Amplification with universal specific primers spr1, spr13 and
spr23 was carried out to discriminate the races and FORL. The
results showed the presence of two different races (r2 and r3) of FOL
and FORL in West Mediterranean region (Fig. 3, Table 2). Although
most of isolates displayed amplification patterns expected according
to test results recordedin vivo, two isolates (Antalya2 and Guloluk)
showed a specific extra band as indicator of other f. sp. groups as
FORL, and which were different from the results obtained inin vivo
studies. Eskihisar and Serik isolates did not show amplified bands
with these primers and they cannot be associated with any race
