In the published article, there were 2 errors. A sentence in the Conclusions of the article was not revised in time, resulting in a difference from the analysis of the results in the text. This sentence previously stated:
“Our results showed that the 1241st base G of the ZmbHLH112 gene in the mutant was mutated into A, and glycine was mutated into aspartic acid.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Our results showed that the 1241st base G of the ZmbHLH112 gene in the mutant was mutated into A, whereby tryptophan was mutated into termination codon.”
There was also an error in the caption of Figure 2 . This sentence previously stated:
“(E) Corresponding leaf angle in (D, F) Mature ear of wild type and mutant.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“(E) Corresponding leaf angle in D; (F) Mature ear of wild type and mutant.”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
