Carotenoid isomerase regulates rice tillering and grain productivity by its biosynthesis pathway

Abstract

The authors would like to draw the reader's attention to errors in the following article:

Ding, C., Shao, Z., Yan, Y., Zhang, G., Zeng, D., Zhu, L., Hu, J., Gao, Z., Dong, G., Qian, Q., and Ren, D. (2024). Carotenoid isomerase regulates rice tillering and grain productivity by its biosynthesis pathway. J. Integr. Plant Biol. 66: 172–175. https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.13617

During the organization of original photographic materials, the authors identified that the image labeled “OE-2” in Figure 1A had been erroneously replaced with another tillering phenotype-related plant image captured simultaneously from the same directory. This substitution resulted in the incorrect incorporation of the “OE-2” image during the composite figure assembly process. The authors have subsequently prepared the authentic original photograph corresponding to “OE-2,” with both the original Figure 1A and its rectified version presented below. A comprehensive re-examination confirmed that the applied correction altered neither the data description nor the text conclusions.

The authors apologize for this error.
