In the original publication [1], there were mistakes in Figures 3, 4 and 7. In each figure, there was a duplicated panel due to an error during figure assembly. The authors contacted the Editorial Office to request a Correction. The corrected Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 7 appear below.
Figure 3.
Effect of VdKeR1 gene on sensitivity to osmotic stress, oxidative stress, and cell wall stress in V. dahliae. (A) Growth of each strain under different osmotic and oxidative stress factors. (B) The inhibition rate of each strain under different osmotic and oxidative stress factors. (C) The growth of each strain under different cell wall stress chemicals. (D) The inhibition rate of each strain under different cell wall stress chemicals. ** ΔVdKeR1 was significantly different from WT and complemented strains (p < 0.01).
Figure 4.
Effect of VdKeR1 gene on melanin synthesis and microsclerotia formation in V. dahliae. (A) Melanin synthesis on V8 and PDA media. (B) Formation of microsclerotia. The spore suspension of each strain was spread on BMM medium covered with glass paper. (scale bar = 50 µm) (C) Micronucleus count statistics. The photographs in the bottom row of (C) were entered into Image J 1.5 software to obtain the number of particles per unit area. (D) Expression levels of genes related to microsclerotia formation and melanin synthesis. Gene expression analysis method as described in M and M. ** ΔVdKeR1 was significantly different from WT and complemented strains (p < 0.01).
Figure 7.
Response of WT, deletion mutant, and complemented strains l to terbinafine. (A) Growth of V. dahliae strains on PDA plates with and without terbinafine. (B) The inhibition rate of each strain under 0.02 μg/mL terbinafine. (C) qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of sqe gene in the absence and presence of terbinafine. Gene expression analysis method as described in M and M. ** ΔVdKeR1 was significantly different from WT and complemented strains (p < 0.01).
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
