Since the version of the article initially published, several errors have been corrected. In Extended Data Fig. 4j, the coordinates were incorrectly given as “521-558” and have been corrected to “1386-1423” based on the full genomic DNA sequence. The mutation site depicted in the figure remains accurate. In Extended Data Figs. 1c and 7c, the wild-type (WT) sequence was inadvertently missing nine nucleotides due to a typographical error during figure assembly. The correct sequence has now been provided. In addition, in Extended Data Fig. 7c, a coordinate label was incorrectly given as “+8” and has been corrected to “+9”. The mutation sites in these figures have been re-verified against original sequencing data and remain correct. In the main text, in the “NLA targets PT4 for Pi uptake in cold conditions” section, the text “In vitro ubiquitination assays” has been corrected to “In vivo ubiquitination assays”. The changes have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article. The conclusions of the study are unaffected.
Author Correction: Rewiring an E3 ligase enhances cold resilience and phosphate use in maize
Why This Matters
This correction clarifies key genomic and experimental details in a study that enhances our understanding of maize resilience to cold and phosphate efficiency through targeted genetic rewiring of E3 ligases. These updates ensure scientific accuracy, reinforcing the reliability of the findings that could influence future crop engineering efforts. The research underscores the importance of precise genetic modifications for developing climate-resilient and resource-efficient crops, which is vital for sustainable agriculture and food security.
Key Takeaways
- Accurate genomic coordinates and sequences are crucial for replicating and building upon genetic research.
- Precise identification of mutation sites enhances the reliability of functional studies in crop genetics.
- Correct terminology (e.g., 'in vivo' vs. 'in vitro') is essential for clear scientific communication and understanding.
