In Fig 1, panel a is incorrect. Please see the correct Fig 1 here.

Fig 1. Heterosis and deleterious variants.

Fig 1

(a) Boxplots (median and interquartile range) of percent mid-parent heterosis (MPH). (b) Proportion of deleterious alleles in landraces (LR, green) and elite maize (MZ, blue) lines. (c) The allele frequency of the minor alleles in the multi-species alignment in bins of 0.01 GERP score (including GERP < = 0 sites). (d) The mean GERP score for putatively deleterious sites (GERP >0). Each point represents a 1 Mb window. In (c) and (d) the solid blue and dashed black lines define the best-fit regression line and its 95% confidence interval.

In S1 Table, the values in the eleventh column, “Mid-parent_Heterosis”, are incorrect. Please view the correct S1 Table below.

Abbreviations for phenotypic traits are plant height (PHT, in cm), height of primary ear (EHT, in cm), days to 50% pollen shed (DTP), days to 50% silking (DTS), anthesis-silking interval (ASI, in days), grain yield adjusted to 15.5% moisture (GY, in bu/A), and test weight (TW, weight of 1 bushel of grain in pounds).
