Corrigendum

It would appear that the events of September 11th have claimed another victim—the accuracy of my The Hot and the Classic column concerning the Monarch Butterfly Controversy (Plant Physiol 127: 709–710, 2000). I was wrong in stating that Losey Rayor and Carter (Nature 399: 214, 1999) had employed a variety of Bt11 maize in their study. In fact, those researchers used a variety of event 176 maize. I profoundly regret my introduction of this error into the literature, and thank Drs. Mark Sears, Diane Stanley-Horn, and Richard Hellmich for bringing this mistake to my attention. Their letter to me in this and other regards and my response to them will be posted on the ASPB Web site (www.aspb.org).
