The authors regret to announce they would like to withdraw this paper, for two main reasons:
Since the paper was published, it has become clear that the thioredoxin that interacts in yeast 2‐hybrid with the Cf‐9 C‐terminus is in fact localized in the chloroplast, rendering a role in Cf‐9 signalling unlikely.
Close scrutiny of the figures suggests several duplications.
-
‐
In Fig 3A, the Anti‐MBP band in lane 4 closely resembles the antiMBP band in Fig 3B lane 1, though slightly rotated.
-
‐
In Fig 6A, the leaf disc in the panel labelled TRV:00, −Avr9, 30 min looks identical to the leaf disc in Fig S5, panel labelled Cf2 TRV:CITRX, −Avr2, 1 h.
-
‐
In Fig 6C, multiple bands appear duplicated. For example, GlucA, TRV:00, −Avr9, 0 h duplicated with 6 h; and GlucB, TRV:00, +Avr9, 0 h duplicated with Hin1, TRV:00, +Avr9, 0 h.
Source data for these figures are not available.
All the authors agree that this paper should be withdrawn from the scientific literature.
