, and growth must therefore be continuous at high frequencies. The distribution of Ca on both sides of the tooth reflects these differences in growth rate and periodicity in two ways. First, given a unit area of tooth, the calcium concentration on the labial side is less than that of the lingual side. Second, whereas the calcium concentration on the labial side declines rapidly from the enamel-dentin junction to the pulp cavity, it is uniformly high across the lingual side because its growth is more continuous at high frequencies.

    Notes: Summary The timed sequence of events following the oral administration of 1α-hydroxy vitamin D3 (1αOHD3) to rachitic chicks was compared to that following a comparable dose of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). RNA polymerase activity was maximally increased 20% by 1αOHD3 within 1 to 2 h and returned to control values after 8 h. Alkaline phosphatase activity was stimulated by 4 h and was maximal (3- to 5-fold increase) at 24 h. Calcium binding protein (CaBP) was detected initially within epithelial cells at the proximal end of the villus (just above the crypt) 6 to 8 h after 1αOHD3 administration, in epithelial cells lining the proximal half of the villus by 24 h, and in epithelial cells along nearly the entire villus by 48 h. At no time did goblet cells contain CaBP. Serum calcium concentrations were significantly elevated in 2 h and maximal by 12 h (an increase of 3.6 mg/dl). Calcium accumulation by the intestinal mucosa in vitro was increased by 6 to 8 h and maximal (60% increase over controls) at 24 h. Phosphate accumulation by the intestinal mucosa in vitro was increased by 6 h and maximal (105% increase over controls) between 8 and 24 h. 1,25(OH)2D3 increased CaBP and calcium accumulation by 4 h, 2 h sooner than did 1αOHD3. 1,25(OH)2D3 decreased serum calcium levels and increased serum phosphate levels at 2 h unlike 1αOHD3. No difference in the effects of these compounds on alkaline phosphatase activity, RNA polymerase activity, and phosphate accumulation could be demonstrated. These results are consistent with the possibility that 1αOHD3 may not require conversion to 1,25(OH)2D3 for all of its biological effects.

    Notes: Summary An in vitro perifusion system was used to study parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in response to calcium (Ca) and beta-adrenergic agents. Perifused parathyroid tissue responded to changes in Ca within the physiologic range during experiments up to 5 h. There was rapid secretory stimulation after exposure to low Ca, with the maximum response being observed at 20 min. Normal bovine glands showed a Ca-independent nonsuppressible component of PTH release at concentrations of Ca above physiologic. 1-isoproterenol produced rapid stimulation of PTH release, the response being blocked by a beta antagonist. The maximum secretory response to either low Ca (0.5 mM) or 1-isoproterenol (10−5 M) was enhanced when the two stimuli were applied simultaneously. The response to isoproterenol was blocked by raising Ca to 2.5 mM. Although d,l-propranolol (10−4 M) caused mild suppression of PTH release at a Ca of 1.25 mM, it did not cause additional suppression at 2.5 mM Ca nor did it decrease the response to 0.5 mM Ca stimulation. The secretory response of the gland to low Ca was sustained at a level more than double the baseline rate. The response to isoproterenol was more transient, with a return to or toward baseline secretion within 60 min. These results suggest that beta agonists and low Ca have separate but related mechanisms for stimulating PTH release and may affect different pools of hormone. The perifusion system described is a relatively simple technique for assessing the kinetics and interactions of various stimulators of PTH secretion.

    Notes: Summary We have identified a variety of biological rhythms involved in the apposition and mineralization of dentin in the rabbit incisor. Animals were injected during the day or night with lead acetate at 2-week intervals—to provide biological time markers in forming dentin—and transverse undecalcified sections of the lower incisors were prepared for electron microprobe analysis. The positions of the lead markers were identified, and the continuous distribution of calcium and sulfur was measured at 1 µm intervals between the markers. In thin sections stained with hematoxylin after decalcification, the widths of a series of structural increments (bands) were measured with an ocular micrometer. Fourier analysis of the data revealed spectra of structural and compositional rhythms with a range of periodicities which extended from a matter of hours [ultradian (〈24 h)] to days [infradian (〉24 h) and circadian (approximately 24 h)]. The structural and compositional rhythms appeared to be independent to the extent that they did not necessarily have the same periods, or amplitudes. Nor were there simple phase relationships between all of the rhythms. At some times, Ca and S fluctuations are inversely proportional (180° out of phase), but in other cases they are directly proportional or out of phase by varying degrees other than 180°. The analyses thus suggest that calcium and sulfur deposition (representing mineral and glycosaminoglycan deposition, respectively) are not simply inversely proportional, and that the hematoxylin-stained structural increments did not solely reflect differences in the distribution of the mineral components in dentin.

    Notes: Summary The potassium pyroantimonate technique was utilized for the selective subcellular localization of calcium in the mandibular condylar cartilage of 1-day-old rats. Electron dense calcium pyroantimonate precipitates were localized principally in mitochondria and at the cell membrane of the chondrocytes. In addition, small intracellular vesicles 0.1–0.2µm in diameter were observed in proximity to the cell membrane of chondrocytes of the mid-hypertrophic zone. The results suggest that these vesicles were being extruded from the cell into the extracellular matrix. Energy-dispersive analysis by X-rays confirmed that calcium is the principal cation of the electron-dense precipitates.

    Notes: Summary The specific gravity and dry matter content of 193 tuber samples (cultivars: Arran Banner, Spunta, Up-to-Date, Cara) from crops grown at Kokkinochoria, the major potato growing area of Cyprus, were related to each other as follows: Dry matter (%)=−269.59+268.24×specific gravity. This regression accounted for 82.4% of the variation; the fiducial limits (P〈0.05) for single determinations of specific gravity were±1.54 percentage units. The mineral contents of the tubers were similar to those reported in other countries.

    Notes: Summary The effect of acid irrigation on the growth of rooted cuttings ofPicea abies (L.) Karst, was investigated in a pot experiment lasting 3 years. It involved two clones of Norway spruce, H 253 Bogstad I and H 254 Bogstad II. Irrigation water of pH 5.4, 4.0, 3.0 and 2.5 was used. Liming was included in the experiment. After the experimental period, the plants of all treatments were growing reasonably well. However, those plants irrigated at pH 2.5 were slightly discoloured. The plant mortality was only 3% throughout the experiment, and was not connected to acid irrigation. The limiting growth factor was N. All other nutrient elements measured in the plants were close to optimal concentration. Plants irrigated at pH 2.5, and to some extent at pH 3, contained excessively high concentrations of Al, t-S and SO4. The total amount of Ca, Fe and Mn taken up by the plants decreased with increasing soil acidity. The increased growth of clone H 254 relative to H 253, produces a corresponding impression on soil characteristics. Soil acidity is governed by acid irrigation and CaCO3 application, but the clonal effects are also of importance. Norway spruce appears to be tolerant to Al concentrations as high as 50 mmol/kg in the needles.

    Notes: Summary Four highly heterogeneous populations of barley were assayed for salt stress tolerance at the time of seed germination. Three of these, Davis, Dryland and Irrigated, were derived originally from a population called Composite Cross XXI and propagated until F17 under contrasting conditions. The fourth, Composite Cross XXX-C, was of relatively recent (F5) origin. This population showed the highest germinability in nutrient solution salinated with sodium chloride. Davis was poorer in salt tolerance than CC XXX-C but better than Dryland and Irrigated. Dryland and Irrigated, propagated for 14 successive genrations under contrasting levels of soil moisture, showed no significant difference in salt stress tolerance. In several hundred random samples of lines developed from these two populations, ear row number, lemma awn texture, seed weight and yield showed non-random associations with salt tolerance. These associations might be gainfully utilized in barley breeding for salt stress tolerance.

    Notes: Summary Fifteen spring barley cultivars were evaluated in two years for their tolerance to leaf rust, Puccinia hordei. The consistency between the results obtained in the two experiments was rather poor. The most tolerant cultivars produced low seed yields, the least tolerant ones high seed yields. A strongly negative relationship existed between harves-index and tolerance.

    Notes: Summary Soils influenced by acid mine drainage (pH〈5.0) are characterized by low concentrations of essential nutrients and increased solubility of heavy metals. The conditions typically reduce plant establishment and growth. However, river birch (Betula nigra L.) is commonly found along low pH streams in southeastern Ohio. The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of Al, Mn, Ca and Mg inB. nigra tissues. The results indicate Al and Mn are accumulating inB. nigra when compared to other species. Within river birch, Al concentrations are highest in roots; Mn concentrations are highest in leaves. There is not a concomitant reduction in Ca and Mg concentrations as suggested by soil levels.

    Notes: Summary It was investigated whether separate maintenance breeding during 12 years of three stocks of ‘Zephyr’ barley had an effect on the yielding ability and other characteristics. Trials carried out on two sites and over two years showed that the stocks were still morphologically identical and produced the same yield. Apparently the long lasting separate maintenace of the three stocks had no effect on the genetical composition for morphology and yielding ability. ‘Zemir’, the French stock of ‘Zephyr’ headed two days earlier.

The methods which seem to offer most success are those of environmental adjustments and the adoption of new genotypes of H. bulbosum. Further cultivars of H. vulgare exhibiting this phenomenon are also noted.

    Notes: Summary Barley in Italy has recently been seriously affected by Rhynchosporium secalis. The pathogenic variation of the fungus was studied and 17 races were differentiated on 13 barley cultivars carrying most of the currently known genes for resistance. RC 1, the most virulent and most frequent race, was virulent on 10 out of the 13 differentials and the remaining races proved to be less virulent variants of RC 1. Atlas (C.I. 4118), Atlas 46 (C.I. 7323) and Osiris (C.I. 1622) were the only three differentials resistant to all the analyzed single-spore isolates. Differential cultivars previously assumed to have identical resistance factors did not react in the same way to all the Italian races, thereby revealing either undisclosed differences in the genes described or the presence of additional unidentified ones. Our findings were compared with previous data about virulence of scald populations from different countries, on the basis of tests with common differentials: fundamental differences were found between the Italian population and those of other countries with regard to virulence patterns. The susceptible reactions to race RC 1 of most barley cultivars grown in Italy indicate the urgent need for resistance genes to be incorporated in the cultivated material. Seventy-one barley accessions, known as sources of resistance in different parts of the world, were screened for their behaviour to races RC 1 and RC 13. Twenty-two appeared resistant to both of them.

    Notes: Summary Six populations of F2-derived lines of barley and their parents were evaluated for heading date, plant height, grain yield, bundle weight, and harvest index in a replicated experiment in the field. These data were used to estimate the minimum number of effective factor pairs segregating for each trait, the number of favorable factors contributed by each parent in a cross, and the frequencies and magnitudes of transgressive segregates. Heading date, plant height, and harvest index were controlled by three to four effective factor pairs, whereas grain yield and bundle weight were controlled by five or more. All three H. spontaneum strains used in our study contributed one or more useful genes for each of the traits, grain yield, heading date, plant height, bundle weight, and harvest index. Therefore, it seems that H. spontaneum can be a useful source of favorable genes for quantitative traits, especially for grain yield, which could be incorporated into barley varieties readily by backcrossing. Transgressive segregates for grain yield in the interspecific crosses may provide the basic materials for improving the productivity of cultivated barley varieties.

    Notes: Abstract The results of the measurements of the thermal conductivity coefficients of nitrogen at 298.15 K from atmospheric pressure up to 1 GPa are reported. The experimental values are used to test the Modified Enskog Theory and the corresponding state principle. The experimental values are also compared with the results of computer simulation of the thermal conductivity of a Lennard Jones fluid.

    Notes: Summary Ginger, cassava, maize, wheat, french bean and tomato were grown for periods up to six weeks in continuously flowing nutrient solutions at seven constant pH values ranging from 3.3 to 8.5. All species achieved maximum or near-maximum growth in the pH range 5.5 to 6.5. However, there were substantial differences in the ability of species to grow outside this range. Ginger and cassava were the most tolerant species to low solution pH, while ginger and tomato were the only species to show no yield depression at the highest solution pH. Roots of all species at pH 3.3 and some species at pH 4.0 exhibited symptoms of hydrogen ion injury. In addition, the concentrations of magnesium in the tops of all six species, of nitrogen in the tops of tomato and cassava, and of manganese in the tops of maize at these pH values were inadequate for optimal growth. Growth depression at high solution pH was associated with iron deficiency in maize and wheat and with nitrogen and/or copper deficiency in cassava. The relevance of the present results to crop growth under field conditions is discussed. The complex interplay of plant and soil characteristics militates against precise definition of an optimum pH range for the growth of a particular crop unless the soil is also specified.

    Notes: Summary Iron chlorosis of 4 year old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in comparison to areas of adjacent healthy growth on calcareous prairie soil, was associated with slight increases in the soluble ion content of the saturation paste extract. Such increases in soluble ions (mainly calcium sulphate) were associated with significant increases in ash, cation (including iron) and organic anion content of the chlorotic needles. Increasing levels of available soil nitrate were also related to increase in organic anions. Nitrogen and phosphorus assimilation was adversely affected under conditions of iron chlorosis. These observations support the theory of induced iron deficiency associated with elevated levels of organic anions or translocated cations and are applicable to plantings of conifers on prairie soils.

    Notes: Summary Dry matter and chemical changes in decomposing spruce needles were investigated after 16 and 38 weeks in laboratory lysimeters treated with distilled water or distilled water acidified to pH 3 or 2 with sulphuric acid. The water was added twice weekly in quantities equal to 100 or 200 mm month−1. The CO2 evolution and leaching of P, K, Mg, Mn, and Ca was followed together with pH measurements of the leachate. The loss of dry matter was approximately 25% during the first 16 weeks and approximately 37% after 38 weeks. At the first samling, 16 weeks, the amount of material decomposed was greater from the lysimeters given 100 mm month−1 of water. At this water quantity dilute sulphuric acid increased the decomposition. After 38 weeks sulphuric acid at pH 3 and 2 had decreased the decomposition at 200 mm month−1. However, the effects of acid application were small. The effect of treatment using acidified water on the content of monosaccharides was not consistent, whereas there was an indication of reduced decomposition of lignin when treated with 200 mm water month−1 at pH 3 and 2. Nitrogen was conserved in the lysimeters with small differences between the various treatments. The order of mobility of metal elements was K〉Mg〉Mn〉Ca. Increasing the quantity of water increased the leaching of K especially, whereas addition of dilute sulphuric acid increased the leaching of Mg, Mn and particularly Ca. During the first 16 weeks of the experiment, sulphuric acid reduced the leaching of P while later on this treatment increased the leaching. The pH of the leachate from the lysimeters treated with distilled water was initially 4.0–4.6 increasing to approximately 6.6 after 22 weeks. The pH of the decomposed needle material was 4.6 and approximately 5.2 after 16 and 38 weeks respectively. When treated with water at pH 3 the pH of the leachate was between 4 and 5, and the pH of the needles 4.2–5.1. Treatment with water at pH 2 gave a leachate with pH just above 2 and decreased the pH of the needles that had received 200 mm ‘rain’ month−1 to 2.9. The effect of the artificial acid rain appears to be more pronounced on the leaching of metal elements than on the biological activity and the dynamics of N and P. The treatments must be considered extreme when compared with the acidity of natural rain.

    Notes: Summary The effects of A1 on the growth and mineral composition of different cultivars of triticale (X Triticosecale, Wittmack), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) growing in 1/5 strength Steinberg solutions containing 0 or 6 ppm A1 were evaluated after 32 days. Aluminum increased the concentrations of P and K in the roots and K in the tops of most of the cultivars tested. A1 tolerant triticale retained a lower concentration of Mg in the roots and tops than the A1 sensitive triticale, when subjected to A1 stress. In addition, A1 treatments resulted in smaller increases in root P for the A1 tolerant triticale than for the A1 sensitive cultivars. The concentration of root Ca and P of the A1 tolerant wheat cultivars were significantly below that of the more sensitive plants. Aluminum tolerance in rye appeared to be associated with lower Ca and higher Mg concentrations in the tops. The accumulation of P and A1 in the roots was characteristic of sensitivity in triticale, wheat and rye.

    Notes: Summary Seedlings of 45 barley mutants with partial resistance in the field and their parental cultivars Asse, Bomi, and Vada were exposed to six local and two foreign races of powdery mildew, in climatically controlled cabinets. Infectability, pustule size, infection grade, and infection type were estimated. No mutant did demonstrate strong race-specific reactions although some race-specific interactions of moderate grade could be detected. The results of infection of mutants with single races confirmed the quantitative character of their change in resistance determined in the earlier field assessments. The 20 investigated mutants with increased resistance expressed a lower level of disease with each of the used races. Out of the 10 mutants with higher susceptibility in the field, 4 mutants again exhibited higher degrees of infection over all the different races, while the remaining 6 mutants were not distinguishable from the original cultivar under the given growing conditions. Out of the tested 14 developmentally resistant mutants, only the 5 genotypes with different seedling reaction could be analyzed for race-specificity in this study. In all the above cases as the result of one gene mutation, quantitative shifts in level of infection were recorded over all the 8 races. Qualitative estimates of infection type were supported by data on the frequency of chlorotic or necrotic lesions and green islands on the infected leaves. But quantitative methods of assessment, e.g. infection frequency and pustule size, were more effective in studying partial resistance of the mutants. Infection grade, estimated visually 14 days after inoculation, was in agreement with the quantitative parameters accurately measured 7 days after inoculation. Therefore, its careful use can be recommended to speed the screening by narrowing down the materials. Differences in virulence level of the races were observed and their influence on race-specificity studies was discussed.
