We, the Editors and Publishers of Plant Signaling & Behavior are retracting the following article:
Man-Ho Oh, Xia Wu, Steven D. Clouse, and Steven C. Huber “Functional importance of BAK1 tyrosine phosphorylation in vivo” Plant Signaling & Behavior 6.3 (2011): 400–405 http://tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.6.3.14337
We are now cognizant that this paper was reliant on the work of a retracted article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America: Oh et al. “Autophosphorylation of Tyr-610 in the receptor kinase BAK1 plays a role in brassinosteroid signaling and basal defense gene expression” http://www.pnas.org/content/113/27/E3987.short. The errors that accounted for that article's retraction significantly compromised the results and conclusions published in “Functional importance of BAK1 tyrosine phosphorylation in vivo.”
We note that we received, peer-reviewed, accepted, and published the article in good faith based on these warranties, and censure this action.
