Correction to: Communications Biology 10.1038/s42003-021-02057-6, published online 11 May 2021.

The original version of the Article included an error in reporting the glyphosate concentration used in previous work. The “Glyphosate and aromatic amino acid supplementation” section of the methods incorrectly stated a previously reported value of 250 mg glyphosate applied per 48L of soil90 as 250 g glyphosate per 48L of soil, leading to the overestimation of the concentration as 0.4% instead of the correct 0.0004%. This sentence should read “Helander et al. report 250 mg per 48 L of soil to be equivalent to the maximum recommended amount of glyphosate for agronomical applications which translates to 0.0004% based on a fertile soil density of 1.3 g/cm³90.” This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
