Due to an unfortunate editorial typesetting error, one sentence under the heading Introduction was published incorrectly. The correct sentence is given here:

Sequences, or partial sequences, of the alleles S 1 S 10 (=‘S 25 ’) and S 23 as well as ‘putative S 10 ’ (=S 24 ) have been published (Ushijima et al. 1998; Tamura et al. 2000; Channuntapipat et al. 2001, 2002; Ma and Oliveira 2001; López et al. 2004).

Also, another sentence under the heading Discussion was published incorrectly. The correct sentence is given here:

In addition, sequence comparisons confirmed the existence of four sets of synonymous alleles as already proposed by Ortega et al. (2005): S 1 , S 16 , and S 17 ; S 4 and S 20 ; S 5 and S 15 ; and S 13 and S 19 . In the case of S 1 and S 16 , the corresponding S-RNases appeared to have quite distinct isoelectric points, and also in the case of S 13 and S 19 (Bošković et al. 2003).
