Text Correction

In the original publication [1], Reference ‘Karmakar, A.; Karmakar, S.; Mukherjee, S. Properties of various plants and animals feedstocks for biodiesel production. Bioresour. Technol. 2010, 101, 7201–7210’ was not cited in the first sentece of ‘Section 7. Diversity of Plant-Derived Compounds’. It has been added to the first sentece of ‘Section 7’, and should read:
‘Plants can produce a diverse array of chemical compounds, each possessing distinct qualities and serving specific functions [116].’
With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
