In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 8. A yeast two-hybrid assay of SlMBP21 and SlMADS1 with other sepal development-related proteins was conducted. In the original figure, the “positive control” and “negative control” were wrong. The four images of the “positive control” and “negative control” were the same as the four images for “pGBKT7-SlMBP21 & pGADT7-SlMBP21” and “pGBKT7-SlMBP21 & pGADT7-SlMADS1” due to the negligence of insufficient careful inspection. In addition, the authors performed the yeast two-hybrid assay again to verify the “positive control”, “negative control”, and the interactions of “pGBKT7-SlMBP21 & pGADT7-SlMBP21" and “pGBKT7-SlMBP21 & pGADT7-SlMADS1” (please see Figure S6). The corrected version of Figure 8 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication and the supplementary material have also been updated.
Figure 8.
Yeast two-hybrid assay of SlMBP21 and SlMADS1 with other sepal development-related proteins. SlMBP21 could interact with SlMBP21, SlAP2a, TAGL1 and RIN but not with SlMADS1; SlMADS1 could interact with SlAP2a and RIN, but not with TAGL1, individually. QDO, SD medium lacking Trp, Leu, His, and adenine. QDO/X, SD medium lacking Trp, Leu, His, and adenine with X-α-Gal.
