Detection of B Gene Mutations in SDHI-Resistant Isolates of Using High Resolution Melting (HRM) Analysis.

, is a high risk pathogen for fungicide resistance development. Pathogen' resistance to SDHIs is associated with several mutations in gene. The diversity of mutations and their differential effect on cross-resistance patterns among SDHIs and the fitness of resistant strains necessitate the availability of a tool for their rapid identification.

Development of macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of ejaculates from Chios, Serres and Karaguniki breed lambs.

The developmental characteristics in the volume of the ejaculate, motility (percentage of motile spermatozoa) and grade of motility (vitality), density, total number of spermatozoa per ejaculate and percentage of dead (stained) and of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa were studied in 14-to 46-week-old lambs of the Chios (n=10), Serres (=10) and Karaguniki (n=10) breeds, born in October 1984. The first appearance of spermatozoa in the ejaculate of the Chios, Serres and Karaguniki lambs occurred at 20.1+/-0.
