The Editors have retracted this article. After publication several image integrity concerns were raised, specifically:

  • Figure 1C M-I-48 R and Nonabokra L appear to overlap with rotation, although representing different plant tissues and rice lines. These bands also appear to overlap with those of Fig. 1D M-I-48, however Fig. 1C and D represent different probes.

  • Figure 1 C M-I-48 L appears to overlap with Fig. 1D Nonabokra, representing different probes and rice lines.

  • Figure 5 A lanes 4 and 5 appear to overlap with Fig. 5C, lanes 2 and 3 describing different treatments.

  • Figure 5B lanes 1 and 2 appear to overlap with Fig. 5D, lanes 1 and 2 describing different treatments.

The authors were unable to provide a sufficient response to concerns, or the original images. The Editors have lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article.

Aryadeep Roy Choudhury did not respond to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction. Kakali Mukherjee, Bhaskar Gupta, Sudhiranjan Gupta and Dibyendu N Sengupta cannot be contacted by the publisher.
