Investigation on the uptake of functional proteins and infectious prions into wheat plants through the root system
DownloadSpring 2014
Prions are the proteinaceous particle responsible for infections in a class of neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases affect a number of mammals including cervids where it is termed Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Prions enter the environment and persist for years. Plants have the ability to...
