Priori protein gene sequencing showed heterozygosity for methionine and valine at codon 129, which indicated that persons not homozygous for methionine (>50% of the population) can be infected by the vCJD agent. The transfer of selected genes in a single generation by genetic transformation is especially interesting for the rubber tree, since its improvement through conventional breeding is limited by long breeding cycles and high levels of heterozygosity," according to Dr. |
