In the published review, there was an error in the classification of oat. Due to the differences in inflorescence between oat and tribe Triticeae, oat cannot be included in tribe Triticeae. Given their strict classification, we have removed the description of oat section in our review to make the content of this review more rigorous.
A correction has been made to Abstract, paragraph one, page 1.
The sentence previously stated:
“Major crops within the Triticeae are wheat, barley, rye, and oat, which are important for human consumption, animal feed, and rangeland protection.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Major crops within the Triticeae are wheat, barley and rye which are important for human consumption, animal feed, and rangeland protection.”
A correction has been made to the Keywords, page 1.
The keywords previously stated:
“Triticeae, wheat, barley, rye, oat, genome sequencing, pan-genome”
The corrected keywords appear below:
“Triticeae, wheat, barley, rye, genome sequencing, pan-genome”
A correction has been made to Introduction, Relationship between Triticeae crop, paragraph one, page 2.
The sentence previously stated:
“Triticeae comprises several major crop species such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), and wheat, including bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Triticeae comprises several major crop species such as barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), rye (Secale cereale L.) and wheat, including bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum).”
A correction has been made to Triticeae crop genome biology section, The oat genome made a significant breakthrough in 2022, page 6.
The section has been removed.
A correction has been made to Table 1 , pages 3 – 4.

Statistics of the published Triticeae crop genomes. The contig N50 (the sequence length of the shortest contig at 50% of the total assembly size) is plotted by the year of publication. The size of each dot is the numerical value of N50. The sequencing platforms are color-coded. The sequencing technologies and the size of N50 have driven a large improvement over the years.
