  In-plane and out-of-plane magnetoresistivities (MR) of antiferromagnetic
YBa_2Cu_3O_6.25 single crystals were measured in magnetic fields H applied
along the (ab) plane. In-plane MR is a superposition of two components: The
first component is strongly in-plane anisotropic, changing sign from negative
when H is parallel to the electrical current I to positive when H is
perpendicular to I. The second component is positive, quadratic in H, and
isotropic in the (ab)-plane. The out-of-plane MR displays a fourfold symmetry
upon in-plane rotation of the magnetic field, with maxima along the easy axes
of antiferromagnetic spin ordering and minima along unfavorable directions of
spin orientation (45 degrees from the Cu-O-Cu bonds).
