Following the publication of original article (Singh et al. 2026), it is reported that Fig. 3 has a text “chromosome 8” overlapped on the scale bar; in Fig. 5, the tissue images on the GC–MS profile are missing, and in figure caption, panel “C” has been incorrectly referred to as panel “D”.

Figure 3 has been corrected from:

WGD/Segmental duplication and expression analysis. A Distribution of intrachromosomal segmental duplication. Blue and red represent forward and reverse matches, respectively, B Distribution of interchromosomal segmental duplication, C KEGG enrichment of segmental duplicates (adjusted P-value < 0.05), FDR: False discovery rate D Stacked columns chart showing the ratio of intra to interchromosomal segmental duplicates distribution in AED, Sub, and NoDifff segmental duplicated gene pairs categories, E Distribution of Ka/Ks ratio of AED, Sub, and NoDifff segmental duplicated gene pairs. Note: Gene pairs of the chromosome regions are considered

Phylogenetic and gene expression analysis of SDH Genes and metabolite profiling of tartaric acid in T. indica. A The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree of the SDH homolog genes identified in the Legumes species and Vitis vinifera (with the SDH class marked in blue). SDH homologs of T. indica are marked in red. Bootstrap values (above 50) are displayed on the nodes, B (i) Heat map of the expression value in Log₂(TPM +1) of the three SDH homologs of T. indica in the four tissues (n = 2) (ii) RT-qPCR analyses of identified SDH homologs (TD_00140698-RA and TD_00104693-RA) across four tissues (n = 3 biological replicates). Expression levels were normalised using Elongation factor1-alpha (EF1-α) as the endogenous control. Gene expression is shown as fold change relative to leaves (reference tissue). Error bars represent the standard error mean (± SEM), D GC–MS analysis of the extracts of different tissues of tamarind: (i-iv) Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC) showing tartaric acid-TMS derivative (TA) peak at retention time 12.3–12.5 min and internal standard (IS) peak at 13.3–13.4 min. Peak intensity is mentioned on the y-axis. v. Mass spectra of TA-TMS derivative. vi. The bar plot representation of the TA concentration in each tissue in mg/gram dry weight of the tissue
